NICE game here! Very neutral field... Fuck - I think maybe Iowa should have a tiny edge, but I've got a feeling if you played this one 6 times, both teams might end up 3-3...

Fucking terrific, a 10-2 team vs. a team that woulda' shoulda' coulda' played for the NC if not for 5 plays... and it starts late on a worknight.

Fuck me.

I wish I could agree with you here.........but I just can't.

I hope the team proves me wrong, but I expect a team with no effort whatsoever. But then again, Missouri could feel slighted by ending up in such a shitty bowl game like they did last year and not show up. It's possible we could have the ultimate cripple fight and you can flip a coin on who wins that. But last year had to have been a lesson for them I would think. They didn't even show up to play Navy and the coaches should be able to use that as motivation.

In 2006, we played the best game of the year against Texas in the Alamo Bowl. We looked like a completely different team than we had all year. It was like some players with heart stole our heartless players jerseys and went out there and SHOULD have beaten the Horns.......but, like so many Iowa teams, they choked it away in the end. That team had similar preseason expectations to this year. The difference was they really sucked and got rolled in quite a few games. But that was Texas in San Antonio. This is Missouri in Phoenix.

I suppose we will find the true character of these seniors come December 28. 5 or 6 of them are a couple months away from being drafted in the NFL, so why bust your balls and risk injury in such a meaningless game following such a disappointing season? I was hopeful that Nebraska would be the opponent because I could have seen this team get motivated for that.

But Missouri poses some serious matchup problems for us given their ability to nickel and dime you through the air. We don't make adjustments to that. In fact, our coaches refuse to. I don't really see what the point of making the adjustments now are. Maybe in the spring we go back to the drawing board, but does it really matter if we win or lose this game? Don't get me wrong, I will cheer my ass off for the Hawks and come December 28, I won't give 2 shits how pathetic our season went- I will be fired up to beat Missouri. And I'm hoping they go out there and prove me wrong. But my gut feeling is they will give the same effort as they did against Minnesota, struggle to adjust to the spread offense, and come out completely flat on offense.

I hate to say this, but I gotta call it like I see it........

Missouri 34
Iowa 13

Gabbert will be 30-39-310 yards and 3 TD's. Missouri will be 9-15 on 3rd downs. Iowa will be 4-13. Missouri will have 1 turnover and Iowa will have 3 (probably 2 fumbled snaps).

Oh, and Temple got screwed, big time, btw. As much as conference tie-ins suck donkey balls, alternate conference tie-ins suck donkey balls by a factor of x infinity. There's no way an 8-4 Temple team should've been passed over for a bowl game in favor of a 6-6 team from the Sun Belt.

Might be the best game of the whole season. Both teams are going to be pissed, but I might give a slight edge in being pissed to 'Bama in the way they lost the Iron Bowl. I will watch this motherfucker from start to finish. We might see SS & Mgo exchange harmful bodily fluid in this one.

I'm excited for this match-up. I think it's funny that of the three Big Ten champs, MSU gets the inferior bowl yet the toughest opponent. In my opinion, anyway. Bama was only like 3 plays away from winning the Olympics.

I actually feel much better about Mizzou's fate after seeing what a craptastic match-up Nebraska got.

Washington again. Seriously? 6-6 Washington who they already beat down once this year and play again next year.

You think that's an excuse?

We have lost by 40 points combined in our last 11 losses. I think it's pretty obvious a motivated Iowa team isn't getting blown out by anyone.

I said what I expect to happen. It's not an excuse. I don't think this team will show up to play. We were in a BCS bowl a year ago and had high expectations for this year and everything went south. Why would a team that has a bunch of seniors that are about to get drafted show up to play in a minor bowl game? I hope I am wrong, but think about it....... if you were Adrian Clayborn, Rick Stanzi, Christian Ballard, Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, Julian Vanderverlde, or Allen Reisner......would you risk injury to play in the fucking Insight Bowl??? What for? We win, we finish 8-5 (whoopee). We lose, we finish 7-6. What the fuck is the difference? We don't have any seniors with much to prove to the NFL scouts. The ones that I just listed will be drafted for sure. The other ones I don't think have much of a chance at all of being drafted (except perhaps our punter, Ryan Donahue).

A minor bowl game isn't going to make or break your draft status. Nothing to prove, and no reason to risk injury. Why play hard? I got news for ya, Crimson........this isn't exclusive to Iowa. There's 9 or 10 teams every year that don't show up to play in these minor bowl games for the same reasons.

And the opponent we are playing has been through a similar situation just a year ago. They got waxed by an average Navy team, and gave no effort. I don't expect that this year because they can use last years debacle as motivation.

Plain and simple, this game will get ugly. Iowa will have 3-4 turnovers at least and probably an uncharacteristic 75-90 yards of penalties. They will miss tackles, refuse to hustle, and just kinda stand around on defense and let Mizzou go 80 yards on 10-11 plays about 4-5 times. This is no excuse. It's the truth of what is going to most likely happen.

Mace · Post by **Mace** » Mon Dec 06, 2010 10:56 pm

If that's how those seniors want to be remembered then they shouldn't make the trip, and Iowa would be better served to play their backups. I'm not saying you're wrong...it could happen as you predict...but I don't think so and, if they have one competitive bone in their body, it won't.

for the realz. not like the standard 85 aren't friends with the other players on the team and are going to just up and give up on them. would also help their draft position to spend half their pre-draft sit downs explaining to nfl executives why they half-assed a competitive football match.

i love when fans assume the only reason teams lose is because they didn't have any heart.

TheJON · Post by **TheJON** » Tue Dec 07, 2010 4:55 am

Have you guys ever watched minor bowl games before? You act like you haven't. Half the teams don't show up for games played before January 1. This is common knowledge, folks. Tell me this isn't the first time you've watched college football???

Bowl games are a joke. And before you cry about how this is an excuse........you should probably do some research on how well Iowa has been doing in bowl games for quite a while. I believe we are 7-4 in our last 11 games. And that's very impressive considering we usually end up playing a level above where we finished the regular season because of our traveling fan base- or this year, because the Big-12 did not get 2 BCS teams. How many 7-5 teams face 10-2 teams from a BCS conference? 2006 we were 6-6 and faced a 9-3 Texas team. But somehow, our horrible program manages to fair pretty damn well in these games. Amazing.

Anyways, it's pointless to argue obvious things with some of you (Wags). If you aren't smart enough to realize quite a few teams give very little effort in minor bowl games, you're not worth arguing with.

As for the bowl games, I finally looked through the list other than the Iowa game and what a bunch of shitty ass games:

New Mexico
BYU vs. UTEP Albuquerque, N.M.
Jesus Christ, are you serious? I have no prediction. Who fucking cares?

uDrove Humanitarian
Northern Illinois vs. Fresno State Boise, Idaho
For realz??

R+L Carriers New Orleans
Ohio vs. Troy New Orleans
Gambling degenerates dream match-up!

Beef 'O' Brady's St. Petersburg
Southern Mississippi vs. Louisville St. Petersburg, Fla.
Louisville is bowl eligible? Fuckin' A! Beef O' Brady's Bowl? Is this a joke?

MAACO Las Vegas
Utah vs. Boise State Las Vegas
Ok, this isn't a bad matchup. I might watch part of it. Will definitely be interesting to see how motivated Boise State is. I predict Boise will either win by 30 or lose by 30. I just have no idea if they will show up or not.

S.D. County Credit Union Poinsettia
Navy vs. San Diego State San Diego
Could be worse. Brady Hoke's audition for the Michigan job?

Sheraton Hawaii
Hawaii vs. Tulsa Honolulu
I had no idea either of these teams won 6 games. I didn't care to know either.

Little Caesars
Florida International vs. Toledo Detroit
Holy fuck......FIU is bowl eligible? Ditto for Toledo. Again, don't care.

AdvoCare V100 Independence
Air Force vs. Georgia Tech Shreveport, La.
Hmm.....which shitty option team will outduel the other one. I will take answer "C".....Who gives a fuck?

Champs Sports
West Virginia vs. NC State Orlando, Fla.
Terrible game between 2 mediocre teams from the 2 worst BCS conferences ever. Yep, not gonna watch that one either.

Insight
Missouri vs. Iowa Tempe, Ariz.
It will be a great game if Iowa shows up. But they won't most likely, so Mizzou will roll.

Military Bowl Presented By Northrop Grumman
East Carolina vs. Maryland Washington, D.C.
Next

Texas
Illinois vs. Baylor Houston
Baylor. Next

Valero Alamo
Oklahoma State vs. Arizona San Antonio
Arizona won't show up after the way they finished the season. Give me the Pokes by 20. At least this is somewhat of an interesting match-up.

Bell Helicopter Armed Forces
Army vs. SMU Dallas
What. The. Fuck? These teams won 6 games......in 1 year? Or is this one of those bowl games that allow you to play in it if you've won 6 games over an entire decade?

New Era Pinstripe
Kansas St. vs. Syracuse Bronx, N.Y.
2 teams that showed great improvement this year but aren't as good as their average records. In New York......I suppose I will take Syracuse but I sure ain't gonna watch it.

Franklin American Mortgage Music City
North Carolina vs. Tennessee Nashville, Tenn.
Tennessee.......by 20. UNC is not showing up for this game. Tennessee will try and use this to jumpstart the program. UT is going to play their best game of the year here.

Bridgepoint Education Holiday
Nebraska vs. Washington San Diego
They beat them by about 40 the last time, so I would say Nebraska does it again. Probably will be a bit closer this time.

Meineke Car Care
South Florida vs. Clemson Charlotte, N.C.
Clemson? Sure why not.

Hyundai Sun
Notre Dame vs. Miami El Paso, Texas
The 'ol young team with a new coach vs the team that just fired their coach. Notre Dame- by 20. Miami will bend over and take it all day.

AutoZone Liberty
Georgia vs. UCF Memphis, Tenn.
Again.......Central Florida is bowl eligible? I suppose Georgia will win, but I dunno if they'll play hard here or not.

Chick-fil-A
South Carolina vs. Florida State Atlanta
Actually a decent game- it's just too bad Bowden isn't still at FSU for this one. But still, it is FSU, so Spurrier should have them motivated. He's got some great young offensive players. But FSU can score on the South Carolina defense. Cocks 34 Seminoles 27

TicketCity
Northwestern vs. Texas Tech Dallas
Without Persa, you might as well be playing Northwestern State. Taco Tech by 20.

Outback
Florida vs. Penn State Tampa, Fla.
First one to 10? Penn State by a field goal.

Capital One
Alabama vs. Michigan State Orlando, Fla.
Very good game. Saban vs 1 of his old teams. I think MSU is not as good as their record. They're more like a 9-3 team instead of an 11-1 squad. I think Julio will be too much for Sparty to cover. Bama 28 MSU 17

Gator Bowl
Mississippi State vs. Michigan Jacksonville, Fla.
Michigan sucks. Come on, let's be real here........Mississippi State is trying to build a program and winning this game would be a nice start. They'll be more motivated. Michigan has shown no heart or effort on defense since they got rid of Llllloyd. MSU by double digits.

Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO
Wisconsin vs. TCU Pasadena, Calif.
TCU is a fraud. They NEVER beat anyone. Wisconsin has been playing lights out ever since the loss to Sparty. Badgers 31 TCU 13

Tostitos Fiesta
Connecticut vs. Oklahoma Glendale, Ariz.
What a joke. Stanford vs Oklahoma would be an awesome matchup. UCONN vs OU? Really? Who the fuck did Stoops suck off to get this one? Now he won't have to hear about not being able to win BCS bowls anymore, I suppose. Oklahoma by 30.

Discover Orange
Stanford vs. Virginia Tech Miami
Virginia Tech should be playing UCONN and the other BCS bowls should pay the Orange Bowl (or whatever BCS bowl takes the game) a bunch of money so that at least the other BCS games will not suck. That said, I'm calling an upset here.......Virginia Tech wins this. They've been here before and they aren't the ones traveling across the country. Stanford better not take them lightly. The ACC does suck but Va Tech has won 11 in a row. I like them in an upset here.

Allstate Sugar
Ohio State vs. Arkansas New Orleans
The 'ol defense vs offense test. I usually go with defense. Ohio State has good corners so I think that will limit Mallet's big passing plays. Ohio State 24 Arkansas 20

GoDaddy.com
Middle Tennessee vs. Miami (Ohio) Mobile, Ala.
GoDaddy.com Bowl? Get the fuck outta here with that crap.

AT&T Cotton
LSU vs. Texas A&M Arlington, Texas
Very good game here. The team that wins every game because of a fluke vs an up and coming squad. This is A&M's springboard game. I like them to win this.

BBVA Compass Bowl
Pittsburgh vs. Kentucky Birmingham, Ala.
Pittsburgh. That is all.

Kraft Fight Hunger
Nevada vs. Boston College San Francisco
Fuck if I know. Fuck if I care.

Tostitos BCS National Championship Game
Oregon vs. Auburn Glendale, Ariz.
This game will not be as high scoring as people think. If they played this week, it would be. But the big stage and the month off will slow down the offenses. At least 1 of the teams will come out tight. This appears to be an awesome match-up, but usually in these games 1 of the teams comes out completely flat after a month off. I like Auburn to win a 35-31 game this weekend. But I haven't got a clue who will win come January. What I think will happen is 1 of the teams will really come out flat and make some big mistakes that allows the other team to get a big lead by halftime. It might be Oregon. It might be Auburn. Heck, it might be both. They might both play like crap and we have a 14-10 halftime score with 5 turnovers. The thing that makes me favor Oregon is the fact that they were in the Rose Bowl last year, so they've experienced playing in a game close to this magnitude.

Plus, you have LaMichael James wanting to prove he should have won the Heisman against Cam. It sets up a little bit like USC-Texas, except neither team will be as big of a favorite as USC was. But there are some similarities in that both teams will be expected to score a butt load of points and you have the favorite with the Heisman winner versus the underdog with the Heisman runner-up. Other than the Iowa game, obviously, I'm really not all that interested in many other games besides this one and I'm excited to see just how well these teams play. My gut feeling is 1 of them comes out and just lays a rotten egg. Will it be Auburn given Oregon's BCS experience from a year ago? We shall see.

Then I suppose this bowl season it will be a piece of cake for you to identify which teams merely didn't execute vs which teams didn't "show up." Because you can get into the head of every single player and claim to know what motivates them.

Nevermind. You guys are right. Everyone gives 110% on every play of every minor bowl game.

It's funny though cuz people on this board back in 2006 claimed the only reason Iowa kept it close against Texas was cuz "Texas didn't care".

You guys crack me up. You think it's me making an excuse, yet I said back then that I didn't think Texas was completely in the game mentally. I suppose I was just making excuses for Texas....being that I'm a big Horns apologist, right?

That's how they're supposed to play all the time and, if they're really concerned about their health and not risking injury, that's how the Iowa seniors will play on Dec. 28. If, for some reason known only to JON, they come out and give a half-assed effort, I hope they get their knees blown out and never play a down in the NFL. That's not going to happen though, because JON has no fucking clue. If you think DJK is going to come out and give less than 110% effort, you're fucking nuts. The other seniors will follow suit. Iowa will get back those "5 plays" and kick the shit out of our dim-witted neighbors from the south.

Besides that, the Hawkeyes will be extremely motivated to avenge the last embarrassing loss to Mizzou. That 1910 matchup ended up in a 5-0 loss (it was probably a 6-0 loss but the Missouri scorekeeper could only get one of his shoes off).

Mace,

You just going homer here or do you really have confidence in getting a win? The only time in a long time I have felt we would get blown out was Ohio State last year but that was because of injury reasons and had nothing to do with effort.

Let me ask you this.....you said yourself the Minnesota game was basically due to being emotionally drained and lacking effort. While obviously Mizzou is a much better team than Minnesota, what gives you so much confidence they will show up to play in a crappy bowl game? This team showed no fight all year long. You better fucking be right. Yeah, DJK will show up because he always does. I question if some of the other seniors will, and there's only a few underclassmen that will see significant playing time that don't have a starting spot for next year already locked up. I ask you.....what are we playing for? Pride? Come on....they wouldn't play for pride against a rival to end the year but they're going to play for pride against a team we never face?

Believe me, I hope you are right. I just think this game has ambush written all over it.

Like I said, that doesn't matter. In 2006 everyone (and I'm not just talking about this board) said Texas didn't show up and that's why Iowa damn near won- in fact, should have won.

Let me see if I have this straight........

If Iowa plays like garbage in a meaningless minor bowl game, they can't play the "we gave no effort" excuse, but Texas can? I'm not saying you ever said this, Mgo.......I'm just saying this is all we heard from the media, from Texas fans, and from some people on this board. Certainly a 6-6 Iowa team couldn't hang with a 9-3 Longhorn team, right? It was the Alamo Bowl and Texas is above that, right?

Florida didn't care about the Outback Bowl in 2003 against us, Texas didn't care about the Alamo Bowl in 2006, anyone could beat Georgia Tech after a month to prepare and that's why Iowa won last year in the Orange Bowl, etc...

You have no idea how many wins over the years we have where our opponents "didn't show up" or it was a fluke. So now I'm playing these same cards but it's not okay??? We've never won a single game where the opponent actually gave effort.

We've beaten Penn State 8 of 9 years and have lost to them exactly TWICE since 1995. Go talk to Penn State fans and they will tell you every single win has been a giant fluke. We've never beaten them. The game is our "Super bowl". They don't get up for the game like we do because Ferentz is from Pennsylvania (even though Ferentz doesn't get fired up for ANYONE- EVER). We beat them every year and finish with an equal or better record damn near every season and we are "little brother". Go ask them, they'll tell ya.

We beat Michigan State by 31 this year and I even heard from many people in your fan base and the media that "MSU just laid an egg". Iowa didn't play well. Kirk Cousins is a die-hard Hawkeye fan and he was intentionally making those poor decisions and he paid off your defenders to tank the game. Okay, I made that one up, but my point is certainly it was a fluke. Go look at Iowa's record this year and MSU's. Must have been a giant fluke, right?

Trust me, if we beat Missouri........most people will say "well, Mizzou didn't want to show up to play a 7-5 team". So what's the difference between me saying I don't expect Iowa to show up?

Iowa has never won a single game because they were good. It's always some sort of excuse any time we beat a decent team from virtually everyone. Either that or we won on a fluke. So, because of that, I will do the same thing. Or is it only okay for other fans to do that, but not Iowa fan????

Wait! They didn't have trucks...or bridges...in Iowa then.

Not true. We INVENTED the truck so we could haul all of our fat women off to Wisconsin where they belong. Don't bother Googling that either. Just take my word for it.

You just going homer here or do you really have confidence in getting a win? The only time in a long time I have felt we would get blown out was Ohio State last year but that was because of injury reasons and had nothing to do with effort.

Yes, I think Iowa will win this game......just as I think they'll win every game they play. Might be homerism but I think Iowa is good enough to beat Missouri. The fact that we haven't won every game is why they actually play the game. It doesn't have anything to do with lack of effort or heart, JON, because they always play hard...always, but so does their opponent. What you don't seem to understand is that just because they don't always perfectly execute every play doesn't mean they aren't trying. Also, the 110% they gave when they beat MSU may not be the same 110% that we saw against Minnesota. The effort was there, all 110%, but maybe the emotion wasn't. I know that Ferentz likes to keep them on an even keel and not get too high or too low, but sometimes you have to have that emotion to get the very best out of players. You can't do it every week but if you can't tell me that this team won't be up for the last game these seniors wear a Hawkeye uniform. They may have lost an edge when they got knocked out of the Big 10 race but they've got about 3 weeks to get it back, and I think they will.

Believe me, I hope you are right. I just think this game has ambush written all over it.

It does.....an ambush for the Missouri Tigers.

Oh, and bizarro.....Clayborn played in a BCS Bowl last season, was an all-american, will get his college degree, and will most likely be a first round draft pick. I don't think he will have any regrets about his decision to attend the University of Iowa.

In this game, I will strap a covered wagon to my cock and put on a red cowboy hat. I will be a Sooner fan. I want to see OU win by at least 40, just so I can listen to ESPN cry and throw baby fits.

I'm still in shock at this new, gay fucking Pinstripe Bowl. Let's just hope the fans of the loser of that game burn down the fucking stadium.

as a life long UConn fan and former student there till i double secret probationed myself out the door, all I have to say is....

rack!

yeah, i wish UConn did deserve to be there. And I would love to see them roll the sooners...but, it ain't gonna happen. they got no business there. BCS bids should go to top 10 or 15 teams, not teams that just so happened to suck less than the rest of their alleged div-1 conference.

Last night on the way home I was listening to joe D, the voice of the huskies on his show. he was going on and on about how great it was that UConn was going and how the recognition would help the program.

Bull. Fukking. Shit.

The only recognition will be UConn being the posterboy for what is wrong in the BCS clusterfukk. They can do without that pub.

He was yammering on and on about how it wasn't UConn's "fault" for getting in, more or less admitting that it was a blunder on the part of the BCS.

being a bit of a ball sucking homer is fine, but, damn, have just a little bit of honesty, joe. it's not like UConn would shitcan you for saying they really didn't belong there.

Just informed by my son that Iowa's best receiver, DJK, is in jail for Poss. of Cocaine and Marijuana. Not good news for Iowa.
