Agreed. ISU fans have become quite adept at playing the victim card.

Another key sequence was Gesell missing the front end of a 1-and-1 right after Long fouled out, just after that last media timeout. Instead of being up 5 or 6, the lead stays at 4, and ISU got it two on their resulting possession. That sequence of events changed the last 4 minutes of the game...

You two need to get your stories straight.

ISU also attempted 36 free throws to Iowa's 21.

Not throwing a pick 6 and giving up a punt return touchdown probably would have helped the cause.

Yes, because we all know how awesome those Iowa teams of 1999 and 2000 were.

Only one way to change that narrative, and that's to win your way out of it. Except Nebraska, that team can get ****ed.

Oh, I really don't care either way. If an undefeated Ohio State gets left out, I'll enjoy the whining from their fan base. If they get in over a 1-loss SEC team, I'll laugh at the Auburn fans. Either way, I win. In any event, my office Christmas party is this coming Saturday so the chances...

It's their circus, let them have it.

Agreed, Wisconsin is done as far as the BCS is concerned.

What an odd feeling to have.

Let's not pretend that Auburn jumping Ohio State is that far-fetched of a scenario. In a business where the way you win - margin of victory - matters, Ohio State didn't pass the test today. They were two touchdown favorites and got taken to the wire by a barely above average Michigan team...

That's not going to happen. I suppose I should expand on that. One reason is they've played in the Cap1 the last 2 years, another is with this being the last year of B1G affiliation for the BWW/Insight bowl, a matchup between Nebraska and either Oklahoma or Texas would look mighty attractive.

I think both defenses played well; with the difference being that Nebraska's was playing their backs against the wall most of the time. Iowa's offense cashed in when given the opportunity, but the Hawks won this game in the same way the best Ferentz teams have won games, with defense and...

Very true, and in all honesty that flag could have been throw long before it actually was. I'll defend Bo on the halftime interview, but he made his own bed with that tantrum in the 3rd quarter.

He does, but at the same time he's also human. I'll defend him on that one. He's got a reputation as a hothead, his team had just been manhandled for the first 30 minutes, and a pointless sideline reporter asks him how he feels about his QB throwing two interceptions.

They outgained Iowa by 7 yards. If Rudock just keeps in and runs for the first down on Iowa's first possession, they don't even have that to point to.

Even without the turnovers, Iowa wins by 7. None of them were handed to Iowa either. It wasn't a case of what they did against Michigan State. Hitchens and Morris both baited Kellogg into those interceptions, and Hitch (or Kirksey), stood Abdullah up and ripped the ball out when Nebraska had...

It's not just the media, it's the fans as well. They hold whomever has that job up to an impossible to achieve standard. It's going to take a generation or two for Nebraska fans to realize that Nebraska is just another middle-tier team in the B1G.

Not to defend, but what is he supposed to say there? It's the heat of the moment, he's just seen his team get badly outplayed for 30 minutes, and then the sideline reporter asks him a loaded question.
