The last time they lost by more than a TD was Carroll's first year in 2001 (27-16 vs ND). Losing by 3 TD's hasn't happened since sometime in the 90's. Oregon this year is exhibit A as to why you don't schedule Boise in Boise.

Giving up 500 yards to Texas A&M is not a good thing. The offense wasn't too bad, and should be ok when Arnaud comes back, but this D needs some work.
-
3 points on 5 trips into A&M territory sucks.
-
A&M owning ISU at half. The offense is moving the ball but stalling. The defense is just LOL.

I don't think anyone hates Iowa. We're just trying to point out that your team has many cracks in the armor and would probably get beat handily by a team like Alabama, Florida, or Texas. Id say you guys are pissing and moaning more about rankings. No one is denying that there are "cracks in the armor" - but the other top 3 teams all have flaws as well. Florida just hasnt been exposed yet, and Texas is not that much better than Iowa. Alabama is the only team I would put above Iowa, and I still say we could beat them on gameday. Id say winning by 18 points when you lost Richardson, Robinson, and Sandeman last week aint bad. Iowa has become very familiar with the term "next man in line" this year, and keeps winning. The only people that think Iowa is better than any of those teams is a certain percentage of the Hawkeye fanbase. I put out this question last week, but rank these 4 unbeaten teams: Iowa TCU Cinci Boise State. The only real reason Iowa is ranked ahead of any of them is because they come from a major conference. If I'm ranking them as who would win on a neutral field, I'd go: TCU Cincy Boise Iowa

Our best offensive lineman is out, and Tiller is starting at QB again. At least Robinson is giving it a go.

8-0 teams aren't garbage. sorry. and the #4 team in the country doesnt struggle against indiana. and northern iowa. and arkansas state. the #1 team struggled with Mississippi State. Indiana would crush the bulldogs. I doubt that. Seriously, MSU is favored by a lot in that game.

The Big 12 TV contract sucks.
-
Penalty, hitting the receiver too hard. 15 yards, automatic 1st down.
-
LOLOLOLOL refs.
-
Wells has basically been a replacement level outfielder for the last 3 years. Unless Toronto is willing to pay for nearly all of his contract and Bradley this would be terrible.
-
I honestly don't remember the last time that worked.

<--- Iowa definitely has more fans in the state (might be a 3-1 ratio), but there's still enough ISU fans to average around 45-55k fans for football games and 12-14k for basketball. I grew up on the far eastern side of the state and there's not many fans over there, but it's closer to even out west. The east side is Cubs territory, so that somewhat explains the demographics on this board.
-
That's great. I'm pretty sure I could watch Mike Leach YouTube clips for an hour and be entertained.
-
Dez Bryant ruled ineligible until sometime in 2010. I can understand a couple games for lying, but a year seems ridiculous when he didn't actually commit a violation.

i think it'll be Duke or UNC. If you're curious, he gave a writeup of his visit to KU. Self's house sounds pretty over the top. http://www.highschoolhoop.com/high-school-stories/2009/10/the-harrison-barnes-diary-official-visit-to-kansas/ Yeah, sounds like Barnes will be playing in the state of North Carolina next season. I think KU is in 3rd, with Oklahoma, UCLA, and Iowa State still officially on his list, but longshots. I'm just impressed UCLA is getting a visit from Barnes. Obviously no chance for him but that's still cool. Yeah, spend another weekend in Ames, or go to Southern California and have one of the greatest programs in college basketball history roll out the red carpet for you. Tough choice.
-
It's possible if they beat Colorado and Missouri to improve their North record, but they would still need a ton of help to win at 4-4. K-State would either need to lose out or end up in a multi way tie with ISU, plus a lot of other stuff. That's too complicated and unlikely for me to figure out right now, and I'm really just amazed that we're having a discussion after week 8 about the chances of Kansas State and Iowa State winning the North this year.
-
Eh, unless you're Iowa you can't win all the close ones. They could be 7-1, but 5-3 is pretty much in line with how they've preformed against their schedule. I think there's a 10-15% chance they get 3 more wins to have a legitimate shot at the North, but just going to a bowl game would be a huge improvement over the last 3 years.

I'm a little late with this but... That said, ISU got outplayed badly yesterday. Not having Robinson or Arnaud play basically killed the offense. A +8 TO margin fixes a lot of things though, and the defense played fairly well considering they got incredibly lucky. A bowl game looks likely now, but I'm not counting on anything before they get another win.
-
That was an embarrassing second half. As a Dolphin fan I have about a billion questions right now, like is it possible to recover from this (unlikely) and why does Sparano insist on running play action on 3rd and 4th and 14 with 2 minutes to go?

ALCS: Yankees vs. Angels (NYY Win 4-2)
ISUCubsFan replied to E.J.'s topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I'm pretty sure both managers have money on the other team tonight. -
I was expecting this to be another thread on something stupid Steve Phillips said. This is a hundred times better.

And your wrong. If Arkansas and Iowa met in the Capital One bowl, or Sugar Bowl or any bowl down there Iowa would be favored by 1.5. Give or take a couple. Thats based on what the teams have done up to right now. Teams favored by a field goal or less generally win 55% of the time. Who said I was flipping a fair coin? but point spreads are not based on who is the better team. They are based on trying to get an equal amount of action going both ways. The SEC is as good as the NFL perception will sway the spread. It has been that way for years. Yet like I pointed out the Big Ten seems to be holding its own in ACTUAL games. From 2000-2008 the SEC was 197-196-5 vs the spread, so they're pretty close to reality. Like it was just said, if the public hits one side of the line hard, the experts usually push it back the other way. Edit: I should note that's against non-conference opponents only. Obviously they're .500 in conference.
