1. AIRBHG
Acronym for Angry Iowa Running Back Hating God, the malevolent entity that continually smites the running backs of the University of Iowa football team.
Be it through academic ineligibility, arrest, suspension, transfers to other schools, repeated injuries (especially of the knee variety) or other causes, Iowa running backs suffer attrition worthy of a critically endangered species. AIRBHG tends to fell multiple running backs every year without cease, so Iowa can never replenish its backfield.
AIRBHG is a cruel god; fear Him.
"Jewel Hampton is going to be great this year if he can avoid tearing his ACL again!"
"Sorry dude, AIRBHG got to him already: Hampton just tore his other ACL."
"Welp. Time to start drinking, I suppose."
Wrong - it virtually guarantees he'll win, probably next season. If he goes 6-6 next year it will be viewed as such a dramatic turnaround that the coaches will (again) be awed by the awesome wonders of Ferentz as the consummate turnaround artist.
While I find all this AIRBHG stuff mildly amusing, personally, I like to file this sort of thing in the "This is about Iowa football, so who gives a hooping funt" folder.

If Billy-O goes 6-6 he'll win it, and BTN will personally build him a statue at Pennt State.

If they both go 6-6, the COY race will be a bigger deal in the conference media than the race for the actual conference title...
or Ohio State winning it all.
BTN does its best to act as if Ohio State isn't this conferences only hope of winning a NC.
