Wags departure? What happened to Wags?

Nice to see so many old timers still hanging out here. To answer some of the questions, yes, I'm a Hawkeye, Cubs, and Bears fan, so there's nothing good to report there. As for NOJ, I took him deer hunting with me a few years ago and no one has heard from him since. I may come back this winter when ...

Mace

Ha!!! Raiders? I've always been a Bears fan, so there's no success to report.

Mace

Now there's a couple of familiar names. Hope you guys are well, and smackin' the shit out of these assholes.

Mace

Just stopping in to see if this place was still alive, and if any of the old timers were still around. I hope everyone is doing okay, and prepared to survive the winter.m

Mace

Typical recruiting class for Iowa, 24 three star kids, and one more that has to retake the SAT.

Mace

Would someone loan me a candle so I can light a fart. Thanks.

Mace

I don't watch much PAC football during the season but knew enough about Stanford to know that they play very good defense. Iowa wasn't able to slow down the pass rush and, what has been a very good offensive line all season, were totally schooled. I knew McCaffrey was a great player but didn't know ...

Flattery will not get you anywhere, Mikey, but gotta rack any Deliverance reference.

Mace

You're right, Spray, Iowa didn't show up today.....and Stanford had a whole lot to do with that.

And, btw, I don't want Mikey giving me mouth to mouth either.

I'd rather die than have you give me mouth to mouth, Spray. :)

Mace

Congrats to Stanford and Mikey for the win. Embarrassing loss but the Hawks were beaten by the better team....no doubt about that. Stanford controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and Iowa had no answer for McCaffrey. He's an outstanding young player and I'm not sure how he didn't...

Mace

Congrats to Alabama and Sam. Enjoy the win and get ready for the big showdown on the 11th. Should be a great title game. None of which compares to the importance of the upcoming Rose Bowl. :)

Mace

Definitely a step in the right direction, but I was hoping that the Big XXII might be requiring all of their teams to play defense, which would have an effect on more schools than just Baylor.

Mace

How do y'all see Michigan State being able to move the ball at all on Alabama's D? 160 rushing ypg for MSU. Alabama gives up 74 ypg. Connor Cook's shoulder better heal before December 31st! Bama's offense is what worries me...too much stuttering. Yes, Sparty may have problems moving the ball agains...

Mace

And a defacto 4th with ND in there. More interesting to me is seeing 3 Big1G teams. Bill Snyder was considered by some as the. best coach in the country based on his results vs. recruiting rankings. Mark Dantonio may have taken that crown. Yes, Urbs and Nicky are great coaches, but they always have...

Mace

Can't argue with you there. They suck. When they moved from Houston it is like someone threw a switch and the sucking was instant. Playoffs were almost guaranteed in Houston and in Iowa they have been one of the worst teams in the league which they are again this season. You shouldn't have to pay t...

Mace

Props to MSU for winning the conference. And bigger props to Iowa for recruiting kids to come play there. Having now spent a ton of time in Iowa due to hockey I am impressed that they can get anyone to sign to play there. Sorry Mace. Hey, Lefty, you can feel free to never come back, just like I'll ...

Mace

I think the Sooners kick the shit out of Clemson and the MSU-Alabama game will be similar to what we saw last night in the B1G championship game with a low scoring defensive affair and the winner being determined late in the game. Not sure who I'd pick in this one, but probably MSU. You know, B1G, B...

This is the way it's supposed to be.

Absolutely, and with no gimmicky offenses, just some smash 'em in the mouth football. Should be a great game.

Mace

Looking forward to the matchup, Mikey, and think it will be a great game. Congrats on making it to the Rose Bowl. Iowa had their opportunity to make the playoffs but the Rose Bowl is an awesome consolation prize.

Mace

Jay in Phoenix can read??? Who knew? :)

Mace

There were a number of pivotal plays in the game but, imo, the two biggest were the fluke interception in the end zone that kept Iowa from getting at least 3 points from that possession and secondly, the holding call by the MSU corner on Vandeberg when he had the DB beat for what could have been an ...

Mace

Congrats for last night's win and the playoff berth. It was a great game and well played by both teams. I thought the MSU offensive line wore down the Iowa defense by the 4th quarter which resulted in their final drive for the winning TD. Enjoy the playoff run, MGO. I also think that Iowa proved all...

schmick wrote: The refs had as much to do with that loss as the huskers.

I agree. The winning TD should not have counted and I've yet to hear a legitimate explanation of why it did.

Mace

Iowa State is looking for a coach too if he'd like to make a move to the Big XII.

Mace

Hope you're doing okay, Sam, and have recovered from your hospital stay. I didn't watch the game either, but not because of being in the hospital. Our plans for traveling to Lincoln fell through (the guy who was getting the tickets didn't follow through), so we're having a get together at my place t...

Mace

I don't understand putting Iowa ahead of Alabama when the B1G West is clearly the weaker of the two divisions and they didn't even play any of the top 4 teams in the East. Their best win has yet to happen...that will have to be in Indy. And yet the only team (as of yet) to hang a loss on MSU is a m...

Mace

Good to see some of the old farts are still hanging out here, Sam. Yep, it's been a fun season to be a Hawkeye fan. Not sure just how good they are, but we'll find out in the next few weeks. It's also good to see that theJON isn't around running his mouth about the Hawkeyes and their 85 first rounde...

Mace

Props to MSU. See you in Indy. Good to see you 'round, old guy! I know you're happy with the Hawkeyes - as well you should be! Thanks, Spray. The only thing I miss about this board is the college football forum, so it's good to drop by on occasion, especially when the Hawkeyes are having a good sea...

Mace

Iowa will attempt to control the clock by pounding out a ground game and then hit you with some play action passes, which, along with solid defense, is Iowa football in a nutshell. This, in itself, will likely keep the game close unless the Hawks break some big plays. The defense has been pretty sol...

Mace

Iowa is a good team. I don't think they're playoff caliber good, but they're sound in all phases. The problem is their schedule is so rifuckulously bad, we won't know exactly how good they are if and until the play in the ccg. I totally agree. Iowa beat Wisconsin and Northwestern on the road for qu...

Mace

Props to MSU. See you in Indy.

Mace

If the game were played in Iowa City, Huskers wouldn't stand much of a chance. But Lincoln is a very tough place to play as we know and the pressure will all be on Iowa to stay undefeated going into the B1G title game. Iowa's best bet would be to get up big by the 2nd qtr to take the crowd out of i...

Mace

Thanks, Goobs, but I've already seen both of these videos. The Hawkeyes are now 10-0, so they need to update the videos. The Hawkeyes are getting some love from the playoff committee, #5, and the AP, #6, and currently possess a better resume than tOSU (which will change if the Buckeyes beat MSU and ...

I've been a lifelong Cub fan but Willie has always been my favorite player of all time, and I consider him the best player I've ever seen.

Mace

Good to see ya Mace. glad to hear retirement is enjoyable Good to see you too, Scott, and I highly recommend retirement. Only played nine holes today and shot even par, so my golf game is starting to come around after a long layoff due to coaching baseball. I'm playing 18 tomorrow afternoon and wil...

Cockeyes still suck.

But you knew that.

Hey, Goobs. You're right, they do suck, and I do know it. I'm expecting it to be another mediocre fall, and maybe Ferentz's last one in Iowa City.

Mace

Hey Mace, long time no sheep. :grin: Hope all is well Mace, drop a pm sometime and catch me up. All is well here, Jay, and it's good to see you're still around. Spending lots of time on the golf courses of southern Iowa these days, along with a little fishing, watching the Cubs, and totally enjoyin...

Tabata stuck out his elbow to get hit by the pitch and, yes, it's a chickenshit move to break up a perfect game. The umpire also blew an obvious call to keep him in the box. Swing the fucking bat or leave the bat in the dugout.
