SUGAR BOWL LIVEGAMEOPENTHREAD
Iowa's record against BCS bowl teams is stellar. Since 2007, Iowa has gone 4-3 against teams that eventually played in the Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, or Orange Bowl or the BCS National Championship game (and that's with an 0-2 mark in 2010). That includes a 1-0 record against tonight's opponents, as Michigan faces Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl (7:30 CST, ESPN). The Wolverines opened as three-point favorites; that has comically been whittled down to a pick 'em.
Anyway, open thread is open. No racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, illegal internet streams of the game, general douchebaggery, or -- this is especially important tonight -- NO POLITICS. I know it's Caucus Night. Go elsewhere for discussion.

Yeah, I posted that in the INP thread.
I’m excited about our younger OLs, though. I would be distraught if he was a top-notch DL.

Yep, his career is coming to a close. It's only a matter of time.
Injuring half backs is tradition here at Iowa.
To be fair, we lose plenty of RBs for non-injury reasons
So he could get someone pregnant or commit a crime or post on Facebook or whatever else

If Tech can convince Michigan to miss four or five tackles on each play
they just might have a chance here.
They just need to be patient until 4th down.

I suppose how it will end is
the third-string kicker that’s been the hero so far will end up as the goat.

Michigan is in a competition to see how many tackles they can miss, aren't they?

Because it worked out so well in the recent past (read: last night)
Of course, with a 4th down, they’d damn well better kick a field goal.

I like the phrase "Santorum surges", and not because of alliteration.
That’s as political as I’ll be getting.

Well, gay marraige is legal in Iowa after all
You had to know that Santorum wasn’t going to be far behind.
Hoping at least one headline reads something like “Santorum surges from behind to make splash in Iowa.”

RichRod left Hoke with a tremendous talent at QB.
The emergence of Trouissant was HUGE for the Wolverines. The B1G is better when Michigan isn’t a steaming pile of failure. Plus, watching Iowa beat them is more fun when Michigan doesn’t blow goats.

If you mean Va Tech
they shot themselves in the foot so many times in this game, all the way down to the false start where they would have had 1st-and-goal with plenty of time to punch it in.
