There comes a point when you’re drinking, where you get to the bottom of the cooler, and all of the good beer is gone. You reach around for a while and the only think you can pull out is something nasty like Keystone or [insert prole beer here]. You don’t really want to drink it, but you also don’t want to lose that buzz. You end up drinking it anyways, hate it the entire time, and then have some nice gut rot to go with your hangover.
As labored as this analogy is, that is the best thing I can compare to Iowa’s victory over UNI.
Has there ever been a game that you were for afraid to lose than this one? Me personally, I would probably rather live through the Lick years than live in a world where Iowa is the worst football team in the state. We would have had to play Drake next year just to save face, although they would probably make us come to them. Of course, while we were afraid to lose the UNI game, many fans thought that just by being afraid to lose the game, we’d already lost. Thanks for nothing Kurt. This team has sunk so low that we lost to UNI.
A few weeks ago, I wondered aloud how Damon Bullock’s career would come to a devastating conclusion. Hopefully, getting kicked to the head is just AIRBHG best shot, not his warning shot. Whatever you do, keep him away from the bong for a few months, we don’t need another ARob situation here, although that seems unlikely. AIHRBG never does in two guys the same way. What I respect about AIRBHG is his creativity. He is always throwing us a curve ball. Garmon’s arm flopping around like a wind sock was a nice touch.
I think a sign of life is a sign of life, and I’ll take whatever I can get. For the previous two weeks, JVB showed as much life as that bear he mounted. I guess when the coaching staff decided they would rather hand off to a walk-on fullback 20 time, while the other RBs sat in agony on the bench, than put the game in his hands, he got the message. I have one piece of unsolicited and uneducated advice for you James: Stop unleashing the dragon. You have a great arm, and we all believe it. Everyone knows, so you don’t have to throw the ball as hard as you can all the time, especially when your passing offense goes only 3 yards past the line of scrimmage 90% of the time.
Football is not a carnival game; you don’t get a teddy bear if you knock someone over with the ball.
Last week, despite the fact we lost, I was optimistic regarding the Big 10 season. I had the consolation that although we looked bad, the rest of the conference looked worse. This week, I am not so optimistic, because instead of losing a bunch of games, our conference foes are now barely winning a bunch of games. If the rest of the Big 10 has a pulse, that does not bode well for a team that has more injured running backs than Arcade Fire has singers.
Doesn’t the fact that Iowa in particular, and the Big 10 in general, are completely irrelevant, make this college football season kind of boring? I mean, it’s still a party, and it’s still fun, and we still get drunk…but to what end? What are we doing? Isn’t football kind of a pointless game if you really think about it?
Kurt better turn this stuff around, and quick, because I am swimming into a philosophical deep end here, and I don’t know how long I can tread water.
Thanks for reading. I love you all very much.
