Wow, I gotta be impressed by Iowa

[Onceuponalife]

Down 24-14 after 3 quarters at home against Indiana, they buckled down and scored 28 in the 4th. 42-24 final. I guess they're better than I thought.

[JonLP24]

1. I woke up and the score was 7-21

Iowa scored 35 points and Indiana scored 3 since I've been awake. I missed everything else.

Iowa fans can thank me for waking up. ;) :silly:

[Upton]

2. Indiana blew a 25 point lead last week

to Northwestern no less. And going into today, Indiana's defense was 9th in the Big Ten in both ppg and ypg given up.

The real question is, if Iowa is so good, why were they trailing such a team for 3 quarters to begin with?

[Condem]

3. Hey, Upton.

You a half-full or half-empty kind of lad?

[JonLP24]

5. Hey Condem

I was asleep during the first two quarters but I caught the third and saw Iowa score 35 points and Indiana only 3. I was also looking for you when they were doing fan shots but I have no idea what you look like but I was looking for you anyways :silly:

:toast: To another great 4th quarter comeback. A win-is a win-is a win no matters how it happens.

[Condem]

12. I was the guy in Black and Gold.

Man. I hope ASU pulls this out.

[trumad]

18. It's scoreboard---something the douche will never understand.

[Upton]

19. 43 in 30:02

:rofl:

[trumad]

21. 3-4 after this weekend...

Poor Niners---- forever sucky.

[happyiowan]

4. And why is grass green? And the sky blue?

How did the Hawks fall behind? They were flat after a big road game last week. And tons of injuries. And the wind was howling. And they're a team that makes a lot of adjustments after the half. In the end, a win is a win and that was a solid victory. Besides, it makes for fabulous tv. Admit it - you didn't turn it off.

[JonLP24]

6. Hey, you know the receiver who scored the 92 yard touchdown?

On camera replays he didn't look back one time. Eyes focused on the endzone the entire time which is unusual. Receivers are tempted to look behind them to see how far they are behind. Not him, eyes straight forward the whole time.

:toast: to the win. :)

[happyiowan]

7. Lucky Number 7

That was McNutt - the kid who caught the last second touchdown last week. Sweet story. When Iowa took the timeout with 2 seconds left - McNutt called the play that they ran and won the game on it.

Hey - AZ State is winning, huh? Nice work!

[JonLP24]

8. Still a lot of clock left

4 and inches or first down, depends how the rule it. 3:27 left however and only 1 point lead. *insert nail biting*

[happyiowan]

9. I don't have that game...

I can only watch the updates on the ticker. Keep me posted.

[JonLP24]

10. It's Cal bal at their own 45

with 2:38 left 2nd down. 21-20 :scared:

[JonLP24]

11. Cal hit a FG with 21 seconds left EDIT: Cal won

23-21 Cal. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Condem]

13. Damn, Jon

Only solace I have for you is you'll probably be in first place by the end of the day in the pool.

[JonLP24]

14. I'm 4-0 as far as I know

Iowa covered by half a point I think. Thank you btw :pals:

[Condem]

15. And I'm 0-5.

Always one week from a disaster.

[JonLP24]

17. At least you're first place in the pro football picks

:toast: to that.

[happyiowan]

16. My condolences, too

It's fun to have a PAC 10 team to root for.

[Upton]

20. ASU was lucky to be that close

At 14-0, I thought Cal might be ready for an easy one...then they gift wrap ASU a TD by fumbling on their own 3 and missing 2 easy FGs.

It was just a sloppy game, by both both sides...and gave ample evidence as to why neither team is in the running for the Pac 10 title.

[JonLP24]

22. Lucky my ass

Before Cal fumbled at their own 3 guess who fumbled at the 1 yard line before that? Arizona State did. About missed field goals, Lou Groza award winner has had an injured groin since week 3 so I don't want to hear that. Instead of going for long 40 yarder Arizona State went for it on 4th down. Plus they're defense is playing for the most part lights out and the reason why they aren't up for a Pac 10 title is because of Danny fucking Sullivan.

Arizona State and their penalties gift wrapped Cal excellent field position the entire 3rd quarter as well and a receiver was tackled while the ball was in his hands just for Cal to grab it and you're talking about 'luck'. WTF ever.

The Bears earned the win, it wasn't the fault of the officials...or whatever other excuse you want to hang out there.

It's too bad about Weber, but he's had that groin injury for weeks now....I find it hard to believe that there's nobody else on the team that can at least try some FGs. I remember in the UW game, Erickson was sending him out there attempting kicks that, considering his injury, were clearly out of his range...and one would think, might add to his recovery time.

[JonLP24]

26. I'm addressing 'luck'

I can think of hundred examples of 'luck' like the player who spiked the ball after returning a fumble putting them in field goal range but the penalty took them out and they don't have a healthy kicker that make field goals worth a damn. You're the one that brought up 'luck' and I'm addressing that shit. I know Cal fucking won and I'm not disputing that, I'm saying it wasn't because of 'luck' they were that close. They were that close because it was that fucking close.

You probably think you're clever for turning it around on me when you brought up 'excuses' or 'luck' why it was close.

[Condem]

23. Upton. You're a good man. But...

...Have you ever thought of congratulating another team that isn't yours? It's called class, my friend. It's really pretty easy to do. A LOT of folks in the Forum have that trait. You, sir, do not.

[Upton]

25. Thanks Condem

:eyes:

[Condem]

27. Stings a little, doesn't it?

Come on, Upton. I'd be willing to bet you're an okay cat.

[madinmaryland]

28. Condem, Don't bother trying.

He's a Douche.

[Condem]

29. Nah, mad. I like Upton.

I get the sense he's doesn't have the worldly experience of the old men here. A bunch of geezers we are.

[trumad]

30. Cboy-lite changing his stripes?

I sometimes think he may just get it and shed his douchebaggery--- but I'm convinced he cannot.

[Condem]

31. He'll be doing a Triple Lindy off that USC bandwagon...

...but say that the Ducks got "lucky". Or "look at the stats".

[Upton]

32. I'm on the Pac 10 bandwagon

and actually the game last night proved me to be correct, as I mentioned after the OSU game that I thought USC was still at least a year away.

Oregon looks great don't they? The Ducks are ready to carry the hopes of the Pac 10 into a BCS game.

[Condem]

33. Agreed, Upton.

Any more talk of bringing that thug back for the Ducks?

[Upton]

35. Yeah..

Blount is going to meet with the Pac 10 Commissioner...I wouldn't be surprised if he was back sometime in the next couple weeks.

[Condem]

36. Well, they don't need him.

And it would be a PR nightmare for the Ducks.

[Upton]

34. Condem obviously is a great judge of character

even in this particular setting. Unfortunately, the same doesn't apply to yourself..

[Onceuponalife]

37. Upton wouldn't know class if it bit him in the ass.

That's why he needs us around.
