the motivation must come from within

Hard to swallow, but pretty accurate overall.

Exactly right, if you can't get motivated on game day, go do something else.

We should hire Lou Holtz. I mean after his rousing talks during halftime on ESPN who WOULDN'T want to strap it on and go......... to the store for denture glue and a spit cloth.

Does this mean Shaggy can kick it to the end zone on Saturday? That would be a start.

The snapper is looking better.
The runbacks are north south now.
Scales runs like Big 12.

Bret and Todd need to play better bottom line.
You need playmakers to do well at the start of the game.
You need to use better trick plays like Rutgers.

I HATE trick plays. It's basically an admission that your team isn't as good as the other team, and you can't play straight-up football and win.

Every once in a while they aren't bad, to keep the other team off balance, but relying on them to win a game is like relying on a top fuel dragster to take you to the grocery store. When it works it's incredible, but the odds of you actually getting the groceries back home on a regular basis are pretty slim.

Rutgers won with trick plays last night. Nebraska beat teams with trick plays.

If we convert that fake punt against Nebraska, I am about sure that we win that game.

Trick plays when pulled off ignite the crowd as well. I love em.

Holtz is an idiot, I've never heard him say anything positive about us or our program.

Two years ago, right before we beat Iowa 23-3, he said that the toughest part of Iowa's schedule was UNI? Huh? They played UNI that year, but he didn't do his homework.

Speaking of pep, for those who haven't heard, there's a pep rally tonight at 6:30 on central campus. Band, spirit squad, Cy, Chizik, and some players are supposed to be there.
