OFFICIAL GT vs. IA thread

[TarHeelHawk]

I guess I don't see Iowa, NW, or ISU in a gimmick in the same way GT is. They aren't one trick ponies, like GT. All of those teams can both run and throw at times. And they all have decent defense. GT's defense sucked when it really mattered, and their passing game looked like cave men trying to harness fire.

I mean gimmicky as in Iowa, ISU, and NW don't get the type of players that the Texas' and Ohio States get. They have to run a scheme and run that to perfection in order to compete. It isn't "tricky" per se, but it still somewhat of a gimmick.

Stanzi injured his knee?

WTF has anyone not made a mistake?

 

[Dave19642006]

Stanzi hit the ....Dork award....reporter talks about being from the midwest...he talks about the whole nation

If she had said Cyclones, I would have lost what's left of my lunch today.

That would have been freaking hilarious.

 

[CycloneErik]

Well, I'm a patriotic guy and all, but Ricky Stanzi really came off as a moron.

Clayborn came off really well. He seemed pretty level-headed.

 

[CycloneErik]

That would have been freaking hilarious.

Not for my computer or floor, but for the mind:smile:

I just usually call that "good coaching". Something Iowa, NW, and ISU all have.

Let's just say that Cincinnati was facing a little stiffer competition than Georgia Tech was. I think even you can see that.

True, but they also got blown off the field when they had just as long to get ready for Florida as Iowa did for Tech. Florida is way better than Iowa, but it's hard to say with any certainty that Tech is worse than the Cincy.

"Love it or leave it." (followed by stupid tongue-waving and an awkward gesture at teammates)

Ricky Stanzi = tool. God, I want to just rub his face in the dirt next fall at Kinnick.

Go State.

I've never seen as many bandwagon hawk fans as I do tonight.
My facebook is flooded with hawkeye fans who don't even know what football is...

Now for something completely different, Monty Python's flying circus is currently on IFC....550 for you directv viewers...

 

[Blandboy]

Was just going to say that...I have watched every bowl trophy presentation (they ones they showed) and they are the only fans that booed the opposing team in that situation.

What do you expect? They only have single syllable vocabularies.

Then you could say the same thing about Tech as well. Is it a gimmick when you do it all the time. Every team plays to their strengths. Iowa plays to it's defense, ISU and NW play to whatever happens to be working at the time, and Tech runs the ball 9 out of 10 plays.

Saw that... well, as the saying goes "Typical Hawkeye fans" some things will never change.

None of them could even name a starter in the secondary. Guarantee it.

 

[CycloneErik]

Let's be fair here, people. If the Iowa fans don't boo GT during the ceremony, who will?

Sure it wasnt SUUUUHHHHHH oh wait thats Nebraska

True. Not sure who Tech played non-con, outside of Georgia who murdered them, but Cincy had a nice road win at Oregon State.

I think Cincy v. Iowa would have been a MUCH more competitive game than Tech v. Iowa. Cincy's strengths don't run straight into Iowa's like Tech's did.
