Quote of the Day

Iowa Linebacker Pat Angerer has a solid comeback dare to the national pundits like Mark May, Lou Holtz and Terry Bradshaw hating on Iowa's 9-0 record,

"It doesn’t really matter....I’m pretty sure I can beat up most of those guys anyway.”

9-0 is 9-0 and the point of a football contest is to beat the other team. Iowa has not lost a game in over a calendar year but somehow they are begging for national respect after eventually covering the spread against Indiana last Saturday. I do not have the energy to break down everything because there is still a bunch of football to be played but who the hell thinks Boise State/Cincinnati/TCU would run the table at Madison, East Lansing, and Happy Valley in the same season?

There is no doubt that Iowa has warts and they been a benefactor of fortunate bounces at times. However, this 2009 team has always made the money plays when the game is on the line and they should get credit for making them.

I will take winning ugly over losing pretty and I am pretty sure most college football fans would like their team to be 9-0. It feels much better than following the Cornhuskers wreckage in Lincoln.

While the 2009 Hawkeyes have caused serious heart/liver damage amongst us fans, I am still buckled in for the historic ride.

Stanzi Magic, Believe it.

Stanzi Magic

I was yelling “Stanzi Magic” continually throughout the final drive and stewed anxiously during these final 2 seconds to see if my premonition was about to hit pay dirt.

Oh….My…..Fucking……God.

The exact text message to my Hawkeye boyz: “Stanzi Magic, hawkeyes are destined, its so real that it seems made up.”

When you place this sporting event in a big picture thinking context, it seems silly that a play amongst 19-21 year old males could have such an emotional impact on your daily life. To an irrational and passionate Hawkeye/Husker fan like myself, the Hawkeye victory saved what could have been the worst college football day ever and positively changed the outlook of my life in the Fall of 2009.

After Nebraska suffered another demoralizing home upset defeat at the hands of a gritty undermanned Iowa State Cyclone squad, Iowa’s BCS/Rose Bowl chances going up in flames would have been a double whammy soul crusher. It would have taken me weeks to recover and I am not afraid to admit this flaw of mine. Hell, the Brett Favre Vikings ordeal has scarred me in ways that I am not comfortable in talking about yet. (My cat dying, my fiancé leaving me, and my all time sports hero playing for the hated enemy are almost on the similar level of personal despair.) Yes, I am weird/crazy MoFo.

The Stanzi/McNutt combination will go down as one of the top plays in Hawkeye history and might just be the defining moment of a special season.

On Sunday morning, I woke up from my alcohol-induced slumber and immediately pondered if that play really transpired. These types of things do not happen to us Hawkeye fans and we wait around for bad things to happen for good reason, which is based on past repetitive disappointments. (Distinct losses that I witnessed in person over and over and over still traumatize me to this day. I was so close for this heartbreaking hoops defeat that you can almost see me in St. Patty’s Day gear) This devastation has bred quite a severe case of pessimistic cynicism in myself and some of my fellow Hawkeye brahs/brahettes.

However, this play did happen, Iowa is 8-0 for the first time ever, Hawkeyes has won 12 in a row dating back to last season, computers really do have them ranked number one, their BCS ranking is 4 and a Rose Bowl berth seems in reach. The national media is finally taking notice that Iowa is now a legitimate national championship contender.

My initial mass text on Sunday summarizes the feelings of gradual but bewildered acceptance of what is transpiring to Hawkeye nation.

“Did the sports gods really shine on the Hawkeyes? 5 wins from a national title? Holy Fucking Shit!”

Stanzi Magic, Believe It.

McNutt It.

HT:The Daily What

The House of Suh

Nebraska DL Ndamukong Suh completely dominated in the Huskers' 27-12 huge road victory over Missouri last night. I will have much more on Suh and strongly arguing how it is complete bullshit that being one of if not the best defensive college football player in the country somehow does not guarantee him any real shot at winning the Heisman trophy.

This is my new favorite hash tag on Twitter. #suhforheisman

I have been blowing up on Twitter today and tweeting some dope smak to deserving peeps associated with the Missouri Tigers. I provided a slight rat a tat tat to Chase Daniel.

The infamous blogger Huskerh8er and his now defunct blog ripping the Nebraska football program got his Mac G beat down over and over and over and over.

Huskerh8er spent years running a Missouri centric site dedicated solely to tearing apart Husker nation. I actually agreed with some of his assessments and enjoyed his writing style but if you are going to play that game, expect some serious blow back when your team craps the bed like it did last night. This is how sports fandom works and I am not going to let up until he publicly eats crow.

Huskerh8er's "Missouri sucks so does Nebraksa crap" or calling Nebraska fans gomers or hicks is not going to fly. When Chase Daniel sliced up Nebraska's D the past few years, I swallowed the painful Tigers syrup and never played the easy "Rednecks in Ozarks card." Man up Huskerh8er, I am awaiting a real response.

Mizzou's starting QB Blaine "I see Suh people" Gabbert has been a tweet target of mine as well (here and here) for his piss poor play against the Skers. Go give Gabbert your tweet condolences for sucking on national TV more than Nebraska's subpar QB and he is lucky that he did not have at least 5 picks.

I am not bitter over Gabbert decommitting to Nebraksa because teenagers are apt and allowed to change their minds but karma is still kind of a bitch.

Hawkeye Burns UM Wolvermuts

I do not post many forward emails because they are either distasteful/unfunny jokes, dirty porn or distorted rants declaring that President Obama is the anti Christ.

However, I made an exception for this one.

A recent graduate of Iowa moved to Dearborn, Michigan when shelanded a great job with a company located there. After becoming a citizen of Michigan, she felt almost as if she had betrayed her Iowa background and ancestry. She had an apartment with a Michigan address, and she winced whenever she looked at her Michigan driver's license. When it came time to register her vehicle she had an idea. She'd get personalized plates and make things right.

The personalized license plate for her car arrived, and she beamed as she installed them. She was so proud she sent an instant message to her father right away. He too was a proud Iowa alumnus.

'Daddy,' she typed. 'I'm so excited! I got new, personalized plates for my Mini today. They're University of Michigan plates!'

'WHAT?' he replied, 'You have to be joking!'

'Nope, I'm totally serious. Let me send you the image.'

Her father couldn't stop laughing after he viewed the picture of her car.

"Betraying your Iowa ancestry" is a little too much Iowa pride for my tastes but I am thoroughly impressed with how she rolls now.



Personally, I would worked into mocking the hand on the plates because every Michigander that I have ever met loves to point out their hometown to each other on their hand. A tip for all those single dudes or philanders out there, poking fun at this weird hand obsession works great as an ice breaker in convos with women from Michigan.

The Emergence of Baby Daddy Levi Johnston on to the national celebrity scene has been pretty amusing to witness. Free Market Fundamentalists are definitely conflicted in watching the Alaskan Hockey Cock Gangsta get paid solely for knocking up the daughter of their "Family Values" hypocrite hero.

Paramount Farms has made a wise decision because I am sure this Pistachio nuts ad video is already burning up the tubes.
