Week Eight Review...

All I can say is WOW!!! What a great weekend for ISU and Iowa. Sadly UNI suffered it's second straight loss, not good hopefully they can turn it around and still make it into the playoffs, it's amazing how we go from thinking they will win it all to hoping the make the play offs in two weeks time.

First off my clones! What a win! We have gotten critisized for being so happy about winning this game when Nebraska had eight turnovers and we only won by two, I'm not debating that fact our defense was definetley the better unit...never thought I would say that. On the same thought it shows how great Nebraska's defense is especially Suh. At the same time it was a great win and a great momentum boost for our team heading into what is now the biggest game on our schedule at Texas A&M. We are now second in the North to Kansas State...that blocked pat hurts even more now. This weeks game is not on TV, but next weeks home game against Oklahoma State (yet another huge game) will be on TV. The slots it has a chance at getting are 7:00PM or 2:30PM on ABC or 11:30AM on Versus, I have a feeling if both us and OSU win this week we will be in the 7PM slot on ABC. It is very hard to not get very excited as a fan right now. It has been several years since we have been in this position, especially to be in great position to win the north. We have to execute and come home from College Station with a win this week though.

The Iowa game on Saturday was classic Big Ten football. It wasn't flashy, it wasn't overly impressive, it was tough, hard, physical football. I don't mean to toot my own horn but I predicted Iowa winning and thought it would happen even when MSU scored late. Iowa always seems to get that lucky play and win. I have to admit I am happy then won, but just once I wanted them to lose so we could have our big day to ourselves. This week they host the Indiana Hoosiers, I still have no clue what a Hoosier is. This will be an easy win for the hawks as they get ready to head to Columbus to take on Ohio State. Good luck this week.

I am trying to get my schedule together for next semester...it is proving to be a bigger challenge than I imagined since the university has decided not to offer some classes, some of which I actually need. I am also required to have a designated area of concentration (DAC) outside of the school of journalism and advertising, I am having a hard time trying to figure out what I want to do with this and what classes to take to achieve this. That's all for now, have a great rest of the week! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!

P.S.

Here are a couple of good videos from this past weekend
