Iowa is really stupidly doing the same thing with Northwestern, a team that has pretty much owned us this decade

Even so Auburn has to lose twice for LSU to make the SEC title game. Without that I don't think they have enough to leap in front of TCU. Although that could be the final piece to destroy the BCS. I think the final piece to destroy the BCS would more likely be a Boise St/TCU Championship game and not a team from one of the power conferences jumping them to be in the Championship game And then as of TCU or Boise State wins the game, a 1 loss Wisconsin team wins the Rose Bowl and the AP selects them as their National Champ. That would be beyond awesome. But seriously, what if BSU-TCU were the only two undefeateds left? Would they actually abide a one-loss team jumping one of the two undefeateds for the title game? I think that would truly spell the end of the BCS. And it would suck a lot more than scenario one.

Well, the good news is that the TCU game is out of hand and the LSU-Bama game is really good

How are they not showing the TCU game anywhere? WTF

I've missed something here

Read this sentence. Then read it again. Then, bang your head against a wall.

Because he prefers to seek a major league job over returning to the minors? It's not like he turned down a job on Quade's staff. What a jackass for seeking a managerial opportunity! I'm still waiting for somebody to spill the identify of all these teams that covet Ryno's services so. It's not like he can't field job offers while staying on with the organization. He quit because we hurt his feelings and he's acting like a spoiled child. So then he's not allowed to pursue his dreams elsewhere? If you think there's no market right now for Ryno as an MLB manager, that's fine. You're probably even right. But if there isn't and nobody hires him, I don't think he's a jerk for necessarily overvaluing himself. I didn't want him as manager either, but I don't think he's a jerk for trying to pursue a goal. And if he stays on with the organization, what kind of a message does that send? "I'm only here until someone else hires me?" Then the Cubs have a bench coach (granted not the most important of personnel decisions, but still) who doesn't want to be here, and then they have to look for another one. And wouldn't other teams have to get permission from the Cubs to talk to him? This probably just saves everyone some hassle. I think it's good that he gets it out of the way now so the Cubs have the entire offseason to move forward with coaching staff and other personnel and on-field decisions. I'm not sure how storming off from a nice gig with the Cubs because he was shunned from a big league manager role is going to help him achieve his goal. Not sure teams are going to look favorably upon that. Your second paragraph makes logical sense, and if that's his reasoning for walking away, then I have no problem. But I don't think that's the case, and for the most part, I think prospective major league teams would agree with me.

He doesn't come off as a petulant, whiny bitch at all

Why have such a shitty bowl on NYD?

Are you forgetting that Hendry doesn't know how to sell high on players? I forgot it when he successfully sold high on DeRosa, Theriot/Lilly and Gallagher Hendry hasn't done bad selling high. No one should be upset we have Archer. diiiiid you think I was being sarcastic?

Yeah, I took some issue with everyone saying that the Giants are a team without any superstars. That staff has the potential for 3 or 4

Yeah but a guy can dream

Newton would wear the Iowa linebackers like a hat as he scored 5 TDs, like he does to every other team in the country. This is assuming our D-line isn't in the backfield on every play. Spoiler alert: They will be The only line he's played that is at or near our caliber is LSU. And barring a miracle run or two, that game goes the other way. And that's with their pathetic offense. The Auburn offensive line is one of the best in the country, and Newton doesn't take too many sacks when he does pass the ball. Iowa has a great team this season, but I'd be willing to bet they wouldn't shut down the Auburn O. I think Auburn rushed for like 400 yards against LSU, btw. Mmm did not say they'd get shut down. I think we'll make Cam Newton beat us with his arm and even with his great receiving corps, I don't think he can do it. Meanwhile, McNutt and DJK will go apeshit all over their pathetic secondary. Auburn will score their fair share, but if the line gives Stanzi any time, we shred that secondary.

Out of all those SEC teams, the only matchup that scares me as an Iowa fan is against LSU. Even that game we can win. I would love for Auburn to lose the SEC champ game and fall to us in the Rose/Cap One bowl. I think it would get ugly for them.

Lots of potentially great top-25 games this week. Particularly looking forward to TCU-Utah. Love that TCU D

A bunch of guys I've never heard of and Ben. Grieve. FAIL

Outstanding former player who by all accounts has a really good tactical understanding for the game. Trammel's the best-known and most experienced of our bench coaches, so that's got something to do with the pref for him over Quade, Sandberg, etc.
