Howe column: Beast of the Big Ten West Takes Out Hawkeyes Again

I say keep him around. He hasn't been that out of line, or at least I haven't seen it, and he wears his true colors. He mostly gets owned anyway. It's the one's in disguise that are questionable, like that guy talking about the champion DNA crap.
Yes, he does get owned easily. He claimed, and doubled down, that it was justifiable for Bret to run up scores but not Hayden. And he dug himself a deep hole with the Shoe Box stuff. And tried to defend why he disappeared after BYU.

Let’s take a vote? Who wants UB gone?

I’m just not sure. Was pretty sackless last week after the BYU loss but shows up this week to run his mouth. Maybe you like the banter and patronizing? What say you?
LOL, Rob! I didn't start running my mouth until some of you started running your mouths, and I didn't say anything that wasn't accurate.


BTW, what reason would I have to show up after the BYU game anyway? I posted whyI shouldn't have. Do you have a problem?

I don't agree with running up scores but I don't know how you prevent it when you are using your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th teams. You are NOT going to tell them to just show up. They are going to play their hearts out. Time to blame it on the other team that has given up. HEY! Everyone on the Badger board knows how little I think of Biff! I have NO REASON to stand up for him.

As for the Shoe Box stuff! I guarantee you I know a hell of a lot more about it than you ever will. Sorry, Northside. You need to talk about THINGS YOU REALLY KNOW. Was your brother an ex-UW football coach with contacts at the time? BTW it was almost 20 years ago and has nothing to do with football in 2018.

Rob, are you familiar with The Outsiders?

Unknown Badger reminds me of Cherry Valance, the troublemaking, Corvette driving , drama queen Soc who is always trying to show faux empathy towards the plight of the greasers while secretly trumpeting her Societal superiority when Ponyboy and Johnny need her help the most. Thats UB in a nutshell. Most of us have a neighbor or two like that, or definitely some parent at out kids school who is like that. You know unknown doesn't give a hill of beans over the fact that we can't beat Wisconsin, nor should he. He just like to come over here in that avuncular way of his, but will keep most of his contempt and venom under the surface. His refusal to post after the BYUloss, and his explanation why, both speak volumes towards his true colors. And once again, thats fine. Just don't expect inteligent posters to bite hook line and sinker to what he is trying to dangle.
LOL! What's wrong, Northside? That I'm objective about BOTH teams? And you don't want to hear it about one (although of your own Hawkeye fans might say the same)?

Rob, I changed my mind... Give him the axe, jk
 
ree, for a number of reasons, I guess, going back to when Iowa, Wisconsin, and the Goofs back in the late 50's and early 60's WERE the teams to beat, I've had a great appreciation for Iowa because I liked Evechevski's (?) style. Even when Fry rubbed our noses into the ground. I hated it but wanted our team to be able to at least compete against it. Of late, in the last 20 years, its been that I respect the program because it has similar obstacles as Wisconsin when it comes to recruiting and a similar style of play. Some on the Badger boards hate my like of the Hawkeye program. Tough! If it isn't us I will always hope that it's you! It's been like that for a while and I hope it continues.

OK, then when Hayden was still throwing down field when up 30, 40, 50 points (which I saw him do first hand) I'll rationalize it by saying the other team simply gave up.

I don't condone throwing down field when way ahead. It just drags out the game. For the final time Hayden and Bret were BOTH guilty as charged, even if they did it different ways. And neither were very respectful when they did it.

Onward with your season. I'm looking forward to your matchup with Michigan. And you may see them again in Indy in December. Any word on your center Tyler Biadasz? Will he be back after the bye week? Solid, aggressive player.

I don't believe you read that I posted anything negative other than he(Fry) had his games that EVERYBODY knows. If you are talking about a backup QB throwing a 40 yard TD against the Goofs when he was running for his life, OK! But Bret didn't call it.


I believe Biadasz will be fine after the bye week, but our walk-on did a good back-up job.

That was Northwestern, 1983. Tom Grogan threw an 86- yard TD to Robert Smith in a game Iowa would eventually win 61-21.

They beat Minnesota 61-10 that same year. Rumor has it that doomed Gopher coach Joe Salem slipped out sometime during the game. He had a ride waiting.

What are you going to tell me next? That Jerry Petitgoue is a bad high school basketball coach?

MY god, I'm not talking about anything back in 1983. I'm talking about Wisconsin backup QB Jon Budmayr against the Goofs around 2010 or 11. Who the hell is Jerry Petitigoue.
 
Sorry, my fault, wrong example. But you need to brush up on your own Wisconsin sports history if you don't know who Jerry is, which proves the point I'm trying to make, and maybe Rob's too

Why? It was almost 40 years ago about a team I didn't watch all that close when I was in SC. C'mon Northside! Did you follow Freddie Brown or Johnnie Johnson other than what you've heard?
