    Iowa......continuing their proud tradition of being a .500% program.

    Hey.....look at the bright side, if they manage to win this game---they could increase their total of 3 top-10 finishes in the last 50 years to a whopping 4.

    Almost as many as Oregon State.

        Precisely why they are a terrible BCS BOWL team when they advance to tougher competition.

              how can you miss a 22 yard field goal...the guy has one job and friggin misses. 3 points would have been a great start to the third quarter

                This game is as good as I thought it would be. Nice and low scoring.

                    Wow. Someone needs to take that Kicker to an open pasture in Iowa, and shoot him.

                    Tressel is keeping Iowa backers in the game. What a tool that guy is. 4th and 1, time to punt.

                                GREAT to hear...............even though I'm going to lose on the game personally.

                                Yup, my friend was spot on with his analysis.

                                Vandenberg looks simply outstanding.........a freshmen, are you kidding me????

                                  Of course you would EXPECT him to say that, perhaps to the media and such, but he is pretty up front and BRUTALLY honest with me when discussing the team......as he has been my friend for 25+ years.

                                  I still believe asking a kid that has never started to perform well in the Horseshoe is asking a lot, HOWEVER I may be inclined to take the +17 after discussing this with him.

                                  Please note, I LAID -13.5 with this game early on as many of you know, and late last night I felt compelled to take back 60% of my wager at +17 even money after my 30 minute discussion with my friend.........so that is where I stand on this game.

                                  Early in the week I was calling for a 24+ point win by the Buckeyes, now I'm calling for between an 11-20 pt win by the Buckeyes in a game that i still feel will fall somewhere around the over/under total of 38 or so.

                                  The kid looks great. The TD he threw was an NFL pass.

                                          Said over and over here..........Iowa has trouble defending the running QB.

                                              Iowa is hanging in this game though. nice and low scoring like I figured it would be. Iowa having only 10 points. Not shocking.

                                                            A lot will depend on who they match-up against, but think the big ten teams may be teams to look to wager in this years bowl games, as many are underrating this conference and one should get some value.

                                                                      You should be a proud Iowa fan today. They once again have persevered, while facing a hostile crowd on the road. Overcoming the TO's by your QB, and a deficit that seemed insurmountable. Great Coaching, and even more karma helped in this effort.

                                                                      But no you bet against your team. Now you should be a shamed Iowa fan. Disgraced.

                                                                      You doubted the magic of Iowa's 2nd half.


                                                                      Thank You
