Well howard says the glass is half full with this team. Half full is just another way of saying sink or swim. No life jacket, left behind by the dive boat. How long and how hard are you willing to fight to keep your head above water? (even i always think that when i see The Perfect Storm). Those buckeyes are going to try and hold your head under.
Win this and you have already surpassed last year. Win this and you show the shoe and urnan you do deserve to to be on that field. Win this and necome worthy of the little attention you are hetting. Finally win this and shut up the nay sayers on hn and watch the crowds that show up.
Btw i hate posting from a phone.

win this and all the focus will be on OSU losing, Iowa will be merely players.

i dont think so. Nu is in a bind and needs the next few. They already have a stiffy for us. Win this and you are saying we are here to play. Everyone is going to pencil in when they play us. Get thru that and then you will define the season. Battle tested.

I'an with Old Dude! I have been ridin on the roller coaster of Hawkeye fandum since I was in my early teens & now in my 50's! I trully love my Hawks and cant wait for football Saturdays & Iowa Basketball. Didn"t attend the U of I but the Hawks are dear to my heart. Call me a "Tavern Hawk" if you will, I really don't mind! If Old Dude wants to be the conductor of the Hawkeye train I'd be damn proud to shovel the coal to keep the train rollin! GO HAWKS! KICK SOME BUCKEYE TAIL AT THE SHOE!!!

why thanyou. A fan is a fan and where they went to school has no bearing on that. My mom had a firm belief system, and she passed that unto me. We believe in the old saying that weather you think you can or cant, your right. Now i may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but i know belief, is a very powerful thing. Some contend there is a computer that can predict the future from peoples thoughts (or beliefs). I think it is that belief that makes the future. Believe in yourselves, believe in your mates and know your parents, coaches and the fans believe in you. That is enough belief to beat the osu. You did not make it this far without knowing most of what i said. So i leave you with this, nobody ever hit one out of the park on a bunt. If your going to swing, swing for the homerun.

So, in other words ...
To hell with rational thought and strategic planning. That useless approach only leads to paralysis by analysis. Stoke the adrenals and balls to the wall, all in, do or die, go for broke without regard and with reckless abandon. Anything short is failure. It's only about the wanton effort; success is desired but irrelevant because if you fail, at least you did so in a fiery blaze.

Sure!

o-dude, you've been blurring your phophecies with your fantasies and both suffer serious disconnect with reality. I do find it slightly entertaining, though -- in a "JackA$$" sort of way.
 




Well ofcourse you have to have a cognitive plan. I always say, plan your work and work your plan. But yes you have to go all in as well. That is what makes team sports so much harder than say tennis, everyone has to go all in. Yes balls to the wall man. You know they planned storming the beaches of Normandy, but it was the all in balls to the wall attitude that made it happen.
 


Old Dude. Regardless of content...your posts are difficult to read, again, not the content, the way it's written.

may I suggest this format: basically bullet points...

- try to make a point
- try to make a point
- a little old dude gibberish
- something that makes people laugh
- and a reference to you being old
 


I understand that. Not only does my phone think it needs to auto correct it adds words. I find that to be very annoying. That coupled with a few beers makes communication Not so easy a cave man could do it. Thus my thoughts on how to convey a message get a little out of whack. It is kind of like having many words in your vocabulary suddenly gone AND someone with turrets adding words to your sentences whenever they feel like it
 


If there is water getting in the boat, use a bucket to clear it out. Kirk and the boys are breaking the rock, although the rock may make the boat sink even more. I think we'll hydroplane into the shoe and set the world on fire with an amazing water fountain laser light show (set to Dark Side of the Moon). Powell is faster on skates than he is on turf, and Carl Davis is a heck of a swimmer. Rudock will hold Urban underwater till he chokes, and the buckeye defenders will choke on Weisman's cleat as he jams it down their throat.

Hawks 27
osu 23
 


Glossophobia. Lack of communication skills. Maybe a little punch drunk. Maybe a little real drunk. Stupid phone that makes me want to throw it. Thanks for putting up with me.
