Live-Blog Style From Seattle

I love that I can walk into a "sports bar" in Seattle, and not have to worry about finding a seat for a dozen people. Let's just say that people aren't super concerned about their Saturday football here in SeaTown. But, they do have wireless in the bars, which is toiight. We have a variety of fans here. Farrell + I are pulling for Iowa, Kray + Smruti (Georgia), and Caber (Texas). I am obviously not rooting for Texas, and will pray to the Gods of football for Saban to lose. He's a piece of shit, that's all.
(all times PST)
4.49 - nothing exciting to report...apparently Harrell from TTU went for 645 yards today, with a 9.8 average. Why doesn't every team do that? You dink+dunk all the way down te field, and you make 2/3 of your passes, because they're all easy and safe. It works against Iowa.
4.52 - Toldeo14 ISU7...how does Iowa State play good against only us? WHOTHEFUCKTHEWHAT?!?!
4.59 - ND lost, and apparently one of the articles on an Irish web-place says they're happy with the prgoress. Guys, you lost @ home...to Michigan State. I know you finally got an offensive TD, but how is that progress?
5.01 - I'm nervous, we're showing highlights of Tyler Donavan running all over us, and I don't like it. It's a weird game, we could get totally rolled, and I wouldn't be surprised, or win, and I wouldn't be surprised.
5.04 - So we got Satellite Party, 50 Cent + Kelly Rowland doing the pre-game montage. Odd mix. Especially considering it's a Wisconsin-Iowa game. I'm pretty sure most Wisconsinites have no idea who 50cent is.
5.07 - I'm naming my firstborn son Limas, I don't care about anything.
5.08 - Apparently there's a USC party in the back room of this joint. I'm very fine with that, if it means I don't have to mix my oxygen with those motherfuckers.
5.10 - Here we go! Come on HAWKS!!!!
5.14 - We're recieving...Shocker.
Sooo....AY up the middle twice, play-action incomplete to Moeaki? Sounds good KOK.
5.15 - Well, no run up the middle, empty backfield with the shotgun...But we throw it to a guy who's running straight upfield. Beautiful.
5.16 - And, we call a TO 55 seconds in. I was making fun of Illinois State for doing that 2 hours ago. Ahhhh, hubris. Maybe Jake's trying to calm me down. I need it.
5.17 - 3 & out. And I didn't even see it coming!
And a shanked punt...tight.
5.20 - 3 straight passes by UW...Somebody needs to inform Bielema this is not how UW has traditionally played football. Thankfully, Donavan overthrows a guy in the endzone.
5.22 - FUCKING YES!!! SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE BLITZ!
5.23 - Easy swing pass, give Jake a little confidence. Please don't F this up, Hawks.
Welcome to the psyche of an Iowa fan.
5.25 - The reverse didn't work against Texas. Bad time to try it, we're not totally retarded on offense yet.
5.27 - When you need a 37 yard punt, Donahue is your man.
5.29 - We've got some Wazzu fans cheering against USC. That should be fun hearing them go back + forth. At least back + forth for the first half, until USC starts beating the piss out of them.
5.33 - I've completely stopped paying attention to any other game.
5.37 - Damn, Bucky is is bringing it.
5.41 - D is looking pretty solid.
5.42 - Mini-Update: Tennessee is pulling away, Texas has pulled away, and UGA is still tight with Bama. USC fans and their team still are sons of bitches, however.
5.46 - Brodell's down. Sweet Jesus, do we need that? I think not, Jesus. A little divine help would be nice.
5.48 - They are throwing all over the place, and we haven't gotten a PI yet. I'm confused. Apparently Tom Knight went white + replaced Shada tonight.
5.51 - JAKE, PLANT AND THROW. YOU'RE A QUARTERBACK, IT'S WHAT YOU DO.
5.53 - Houndstooth visors = not cool. Somebody tell the Alabama girls.
5.57 - Rice players, down by a lot, are standing around staring at each other and giggling a little bit. I wonder what it's like to be on the team that's losing by that much. What do you talk about? Is it a Bull Durham kind of convo. Or what?
6.02 - Good to see the bubble screen after its inexplicable disappearance last week. Although without Brodell and Stross, we have no more skinny white boys to throw to. So that makes it hard.
6.07 - Well, we're still in it, that's a good thing. It's been a weird game. No rhythm whatsoever.
6.11 - How do we get pressure against UW and absolutely nothing on ISU?
Yeah, I'm still thinking about that game
6.12 - Minny-Purdue has officially started. I'm ready to enjoy the enjoyment.
6.13 - Is their punter on roids? Seriously. This kid is Nick Gallery x2
6.20 - Ian's observation: "teh ball is going from the 20 to the 20." Very true.
BTW, Cleveland dropped a ball that would have been our biggest play of the night. Granted, it was 11 yards, but it would have been nice.
6.22 - People are here, and I'm feeling awkward with my computer. Peacin' out.
