Iowa victory Muppet-worthy?
So, my 12 year-old son enjoys the Muppet victories as much as I do. he asked me today, "Would an Iowa victory get Muppets?" My response - I don't know. They are clearly not a blood rival, but they are ranked #12 and may well be the best ream we've played against so far. So, we decided to ask the MGoBlog community:
Would a road victory at #12 Iowa be Muppet-worthy? Discuss.

Depends on how the victory comes about, my guess.
October 9th, 2009 at 9:17 PM ^
If you beat the #12 team, on the road, at night, on national televisions . . . is there such a thing as a bad victory?
October 9th, 2009 at 9:33 PM ^
2-0?
October 9th, 2009 at 11:12 PM ^
That actually sounds good to me.
BG with the game winning safety in the 4th quarter to end an epic defensive battle?
If our defense held Iowa to zero points, I would be seriously stoked and assume it meant Tate was pulled due to forgetting to brush his teeth again. I mean, you can only let bad breath go so many times.

Well I mean, a 20-10 game would be pretty generic. If we fall behind 28-0 and Tate goes insane and leads five scoring drives in 10 minutes in the 4th and we win 31-28...that's slightly better.
October 9th, 2009 at 9:20 PM ^
Yes.
October 9th, 2009 at 9:26 PM ^
If Tate brings us screaming back again and we win on some sort of last second heroics - sure. What if we simply outplay them and win by 7-10? (Not a prediction or even sure that it would happen that way, but intended to build on the "How the victory happens" point above)

When I first saw the title I was going to give you a hard time about mentioning the Muppets before the game, but since it is for your kid, I would tell him yes, The Muppets would be warranted.
October 9th, 2009 at 9:46 PM ^
It's a road game against an undefeated team that is favored to beat us. So I would have to say yes.
October 9th, 2009 at 10:13 PM ^
It would be the most significant victory yet in RR's career here, by far, because it's on the road in a very hostile stadium.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:12 PM ^
Absolutamente! Gimme some of those Muppets! If Brian doesn't provide them, I'm sure someone will provide them on the MGoBoard.

After last season, anything positive should result in muppets.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:15 AM ^
Without question.
- Young, inexperienced M team.
- #12 ranked team
- On road
- Night game/national television
Absolutely.
I think the Muppets should be used sparingly, but, this is an instance that absolutely merits their presence.
After this game, I think the only other game this year that warrants Muppets would be OSU.
(And maybe Penn St. but only if it involves an epic comeback.)

I'm thinking, yeah, I could use some muppets tomorrow around midnight.

This is a big game, bounce backs are prevelant at any level. The first loss changes every team, last year at FL they decided to play like they had to fight Tim Tebow+God if they lost. This team better have Mike Barwis+Rich Leach ready to fight... That scares me just thinking about it.
Fuck the expectation, fuck the hype, if you don't want this, we don't want you. Go Blue. Out.
Drank some earlier...

I'd say probably. Provided that it's not especially boring and that nothing too worrisome happens.
