Iowa -12.5 against NW

More delusion skirt fan or will you go back to living vicariously through NDSU?

Well, at least your Rolodex of responses is easy to maintain. Just two entries...living vicariously and VHS tapes. And your group home is eternally impressed.
 
Here's the difference...turnovers as a result of a player on the offensive team screwing up, rather than the defensive team making a play. Also, dominating the other team to put themselves in the position to score is part of the equation. Iowa's DE last year didn't have to do anything but catch a ball and walk into the end zone, so shame on us for stinking it up and giving away a TD. It cost us in the long run.

Also, the interception by Chris Jones in the end zone was a beautiful pick, and he appeared to almost bait Thorston into throwing the ball. If Northwestern would have made plays on those drives or the turnovers, I wouldn't be discussing them. Also, Ozigbo's knee touched the turf on his fumble before he fumbled, so that wasn't even a fumble.

We both know that we dominated Northwestern in moving the ball right down the field on both of those fumble possessions. I know we didn't win 38-13, but the difference in the two teams is much closer to 25 points than 11, and it was evident on the field. We also beat them on explosive plays by a number of 14 to 2, which again illustrates the differences between the two teams.

Beathard played a very good mistake free game last year, and Tommy stunk it up. That was the difference in the game.

So a defensive end reading a play, dare I say baiting - at a minimum superbly prepared- making a one handed, dare I say beautiful pick for a 250 lb player, is the offense screwing up...got it. A punt returner dropping a punt is the defense making a play ...got it.

We both know that one coaching staff that knew a team couldn't run on them, and they could get pressure on a qb with four people, baiting a qb to throw in a 25 mph wind on a 20 degree day....yeah, that game was lost on the sideline, and during a week of prep, not by a kid asked to execute a stupid game plan. It certainly wasn't won by a qb that played one of his worse statistical games of the year. Again, Nebraska had the ball 1 time in the second half with a chance to take a lead. They went 3 and out, Iowa responded with a 2 play drive. Nebraska offered up it's best drive of the day, Iowa responded with a 1 play drive to go back up by two scores. It was effectively over at that point...we both know that if you just take off the blinders

Your an embarrassment to what is for the most part a very informed fanbase.

More delusion please. Make sure the NCAA updates the official skirt fan approved score from the once mighty and Northwestern game to 38-13.

Let us know when you are done.

Husker Duh takes his job of representing the skirt fan base very serious.

Delusion is as delusion does.
 
How about you go look for an FCS loss on our schedule. Any time, any decade. It's not a 2-week period, although the 14-7 win over Rutgers was impressive in its own right. It's just a 1-week sampling.

Oh, now we're restricting the analysis to one game? Iowa's entire historical value as a program all comes down to one game a couple weeks ago. Who'd have thought? You are a freakin' genius. /sarcasm

Husker Duh makes those who believe the earth is flat seem perfectly rational.
 
Have you figured out how to improve your reading ability yet? Seriously man, Evans Learning Center. Sign up, pronto..

Hmmm. I've read, more than a couple of times, where you've stated the score was 38-13. Did I read that correctly?

I know you're rationale of claiming that score but no matter how many sites I go to I keep finding 24-13 score. So, as far as having reading skills about things that didn't happen, I'm afraid that probably won't improve. For that I apologize. When I obtained my B.S. in Physics, it was already assumed that we knew how to read. I understand your being around a lot of Nebraska fans where questioning someones ability to read comes up quite frequently, I won't hold that against you. Your penchant for being reduced to name calling is a clear sign of your intelligence. Again, I won't hold that against you. There is an old saying, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt." by either Lincoln or Twain, no one is really sure.

I know, somehow, with your crazy gorilla math and excuse list that Nebraska's record last year was 10-3. Of that I have no doubt. Who knows, with this Common Core garbage math they teach now, you just maybe right. In String Theory you can also make this plausible. If the two theories, yours and mine, are related by duality transformation then your theory can somehow be transformed to look like mine but alas, we are dealing with reality here not theory.

Hey, it's the best he's got. Can't talk about Iowa's beat-down of Nebraska last year. It's either the last couple games or go back to last century.

Beat-down...but in your mind, Nebraska winning 20-7 over Iowa "could have gone either way." Talk about la la land
 
Did Nebraska play Northwestern in 2000? You've totally missed the point of my post, re read it and derive the context from it because I'm not going to explain it to you.

But, since you asked, see below.

Not quite as big a thorn as you were hoping for?

But you forget how devastating some of those losses were. Like the 2009 game that knocked Stanzi out for the year and Iowa out of a B10 championship. Or the come from behind win against your NFL line in 2010 where Persa ran and threw until your entire DL was on the sideline sucking oxygen. The meltdown here after both of those losses was massive. Same with 2008. The 14-points in the last 3-minutes shocker in 2005 caused domestic violence all over Iowa.
 
Congratulations best season ever in Iowa history and at least you have Heroes Trophy to fill that empty trophy case.
I'm beyond shocked a Nebraska fan is here to thump their chest over their trophies from the 90's

That's right. The nineties are totally irrelevant and fan bases must look at the present. Oh, and don't forget that the most important five years in college football are, say it together now, 2001-2006!!

Actually Iowa won 5 trophies last year. But at least skirt fans have their VHS tapes to feel good about.

I have been meaning to ask a fan of the once mighties how bad it sucked knowing Iowa guaranteed you a losing season last year?

Yet Northwestern is still our little biatch.

That's really not saying much as they aren't even top 5 in the state of Illinois. Back to the mildcat days - I guess all the hs rah rah coaching isn't working with this years team.
 
Not that I want to take a Nebraska fan's side but the Northwestern score wasn't reflective how Nebraska dominated them. Just like the Wisconsin MSU score wasn't reflective of how close those teams actually are.
 
Won some money taking Rutger's last Saturday, am hoping to make some more money taking Northwestern this Saturday.

Not that is matters a lot, we are usually equally bad at home, but I am more nervous since this is in Kinnick.

If this was the spread and the game was at NW, I would mortgage the house.

A good day for you, then. They win, but don't cover.
I hope they cover, but as long as they get the w, I won't begrudge you a win on the betting front.
 
So apparently Nebraska fans have been reduced to having a pissing match with Iowa fans in a thread about the Iowa-Northwestern spread. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Good grief, man, everybody has an impressive degree these days. Do you really think a Physics degree separates you from the pack? If you have a job at NASA then I'll be impressed, but there are many bright people in this world. Carry on...

Don't you know...this is how this message board stuff works. You are only as good as your last game, and will be either attacked or left alone accordingly.

I really don't think Iowa is a crummy program. I respect your program, and really respect a team that is tough on both the offensive and defensive lines. I actually like Ferentz's coaching philosophy. Just gotta give you guys a hard time.
