Talk Hawkeyes

To hell with Coach Alford’s alma mater. I hate Alford and his Hoosiers. What? The Hoosiers have a football team? It’s not time for the Iowa/Indiana instant classic national TV basketball game?

Well, Illinois had a running back dance around for 214 yards on 27 rushes last week. Rumor has it that he broke a sweat on those last few runs and the dirty, rotten cheater Zook recommended Mendenhall tryout for cross country after the spectacular distance performance.

All of those yards came in whatever city that Hoosier school is located in these days and on a day when the Illinois quarterback only completed 13 of 28 passes for 98 yards (with 2 TDs and 2 INTs). Seriously. What kind of productivity can you expect from a man named Juice.

Now the Hoosiers come to Iowa to get thumped.

I know you might try to point out how badly the Hoosiers beat Iowa last year. Let’s face it, Hardy beat the Hawkeyes last year. The rest of the Hoosiers could have stayed home and played XBox and the outcome would have been the same.

We’ve learned our lesson. The game plan this year calls for one man in the box and 10 playing downfield to make sure Hardy doesn’t try to get funky again. It’s foolproof.

The Hawkeyes are going to win by 3 TDs. Unless the team continues to not run Young and Simms as much as they should. If that happens they will win by 2 TDs and a field goal. Unless the field goal kicker kicks it into the defender’s belly again for a third week in a row. If that happens, the Hawkeyes win by 2 TDs.

For the record, if the Hawkeye RBs are averaging over 3.5 yards per carry with 8 guys in the box, let them keep running the ball.
