Nice stat to shut up the haters

[reamkore]

the Hawkeyes also have three double-digit victories over teams in the current BCS standings, and two of those came on the road (at No. 13 Penn State, at No. 21 Wisconsin, vs. No. 22 Arizona). The only other team in the BCS top 25 with even two double-digit victories over the others is Alabama (No. 14 Virginia Tech, No. 24 South Carolina).

We have 3 top 25 wins, and 4 top 50 wins this season. Only team close to that is... yet again Alabama with 1 top 25 win and 5 top 50 wins.

Note: we are ranked #1 in the Colley rankings, which is one of the computer rankings used for BCS calculations.

An other nice stat to give them is--When we have played on the road, NO team has scored on the Hawkeyes in the 2nd half.

Another stat would be that we've won 11 games in a row. Wait, we play in the big ten so that doesn't count

You know, I'm thinking about calling the Rome show tomorrow if I can't go to work due to rain. (One of my three jobs is an auto dealership website photographer, and I can't work when it rains.) I'll have to use those points, and add that of the 11 consecutive wins, one is against an SEC team, one is against a Big XII team, and one is against a Pac-10 team.

 

[croquet037]

Good luck VanMan...I'm sure Rome will find some ******* way to try and slam you.

 

[glacierhawk]

Just happened to notice that the Colley rankings site lists UNI's record as 3-4. Do the computers have some sort of formula to decide what a FCS school's record would be in the FBS when doing the rankings or is this a pretty obvious mistake?

You'll never get through.... Romie hates Kirk!

Never know. If I don't get through to Rome, I'll try Myers and Hartman. I might also try Dan Patrick, too.

 

[LivermoreHawk]

What do you plan to accomplish? Let the team do the talking for us.

 

[deanvogs]

They are professionals on those shows. If you think you can get an argument by them that they don't agree with, you are naive. They have screeners that tell them what you are going to say, and they will be ready if they don't agree with you. I can't see Patrick doing that to you, but Rome would in a second and probably make you look silly.

Just lie to the screener.

 

[VanMan1]

I'm on hold right now on the Rome show. I tried to get on the Herd and couldn't get past busy signals. J-Stew (or is it Brandt) just took the synopsis of my call and put me on hold.

What's your name Van? I'll listen to see if they put you through!

 

[VanMan1]

Eric in Cedar Falls, but I also gave J-Stew (or Brandt) my handle.

Listening to the stream now...

It is fruitless, these guys will never admit a point...it is their persona's ...never concede anything.

The whole point in smack-talk radio hosting is to make a snap judgment, giving the impression that you're well-informed enough to come to a decision about anything in mere seconds. Then don't back down from that position, ever. If it's obvious that you're wrong, quickly change the subject to one where you guessed correctly and ridicule others for being wrong about that.

 

[hawkfan2679]

Listening to the stream now...

...and hating every minute of it. Is this guy the king of dead air? Or beating a dead horse? How long can we take a quote about LeBron wanting to dunk on George W and beat the ever-loving hell out of it? I swear he just filled an entire 10-14 minute segment doing that.

Are you still holding VanMan?

My phone cut me off about five minutes ago. i wireless has a two-hour limit for a continuous call. It happens quite a bit when I was on the phone with my girlfriend.
