At least Pelini gets points for originality.

Not sure those are ringing endorsement from Hoke, Ferentz or Anderson.

 

[sd'sker]

i bet iowa's second word would be "challenged".

 

[Mierin]

The bad schools obviously don't have enough $ to feed their athletes.

 

[Marf]

"Arousing" would have won Bo more points.

 

[The Dude]

The bad schools obviously don't have enough $ to feed their athletes.

But can they pay their electric bills?

 

[Haspula]

process

 

[beanman]

Boner

 

[irafreak]

Jack

 

[VA Husker Fan]

He should've gone with Feline, keeping up the cat thing.

Callahan's response would've been Excellent (in all aspects)

Solich's would've been Mobile (as in, they move around well--one of his standard post game quips after a loss)

 

[zoogs]

"Developmental"?

Great choice, Kirk!

 

[True2tRA]

Injured

 

[lo country]

Honestly, I would have liked angry.

 

[JJ Husker]

Hopefully "exciting" is not a euphemism for turnover prone or unpredictable or failing to put away opponents.
