I have two rules I don't break. One of them is to never pick the Huskers to win.
Is it me or is this board more active...

7 or 8 wins in a 13 game season means 5 or 6 losses, as he said.

I should cheer for a wisc loss, but I simply cannot, not against nebby, I hope they crush them.

I doubt there is anyone on this board that hates Nebraska more then I - I just think all the ingredients are there for the upset. Night game, NU big dogs and Wisconsin IMO hasn't played a team with a pulse yet.

All I hear is BF and KF are the problem. How about putting some blame on this new OL guru. All I heard in the spring what a great hire that was. Well so far he sucks and will never win the Joe schmooo award. This line is awful! How about a new thread about canning this guy? Oh yeah I forgot.......it's all about the terrible OC and his stupid play calling.

I thought you only watched women's basketball with @ClintonIAfan . Am I missing something here?
As far as Polasek you're wrong.
6 guys trying to block 8 all game long doesn't work too well. You know why they're constantly outnumbered? Because the only play we run is sending a 180 lb running back up the gut, and right now our QB couldn't hit Andre the Giant if he was standing still. Teams see that and guess what...they load the middle. Ike Boettger going down was also one of the worst things that could have happened at the worst possible time. So if you still think Polasek sucks you're going to have to break it down for us because I don't see it. I could be wrong, but you need to back up what you're saying.

Neither has Nebraska but they lost to two teams without pulses. Go Badgers.

F that. I hate Nebraska but if Wisci's reign is gonna end so you and everyone else can stop gushing about them, they need to lose on Saturday.

Not that I agree with you, cuz I don't, but Polasek has never coached OL before just like Brian has never been an OC before. You know what Polasek was? He was an OC for a championship caliber team. You know what Brian was? Supposedly, he was a pretty decent OL coach. See anything wrong with this picture?

The West is already the JV squad of the B1G, we don't need more teams sucking.
To quote the immortal Ric Flair,
"If you wanna be the man you gotta beat the man."

Stop - Do you really think that way? The B1G is considered the best football conference in the country this year - the conference has 4 teams in the top 10 including one from the West. Your ideals are dated bro. Iowa will have to beat the man... IE Wisconsin to win the West. So, no argument there, but it's going to need some help too. Iowa has played maybe the toughest 2 games of any team so far in the West with PSU and a roadie at MSU. But there's still 3/4 of the season to go. While, it's unlikely that Iowa will have shot, for it to have ANY kind of chance - Wisci has to stub it's toe and by the looks of their schedule, this Saturday in Lincoln looks to be one of the better opportunities for that to happen.
Iowa fans need Wisci to lose... PERIOD

He's been "unavailable for football" for even longer than the O has been boring and predictable.

Yes, the perfect KF defender.
Woohoo! If the rest of the division is bad enough, the Hawks might have a shot! What a "great program"!

Who cares how Iowa can win the West, just win it? There is NO way these guys are Iowa fans.

My fifth grader plays in a youth football league and this past Saturday was the first week of their playoffs. The team they had to play was from a really small town and was a roughly equal mix of 4th and 5th graders. To try and make up for the difference the league director said we couldn't pass or run reverses/trick plays etc. Our team obviously won big (not because we're overly talented, but because it was a ridiculous mismatch), and it ended up 48-0. Anyway, one of our kid's dads started going crazy with the woo hoos afterwards, and all kinds of junk about how the other team never scored, and how awesome of a win it was. Against a bunch of 4th graders who never had a prayer in the first place. And a few of our players kept talking about how they hoped we got matched up with another crappy team next week. That's what you kind of remind me of. I get it coming from a ten year old but have some pride in yourself man.
You strike me as the type of guy who would celebrate beating Richard Simmons in a cage match because a win is a win, and it all looks the same on paper, right?
All wins are not the same.
Winning the West PALES in comparison to winning the East and I don't care what you say, they are not the same thing. Not even the same area code. I'd much rather be 2nd in the East than win the West because it would mean we'd have to play three ridiculously good teams every year and actually win meaningful games every year. I am in no way a Wisconsin fan like you say, but they are the only perennial talent whatsoever in our league. It's laughable.
Think about this for a minute. By default, Indiana, Rutgers, and Maryland have a tougher schedule than us every single year no matter what. Something's wrong with the parity of the league (or lack thereof) when that's the case. And you can't go arguing that Penn State, Michigan, MSU and OSU have it easy because they all play each other too.
False. I wish like hell we would be conference champs once in a while and in the mix for it every year. But I know we aren't, probably won't be, and I don't get super mad about it. That doesn't mean I'm not a fan.
If being a fan means I have to hallucinate about the abilities of my favorite team like a Nebraskan, then no. I'm not that.

Good lord what are you going on about? Now you want to fault Iowa because they are in the West like they have any control over that fact? And even if Iowa wins it, it doesn't matter because it's not as good as the East? You live in Rainbow Brite Land dude. I never once said that all wins are the same. I never once said that the East and West are equal. I think winning the East is MUCH more difficult then the West. How is that Iowa's fault? Should we just stop playing football all together and not try because even if they win it won't matter because FryIowa thinks it's a JV league?
and serious question
Do you read what others offer, or just type non stop drivel? I am trying to be civil with you because I honestly think you are a good dude and probably a great Hawkeye fan, but this stuff is kind of clueless...and honestly, just quit the internet.
You would rather be 2nd in the east then win the West might be the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. Why? Because it's not possible. Iowa is in the West. You know that Iowa has finished in the West the last 2 seasons? 1st and 2nd? How is that not in the mix?
Work on forming complete thoughts and get back to me. I hate being this way to you, I tried to turn over a new leaf, but damn if I can just let you roll on this stuff.

I never faulted Iowa. I faulted the way the division is split up. You must have gotten too mad at me to read everything. You're happy (and I'd even say thrilled) with mediocrity and 7-6 and I'm not. That's all this whole thing boils down to and neither of us are going to change each other's mind. I think we should have better results for the size of the budget, facilities, and other resources we have, and you're ok with the results. If you don't like my opinion, as stupid as you think it is, I can't help it.
And don't confuse me wanting changes with me thinking they're going to happen. I know they won't happen, and it pisses you off when I make generalized statements like that. You're gonna have to ignore it I guess.
Jesus. Drama much?
Yes.
That's a matter of opinion, won't break my heart if you think so.
You can do better than that. You're starting to sound like Joshbrown.
That's the 3rd time you've said something I posted was the dumbest thing you've read on this site. I bet I can find some dumber stuff not written by me.
I'll get right on that. Thanks for the guidance.
You really are quite the drama queen when you get mad. I know you want me to quit the internet but you should probably grow thicker skin and not get so upset. Read the last 6 of your quotes in this post and tell me who the "driveler" is. If that's your new leaf I bet the old leaf was real fun at parties too.

Search under my name... I've been so accused. Hell, it's probably true.
