Can you smell the roses?
We can. And we envy the seniors playing their last home game with Pasadena on the line. What stakes!
Mmmm... and they kind of smell like a Hawkeye curb-stomping. It's been a long, long time. Sorry, Mark May.
What say you?
Comments
it gon' rain [touchdowns]. go bucks.
It was nice to see ESPN- College Gameday completely forget about the Ohio State- Iowa game with the rose bowl on the line. But yet every SEC game had a prediction. Not surprising at all.
Seriously. WTF. I hit rewind thinking I missed it. Nice.
Yeah, I thought I missed it as well.
At least that spared us the sight of Herbie picking Iowa in an upset.
I normally don't get opinionated with anything regarding gameday or predictions/opinions/etc.
Not even predicting or spending quality time on a matchup for a guaranteed BCS bowl was disgusting. Obviously if Stanzi was still around and they were still unbeaten it would've gotten attention. Isn't the case and the general lack of concern or even credibility is alarming. Don't take Iowa for granted.
I wouldn't piss on Mark May if he was on fire.
O-H
That chick from Coyote Ugly is HOT!
That was such a load of garbage. I might be done with ESPN after a blatantly obvious snub.
they talked about it earlier. corso said, "Iowa has two chances to win- slim, and none"
?
I-O
Never Mind...I actually watched that movie when it first came out.
I-O!!!
Yeah, they spent about 10 minutes talking about how Iowa doesn't stand a chance.
I thought Forcier wasn't starting this weekend? Guess Rich Rod just didn't have the balls to bench his QB.
F that dbag May. he's such a tool, i swear. At least the old lisping coach knew whats up!
Well said my friend
Lou Holtz would rather be golfing than sitting next to may day. he said it himself.
Did I just hear Spiels right? he picked Iowa...
that can't be correct.
HAIL, HAIL TO MICHIGAN...
the cesspool of the world?
LOLverines!
holy christ
I really, really doubt it. He was pretty confident on the radio this week.
I love his radio show. I listen online whenever I can.
good. like I said, I didn't hear it all the way.
Does anyone know what the hell that video was? I don't get it.
Jason?
Clip from the movie "White Boys". About a couple white dudes from Iowa who like to rap and act gangsta'. Pretty funny you should check it out.
It's from a really terrible movie called Whiteboyz -- about some white kids from Iowa that drive up to Chicago to try to score some drugs. If you have the chance to see it, don't.
I'll be the Siskel to your Roeper.
I'll make sure I never see it..... not even for free.
And stay out of Caprini Green.
Cabrini is actually going through gentrification and is not quite the terror zone it once was.
Let's go Bucks
Sweet! We get to go Millien-around again this week
he is Turrible
Would you prefer Musberger and Herbie?
So why do they keep referring to Columbus?
That was an ugly pass.
What the hell was that, Thoma...
Bad punt. Losing the field position battle early.
Russell Anderson bailed out
Alright, time for the good guys to get it going.
YIKES
we need to get some offense going or we could be eating a lot of crow today
Reminds me of the Michigan game last year and how we started that one.
Not sure Iowa's D is even 1/10th as terrible as Michigan's defense was last year, though
They let Vanderwhatever get way to coomfy
michigans defense last year was maybe the worst defense ive seen from a big ten team ever
Dammit can we pass the damn ball and stop running it up the gut?
True. I'm not sure why Michigan's defense is so terrible. Their personnel is not that much weaker than it was in the Carr years. They probably have better talent than Iowa on D, but they just don't play well under RichRod.
They need to at least flip the field.
And Iowa made their FG...
If TP could look down the field, maybe.
That wasn't designed to go up the gut; it was a pitch to the right. But Boom cut it back.
First down!!!
ah, nice pitch and catch
aaannnddd it looks like maybe the running game is getting going
Nice run by Boom
THAT WAS LITERALLY THE BEST RUN I'VE EVER SEEN
Iowa: here we come. See if you can stop us.
Good point..play action time soon..
That being said, I hate those runs out of 4-wide formations. Trying to be cute never seems to work against good teams.
Are you guys getting this on HD? 2 weeks in a row, no HD
Drink
Everyone drink!!
a false start you say
We should've beat USC.
i dont think you get priority on the transplant list if you do it to yourself
does it count bc it wasn't a lineman?
Seriously, did somebody switch our "O" line with the Steelers?
Naked bootleg...
Take half a drink.
I drank anyway, I just wanted ruling from the booth
hahahaha why in the world do we have the wildcat?
Who's feeling a nicely-centered field goal coming up?
Love the call, but I don't think it's in our playbook.
This game is going fast. It doesn't look like there will be many offensive opportunities.
At least run it with Posey...
Best. Incompletion. Ever.
The Crew, for 3!
It was nicely kicked too.
i hope we never have another college age kicker again. after barclay i want our next guy to be diego maradona or something
Looks like the 7 Nation Army cheer is here to stay.
This game feels way to Cooper-esqe (sp) to me.
That Vandenberg fellow has quite an arm...
Our D scheme is vulnerable to the Pursue "roll the QB" approach.
millen resists the urge to make a racist joke, not because hes actually racist, but because he just likes attention
Yes, I am that same gut feeling I had during a Cooper game.
DEFENSE!!!
3 and OUT!
hahahah holy shit homan
Millen: "They're not afraid to throw the ball with Vandenberg." Good thing McDonough reminded him that Iowa has no running game.
Good stop. Homan laid dude out.
De-Cleater on second look.
t feels eerily similar to that 1996 Michigan game.
Bite your tongue. That team had Orlando Pace at tackle and still couldn't get in the end zone.
Here's my post-Navy plan...become a mediocre coach at a mid-level program, have a great year, go bilk so school like Notre Dame into hiring me, flame out gloriously, than get hired at ESPN to make irrelevant comments on air. If I happen to coach against the Bucks, I promise to throw the game. Maybe I will post here or "tweet" during the game from the sidelines.
I would like them to pass more, but the ground game is working.
Push 'em back! Push 'em back! I love power football done right.
Shawn Springs....uuugghhh Good Grief. I was just describing that game today. I knew we where gonna lose when we ran the opening kickoff to the five, knew we where gonna go for three and lose.
Didn't look like an HC. Break there.
ohio stadium is haaauuunnnttteeedddd
Sweet run
Awesome run
Thats what I am talking about!!!! That one is for you Woody!!
yeah that was a really excellent offensive series
Anyone else wish we could skip halftime? Looks like we can wear these guys down.
The key to that run was blocks downfield by Sanz and Posey. We haven't seen blocking from those two for most of the season, which is why there haven't been very many long runs this season.
Challenge!
He totally redeems himself!
ANDERSON RUSSELL, Y'ALL. RESPEKT
ANDERSON JONATHAN RUSSEL, BITCHES
(I don't know what his middle name actually is)
i have no freaking idea what millen is saying ever
YOU GOTTA CATCH THE JUICE BALL
Going to the half.
Running out the clock... weak.
Come on!
Jim Tressel's capacity for mercy knows no bounds.
Better than a TP Int.
Ferentz didn't really want that interview, eh?
Now they just need to replicate the 1st half and that banner is as good as mine. Muahahahhahaha.
weak at the end of the half there.
eh im okay either way, iowa did okay offensively but still only have 3 points to show for it, and that was mostly due to a crappy punt. i think we're doing okay.
No HD either. Errr....
Win or lose, we are one half away from Michigan week.
Pointdexter announcer is worse than joe buck. So fing monotone.
I'm at Damon's on Olentangy watching the game, and you have to excuse my ignorance. There's a picture of a #33 that looks Cooper era, and he looks like a RB. I have no clue who it is. Help?
WTF?
God Dammit!
Damn
This is why I like scoring points. It makes those plays slightly less important.
We need a turnover right now...
Am I the only one who saw holding on TG and CH on the pass?
Just a FG would be a win at this point.
i'll guess joe montgomery. first name that came to mind.
Pic 6!
Vandenberg incompletions= drops by recievers.
TP incompletions (that are drops)= bad passes?
Wow.
oh man the universe hates the iowa hawkeyes
Missed FG just as good!
Yeah, if the ball touches their hands the announcers are blaming it on the receivers.
I'm thinking Iowa has used up all of their luck this season.
They lived off these type of mistakes by others all year. Karma.
Thoma sucks today.
A competent team is beating us right now. By at least a touchdown.
That was one time Pryor was right. It was fourth and centimeters. Pryor is 6'5". Tress should have gone for it.
That was the quickest 3 & out ever... what happened? Thoma is a little short today. What happened to those coffin corners?
Yep.
JHC? We are screwed.
I think so too, but if something goes wrong?
We're so tight, and it's showing. One turnover, or another big play by Iowa, and it might be ballgame.
Our D needs to step up big! The "new guy" on Iowa is playing too poised... we need to rattle him! C'mon!
Sam; I agree. Its remarkable. This teamwouldbe undef if not for a freak injury. Isthiss unchar or are they luckiest team in the country.
okay good point
I believe in the Cooper Curse.
Boren!!!
ugh terrible, pryor ran into that sack
also thoma is having an awful awful game
Another terrible punt. We're failing at the most important play in football!!!
Word.
Little sarcasm there.
Can we call "Pass Punt if needed" next 3 and long to get Thoma out of there?
What is up with those punts? Tress relies on those... Field position, and so forth!
Why can this defense not get pressure?
This is agonizing.
He will pick them apart without pressure.
Good to see your safe and have power and TV after that storm! TV being the most important!
Why does our team let scrubs lok great?
d-line is just not having a good game, although the total lack of blitzing is not helping
You too!
Fuck
Millen is killing me right now.
Team's looking a little tight.
Vandenburg for Heisman. Let's see what Tresselball can do, because it doesn't look good.
I thought Iowa's O line was as bad as or worse than ours? We should be getting TONS of pressure...a la PSU! Silver Bullets... where are you?
P.S. my score prediction=down the crapper!
Is Heron any threat to throw the ball?
It's time for some good blocking and some crisp execution. Let's try and look like we've been practicing!
Our wildcat is hilarious. Off-tackle right every time.
wildcat actually accomplishes something heeelll yeaaaahhhh
Maybe there is some sort of Senior day curse.
jake ballard thinking about jumping over a dude and then saying fuck it is one of the funniest things ive seen all year
Duron!!!
he realized that this may be his last chance to make a highlight and wanted to make the most of it
ALL HE DOES IS CATCH FIRST DOWNS
Nice catch Duron!!
As much as I want to cuss about the play calling, it seems to be working. The short field for Iowa is has been the killer.
Big game = big performance from TP so far. If our defense was playing better we might be talking about how the 2nd year QB stepped up today.
Pryor just seems to be in slow motion, from reading the defense to running.
Good God son.
He should have kept it and ran there. The DE crashed down.
HELL YEAH!!!
Pryor just juked Angerer out of his shoes.
BOOM!!!
Wildcat!
All Hail the Wildcat!!!!!
BOOM!!!!!!!
Stiff Arm Of... wait...
WHAT THE WHAT?!?
Thank God Iowa forgot how to tackle temporarily.
NOW GET 'EM TO GO 3 AND OUT!!!
also the iowa kid booing because he thought that's what he thought everyone else was doing: hilarious
