OMHR and Illinois barely count
don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we didn’t all lose, but those were winnable games. It would have been nice if the MSU wasn’t the only team to win games that people actually watched.

My mom's favorite joke is that she married my dad b/c he had piles.
She thought it was piles of money but it was actually piles of shit.
My dad made a joke about that too.
I told him he needed another million so we all get an even share. Here’s the deal though, my vote would be to never sell.
are you still farming or have a stable renter?
Otherwise it’s hard to argue against the prices right now

Both. If my dad wins his election he's selling the cows.
They rent most of the row crop land but keep some for the cows and pasture.

Well, trading MO and A&M for TCU and WV made that harder for the bottom-ers. TTech is done with relevancy again – so you have a better than mediocre UT, OU, OSU, then KState, TCU and WV, then Baylor so long as Briles stays, and ISU, TTech and KU. He doesn’t stand a chance.

Exactly.
If the Colts DON’T draft Luck it will be the dumbest move by a pro team ever. I realize there are no “sure” things but Luck is a pretty good shot at being a sure thing, and his neck isn’t, to the best of everyone’s knowledge, just about FUBAR.
Hell, if I were Manning I’d probably medically retire anyway. You know, you kind of need your neck and spine…

I’d see no problem with them trading the pick for 2 or 3 extra picks and attempting to shore up other issues.
by The Mexican't on Jan 2, 2012 9:06 PM CST up reply actions
They have to deal Manning.
You’re right; they have a lot of issues personnel-wise. Drafting a franchise QB is the most important thing (e.g. Manning, Peyton). Outside of Jay Cutler, you’re not going to be able to pick up a Pro Bowl-level QB otherwise. I’m sure they can find a team who’ll take a chance on Manning’s iffy neck and be able to get some picks (maybe even a player) for him. It’s probably not the most popular decision in Indianapolis since PM’s been the face of that franchise for more than a decade now, but it’s probably the smart one.

Sounds similar to Montana or Steve Young
except that Luck will be a rookie, whereas Young had played for a few years.
Also, if the Luck-led Colts don’t win big within 3 to 5 years, and if Manning has any good years left, the fans might not be forgiving.

That's stupid
this is a business. You take your chances, and Papa Manning’s words mean exactly dick.
To put it another way, I believe Belichick would draft Luck. And if necessary, give Brady his walking papers. It’ll be ugly, but it worked out with regards to Drew Bledsoe

I think the Colts draft Luck,
and let Manning play his way out of the starting spot. It will be expensive, and I don’t know how long or if Manning can still play, but that day will come at some point.
But, it will probably also mean they won’t have the cash to re-sign some of their other older players (Saturday, etc).
It is weird. I thought firing the Polians might be a move toward what Manning wanted, but this article makes it sound like Peyton was not expecting it.

You had to see her on TV, the whining was epic. People complain in Iowa too but its more in that stoic “we can take it, bring it on” sort of way. Her problem, honestly, was she had a shitty Columbia brand winter “hoodie” with the KCRA emblem on it. That’s a great coat with a sweater as long as there’s no wind and the temp is 40 or higher. :)

I'll take your word that she was too whiny.
But it was quite cold last night, and I assume, today (I only stepped out today to grab my mail from the mailbox).
Driving back from Arizona, I got out of the car at an Ames gas station and it was very windy and quite cold. Wind in most of Iowa last night was 25 to 40 mph from the northwest. Wind chills were down to single digits, and regular temps were in the 20s, I think. It was quite a gut-punch after the unusually warm winter we’ve had so far.

I don't think PSU fans would be happy for long with Bielema.
You guys need to find a young guy, who you will not fire for about a decade (unless he goes full retard and runs someone over while drunk or something).
Bielema is not that guy.
If you can’t get Chris Petersen, get someone like him. (I don’t think Dan Mullen fits that description).
I’m not wild about the cavalcade of NFL guys they seem to be considering, but I wasn’t wild about Ferentz at first, either. Still, I think you need a guy that media, fans and players can like while PSU goes through what I think will be at least a couple years of struggle. Basically, you need someone like Hayden Fry circa 1973.

Still, if I was working with a third string RB, I think I’d have found a way to get McNutt the ball more than 4 successful times.

by WaterlooChazz on Jan 2, 2012 10:24 PM CST up reply actions
I guess I am a bit confused
They drew up over 10 plays where if he was not the primary option he was an option. Oklahoma did a great job defending him, he dropped a few, and Vandy missed some of his throws. That seems like a pretty huge percentage of plays that they tried to get him the ball on.
DRUNJIFORNICATION
by SaturdayMorningKegStanzis on Jan 2, 2012 10:26 PM CST up reply actions
I think they tried, but OU had decided to do everything necessary to shut down McNutt.
Considering he was Iowa’s only offensive weapon, it was probably easier than it would have been if Coker were allowed to play. Getting the ball to KMM and Davis should have been enough to open up McNutt, but I don’t think Davis was able to do enough to allow McNutt the space to make more plays. When an offense is one-dimensional, as Iowa’s was on Friday, it’s easy to make them look like complete failures.
by The Mexican't on Jan 2, 2012 10:27 PM CST up reply actions
Oklahoma had an NFL quality CB on him
He couldn’t get separation as far as I could see which may not bode well for him next year. It also says a lot about the quality of WR we have had here.

By the way, that is now the name of the McDonald’s sandwich that I inspired. It is basically two McChicken sandwiches, with no mayo, take one bun off each, add hot sauce, and enjoy.

Did Luck announce his decision to enter the draft before this game?
All the lead in stuff kept saying this was his last game, but I don’t remember seeing any sort of announcement.
Something must replace the loss of the Ortonbeard in the NFL.

If the talking Tostitos bag replaced Matt Millen… would anyone notice? Would it be an upgrade?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Probably upgrade.
I think Millen needed a calculator to figure the Stanford FG distance just before the end of regulation.

Called the wrong side of the coin on the toss.

Well, it SHOULD be an academic kick from there, so I'm not too surprised.
But still… lame.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I guess.
With two attempts from inside the 1 yard line, I’m shocked that any coach is lame enough to take a knee there.

Well,
the question is, do you trust your kicking unit, or someone else not to fumble, more.
Apparently, the answer was kicking unit.

Stanford was 67 of 68 in the redzone on the year heading into the final drive of regulation.
