    Holy [expletive]. And of course hubert said mike davidson got the steal.

    How can you call a timeout when the ball is on the floor? Higgins' crew is always terrible.
  3. hawkeyecub
    It's McGamey. He even emphasizes the G.

    You could get hammered on a Hubert Davis mispronunciation drinking game. I thought I heard him say Ennis Leynord. For some reason I kind of like him on gameday though. Must be his laugh.

    Wait so that terrible B.O.B. song is going to be played many times in every bowl game again this year? It seems pretty clear Coach Urban Meyer will be working on ESPN next year.

    In other news, Verdell Jones still sucks. That IU-UNI game was interesting though.

    Thanks for posting that. It's hard to fault Nebraska for their tickets sold given the matchup but I figured they would still go anyways. Michigan is a little bit surprising to me.

    Statues can do well in the NFL if they're smart and have a quick release. I know he has the latter. I have no idea whether he can make the quick reads that will be necessary. I know I want the Vikings to draft him though.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that nothing of any substance will come from this.

    It feels like he's had about 10 against us. He's had some long returns that didn't go all the way like the kick return last night.

    I only saw the last 8-10 minutes after getting back from the Iowa game but holy cow was Northwestern's defense awful. St. John's shot over 80% in the second half and over 60% for the game.
  12. hawkeyecub
    How was that not his first thought? Especially when it was pretty easy to tell it was #50 and not #56
  13. hawkeyecub
    Kind of what I was thinking as well. Why is this guy pooping all over our division clinching game thread? It wasn't obvious that the Bears won that game without the benefit of looking back at the tape so you can't expect him to know the Vikings got pounded. That doesn't even make sense, poor attempt. Wasn't trying to poop on your thread and definitely don't have any bitterness. Disagreed on one penalty, that's it. I'll leave now.

    Or Peter King's latest column.

    Or his latest column.

    You keep matching dumb statements with dumber statements. The 100% correct call would be bad because maybe you couldn't tell it happened if you ignored what happened? Please keep saying stupid crap, it makes me feel better about hating the Vikings. Shouldn't you be listening to a Bill Simmons podcast with the sole purpose of complaining about it here? He put it up yesterday and we don't want you to fall behind.

    I left out that Wooten is a goon and a thug who lacks any morals or chracter and should have his kneecaps broken post haste.
  18. hawkeyecub
    You're ignoring that it was extremely difficult to tell that he even hit him up high in real time (though $100 jersey says he was able to tell easily and it's not his fault that I can't see). He struck him in the chest and even when you slow it down to frame by frame you see that only a fraction of the top of his helmet makes contact with the very bottom of his facemask. The referee was behind him and shielded. I think it would have been a bad call.
  19. hawkeyecub
    Hey, no one saw that coming.
  20. hawkeyecub
    No you're wrong. There's helmet to helmet contact all the time and it doesn't get called. They don't call it when a player ducks, they don't call it on running plays. They try to determine intent when calling it. Winfield was running straight trying to get to him. He didn't lead with his head, launch himself or do any of the other things they've made it clear that they won't allow. He tried stopping himself and didn't even try to hit Cutler. It would have been a terrible call.
  21. hawkeyecub
    Who could have possibly thought that roughing the passer by Harris on Webb was really iffy? He launched himself into him helmet to helmet. That was as textbook as it gets. I would have flipped out if they called helmet to helmet on Winfield during the pick. He completely tried to stop as well as he could on a slick field and just grabbed onto Cutler and held him. You can't penalize him because he's short and the field is slick.

    The first Forte call was a blatant helmet to helmet hit. Not sure how you can complain about that one at all. The second Forte call was more of a judgement call. But I don't think he ever really got completely stopped there. I can see that one as more of a complaint, but it should be looked at completely independently from the previous call which was about leading with the helmet as opposed to piling on a stopped runner. It was helmet to helmet. My problem is just nit-picking I guess. He said it was helmet to helmet on a runner whose progress had been stopped, but the whistle hadn't blown yet. Then the next play I thought he was completely stopped and they let it go. Now that's still on the Vikings for not coming in and finishing it cleanly, just an annoyance I guess.

    Where do you find the strength of schedule percentages that the NFL uses for tiebreakers? The Vikings would be tied between 7-12 right now.
  25. hawkeyecub
    How bad was the officiating overall? That hold they called on Kreutz/Garza that made it 1st and 30 was awful. Not calling intentional grounding on Cutler was inexcusable. The pass interference against the Bears on the deep jump ball to Sidney was terrible. Then I thought they mishandled the two Forte forward progress plays late. Chris Harris looked like Ed Reed compared to our safeties. And apparently we could have acquired him just by dealing some guy. Ugh
