Wow. What a meet! I read through some of the open thread from the meet and saw a lot of disappointment with the final result, which I think would be reversed had the tiebreaker gone our way.

As a whole, it would have been nice to see more of our guys pressing the action early on in order to gas their opponents. Whatever, Montell was the only one who I was supremely disappointed in and he won his match.

Wrestling really is the ultimate spectator sport and last night proved how great an electric atmosphere can be.

I saw one comment in the open thread wishing for more fanposts, so here are my slightly drunk recollections of last night.

Because I couldn't find an Open Thread for the game and this website has conditioned me to no longer be able to watch Iowa sports without discussing it with buffoons on the internet. 

Adam Sandler

Performed by Adam Sandler and Jennifer Lien


"And now the buffoon's date at the drive-in with the school's valedictorian."

Valedictorian: "I really appreciate you're asking me out. Most people are intimidated by my high academic achievement."

Buffoon: "This movie sucks shit!"

Valedictorian: "Well, Ebel gave it thumbs up, but Ciscel thought it was too preachy. Anyway, I enjoyed the director's last film immensly."

Buffoon: "Cathleen Turner has big fuckin' tits!"

Valedictorian: "Yes, well, she recently had a child. I think her maternal biology may play a role in that. She looks fabulous for a woman her age, doesn't she?"

Buffoon: "I put a firecracker in a bullfrog's mouth and blew his fuckin' head off."

Valedictorian: "Well, in psychology we learned that it is not uncommon for male adolescents to commit savage acts on animals as part of their maturing process."

Buffoon: "That girl in the fucking car in front of us, she gives everybody head."

Valedictorian: "Well, I guess she's strong for attention and she feels promiscuity is the only way to obtain it."

[Buffoon eating popcorn]
Buffoon: "This popcorn's fuckin' terrible. It tastes like someone jizzed all over it."
[Buffoon continues to eat popcorn]

Valedictorian: "Well the amount of semen on this popcorn is certainly disturbing. Perhaps the staff in the refreshment stand was overcome by the monotony of their work and decided to play a childish prank."

Buffoon: "I looked at my asshole in the mirror today. It blew my fuckin' mind!"

Valedictorian: "It's ironic that parts of one's body seems odd and unusual because you don't see them on a day to day basis.

Buffoon: "My father's shit stinks up the bathroom all fuckin' day!"

Valedictorian: "It's puzzling why one person's fecal odor can be more overpowering than another's. I wonder whether it is a function of the food digested or that person's internal metabolism."

Buffoon: "I'm gonna go get head from that fuckin' girl."
[Gets out of the car]

Valedictorian: "Well, I'm sorry to see the date come to such an abrubt conclusion."
[Buffoon walking away]
"I do appreciate the time you spent with me and look forward to a future rondevue."

Buffoon: "I like to piss in that guy's fuckin' gas tank!"

Valedictorian: "Bye bye! Have fun."
[Buffoon continues to walk away]

Yeah I copied that from here.

In light of recent events, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz has announced that Iowa will not have a single running back on the team next year. 

"That's it.  We lost the war.  AIRBHG has officially brought about the ultimate demise of the running back position at the University of Iowa."  Said Coach Ferentz in a statement.  When asked about the recent disappearance of Marcus Coker, the running back who everyone assumed would take over the position next year Ferentz said this, "I've said it all along.   It's all about execution.  That's what appears to be the case here as well.  Execution."

Did you see this?  Have you heard about this?  The Evil Witzgerald and Corey Wootton have teamed up again to bring destruction to an unsuspecting QBs career.  I am frankly surprised to not have seen anything about this on here by now.

and I'm talking about the whining and pissing and moaning of our fanbase every time something goes wrong.  Have some perspective people...this team is where it is because of Kirk Ferentz and not in spite of him.  Where is this team you ask?  The 2nd most respected team in the Big Ten.  A tough...gritty team that fields a respectable squad year in and year out.  We have a coaching staff that does in fact coach players up consistently.  McNutt, Sash, Stanzi, Greenwood, A-Rob, etc. have turned into great players and it's not because they came to town with world-beating talent...it's because they have worked their asses off and the coaches have molded them into warriors of the gridiron. 

Get over it!

The University has officially changed one tailgating rule...undoubtedly in response to a high volume of complaints from fans.

For those who are unaware of how this went down...here's the long and short of it:

1.)  Masoli jacked some frat guys and stole a bunch of electronics...then got run down by one of the frat guys and arrested for burglary.  He was suspended from the team for the 2010 season.  But this is Oregon...so let's be honest he would have been on the field for the Pac 10 opener.  (LaGarrette Blount/'d)
