Orange Bowl open thread
You know, when the game was announced, I was kinda "meh". But now that I'm home and ready to watch it, I'm kinda getting excited. The contrasting styles intrigue me, another Big Ten team, to see how they'll do, and the celebration that is the LAST BCS bowl game on FOX. Yay!
And it can't be worth than last night's game, can it?
If nothing else maybe we'll get more Taco Bell commercials...
(Though Iowa and GT will have a hard time topping TCU's cheer team).

for all of Iowa's dominance to not lead this by at least 10pts is pretty sad.
January 5th, 2010 at 9:55 PM ^
Amy Watson, rivaling Denise, pitches the local hospitals vagina doctor staff. (I'm not making this up.)
January 5th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
presumably this hospital is offering up $0.89 vaginal procedures as well.
January 5th, 2010 at 9:55 PM ^
Mandatory halftime Mangino Picture.
January 5th, 2010 at 9:56 PM ^
And yes, I'm leaving it that big.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:07 PM ^
That's What She Said.
January 5th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
that button's living on borrowed time
January 5th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
look half bad in orange ...
January 5th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
Well, there goes all the Denise woodies.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
He makes obie look like a little miscolored grape, lol
January 5th, 2010 at 10:15 PM ^
He is actually fatter than the orange-shaped mascot, which should be pretty close to spherical. Truly amazing.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:04 PM ^
stage with Kool & the Gang = funny
January 5th, 2010 at 10:07 PM ^
World Junior Hockey Update:
U.S. 5
Canada 3
Whaaaaaa.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:13 PM ^
USA! USA!
January 5th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
Fug, Canada tied it up. Come on USA.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:08 PM ^
is actually putting on a good show.
Best Half time show ever would is still probably Ashlee Simpson it takes a lot of talent to get booed off stage by tens of thousands.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:11 PM ^
however, the halftime show at the Under Armour game last weekend was off the hook: Jeezy w/ a malfunctioning sound system was killer
January 5th, 2010 at 10:08 PM ^
this halftime show needs more cheerleader...
January 5th, 2010 at 10:08 PM ^
Kool and the Gang is still hot.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:11 PM ^
How hot can it be without J.T. Taylor? Can't have Celebration without the Jheri Curl.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:09 PM ^
Ummm James "Kool" Bell that aint. That's just some dude. They should be called That Dude And The Gang. Where the fuck is James "Kool" Bell?!?! That's like when they say the Temptations are going to be performing at some venue and half the fucking act is 30 years old.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:17 PM ^
Kool was actually the bass player. You're thinking of Taylor, the lead singer.
But yes, that guy is too young to be part of the Gang.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:19 PM ^
Yes, he was, in fact, a fish.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
NCAAB Big Ten Update: Iowa had 15 first half points against Illinois. Illini lead currently, 39-19, 17:45 to go.
That's a pretty miserable first half output.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:15 PM ^
Is that Tom Brokaw doing the voice for the University of Iowa commercial?
January 5th, 2010 at 10:19 PM ^
a student of Iowa. a grad of South Dakota.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
It seems like GT might have an advantage b/c they'll be making adjustments that, if they work, Iowa will then have to adjust to, but with no halftime to discuss it.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:26 PM ^
They got Mike Leach in at halftime to institute the spread passing game.
Problem is the Quarterback is still stuck in the closet.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:25 PM ^
this color commentator really is annoying, he is the same guy slobbered all over Tebow last year in the NC game.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:27 PM ^
Or am I thinking of a different Tebow game?
January 5th, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
I don't remember his name just the voice, every time he opens his mouth I die a little inside
January 5th, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
Correct. That was Tom Brennamen. That was a huge penalty for false start there. Just when Tech was moving the ball.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:25 PM ^
Iowa not looking so strong defensively right now.
Put Stanzi in at Safety. His presence alone will cause an interception.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:26 PM ^
Never heard a more truer statement about iowa football
January 5th, 2010 at 10:26 PM ^
finally showed up.
Half time adjustments looking good for tech.
Big third down coming up.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:27 PM ^
Man, Paul Johnson always looks so constipated.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
"Does that look like the punting unit?"
Really dude, really?
January 5th, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
I'm going to take a wild guess that getting a penalty every 3rd play probably doubly bad for an option offense without a kicker.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
but I get why they went for the points.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:29 PM ^
Miss! Big break for Iowa. If they can drive for a TD here GT will be in a bit of a pickle.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:29 PM ^
No good. Let's see what Ferentz did for adjustments at
halftime.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
throw to the left?
January 5th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
Iowa cheer team TCU cheer team.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:34 PM ^
the world needs more TCU cheer team
January 5th, 2010 at 10:35 PM ^
Just goes to show you how good any offense can look when the QB starts off 8 for 8 and how meh it can look when he's not as hot.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:35 PM ^
I will not be sad to see Tony Moeaki graduate this year.
He went to the same high school as my cousin and was a 5* coming out of high school. Despite his productivity this year, I can't really say he lived up to his billing.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:36 PM ^
The Big Ten is going to win more BCS Bowl games in 2010 than they did in just about the entire prior decade.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:38 PM ^
I really dig that Muhammad Ali remix in the Gatorade commercial.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:44 PM ^
I'd like it more if it didn't perpetuate the myth that the Williams sisters are hot.
Still, like the gymnast bendiness.
