Looks like we are playing Illannoy at 2:30, I read on their Scout message board that it will also be on ABC. Hopefully we can walk in and kick the snot out of them and have a pretty good setting for a classic Saturday at Kinnick, it would possibly be one of the games of the week. How sweet would it be if we had a "Gold Out" or "Black Out" game at night against PSU?

My guess is it would be as awesome as the night game against OSU was a few years ago. It was a great atmosphere, until kickoff.

Are you talking about when Corso and the gang from Gameday were in town? I remember being hopelessly optimistic during that game until about half way through the 3rd quarter even though I pretty much knew we were up a creek once we got down by two scores. That game sparked the beginning of our two years of mediocre Hawkeye football. I really hope/think that we are back for real now. First things first though with the Illini in a couple weeks. |

I think the shovel pass O'Kweefe called at the end of the Michigan game in 2005 sealed the deal for us. If we would have gone for a TD instead of settling for a field goal, we'd have had some freaking momentum. I think that bince that game we have a losing record. Bince that game, we are 1-3 against Northwestern.

Not to change the subject on you, BTR. But I have been reading the Illini message board on Scout and their fans are a bunch of douchey assholes.
Between looking at our message boards and theirs, our fans have a ton more class. I'm starting to get hungry for this game and hope we pound the piss out of them. Hopefully Wisky beats them badly then we beat them doubly bad to put them back in their rightfull place as a B10 perennial cellar dweller. Also, this could cement Zooks legacy as a recruiter first and coach second and let those great recruiting classes (which still blows my mind) know they made a mistake by going to play football in such a lame football town.

Illinois fans are as bad as they come. They somehow feel just because they have a great recruiting base to draw from that they should be stuck in the top 25 of the polls without argument forever. Wisconsin appears to be the same way.
I can't believe it's a 2:30 start. We have had pictures of the girls taken on Saturday afternoons/evenings now twice in the last 2 months. All the games have started at 11 so it works out perfect. So we scheduled the family ones on 11-1 at 4 pm. The game should be over with by 2:30 and I could listen to the post game on the way up to Mason City. Well they screwed that up for me. Bastards.

We scheduled family pictures that day as well but we went for 10:00 just in case (we are doing them at our house so we would have been done by 11:00 anyway). I feel for you. |

The Scout Illannoy boards are fucking pathetic. they flame away, and -god forbid- you strike back as a fan of a different school, you get banned.
I remember a couple of years ago during bb season, there was a post or two taking jabs at Chris Street. I complained to the moderators and got kicked. Fucking twats.
