For the second week in a row, I leave my home to head South and never get to my destination, this time Lincoln. It wasn't so bad last night as long as it was raining. The wind was nasty, but the wind in Iowa is always nasty this time of year, further evidence as to how much Iowa sucks. When the temperature dropped to freezing, I80 became snowbound much faster than I expected. Winter has arrived.
Good thing you're not going to the Nebraska - Kansas game until tonight, after the sun has gone down and the wind chill drops. Hey, take some tips from a guy who's lived in Minnesota for over 20 years and has spent my share of time outside in the freezing cold for hours on end. Layers are your friend. Cotton is not.
Join us for some witty banter about today's games. I'll be heading west soon, but hope to be back in time for tonight's game thread. Whooohoooo!!!

I got to around 40 or so
but when you’re used to 100+ that seems pretty cold, I was wearing clothing under the newspaper.
Cyclists do this all the time
on mountain descents. They place it between layers and it acts more like as a wind breaker than insulation.
I'm going to writing term papers today
Like a term-paper-writin’ fool. But I should be popping in and out to get my college football fix. Good thing today’s slate of games is relatively weak, otherwise I’d hardly get anything done!

It's just RAW here in Ames.
Cold, windy, rainy. Crabby kids and a stir-crazy dog. Off to the gym in a minute, methinks – at least there someone else gets to deal with my rugrats.

Last night.
I drove from Omaha to KC with a headlight out in rain the entire way. Easily one of my top three worst drives ever.
Who do we want to win this KSU Missouri game?
At this point I’d settle for a 7-7 draw going into 10 overtimes.
"Ha-Ha!
Football."
I'm rooting for KSU. I want to see the entire MU fan base on suicide watch!!!
That was a joke of course.
Who is the color guy for this game anyway?
Swear he just tried to mimic a cow.

Doesn't really matter that much
We beat both of them already, so a win by either doesn’t really affect our strength of schedule. I think you could argue that a Mizzou win is better because that will keep them ranked somewhat highly, and at the end of the season the higher our opponents that we’ve beaten are ranked the better.
However, if Missouri loses and we win we clinch the North today. I’d be alright with that =]

Northwestern is tired of being the team that gives up a lead late in the game
Really want to see if they can finish a game for once.
"Ha-Ha!
Football."
I really hope ISU wins
Mostly because I really really dislike Colorado and because I kind of like Paul Rhodes. No one gave ISU a shot at bowl eligibility to start the season and a win today will get it for them. ISU has actually played the toughest schedule in the country I believe…maybe I heard wrong but I’m pretty sure that I saw that the combined records of all their opponents was really good.
If it's not the toughest it's darn close.
I’m with you on this one – Paul Rhoads deserves conference coach of the year if ISU gets bowl eligible.

Yikes
Darn I was really hoping Indiana might pull the upset…but that was a very far-fetched hope obviously. They’ve played a lot closer than that with most other opponents.
Well
We all know it’s very far-fetched for Nebraska to have a shot at playing for the NC, a lot has to happen…and Wisconsin losing is one of those things that needs to happen. Unless we could jump them by winning the Big 12
I know
I’ve just been a Wisconsin fan since ’93, so I consider them as “we” too.

Haha, I gathered that...
But do cheese and corn go together? I’ve never had cheese on my corn…it doesn’t seem like it would make a good combination meal wise
I don't think I've had them together either
Unless those KFC “Throw Every Food We Make Into A Bowl” Bowls count.

If all goes well
The cheese and the corn will combine to beat their opponents by over 100 points today.
Cheese goes well with everything.
It is the bacon of dairy products.

corn custard recipe:
1 can of corn, 2 tbsp. flour, 2 tbsp. sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 2 beaten eggs, 1/4 cup EACH diced green peppers and diced pimientos, slices of American cheese.
Pour corn in a buttered casserole. Mix the rest of the ingredients (except cheese) and pour over corn. Bake at 359 degrees for 35-35 minutes. Place slices of cheese on top, and bake 10-12 minutes longer until the cheese melts.
There’s your cheese and corn!

Long time Buff player and assistant. Survived the Barnett purge as well as now Hawkins.
I think he’s loved around the program; I wonder if he wouldn’t be the inside choice to take over. He’d fit into the CU budget easier than most any other candidate.
Not gonna lie
Love what he’s doing with the program right now, but sometimes Bielema coaches like an a-hole. Badgers were still passing some in the mid-fourth quarter. That being said, starting QB was out in third quarter, third-string QB scored the last TD.

Two things to take away from this game:
1) Iowa isn’t as good as their fans want everyone to believe.
2) Iowa just cannot beat Northwestern. It is like NU with Texas, except that Texas is (usually) very good.
