PrintI didn't jump. Iowa played better than I expected and I'd been thinking Cap One Bowl ever since Stanzi was helped off the field last week.
Night games are
- #2 Bama vs Miss State
- #8 LSU vs Louisiana Tech
- #4 TCU vs #16 Utah
- #17 Arizona vs Cal
- #12 Pitt vs Norte Dame
- #13 Oregon vs Arizona St.
- #19 OK State vs Texas Tech
I'll be rooting for nearly all underdogs to give Iowa a shot at an At-Large BCS berth with a stomping of the LOLphers at home next week.

I don't like ND
but I think I’ll be backing them since Pitt winning hurts Iowa’s shot at an At-Large BCS bid

Hi, guys
I just came back from a very crazy baby shower/birthday party. The baby shower part was kind of innocence, but the b-day party was the opposite. There was so much azz shaking and liquor flowing I thought I was at frat party with pregnant chicks and babies crawling around. lol
"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."

Yep
But no babies or pregnant women were harmed. :-)
"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."
I avoid baby showers in general
Dozens of women cooing “Oh, how precious!” at every newly opened present sounds nightmarish to me. But if there was liquor flowing in the next room, I might be able to handle it.

by TheAngelsColts on Nov 14, 2009 11:33 PM EST up reply actions
I dunno man.
So many aspects of the team are in such a mess that it’s hard to make any kind of accurate appraisal.
I think the team needs new leadership, and I think Cutler is as talented as we hoped, but needs a very good mentor for on and off field development.
We’re gonna have to be very patient.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
he does have the talent. but
i think he needs some one that can show him disipline in the sense that he thinks cause he can throw so hard that he can get it in anywhere and then gets picked. leadership would help. also you need to find your running game again and that would probably help

We need an offensive line at least as competent as the
average Jr Varsity squad in order to get a running game going, and incidentally, to keep our QB from running for his life on every snap.
But nah, we’ll just shell out for over-the-hill OL players, throw ’em out there and see what happens.
And heaven forbid we make adjustments!

was looking at the 2006 draft class not to long ago, prompted by a Cutler discussion
and holy hell is it a disaster.
Top 11 picks had VY, Leinart and Cutler
Second rounders Kellen Clemens and Tarvaris Jackson
Third Rounder Broide Croyle
and the only late rounder who hasn’t washed out already is Bruce Gradkowski (who is on the Raiders which is pretty much the same thing)

What is up with these things coming in cycles??
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
By "leadership", do you mean Lovie Smith?
On the one hand, he’s been to a Super Bowl with Chicago. On the other, he’s never really developed Chicago’s offense that well. Rex Grossman in his day was as much a liability as he was an asset.
I sort of hate to see a coach in Dungy’s coaching tree go out, but the fact remains that the Bears haven’t been meeting expectations since the ’06 season Super Bowl.

I definitely would agree with that.
Some of his mistakes during the Niners game were rookie type mistakes. But he’s not a rookie. He’s got the arm, but his decision making just wasn’t there, at least for that game.
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
Seriously, Lovie looks clueless out there.
DOn’t know what he’s like behind the scenes, but on the sidelines, he seems to be purely a bemused spectator.
But the leadership problems start, in this case, with the owners and from there pervade the whole thing.

A lot of people compare them, but it's night and day.
Dungy was subtle, but you could see actual EXPRESSIONS on his face, and it was clear things were happening between those generous ears. Not so sure about Lovie.

idk i think it is more of others. he did good getting them to
the super bowl as meaningless as that is now. i do think it has to do with some of the coaches though. like the offensive line coach as you just mentioned the o-lines struggles. i think the defensive issures has some to do with the lose of the captian though

"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
nothing against you, shake, or iowa in general
but that game shouldnt have been close. Jim Tressel should be fired and/or shot, in any order. Get a 2 touchdown lead and throw exactly 0 passes (or was it 1 pass, if they threw one pass, then it was exactly 0 passes passed the line of scrimmage). The guy is a fucking eunic when it comes to coaching. Maybe he’s a good teacher and maybe he’s great at division III or whatever, but winning the NT 8 years ago only carries so much fucking weight. Week after week its ‘get a lead and then run run run run runr urnrunrunrunrunrunrunruhngjhljhglsdjhgsdflgdfsljhg;sdljhgl;sdhgl;sdhgl;shg’l;shg’. And that philosophy was even worse today since the Punter was putting up beautiful 20 yard mallards. I don’t care how bad Pryor looks throwing the ball: He’s been destroyed by a coach that refuses to use his abilities properly. He wants a spread option QB to run the power-fucking-I. They’ve been better about running more spread lately, but for fuck sake, like i said, as soon as they get any lead Tressel exumes woody hayes and pulls out the -5 yards and a punt of crap offense. Fuck you, Jim Tressel. Take your damn trophy and go back to youngstown and let someone that doesn’t want to lose every fucking game in the last 30 seconds coach one of the most prestigious programs in the country.
PS – Tressel’s shitty coaching was only slightly worse than Kirk Ferentz ass fart of a trainwreck. You need, what, 30-40 yards to get a tryable FG, you have 1 minute and 2 time outs and you have the buckeyes on the ropes. Whats worse, if they would have just run a play on second down, they had the buckeyes in a horrible defense (they were blitzing 2, i believe) and had a chance to get a good chunk of yards. The QB hadn’t played like a freshman all game, show some trust in him when it counts. Got what he deserved for playing scared at the end of regulation and then coming out with that cluster fuck in OT1.

Iowa's reason not to be in it was uber-conservative playcalling by OSU
OSU’s was Iowa leaving minimum 10 points on the field with drops and the missed FG

disagree completely
OSUs uber conservative 3-and-out offense was the only thing that allowed iowa to get enough tries to win.

OSU wouldn't have even had any significant lead to squander if it wasn't for the points Iowa gave away
Stross catches the ball that hits him in the chest in the endzone on 3rd down the first quarter ends 7-0 Iowa
Moeaki catches a high pass instead of tipping it up for a pick Iowa is on the edge of FG range with a minute left in the half. Halftime is 10-10
Murray hits the chip shot FG and the 3rd quarter ends 20-10 Iowa with the TD off the two big passes to McNutt.
In the 4th OSU hit back to back TDs making it 24-20 OSU, DJK houses the 2nd kickoff to put Iowa back up 27-24
.
.
Now Iowa has the lead with 11 to play rather than the OSU lead that you’re bitching about them squandering with over conservative playcalling.

You're right
Iowa’s been so good all year that I should take their side of the equation over OSU’s.
Oh, wait.
Iowa never had the lead. You’re arguing in could have beens about a team that sucks (sorry, true). I’m arguing about actually-weres with a team that is poorly coached. If its and buts were candy and nuts Iowa would be undefeated by a combined 8 points. This, however, is reality, where Iowa wasn’t very good, got by for a few weeks, and now is regressing to the mean. Enjoy your 3 loss season.
Also, in your neat little ‘if only htis had happened we’d be kings of the world’ make believe story, you’re leaving out points that OSU left on the field. Missed kicks, missed oppurtunities, and how about the offsides that wasnt. He flinched, but he never even crossed the black line on the TV. Then the score is 31-10! But wait, that didn’t happen! So lets actually talk about what DID happen!
Iowa scored 10 points until the fourth quarter, and because of Jim Tressel’s uber conservative game plan, which he uses game in and game out, the Buckeyes were unable to capitalize on Iowa’s misques and general suckitude and put them away.

also, whats generally amazing
is someone who attempts to have such an analytical approach to football is becoming such a ‘WELL IF LOL’ pussy because I said Jim Tressel was a bad coach. Amazing how Jim Tressel being a bad coach got the whole state of florida in your vag, dude. I’m sure Kirk Ferentz is glad that you’ll always fight for his honour, though. Maybe if you bitch and whine to the computers you can keep them in the top 15!

seriously?
you are playing well if with the play calling and I countered with well if in the execution. You’re whole argument is “well if”
that game shouldnt have been close
you made this about “well if” and now are bitching about me engaging in that discussion? Seriously?
and if you can’t have a discussion respectfully then you won’t be around here. I was nothing but civil and on topic while you come back with calling me a pussy and taking about having whole states up “my vag”
