Missouri gets Insight Bowl

[mnchiefsguy]

Did not see anything posted on the first two pages, but Missouri is going to the Insight Bowl. According to Channel 9 tonight, the Insight passed on Nebraska and chose Missouri instead. I noticed Nebraska is playing the Holiday Bowl vs. Washington, while Mizzou gets Iowa in the Insight Bowl. Should be a good game....what do yall think? Did we screw Nebraska and get a better bowl game?

Did we screw Nebraska and get a better bowl game?Tough to say. I like that we're playing Iowa. Should be a good game. Not really a rivalry, but maybe some bragging rights for whoever wins.

Neither bowl is exactly prestigious, so I wouldn't say we screwed anyone. We're ranked higher and had the same record as Nebraska (going into the Big 12 Championship). They beat us handily though, so there is no doubt who the better team is.

Pairing Nebraska and Iowa might have made for an interesting prequel to the new Big 10.

Record doesn't show it, but I'm a little scared of Iowa. 5 losses, but by a total of something like 18 points.

[LiveSteam]

meh Husker fans don't really care. & i dont think the Insight Bowl had much of a choice. The other alternative would have been Iowa VS another Big10 team. All we care about now is Shaun Watson moving on down the road.
Tigers will beat Iowa like a cheap drum

Iowa beat the living piss out of Mich St. They lost to Wisconsin by being to lazy to safe punt cover and was beating Ohio State the entire game until the fourth qtr. All three of those teams are in the top ten. With that said Iowa sucks at defending spread offenses, I would much rather Iowa face Nebraska

[|Zach|]

meh Husker fans don't really care.

Yes.

That sounds like Husker fans.

[Zaiko]

Iowa has several losses this season, but don't doubt that they're a real good football team.

They could've easily had a top 10 year if not for a couple fuckups.

If not for a couple hundred fumbles. Whats your point ?

I'm saying they shouldn't be overlooked just because they have 5 losses or aren't ranked. They lost those 5 games by a combined 18 points and murdered Michigan State.

The talent is definitely there, they just couldn't come through in a couple key games.

I do hope Missouri kicks the hell out of Iowa. I get so sick of Iowa fan calling Omaha sport's radio

This whole Bowl selection shit (mostly) is ass backwards.

Nebraska beats MU earlier in the year...not only beats them but clobbers them, not even making it close to what anyone would call a game. They're ranked higher than MU coming into this last weekend when they played in the Big12 champ game against OU (since they won the North division). Nebraska fans will have no problem selling tickets regardless of what venue they go to, they travel better than 99% of the college football fanbase.

But they get a better bowl than MU? - Doesn't make sense to me. I hate Nebraska football but this whole selection process is pretty ****ed up if you ask me.

And speaking of MU...They kill TXAM down in their house.....finish with a better record and are ranked higher in every poll, but TXAM gets the Cotton Bowl? Didn't MU sell out (their portion) the Cotton Bowl just a few seasons ago? And it's in Dallas....the venue isn't (too) far away from the fanbase region, about a day's worth of driving.


There DESPERATELY needs to be some post-season reform in college football. Here's what I would do:

FIRST - All conferences MUST have a conference championship game. I think it's stupid that some do have an extra game, and some don't. Doesn't make any sense to me. Either all conferences have one at the end, or everyone does away with it and there isn't one. Since the NCAA loves their money and TV ratings, I figured in my proposal that I'd make every conference have a conf champ game, and yes it would effect BCS rankings like it does now, so if you **** up in the conf champ game, it could cost ya.

BCS PLAYOFF SYSTEM
- TOP 8 BCS ranked teams
1 vs 8
2 vs 7
3 vs 6
4 vs 5

- Each of the 4 above games would play at the 4 main bowl sites...Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Sugar Bowl. The matchups would rotate so each venue would have a different seeding matchup every year (so that one bowl site wouldn't always get the #1 seed team...and so on).
EXAMPLE:
2011 2012 2013 2014
1 vs 8 ROSE ORANGE FIESTA SUGAR
2 vs 7 ORANGE FIESTA SUGAR ROSE
3 vs 6 FIESTA SUGAR ROSE ORANGE
4 vs 5 SUGAR ROSE ORANGE FIESTA

There would be a "Final 4". Like in Men's college hoops, the final four round and National Title game would all be at the same site and would rotate venues kinda like the Super Bowl does.

***BCS ranked teams #9-10 would ALWAYS play in the Cotton Bowl***

Then I think also the requirements to qualify for a Bowl game needs to be reformed as well. I think 6 games is not enough....most teams schedule 3-4 bullshit teams in their non-conference schedule and then only need to win 2-3 conference games to become "bowl eligible" What kind of ****ing bullshit is that? I think the requirement needs to be that you must have an overall winning record (which is usually 7+ Wins in a 12-game schedule) AND a conference record of at least .500 winning%. If you don't have BOTH of those requirements, guess what you're ****ed and are not bowl eligible. Independents like Notre Dame, Army, Navy would just have to go by their overall record which would have to also be +.500 winning%.

***If this was the case, these rules would make the "current" bowl eligible teams, not eligible***
BYU
UTEP
Louisville
Florida International
Georgia Tech
East Carolina
Illinois
K-State
South Florida
Clemson
Northwestern
Texas Tech
Georgia
Washington (wtf? - NEB gonna play a 6-win team in a bowl game this year?)
Kentucky (2-6 in conf, that's bullshit)
Middle Tennessee
Michigan
(There could be more, I just went through the bowl listings...may have forgotten a team or 2, it's late and I'm tired....you get the idea).

The Insight bowl didn't want 2 Big 10 teams.

Why should NU fans be excited to face a shitty Washington team (again) in the scrub bowl? Husker fans have cared too much this year about this underachieving team... if fans finally don't give a shit, then good for them.

Over $1MM more in payout...nice.

[POND_OF_RED]

I simply can't wait for this game. My dad's a big Hawkeyes fan so we always like to give each other shit about who has the better team. It's gonna be nice to actually get to watch them settle the argument on the field. Unless of course we lose, in which case it will suck tremendously.

Fucking Insight Bowl. Very dissapointing.

Missouri should have NO Problem with this years Iowa football team.
Iowa struggles mightly with Missouri's style of offense. Iowa should be on a 4 game losing streak going into this bowl game. Iowa's not gotten the senior leadership Iowa fans expected. Iowa's been a HUGE disapointment.

Missouri should win by double digits.

[Pitt Gorilla]

****ing Insight Bowl. Very dissapointing.The Insight was a best case scenario. MU fans don't have too much room to complain.

[Mr. Kotter]

Should be a good game.

Hopefully, Iowa can play the way most expected they would when the year began. :)

[kepp]

I *think* he's an Iowa fan. In which case, at 7-5, they have even less of a reason to be upset.

Exactly...I can't believe Iowa fans will travel that well for this bowl game.

I would have gone to the Rose Bowl, but this one is of NO value to me. Not the way they folded down the stretch.

[tymania]

Iowa always travels well no matter what bowl game they are in.
This is not the bowl game i envisioned them getting at the beginning of the season, but i will take it with a 7-5 record. Still think Iowa should have got the Outback bowl instead of Penn St, but it is what is is.
Mizzou fans be prepared to see Stanzi to DJK ALL DAY LONG. Stanzi will not end his Iowa career on a L. Mizzou is a very respectable opponent, but i would have rather played Nebraska. I will be looking forward to this game, should be a good one.

[Bambi]

College football is more novelty than sport.

Keeler: Insight Bowl officials miss opportunity
Updated 11:02 pm

December 5, 2010

It was so close, you could already smell the hate. The hate, the corn and the bratwursts, all sizzling on a sun-kissed grill. Iowa versus Nebraska in the Insight Bowl. And why the heck not?




Two Midwestern giants. Two massive fan bases that are mirror images of the other — fervent and loyal travelers, loud and proud partiers. They wouldn’t have been able to print tickets fast enough. The Blackshirts on one side, The Swarm on the other? Greater Phoenix would’ve run out of beer. To any bean-counter worth his or her salt, Iowa-Nebraska sounded like pure gold.

So on Sunday night, when the curtain finally came up, the men in the pastel blazers gave you Iowa and — Missouri.

“It was a really, really difficult decision for our selection committee,” Insight Bowl spokesman Andy Bagnato explained after the Hawkeyes-Tigers game was announced. “ “In this case, we selected the highest-rated available team to us, which was Missouri. We’ve never had a Bowl Championship Series-eligible team in the Insight Bowl.”

The Tigers are ranked No. 12 in the BCS standings. The Cornhuskers are 18th. Feel free to scream at anytime.

“For us, the difference between No. 12 and (18) was significant,” Bagnato continued. “And that didn’t make it any easier, but that was a big part of that decision.”
Kind of apropos, isn’t it? A season that felt like one giant letdown gets a bowl game that sits like one, too.

For their troubles, Nebraska (10-3) wound up with a berth in the Holiday Bowl. Which sounds like a great idea, until you see that it means a rematch with Washington (6-6), which it’s already played this season — and already beaten by 35 points.

Let the conspiracy theories begin. Why would the Fiesta/Insight folks, with the Hawkeyes already in hand, pass on the Cornhuskers? When you have a chance to fill Sun Devil Stadium with two of the best-traveling fan bases in college football, logic says you take it. Right?

Unless some other forces other than capitalism were in play here. Did Big 12 officials fear that a Hawkeye-Husker game would be nothing more than a Big Ten infomercial? Was it a designed, farewell kick in the pants to the Big Red as they walk out the door for the last time as member? Was it Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe’s final act of revenge?

“Bowls are ultimately responsible for their own match-ups,” Bagnato countered, “not the conferences or the schools.”

Fine, but this still reeks of an opportunity missed. Despite a late kickoff (9 p.m. Midwest time on a Tuesday night), everyone with a pulse would’ve been tuned in to catch at least a part of Iowa-Nebraska. On the sexy scale, it would’ve been a 9 out of 10. Iowa-Missouri, while promising plenty of fireworks, rates about a 5.6.

Despite a mere 4-hour drive that separates the two campuses, this is the first time the programs have met on a football field since 1910. Once fierce rivals, they rarely run in the same circles. Especially after 2005, when the Tigers pulled out of a multi-game football contract with the Hawkeyes — “intelligent scheduling,” Tigers coach Gary Pinkel called it — that left then-athletic director Bob Bowlsby scrambling for non-conference replacements.

They can’t duck this one. You just wonder if disgruntled Iowa fans will.

You'd think Iowa was 10-2 by the way they're complaining.

[Saul Good]

Why would you take the number 12 team when you could have the number 18 team? Conspiracy!

[Jenson71]

Iowa has several losses this season, but don't doubt that they're a real good football team.

They could've easily had a top 10 year if not for a couple ****ups.

They underachieved all season. Quite a disappointing team.

[vailpass]

You'd think Iowa was 10-2 by the way they're complaining.

We know we are 7-5, we just don't like it.
After going 11-2 last year and finishing #7 with an Orange Bowl win expectations for this year's team were higher than 7-5. We came into the year fielding what many of us thought was one of our better teams in years and we couldn't close the deal on winnable games.
I guess that does sound a little bitter now that I read it. Can't help it.

[Saul Good]

When the stadium is half empty you'll see why.

So it's your position that bowl games should be based evev MORE on ticket sales and LESS about performance than they already are? That sounds about right.

Bowl tie ins suck.
They should go back to the system they had in the 70's and 80's.

They don't want a playoff because Missouri might not travel as well to Tempe, AZ for the Insight Bowl as Nebraska? You're on a roll.

Saul, They don't want a playoff because they make a huge amount on BCS games and the other bowl games. I know this is hard for you to understand but if they went to a playoff system they would lose the other bowl games.

[Saul Good]

I know this is hard for you to understand but if they went to a playoff system they would lose the other bowl games.

That is hard for me to understand. Why don't you explain why the other bowl games would cease to exist if the current BCS bowls were converted to a playoff format.

While you're at it, you can explain what that has to do with how well Mizzou travels to Tempe.

The Hawkeyes are going to F every girl at Mizzou.

[Graystoke]

Hard to believe that this is the 1st meeting in 100 years?
Iowa sure collapsed. They played like they didn't even want to play football the last 3 games. I wish they would not even have gotten a bowl to be honest.
This coming from a die hard Hawk Fan.

[kepp]

That's fine, our team will be at the game.

[Graystoke]

The Hawkeyes are going to F every girl at Mizzou.

At least then they would have an excuse for not winning.
Weak knees and de-hydrated.

[Iowanian]

This team has definitely been a disappointment. The defense really dropped off from dominating to average as the season progressed. They've got a very very talented Dline that seemed to start getting worn out. Pre-season, the RB depth was looking phenomenal, and by the time the leaves turned, the Hawks were trotting out 4-5th stringers and freshmen.

That said, Stanzi is pretty much Matt Cassel, the o-line is decent and the WRs are very good. If the Defense can use the next month to solve the spread....

I really like this pairing and have wanted the Hawks to play Mizzou for the last few years...IT should be a natural rivalry and non-conf game imo.

Good luck, but I hope the Hawks beat the Tiggers so bad that fraz prolapses.

If they have a playoff they'll do away with a lot of the bowls because they will be even more insignificant sorta like your life. The less significant the less amount of money spent. And you wonder why you are unemployed Saul?

What does a playoff have to do with the non BCS bowls? The answer is nothing.

Last week, I lived in Illinois working a minimum wage job. Now, I'm unemployed? This imaginary life you're creating for me kind of sucks.

Too bad he didn't have a month to prepare for Minnesota, Arizona, Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Ohio State. In case you are wondering, Pinkel is 7-0 against the Big 10 since he's been at Mizzou.

[Saul Good]

It's not even fun. There is nothing you can say to him that is any worse than the picture of him that we've all seen. I mean, I pretty much imagine everyone on the internet as a little doughy guy flexing while wearing a sleeveless jersey, anyway. Having a picture to prove it just takes some of the sport out of it.

NE gets to play IA next year. This is all a tease.


I, for one, think that NE should be playing IA, this month. NE got rooked.

It's not even fun. There is nothing you can say to him that is any worse than the picture of him that we've all seen. I mean, I pretty much imagine everyone on the internet as a little doughy guy flexing while wearing a sleeveless jersey, anyway. Having a picture to prove it just takes some of the sport out of it.

For the Hawk fans...

Phoenix Iowa Club Hawkeyes,

As you all know, the Iowa Hawkeyes are coming down to the Valley of the Sun later this month for the Insight Bowl. They will play the 10-2 Missouri Tigers, out of the Big Twelve conference. It is extremely important to show our support and get to the game so the University of Iowa can continue to have the reputation of having some of the best fans in the nation! We want to sell the stadium out so all bowl committees will take notice for future years. I wanted to share everything that I know so far and I will continue to send out emails, post info on the facebook page, and on our website, www.PhoenixIowaClub.com.

Bowl Tickets

If you’re interested in going to the game, I would suggest getting your tickets through the University of Iowa. They still have a good amount of tickets left and this year you can choose between 3 different prices. Lower level sections= $64, Upper Level (low)=$37, Upper Level (high)= $22. You can find out all the information and order tickets at Insight Bowl Tickets

Hotel Group Rates

A couple hotels have contacted me about offering a group rate for Hawkeye fans. If you have friends or family coming to town and need to find a hotel, here are a couple places to check out:

4 star:

Sheraton Crescent Phoenix
2620 West Dunlap Avenue
Phoenix, AZ 85021
(602) 943-8200

4 star hotel for a great rate, the Phoenix Sheraton Crescent will do a group rate for Hawkeye fans. $79 (normally $119) plus continental breakfast, as well as free shuttles to the light rail. The light rail can then be taken straight to the stadium/ASU campus area. The hotel is right off the I-17 about 10 minutes north of Sky-Harbor Airport. Just call and say you want the Iowa Hawkeye group rate.

Hawkeye Huddle & Game Day Tailgate
The Hawkeye Huddle and Game Day tailgate information should be available in the next couple days and we will make sure to email it out to everyone, as well as blast it on our website and our facebook page.

I'm not a huge Stanzi fan....but in all fairness, he has pulled out quite a few last drive wins in his career, including some on 4th and goal and made the play.

Missouri has been doomed since the NCAA stopped allowing Hukt on Fonix to count as the academically acceptable "English Composition" courses for their athletic teams.

Well, with that kind of effort on smack talk, no wonder the Hawkeyes went 7-5.

C'mon, Iowanian. You drool out better smack than that in your sleep; we all know it. Stop underachieving.

Spoken like a man who obviously has NO CLUE of how Stanzi has performed in his bowl games at crunch time.

You may want to research that..you know, before you make another ignorant statement like that.

[Reaper16]

Seriously, this guy is your QB:

“I don’t know how other colleges are, but when you walk around here, you’ve got people . . . you’ve got guys walking around in dresses and just these hippies,” Stanzi said. “They’re doing nothing. There’s the Ped Mall area down there, right in the middle. Those people are going nowhere. Those people are the people who don’t like America.”

Embarrassing. Iowa City rules; Stanzi doesn't.

[CaliforniaChief]

I'm looking forward to it. I'm interested to see if Iowa finds motivation to salvage a disastrous season. I also think, as BWillie said, that Mizzou's up-tempo spread offense presents a big challenge for a team that seems to get fatigued in the 4th quarter.

Stanzi willed that Indiana WR to drop the game winning pass that was in his bread-basket. It was clutch. Otherwise, they would be 6-6 and in a worse bowl like Nebraska.

[KCinNY]

Jeez...never been to a college town before?

[BossChief]

My bad. /Wisconsin in your house. I mean our house.

you mean the game that the coaches made at least 3 mental errors to lose the game...including telling Stanzi to call a timeout when he was doing the correct thing by rushing the team to the line to clock the ball to save the timeout?

On that last pass to the running back, if the back goes out of bounds we are in position for a 50 yard FG or so...but what does he do? Turn his hips upfield as soon as he gets the ball and tries to get extra yards.

Kid sint perfect, he has warts, but to act like his clutch performance is a reason to be comfortable playing against him is laughable.

Again, look up how he has played in crunch time in his bowl games.

Long touchdown passes with less than a minute to win bowl games is what he has done in more than one...when his team was losing and he needed to make a play to win, he did it.

[BossChief]

Stanzi willed that Indiana WR to drop the game winning pass that was in his bread-basket. It was clutch. Otherwise, they would be 6-6 and in a worse bowl like Nebraska.I didnt watch that game, so I dont want to comment on it. What the court counselors have suggested to make the transition of getting custody of my son is VERY costly and that has meant that I have had to sacrifice a lot. One of those things is my Saturdays. From what friends of mine have said, I didnt miss anything and I should be glad I have been working at those times.

My statement was more about NU haters in general, so my bad.

And I'll make assumptions wherever I please, thank you very much.

[Spott]

I think the Insight bowl not wanting 2 Big Ten teams gave them a good excuse to make up for not inviting Mizzou last year. They sure as heck weren't worried about who the better team was last year when they invited a 6-6 Iowa St team to Tempe.

Bowls = about money.


Nebraska fans travel better than Mizzou fans.


More people = more revenue.


There ya go caveman.

I think it's easier to draw support when you're the only game in well, the entire fucking so-called state.

I mean, it's not like Des Moines is a threat to win the Super Bowl, or Omaha will challenge for the Stanley Cup.

thanks man...absolutely. I have even missed two Chiefs games this year (Live anyway, I watched them as soon as I got back. HDDVRs are real nice)

But, yeah...Iowas front four is ggonna be in full on GOD MODE and take that game over and Stanzi may not even have to do very much.

[Frazod]

We're paying the price for decades of shitty Missouri football. While we were getting pulverized regular as clockwork against all the good schools, Nebraska built up a name for itself, and that's what's stuck. 100 million morons who couldn't find Nebraska on a map, and have never and will never set foot inside its borders, associate Nebraska with football, even though they haven't been relevant for 15 years. That's why they got the Big 10 nod over Missouri - that's why they always got better bowl games.

I have no doubt that the only reason they got screwed this time is because Beebe wanted to send them a final shot on the way out the door. No way would that Texas handpuppet fuck do us any favors unless it was part of an agenda.

Kids that can't get into USC?

Like I said, Nebraska's got a name people associate with football. But you haven't done much with it lately. And I think Thug Pelini's antics of late may have done you more harm than you realize.

But we'll see next year. I suspect you've just traded masters. It may come to pass that snaking that invite was a huge favor.

You will find out soon enough.

But, as I stated previously, I cant really address that post due to not having enough knowledge of the specific situation. Im sure there are reasons, but at the end you have a valid point.

3 games....lost by a combined 10 points, its a valid point that Stanzi should have done more (without having seen the games myself to know if he did and others dropped the proverbial ball or not) in crunchtime of those games to help his team win.

[Rausch]

I like our offense's matchup against Iowa's defense. The Hawkeyes have struggled with spread offenses over the past few years, especially Northwestern.

Missouri's spread is quite similar to Northwestern's, and the Tigers have more skill talent, a better QB and a better OL.

[Titty Meat]

Probably but it doesn't matter he won't be a QB at Nebraska anyway theres another recruit they are high on Jamal Turner.

I'm sure OU agrees with that.

I bet because thats how Mizzou finally beat them.

Did you watch the game the other night? They ran it alot to open up the pass. You can't just sit in the spread offense all day aginst good teams and expect to win.

Considering he was ranked as the top baseball prospect in the nation, I would find that surprising. Plus, baseball pays much better with less concussions.

Any MLB player that can cash his paycheck and sleep well at night without feeling like a damned thief is either a liar or a heartless bastard with no soul...

[Titty Meat]

My friend covered his HS games and he said they were talking about a position change and he agreed. His throwing mechanics are just like Martinez's it would be a few years before he's ready to play at QB.

He has done a good job of preparing his team for his bowl games in about every year. There is plenty of tape on how to take down your gimmick offense and Ferentz will have the team RTR (***ready to rape***)

I seem to remember one of those WRs taking the top off of that defense to get OU back in the game.

I realize that Oklahoma's 112 total yards rushing and 2.9 YPC did a lot to open up the passing game that netted them 340 yards, <del>so I have to concede that point</del>

That first touchdown was on a play fake which was setup by the first few drives of them pounding the ball with Murray. OU ran the ball 30 times my whole point is you have to have some commitment to the run when playing good defenses.

[duncan_idaho]

Thats not what his parents & him are saying

He'll likely be the first amateur player drafted and likely will be dangled a contract in the $5 million to $6 million range.

One of the reasons his signing bonus will be so large is that he will be able to use his college commitment as leverage. The Starlings will spend several months talking up that commitment... and it will pay off at the negotiating table.

[Saul Good]

I believe you have misunderstood me. I am not on Stanzi's side.

[BossChief]

He overthrew several passes on the final drive against Northwestern, and had a pick earlier in the 4th quarter on a stupid decision that changed the momentum of the game.

For some reason, Northwestern has had our number for years in football and basketball....we could be #3 in the nation and they could only have 2 wins and I would be a little skittish about playing them.

What happened the last time Mizzou played a team with a premier front four like Iowa has (with two potential first round draft picks on it in Clayborn and Ballard)? Nebraska dismantled your offense, that's what, and I bet Iowa knows that tape in and out by the time our teams meet on the 28th.

The butt hurt is strong in this thread. Seriously, enjoy never winning the Big 10 either. Their teams match up much better against you than the average Big 12 teams.

Nebraska also has top notch corners who run four and five deep. Most of the Nebraska sacks in that game were coverage sacks, especially early. Nebraska has aligned its defense to defend the spread and runs dime the entire game against Missouri.

Is Iowa going to do that? Or is it going to stick to the 43 defense against the spread, like it has tried in the past?

If Iowa does do that, does it have the depth at CB to keep its guys fresh there? Does it have hybrid S/LB who can run with slot WRs AND play like LBs against the run?

[KChiefs1]

Considering he was ranked as the top baseball prospect in the nation, I would find that surprising. Plus, baseball pays much better with less concussions.

He'll be a Royal before he is a Cornhusker.

[Iowanian]

Well, with that kind of effort on smack talk, no wonder the Hawkeyes went 7-5.

C'mon, Iowanian. You drool out better smack than that in your sleep; we all know it. Stop underachieving.

Well...I am trying to join in the Chanukah Spirit...I'm giving the shitty gift on the first night, and I'll work my way up to the gold candy coins as we get closer to the game.

Now put on your Mickey Mouse toga and go play with your Dradel embroidered hackey sack with the other flat peckers on the Iowa City Ped mall....and yes...Iowa City has a PLETHORA of whackadoos. You'd fit right in.

[DeezNutz]

One of the reasons his signing bonus will be so large is that he will be able to use his college commitment as leverage. The Starlings will spend several months talking up that commitment... and it will pay off at the negotiating table.

Exactly.

With a clause to pay for his college education, should he ever return to school. So take heart, Huskers, he might end up in Nebraska when he's 42.

Nebraska dismantled our offense because they have two of the best CBs in college football and Gabbert had no one who could get open.

Had you watched the game, you'd know that.

Kind of hard to do when you are down three scores before the first quarter is halfway over.

[BossChief]

Had you tried to run the ball it might helped.haha thats kinda the point, I didnt watch the game but I read the gamethread in passing.

Nebraska dismantled our offense because they have two of the best CBs in college football and Gabbert had no one who could get open.

Had you watched the game, you'd know that.I was too busy watching Stanzi and the Hawkeyes dismantle #5 at the time Michigan state iirc that day.

Nebraska took you apart because they made you one dimensional and they were able to take away your strengths.

We'll see what Iowa does to try to emulate that.

[Titty Meat]

I'm referring to later in the game when Mizzou was at the goaline and Pinkel went 5 wide

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Haha yea my bad dude connecting Saul with you must feel like jerking off with a brillio pad.

LMAO

[Saul Good]

Was that right before Mizzou's offense cut the lead to 7 only to watch us give up another 60 yard run on the following possession?

LOL, didn't f'n Minnesota just run over your "premier front four" for 200+ yards?

Clayborn is a good player, but your defensive unit obviously has some major holes considering your losses this year.

[duncan_idaho]

The only time Missouri was inside the 10 against Nebraska, it ran the ball on three straight plays: a qb sneak out of the jumbo package, a rb dive out of the jumbo package, and a zone read out of the spread.

And Mizzou was never in the red zone with a chance to tie the game. Best it could have done at any point was cut it to 24-21.

Lot of "misremembering" of this game...

[kepp]

Won't do it.

You will find out soon enough.

But, as I stated previously, I cant really address that post due to not having enough knowledge of the specific situation. Im sure there are reasons, but at the end you have a valid point.

3 games....lost by a combined 10 points, its a valid point that Stanzi should have done more (without having seen the games myself to know if he did and others dropped the proverbial ball or not) in crunchtime of those games to help his team win.

Defense could have/should have won some of those games for us.
coulda woulda shoulda doesn't count for a damn thing however.

[vailpass]

Dominant.

You DOMINATE an opponent.

Or one can be DOMINANT over an opponent.

I swear to **** the next person that continues to misuse this word will be splayed out and I will fill their mouth with their mother's feces...

Why do you hate The Lexicon?

Breaking news.....Iowa WR Johnson-Koulianos suspended from all team activities. The Cedar Rapids Gazette newspaper is reporting he was picked up on drug chargers Today.

Sorry, No link. I am watching the Iowa- Northern Iowa BB game on the Big Ten channnel and they came back from commercial with the breaking news.

[niblet]

Cocaine, marijuana, and prescription drugs.

Our all time leading receiver was a cokehead. Wow.

[siberian khatru]

Iowa's got a long way to go before they match MU in suspending players this year.

[Marco Polo]

This is a big break for Mizzou. DJK is/was a stud.

[Pitt Gorilla]

This is a big break for Mizzou. DJK is/was a stud.Eh, so was Derrick Washington. Players step up.

[Sassy Squatch]

Eh, so was Derrick Washington. Players step up.
A bit late in the season, though...

[kchero]

Mizzou did the right thing in sitting down D. Wash and they took their bumps and bruises for it as well.

[Pitt Gorilla]

A bit late in the season, though...It happened around a week prior to the first game versus Illinois. Iowa has more time to prepare in this situation.

[Iowanian]

DJK must think he plays for Florida....what an F'ing idiot.

On the bright side, maybe it clears a spot for a kid I know to get some playing time.

I just read about that. He might not even stay out of prison. He was a fringe 4th round WR guy that now probably goes 7th or UFA and cost himself alot of dough. :doh!:

[BWillie]

Say hello to the most heralded recruit on the Iowa roster, Keenan Davis. I hope this guy can shine.

[CaliforniaChief]

I know all big time college programs deal with these issues, but for a guy supposedly in the "Right 53" mold, Kirk Ferentz seems to deal with a lot of these issues.

DJK's deal is a much bigger problem than your typical Iowa DUI deal. These are some serious charges. Either he is a total idiot, a hopeless addict, or both.

:facepalm:

[Extra Point]

Mongo like candy!

[BossChief]

That is a huge loss. His presence made our offense balanced, now somebbody needs to step up big time. McNutt can expect to be bracketed most of the game, one would think.

What a fool, he likely would have gone in the 3rd-5th (depending on combine/proday results) now, he will be lucky to get an offer as an UDFA.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Yep; running around the cornfield, blasting Slipknot with a straw up yer nose ain't no way to go through life, son.

He'll be lucky to stay the hell out of prison.

Evidently he confessed to knowing that the place was a drug den and that he sold drugs out of it. Not to mention testing positive for cocaine and MJ use.

This sounds really really bad for this kid. And it also sounds like he's one of the bigger dumbasses presently walking this earth.

As I've said to the dumbass Nubs fans as well as the Heat fans, no fan anywhere holds the high ground on this kind of stuff. Everyone has their share of troublemakers. But man - this sounds exceptionally stupid. This wasn't a spur of the moment bad decision (DUI kinda stuff), this was a kid that had a damn drug operation fronting out of his own home as an NFL prospect.

Unreal. It would be sad if I could truly feel empathy for someone that so savagely fucked themselves.
