Dear sweet baby Jesus... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us an IOWA victory on Friday!

GO BLUE.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Not exactly. It only seems like this is the one year Iowa is bad because we need them to help us out so badly and because we had struggled lately against bad Hawkeye teams. But Iowa was 7-6 last year, 8-5 the year before, 6-6 in 2007, 6-7 in 2006 and 7-5 in 2005. Ferentz has been struggling for a while.

I know that it sucks but you can thank the refs most of all for basically gift wrapping those wins for Nebraska over MSU and Penn State. Heck, even in our game against the Huskers shortly after Denard went out, they ruled a Bellomy pass an interception despite the fact our receiver rolled over the ball (with it touching the ground) then flying back up into a Nebraska players hands. The ball is dead as soon as it hits the ground but apparently that's not the case in Lincoln.

If not for the refs, we could very well have the division wrapped up right now despite losing Denard and despite whatever the outcome is in Columbus. It's just extra salt for the wound.

C'mon, young friend, you know that's not the case in Lincoln (or anywhere, with Nebraska standing to benefit)!!! Any more than it is the case of a ball being "dead" once illegally kicked by a player...ring any bells????

Of course. 15 years later and that still stings. Although that game was in Columbia, proving that Nebraska need not be in Lincoln to get bogus calls in their favor.

And we also need not get into the 2005 Alamo Bowl.

Sheesh. It's OSU week yet I suddenly want to put the Nebraska logo on my dartboard.

Indeed. And I got the point. I can never stop being a stat man when it comes to football.

I'll tune in to Iowa/Nebraska on Friday but I fear I'll be turning the game off in the 1st quarter.

I'm going to enjoy a good cigar today after my Thanksgiving dinner. I like to smoke a good cigar still I'd love to have what you are smoking !

Heard that Greg Davis, Iowa's OC is going to resign next week. The jist of it is that he did not have the passion for coaching anymore and that it was recognized early in the year. Damn shame to know that now. Ferentz or A.D. should have spotted that during the interview process.

Ferentz's tenure has resulted in 7 wins as the Average, the median (mid point) and moode (most frequent number). He's had fewer wins and he's had more. And generally speaking for each season below 7 wins; he has 1 with more than 7. Fans have come to see the pattern and we're sick of it. For a while we thought ok - new realilty - this is a 8 - 10 win program with a dip once in awhile. Not so. Not so.
