Day after Thanksgiving College Football Open Thread
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
Should be about 21-3 Iowa. Probably gonna end up 10-7 Nebraska.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
Will go into the locker room during halftime and pull his head out of his ass. We can all hope.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:31 PM ^
Thank god I'm only forced to watch this embarrassment this week. If my middle school football team made these mistakes I'd be embarrassed, this is supposed to be major college football. Did I say the word embarrassing enough?

Michigan OSU 1974 on BTN with Paterno doing color commentary

Just checked halftime score for Iowa Neb after successfully installing a toilet.
If it takes me dealing with shit for the Hawkeyes to win I'll do it.
I will now fix my sink and caulk my bathroom.
Go Iowa!
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:43 PM ^
Wait you waited until the day before gameday to install the Horseshoe?
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:33 PM ^
Pathetic, but at least we have some hope at half time. More than I would have expected. Come on Hawkeyes

On the positive side, I give the Iowa defensive staff a lot of credit for picking up their side's confidence after their disastrous performance against us and getting them to buy into this week's gameplan. They've earned their money this week.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:40 PM ^
Does Iowa have the option at the start of the second half to pick wind or no wind? If so, I wonder if Ferentz will pick going into the wind so he has the wind in the fourth quarter. Of course, if he does that, it will probably be 24-7 by the start of the fourth quarter!
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:46 PM ^
I'd prefer to have the wind in the 4th Qtr as opposed to the ball. Martinez seems to have more trouble throwing in this wind than the Iowa QB, so they'll probably run the ball, eat up clock, and wish the had the wind at the end of the game when they need that game-tying/game-winning FG.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:51 PM ^
The team that takes the ball doesn't choose which direction to go to. If he had passed up the ball here, he could have had that choice. Strangely, it looks like he'll get the wind in the 4th anyway.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:41 PM ^
This is so bogus. Normally a semi-final is something where the winner goes to this thing called the final! And apparently Georgia may have two semifinals in back to back weeks. Just random thoughts while I sit through the halftime show at work.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:53 PM ^
They need to give people a reason to watch this one without Barkley
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
Iowa needs to try to kill off the 3rd quarter and have the lead in the 4th with the wind
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
is just a big tease
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:52 PM ^
The real Iowa is showing up now.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:52 PM ^
Pro tip: Three yards and a cloud of dust leaves you with 4th and 1 if you run it three times in a row.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:53 PM ^
Run it 4 times in a row!?!?
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:54 PM ^
This is Ferentz, here...
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:53 PM ^
I think the plan is to get more than 3 yards...
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:53 PM ^
The Nebraska players' nameplates look weird. The letters are too small and stretched out.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:54 PM ^
UNLEASH SECRET WEAPON BURKHEAD?
shit we are all fucked
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:56 PM ^
Nebraska is out-Iowa-ing Iowa with their white running back and tight end passes.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
Have they always employed the tressel snap count?
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
Meyer. Sorry
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
There's the Taylor we all know and love.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
Nice D Iowa!
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
how did he do bad things to our D?
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:59 PM ^
Because with Denard hurt the defense spent most the game on the field. Denard doesnt' get hurt in that game and it was an easy Michigan win.
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:01 PM ^
I don't know if it would have been easy. We weren't scoring with Denard in either. Now if Devin would have played it might have been easy.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:59 PM ^
Remember they scored 23 points and 16 of those were after Denard went out and Michigan spent the rest of the day going 3 and out or worse.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
their head coach had. Yeesh.
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:59 PM ^
With that wind anything from over 40 yards will be pretty well impossible for Nebreska in the 4th quarter
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:01 PM ^
Given the way Nebraska's season has gone in about 25 minutes the wind will suddently die down to a dead calm.
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:02 PM ^
And a 4-yard pass to a TE with a hyphenated last name. What could possibly be more Iowa?
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:04 PM ^
Black and yellow black and yellow
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:04 PM ^
Punting to gain 11 yards of field position.
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:04 PM ^
Should be running that play clock down below 5
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:04 PM ^
Love that Iowa gets the wind in the 4th. Keep grinding Hawkeyes
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:04 PM ^
Vandenberg should really stop throwing on the run.
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:05 PM ^
Damnit
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:05 PM ^
This is the worst.
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:05 PM ^
Iowa is so unbelievably bad.
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:05 PM ^
Break
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:06 PM ^
some young offensive ball carrier struggle for ever inch of ground he can manage against a 300 pound linebacker, some official sauntering in to commandeer the ball after the play is blown dead. . . then placing it anywhere from a half foot to three feet from where the play ended.
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:06 PM ^
Understand. Ur unis are misled after the steelers.
Run the ball like they would do
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:07 PM ^
Great job Iowa D!!!
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:07 PM ^
Hyde is quite good at making that read...
