Week 12 Other Games Thread

[Some guy]

Hmmmm......CBS chose to air the Penn State/Michigan State game in the 2:30 window rather than the #21 Iowa/#17 USC game (which is on BTN)?

Who made that boneheaded decision?

It wasn’t their call
The deal mandates BTN gets every team twice
Which force this game on to BTN

 

[GringaGopher]

NW coulda, shoulda

 

[NotAFanOfBecky]

I’ve got no confidence against Northwestern next week. They want a bowl game and they gave Michigan all they could handle. That being said I think Michigan is overrated, but they looked good against a solid team.

 

[Some guy]

I always thought BTN got the leftovers after the nationally televised games were picked.

It’s complicated but BTN is guaranteed 2 games of each team in conference

And USC needs this game on BTN to meet that

A&M: Trooper who pointed at players sent home

Texas A&M said a state trooper who made contact with South Carolina players during Saturday's game has been relieved of his game-day duties.

Feel gross but hammered the Iowa moneyline. USC may be one of the most overrated teams in the country and this is a terrible matchup for them

I wonder how many times his body cam “malfunctioned” in the past.

He has to be aware that there are cameras everywhere in the stadium, makes you wonder how he acts when he knows there are no cameras.

Feels like there are certain coaches Ferentz just laughs at coaching against and Riley is getting the treatment today.

 

[Gopher Mac]

Iowa coming up with trick plays and RB running through the line and not being touched for 10 yards. I thought that was against the rules to block the defensive players.

PSU up vs MSU in the battle of the conference goose eggs. Does Jonathan Smith make it another season if they lose out? This would only be his second season.

 

[upnorthkid]

Stat that’s an absolute joke. Today is the first time Iowa has been called for holding all year

I’d say yes only because they can’t pay the buyout which has to still be quite large

Riley looking like he doesn't want to get wet.

i think it’s the interior OL and it’s game 10. Acceptance of a holding call.

 

[Panthadad2]

Iowa has damn near a whole white-guy defense operating at high FBS level. Unicorns.

Yeah, I was wondering about that but too lazy to look it up.

Edit add: an AI query tells me it would be a $16.5M buyout, but AI often lies.

They do not deviate from the prototype at every position. Finally found that a run threat at QB is helpful.

 

[Panthadad2]

USC pulls ahead following a turnover in the monsoon! Gawd I hate Iowa.

I'll give it to the Trojans, they probably have the best fight song in college football.

Per capita the state of Iowa is only behind Louisiana, Mississippi. Alabama and Georgia in producing current NFL players. Iowa HS football produces some very good players.

I was thinking the same thing. How does this idiot act daily.

 

[GringaGopher]

Wetjen out by a toe- happy 2 c it. If it was OR it would have been a reception.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Minnesota may never win the B1G, but our fans will always be #1 in fatalism and pessimism.

Hang the banner!

Sad but true.

 

[GringaGopher]

Don’t have any love 4 USC but seeing IO lose after being up by 19 is priceless.

Oh, for sure!

Still using Grok. Total garbage.

His contract guarantees 85% of remaining compensation which will be somewhere north of $30M depending on if they pull the trigger this year or next.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Down goes Iowa.

Couldn’t happen to nicer fans.

Love the bench the unsportsmanlike to end it.

USC slumbers out of the gate, but once they get it in gear their athleticism can take over. They teeter on the edge and risk getting too far behind but that team has to rank among the top in the country in raw quicks.
