**Official 2020 Iowa Football Season Thread**

[Soda Popinski]

I only go by Sagarin rankings.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I feel like I could watch any random CFP football rankings show from the last 6 years and i would have no idea what season they were discussing. They are all the same.

2015?

It's pretty much Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and one other team being discussed. Mostly Oklahoma but sometimes Oregon or Georgia or Notre Dame.

 

[BBK]

I hope he has some brothers Yayo, dada, Yaya, haha.

Uppity.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

2015?

that was the one year I didn’t get season tickets or watch a single college football game. What did I miss?

 

[Brad Wesley]

Is this true?

 

[douglasbader]

Is this true?

Yeah and we talked about it earlier today. If Ohio State can't play next week against Michigan State, they are ineligible for the Big Ten Championship game as they would have only 5 games played at best.

If that happens, then the Big Ten Championship game is going to be Northwestern vs. Indiana and the secondary game will be Ohio State vs. the winner of Wisconsin/Iowa game.

If Iowa loses, they would play Maryland, Rutgers or Michigan. If Wisconsin loses, they would play Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan State or Penn State.

Northwestern is going to choke on a pretzel and lose their last two. Iowa's playing Indiana.

 

[CamelTones]

If Minnesota really had 20 players out this week, then there is no way they play that game in Minneapolis next Saturday. NW is then given the title game by default.

 

[Mo T]

Probably. But wishful thinking.

 

[douglasbader]

Northwestern is going to choke on a pretzel and lose their last two. Iowa's playing Indiana.

Lol. That would first require Spencer Petras to actually play well in the face of the Wisconsin 3-4 defense screaming up the field at him play after play.

Maybe it will happen, but good luck with that.

Supposedly up to 40 now. Article linked below. Be interesting if Northwestern/Michigan State would entertain a rematch. If not, Northwestern eliminates Iowa from the West by not playing. Wisconsin could still win the West by winning out and Northwestern losing to Illinois.

Wisconsin can “win the west,” but they aren’t eligible for the title game.

The last article I saw said 20 players and 20 staff members for a total of 40.

Their entire roster and coaching staff shoved the same oar up their asses after a gift of a win against Purdue.

Had an Iowa offer out of high school.

Want.

Want.

Not that we needed confirmation but that’s the Bbk seal of approval we were looking for.

[ivan_drago]

Minnesota officially canceled for this weekend. Northwestern wins the west.

What happens if NW can't play due to an outbreak? Is it next team up?

Not sure

Not sure

thanks

 

[douglasbader]

Fuck yes

You guys realize he isn't very good, right?

 

[KitKatApples]

You realize he isn't Petras right? If anything else this could show Ferentz might be willing to move on

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

You guys realize he isn't very good, right?

Petras had as many passes in one game as he's had in his career.

He's tied with Petras in TD passes and has 2 more rushing TDs.

I hope we're looking at any transfer who can fog a mirror.

 

[CamelTones]

How does the staff sell it though?

‘Hey our starter is returning, he sucks but he knows the offense so you’ll compete with him.’

“Do you think you can do better than ol’ Spence over there?”

John Waggoner has missed the last 3 games but is expected back this week. I assume he was out with Covid then.

This guy might not be good consistently but damn there's talent there

[CamelTones]

Could someone explain the scoring at the end of that? They tied the game at 41 in the second overtime...then won it 43-41 in the 6th OT? Even the announcer called it the 6th OT. Neither team scored in the 3rd, 4th or 5th OT? I assume the score should have been 47-41. I’m fucking lost.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Yeah he doesn't seem great, but at least he's a bit of a running threat. Altogether more than Petras has shown

It is a little concerning that among the highlights are one good throw and a bunch of runs.

5th OT and beyond is just 2-point attempts now. Each team missed FGs in 3OT and 4OT and then missed the 2-point in 5OT.

I think they changed the rule after the LSU/A&M game a few years ago.

What would petras highlights be?

I'm not optimistic, but it can't be much worse than what we see at the position this year

The one throw would be Petras best highlight, no doubt about it.

 

[TJones3312]

Just think if Patterson added a spin move running from ghosts in the pocket like Petras. He would be unstopable.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Patterson would be pretty good on the read power that they ran with Stanley, and run with Goodson this year.

Second or third time he’s had it?

Could have been a false positive
