Spanning the Empire: Your Insight Bowl Open Thread

in Iowa
Email
PrintIt's Iowa! It's Oklahoma! It's time to make Arizona the state where Iowa will have played the second most games in the last two years!
You can blame me for this one.
The Big Ten looks to keep its momentum (1-0, Baby!) rolling as Iowa heads to the Valley of the Sun. The question is: who will show up. And, I don't mean which team will be motivated. I mean, which team will have enough players. Both teams have suspended, sent home, and lost transfers since the season ended. It should be refreshing for whomever is left to just get on the field.
Come on in and join and party. Today's drink of choice is the pride of Iowa. No, the other one. This, mixed with some Red Bull should keep us going through this late night affair. We don't expect Iowa to win, but they have a history of keeping things close.
If you're new here, welcome. We've only got a couple rules, so consider this our legal disclaimer. We have a pretty hefty legal department here at OTE, so don't cross us on this: No racism, sexism, homophobia, pornography, personal attacks, politics, religion, or illegal Internet streams of any games.

I have no clue how Wake is within nine of Miss St.
Cause they are playing some really stupid football. Bizarre play calls, poor blocking technique. Blah.

Is this the worst bowl matchup ever? I’d call it a Cripple Fight, but that would be like Stephen Hawking vs. Christopher Reeve.

There have matchups with 6-6 non-AQ teams that were much worse. That said, I don’t know anyone excited about the game.

That pass was straight up Morelli style

Not even close.
It took Oklahoma at two plays to score following the pass.
That’s no where near a Pick 6.

That was a stupidly blatant face mask.
"This is being a Penn State fan. We’ll prove it, or we won’t. It’s not about proving it to them, it’s about proving to ourselves."
Why don't they ever call that a facemask penalty?
They’d call it on the defense, and they’d call it on the O line. Stiff arms are one thing, but grabbing shold be called either way.
Just got back home... A couple of quick observations
1. Not having Coker is killing Iowa.
2. Oklahoma has been holding all day on offense and in the defensive secondary.
3. The officials blew a call and screwed Iowa out of a TD. It should be 21-7 right now.
4. Iowa is obviously the most physical team Oklahoma has seen all year.

They are basically dead even. Field position has made the 14 point difference.

But they have so many injuries they were using their long snapper at WR in practice and may actually use him in the game now.

KOK gets praise after being mocked earlier for calling an outside run.
Mocking was in fact the correct response.
"This is being a Penn State fan. We’ll prove it, or we won’t. It’s not about proving it to them, it’s about proving to ourselves."
I just wondered
If he made a conscious effort to praise KOK later after ripping the earlier call.
Iowa's defense looks gassed.
They’ve put up a hell of a fight though.

Hint
If Bell’s in the game, ignore everyone else and just tackle him. He always runs it.
Well...
At this point it looks like it’s official: this is the lowest total yardage the Oklahoma offense has gained since 2005.
Nice job by the Hawkeye defense.

And the angry god strikes with a camera
Iowa is truly the most hated team ever.
I like how it basically leaped at McNutt, even after it fell.
"Hey Jay, what time is it?"

"AND IU STILL SUCKS!"

And Iowa is the most hated team simply for the volume of sheer utter loathing from West Lafayette.

Damn engineers
Can’t trust any of them. Now they’re using electronics to attack their rival.
Engineers always have electronics do our fighting for us.
We have a Predator drone strike scheduled for Kinnick next week.

Because having machines doing the fighting for you
ALWAYS works out well for humanity in the end
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Really?
You need 2 scores in 2 minutes and you run up the middle? When did Iowa hire Bollman?
Drop much?

Damn it Iowa. Way to make it look like a blowout at the end.

Fitting finish
Iowa manages to not get either record for McNutt, but gives up a bad TD and then throws a horrible pick. Way to kick your fans in the nuts after getting their hopes up with the comeback.
In other words....yep, still Iowa.

Does it get any better for PU
You manage to suck less than WMU to get a bowl win and then Iowa shits the bed when they could have had another big bowl upset. Try not to blow an ACL celebrating.
I detect butthurt. Easy man, I was joking.

No, I'm not an Iowa fan at all
You have to admit that Pizza Bowl performance was not pretty, but it was a win. Then YMHR snatches a bad loss from the jaws of a major upset. That’s a pretty good bowl season for PU.
