Don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but the Register apparently sent a cameraman to Kinnick on Saturday night, and he shot some pretty good video.  There is a bit of the pre-game, the team running onto the field (complete with the fight song and Enter Sandman fighting it out), the Stanzi pick-6, TonyMo's first TD, and the coup de gras - Tarpinians hit on Stonum, extreme close-up style.  He/she kept the camera on Stonum long enough that you can hear the crowds reaction when the hit got replayed on the video board.  Good stuff from the Register.

I know that Jake went on the record with DM Register earlier this month to shoot down rumors that he was heading back home....but according to Scott Dochterman, those rumors have fired up again.  Theres also a 30+ post thread about it on HR, and it was mentioned in a thread on Cyclone Fanatic.

The old saying is that where there's smoke there's fire...anybody know anything?  OPS?

like the true champions they are.  From Mike Hlas:

"You’d think Northwestern people might hold a grudge against the Outback Bowl selecting Iowa over their alma mater.

OK, so the Wildcats are ranked and the Hawkeyes aren’t.

OK, so Northwestern beat Iowa in Iowa City.

OK, so the Cats are 9-3 and the Hawks are just 8-4.

But NU alums aren’t bitter. Nooooooo."

For taking the conservative route and kicking the field goal.  Heaven forbid you go for it, and at the worst make Carolina go the length of the field with 1 timeout.  Kick coverage had been atrocious all day, yet for some reason you decided to roll the dice when everyone in the stands and everyone watching on tv knew what would happen.

Sorry if I'm a debbie downer, but thats how I feel, and I doubt that I'm the only one.  Deciding to kick the field goal was the epitomy of playing not to lose.

I know BTN carried the game today, but does anyone remember what channel Dish Network carried it on?  I had to work and called my wife to have her record it, but she couldn't find it on BTN or any of their overflow channels.  Did anyone else have this problem, and if not, what channel was it on?
