Seriously Jimmie- who the heck is SPYVEE? I find it extremely annoying that they have NFL analyst trying to act like they know anything about College Football.

Is anyone really surprised that Iowa's defense is shutting down Georgia Tech? Seems like that was the common sense conclusion.
--Growing up with the Big8 and also living through Walden's triple option, it is known that the triple option is a gimic, and is most successful during the long grind of a season when teams only have 3 or 4 days to prep AND you have a superior physical presence (e.g. OU versus Kstate or Iowa state). This game was totally predictable. I wish I would have called vegas, big time. Iowa is a good defense and they had a month to prepare. In actuality, once you get a lead on an option team like Iowa did, you have your defense prepared to DRILL the QB. Forget the pitch, just punish Nesbitt...I have noticed they have failed to do this even though they are being successful. Anyway, Iowa is going to win easily. Paul Johnson is getting thoroughly out-coached.
Second case of out-coaching, the Iowa staff obviously planted several calls in the referees' minds. The chop block, the "block in back" on kick off that was a side shoulderpad. SEC referees were probably hearing from Georgia influence that does not want to see GaTech succeed in recruiting. The Refs have been absolutely one-sided. Yes, I am still bitter about MacCarney taking it like a prison-wife when other teams did this to us.....when a referee throws a hanky on a pre-meditated, influenced call you HAVE to go ballistic for your teams sake. IF this game gets close (which it won't) look for another mysterious offensive holding call against Ga Tech late which determines the outcome.

And the California Raisins make a reunion tour....Could they not have gotten a more current band? Half of the people wont know who this is. Like having KC and the Sunshine band play

Well, I think I've gotten my opinion out there about these expert geniuses more than once.
We've talked about this game at work, and Iowa's defense seems to be built exactly for this kind of game. If their defense was worse, and GT could make a shootout out of this, I think they'd have a big advantage. But if this game stays in this sort os scoring range, Iowa owns this sort of game.
