ahem: Cal Poly Mustangs vs. Wisconsin Badgers - Recap - November 22, 2008 - ESPN

I really don't understand the obsession with the Big Ten's reputation. It only matters if we think Iowa's going to be in the running for the national championship game, and I don't really see that happening. Go Panthers-- and go Broncos, too. Any day that Bielema or Dantonio lose is a good one...

I put the throwback uniforms in a different category. That's what the team looked like in the early 1920s (sans real helmets, of course). Of course it's going to look a little strange. But when teams come up with something new because they are trying to look cool, and then walks out in something...

Week 1: Arizona

Purdue's starting middle linebacker may be done for the year. Tough to see them as a sleeper team any more. Boilers' Beckford has run out of chances - Big Ten Blog - ESPN

The newly revised NOAA forecast... doesn't look good: Tropical Storm ISAAC Obviously the storm will have petered out by then but any leftover bands are likely to bring a lot of rain and wind. Ugh.

If we have a worse season than Penn State I'll eat my computer. Folks are seriously underestimating the hits they've taken and severely overestimating how far "emotion" will take them. They just don't have the horses.

I don't know how many different ways we can put it. The people complaining aren't mad that people have a sense of humor, that people blow off steam, that conversations organically turn into something else after three pages (i.e. the Aaron White thread that turned into a discussion of Jordan vs...

One last thing: I literally clicked on this thread thinking it was going to be a discussion about the timing of Iowa's bye week. That's probably a clear sign of how desperate for real football I am-- I was actually looking forward to reading and participating in a thread about Iowa's bye.

Cheers to that; thanks for reading.

Believe me, I have no problem with juvenile humor. I watched Dirty Work this afternoon on HBO. It still holds up after all these years. I think what you aren't getting is that when threads get taken over by these kind of shenanigans, no one wants to post anything interesting any more. Why...

Speaking personally, it's not the fact that people are trying to have fun that bothers me. It's that the same five or so "jokes" get repeated endlessly, even in threads that are actually interesting on their own merit. And I put "jokes" in quotes because what passes for humor in most of these...

Iwebema was a three-star who chose us over Michigan State and Kansas State. Riley McMinn was about on his level coming out of high school; Darien Cooper was a bit better (offers from Michigan, Florida, etc.). I'm not saying these two are going to the NFL. I'm saying that we have as much reason...

That's what's so disappointing. There was a ton of stuff to talk about this summer-- some of it bad news, but still. Iowa put together their recruiting class way earlier than usual. DeAndre Johnson and Barkley Hill. The PTL debuts of the incoming basketball players. The Penn State ruling. With...

1) The 95% of us who are adults don't need to be moderated. The policies are stickied at the top of every forum. They aren't complicated. 2) There is literally nothing in these threads to participate in without trolling or being trolled. There are tons of people who start interesting threads...

The point is that with or without the ignore feature, threads are getting derailed. The first time I click on a thread about, say, Kyle Meyer, and it actually isn't about Kyle Meyer at all, but instead about who's a real fan, who's being sarcastic, and who needs a better sense of humor, I get...

That's easy to say now, but who thought in 2005 that Iwebema and Mattison were going to be NFL players? They were sophomores at the time. I'm not saying that we're stacked with sure-fire NFLers on defense, but I am saying that there are a lot of young guys who are going to get significant...

Yep, got it. I googled the wrong guy.

There's no question the Hawks don't have the talent on the defensive line that we're used to seeing. From a purely player-by-player talent standpoint, this year will be a step back. BUT, I also don't think we're going to ask them to do nearly as much. This will be the first time in 12 years...

The more I look at this, the more I feel like that if we can get anything out of the defensive line, we won't be half bad. I'm very happy with all of the other position groups except for running back, and if our O-line is as good as I think it can be than even a mediocre back should be able to...
