QCI GAMEDAY PREVIEW: Iowa Caucus Edition - Part 1

EDITORS NOTE: The following is a collaboration of thoughts from three anonymous loyal readers of QCI. Ginormous thanks to writing team. The following is the transcript of the back and forth.

CHRIS FOWLER: Just like we always do this time of year… I’m Chris Fowler and welcome to QCI’s Gameday: Iowa Caucus Edition. We have lots to cover here. So much that I believe we’ll make this a two part post. Tonight, we’ll cover some odds and ends. Tomorrow morning we’ll get to our predictions and of course, the mascot head. But before we get to all of that, with us as always, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso.

KIRK HERBSTREIT: Lots and lots of energy going on, Chris. A lot at stake, coach! Are you ready?

LEE CORSO: Kirk! Let’s get this going!

FOWLER: Also with us is long time analyst Beano Cook.

BEANO COOK: Hello Chris and fellers. Notre Dame.

FOWLER: And to help provide some insight from the sidelines, Ms. Erin Andrews. Welcome aboard Erin.

ERIN ANDREWS: Great to be here Chris. My first time on the QCI Gameday. A little nervous.

BEANO: Humina, humina, humina.

FOWLER: Let’s dive in here. In what is becoming one of THE most interesting back and for Iowa Caucus seasons ever, there’ve been game changes and interceptions. First off, there are some people who didn’t make it to the dance. I’m going to just throw out names at all of you. Tim Pawlenty.

HERBSTREIT: His TV ads looked like “Transformers” previews. His speeches were about exciting as a George Eichhorn campaign rally. What do you got Coach?

CORSO: A little harsh, Kirk. Would still have a chance if he had played for the long haul.

FOWLER: Erin, your take from the sidelines?

ANDREWS: He had a huge organization leading up to the Straw Poll, it’s just too bad that T-Paw wasn’t more dynamic as a candidate. I think the problem wasn’t that he spent too much money or had too big of an organization, he just couldn’t catch on no matter what he did.

FOWLER: Another missing person. The last drop out of the race…. Herman Cain.

CORSO: Captured a movement and excited the GOP, Chris. Was one of the best speakers in the race. Inexperience showed and was his ultimate demise.

ANDREWS: Well, he’s still on the ballot, sooooooo is Cain really a dropout? Kidding. At any rate, Cain seemed to be picking up support and then all of his personal issues came out.

HERBSTREIT: Only thing that comes to mind is, The Serial Fondler. Am I right Beano?

BEANO: One butt grab is an aberration, two is a trend and 2 decades worth is Herman Cain.

FOWLER: He sure did get people excited. But as well put by both Kirk and Beano, the personal issues were becoming a prevent defense. Prevents you from winning. Is it worth even talking about Thad McCotter?

ANDREWS: Who? Just kidding, Chris. McCotter’s biggest problem was not getting any love from the national media. And his second biggest problem was his uncommon name – it was easy to forget. He could have had a niche but he was only around for a month or two and just couldn’t catch on. Beano?

BEANO: Awe yes, Thad McCotter. That’s the quarterbacks coach for Notre Dame, right?

CORSO: No way Beano! Ran horrible campaign, and paid too much for it.

HERBSTREIT: I agree Coach. His campaign was quicker than Oregon’s offense and fizzled faster than Jake Christensen’s popularity in Iowa City.

FOWLER: Interesting bits here. Let’s move on to Iowa Haters. What about former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roehmer?

HERBSTREIT: Who?

CORSO: Who?

BEANO: Kicker for Bowling Green in the 50s who didn’t have the grades for Notre Dame or Ann Arbor.

ANDREWS: You don’t make any effort in Iowa; I’m not going to make any effort talking about you.

FOWLER: And proverbial Iowa Hater, Jon Huntsman?

HERBSTREIT: Chris, this guy makes less sense than Lou Holtz. Refusing to campaign in Iowa because of your ethanol subsidy position is weak. Even Giuliani says your Iowa strategy sucks. We were just taking about this off air, Coach.

CORSO: Jon Huntsman has played the roll of McCain circa '99-'00 very well… minus anyone campaigning against him. Oh and, except for the primary success. Oh and, he won't be the next nominee either.

ANDREWS: Again, Chris. You don’t make any effort in Iowa; I’m not going to make any effort talking about you.

FOWLER: All Iowa, all the time. Love it. Lots and lots more to come. Tomorrow our QCI Gameday Team will break down every campaign and ole Coach will put on the mascot head. Make sure you follow G$ on Twitter for updates on the post and join us on the Book of Faces as well, if you’re into that type of thing. See you then!

That Girl Named: Iowa Hawkeye Football

From time to time, I have explained Iowa Hawkeye Football as a relationship. Sure, no relationship is perfect. It takes some work. There are ups and downs. We’ve sure had some great times over the past few years… Like those nice little New Years Day dates... unexpected surprises like the catch in the Capital One bowl... The last two Michigan State games... The Ricky Stanzi Orange Bowl post game speech... Bowl wins... Magical bliss... good times.

*hearts*

Hawkeye Football usually goes about the same as that on again/off again girlfriend you have. It starts in the Winter... after the bowl game... we miss her. Sure... from now until the next Fall... we may flirt or even go out with the NFL Playoffs, or the upcoming Major League Baseball season... hell, we might even hook up with the Olympics to keep us occupied. But these gals are no Hawkeye Football... no way, no how.

The Spring Game comes along... You haven't seen her in a while. And booyah! Damn she looks good. REAL good. She's lost some weight. She's doing this new thing with her hair. And that black and gold outfit she's rockin'? Those one pair of jeans that make you go nuts. (humina humina humina)

But you keep it cool. You'll say hello... maybe grab a drink, but that's it. There's no need to get too excited, yet. You're not gonna call or anything... wouldn't want to sound desperate... she'll be back, right? There’s emptiness for most of the Summer. It's a long wait... Time makes the heart grow fonder so to speak.

The Big Ten previews start coming out late summer. Lindy's, Sporting News and Anthlon... all talking about how she is lookin' FINE. You go to the State Fair and pick up your Hawkeye Football Schedule Poster... you just know she's going to be back in your life. And things are going to be great again. Bam! Two weeks until that first game? You're back together... and it's better than the last year. You're heart goes pitter patter. Everything seems to be a little nicer... everything seems to be a little brighter. Iowa Hawkeye Football is your girl... and life is good.

During this preseason? You stopped at the jewelers in Pasedena. You were looking for a ring. A big ring. For some reason, you just felt that this was it. This was the time we were gonna settle down and be immortal for ever... every thing great and smelling rosy...

But this 2010 Iowa Hawkeye Football girl was a little more complicated than the past years. Expectations... dude, you were shopping for a damn ring! Yeah... this was as serious as a dry keg two hours before kick off at Kinnick. Yeah, that serious. For some reason, in the back of your head... you had high expectations... but we've all been here before... you just knew this year was going to be different… But something didn't smell right. Especially when her father got involved.

He's always has been suspect of us. Her father started putting these tailgating restrictions. All of those cops on Melrose. The parking lots at Kinnick weren't making you feel like you lived in the Hawkeye State, but a Police State. We should have known from the beginning that indeed, something was up... and it wasn't gonna end well.

Enter our girl... the 2010 Iowa Hawkeyes.

The season started off great. No problems. Good two dates in Iowa City. All is well. Great times. Then we took a trip with her to Tucson, Arizona...which seemed exotic for us. Things could get a little freaky, right? Like freaky nice. Then there was the whole time change thing and we were both cranky. Bad weekend. We probably said a few things to each other... at a bad time. But hey, that was just the time change and stuff. No problem, we can work this out.

The next week? Good times were had again. She wore throwbacks... because we're into that. Yeah man. It was nice. Then beating JoePa again?! *hearts* A win like that calls for a blissful night in the hot tub if you catch my drift. Beating Michigan? In Ann Arbor? Yeah... nothing could go wrong between us and our girl now, Hawkeye Football. Damn, she's the best girl, ever.

But... Here's where it gets a little rocky... or Bucky if you will. Freaking Wisconsin.

Yeah, she let them have the Bull. You know.... that trophy with the Bull on it. Yes... that hurt... but could you really be hurt about a trophy that was just made a few years ago? Nah. We'll forgive her. Turns out, Bucky was good this year... no Bull trophy could come between us... right? No problem. It's OK. We can forget about this one... Sure... we both said a few things we shouldn't have said. But we made up. Next weekend will be better, she promises.

Ole Sparty came to Iowa City. Yeah... she showed him the door. She's pretty cute when she gets angry and puts a beat down on the conference frontrunner... of the time. It's like when she crinkles her nose when's she's mad. So cute. That's why we love her. She was mad and everything was alright. Which made her mad in nice ways later if you know what I'm sayin’… Hey yo!

Then we took a little trip to Indiana. No problems, right?

Yeah, we stayed in Indianapolis. And yeah... OK, so we may have spent too much time at the Broad Ripple bars the night before. We were pretty cloudy in the morning. Missed the bus... but caught a cab to Bloomington just in time. We got on each others nerves, but that’s how it goes. We won. Things would get better if we just took a little get away to Chicago for the weekend, right? Yeah, that's the ticket. A nice little weekend in the Windy City. We'll go out, maybe take her shopping on Michigan Ave... maybe take in a Second City Show... you know... just for fun. A nice little leisurely trip to Chicago....

Sigh… Yeah, not good. This weekend in Chicago was supposed to the weekend where we make up... maybe we get on a bended knee. We'll get closer to Roses... LA... Become one...

Wrong.

She got all pissy about leaving the seat up in the hotel... lots of yelling... lectures on how I... of all people, I needed to grow up. How'd that go? Yeah... quiet trip back to Iowa from the Windy City. But... all is fair... Brutus was coming to town. How could we not get excited for a date like that, right? Yeah... maybe after a win like that we could make the ask.... forever. Well... that wasn't a good weekend for our girl, either.

We had a great time... it was intense... all of the stuff that keeps you interested in this girl... then... we must have said something wrong. With a 2:30 start... I'll admit, we probably had too much to drink before kick off... but, that never harmed our relationship before, right? Then... Awe dammit... pissed away... in more ways than one. Call us Popeye... because we just got owned by Brutus for our girl again.

Double sigh...

But one last date to make it all better, right? One more and we'll have our selves a nice little New Years getaway where it’s warm and nice.

We love Floyd of Rosedale. He's child to us if you will... One more date up North. Nothing wrong could happen... could it? On to the Twin Cities and at this new joint. They don't serve beer. So... we're gonna need a little help to get her in the mood. We're gonna be outside... and from past experiences all year... we know we're in trouble with our girl. We would fight, make up and do it all again. Just like every single game of the season in the past. We prepared for this. But in the Twin Cities, well... we had a fight. Not just a lovers spat... put the kind of fight that doesn't end well with you're on again/off again girlfriend that is Hawkeye Football. The kind of fight where things are said and she kicks you square in the nuts.

Yeah, not awesome.

Was it something we said? Listen, I know Brutus the Buckeye is a handsome fellow... but him? Goldie? Goldie the freaking Golden Gopher? You had to let him win?! Really? Did that make you feel better? You let them have the pig?!! The Pig?!! Has it gotten that bad between us?! I know it was cold up there and all of that stuff... and yes, we should have bought you that designer winter coat at the Mall of America on our night out... Yeah yeah yeah... I know, it was freezing... but... you had to let them have the pig? You started to face facts... you knew this break up might be... final.

We were officially fighting after that chilly day in Minne-no-place.

That's when we got a little defensive. How could you?! After all the things, the tailgate restrictions by your father... all of our ups and downs... and now you're going to expect us to forgive and forget... and go to some Phoenix suburb for a bowl game?!! This is how this relationship ends?

This fight carried on. Off field problems. Players in trouble. Heroes disgraced... It was like she was playing a sick game of making us hurt. Rumors… charges… The embarrassment… This might be the final straw. It could be over…

Fast forward to this past week. You saw her texts... Missed calls… Voice mails…

Hit ignore... and delete.

Don’t pick up, dude... do not pick up that phone.

No need to put yourself through this again. All you get is hurt. And we all might have had enough pain…

But the funny thing about this girl named Iowa Hawkeye Football… she was your first and only… and it usually… doesn’t take much to get you back. That’s why you didn’t want to pick up that phone…

All that was waiting was more hurt on the other side of the phone...

Then… It happened. Just one spark. All it takes is one spark, and this one was some Ozark hillybilly Mizzou fan’s Facebook status talking smack about our girl…

No one, I mean no one talks about our girl like that. No one.

On Iowa! Go Hawks! AND GAME ON!

You pick up the phone… you dial and don’t even let her get a word in, “Babe, it’s me again. Let's work this out. Put on that black and gold thing you wear that drives me nuts and I’ll be there in a minute to pick you up. We’re going to Tempe.”

All of those heartbreaking losses… forgotten. Off field garbage? Forgotten. Iowa Hawkeye Football is our girl. And are we not going let some toothless low rent Big 12 school mess with our girl, right? Hell no.

We lock arms and head to Arizona. We're together again. *birds chriping*

So we get there and all the chatter for the game builds up. The Hawks have no chance. Missouri is favored. Too many distractions… this isn’t going to end well. Then you remember why we love her. This stuff just makes her pissed… and remember, she gets really really cute when she gets pissed. "Bring it... Mizzzzzourahhhh," she says in that hot chick voice. *hearts*

It’s Game Time at the Insight Bowl. We're baaaaaaack! Man did she look good last night. The Hawkeyes came out on all cylinders. It was awesome! Where was this Big 12 North super power we were sold on? Mizzou ain’t got nothin’ our girl. Then… Hyde’s interception for 6? Are you serious?!! Oh yeah, man. Oh… yeah.

Then, being the drama queen she always is… the review of that pass? It was of course incomplete… but not you and us, Iowa Football… you complete us. And that’s why the hurting has started to begin…

The wait…

We have to wait until next Fall to see you again. I can hear Hawks fans say it, “But, but, but wait?! We just got back together?! You have to go?!” She does, man… She does…

Iowa Football will be back next year… and she’ll look as fine as she did last night.

So start the countdown fellas… I know that I, like many of you Hawkeye fans, are already counting the days until we’ll see our sweet sweet love again… Iowa Hawkeye Football.

Acts of Awesomeness: George Brett Edition

We've debating putting up this video... on one side... this is the hero we have idolized since we found out what the game of baseball is... I mean.... the dude is awesome. From his playboy days in the early '80s where everyone in KC has at least one Brett story.... to the shear agelessness of the fact he has 3 different AL Batting Titles in 3 different decades....

That Joe Esposito song, "You're The Best Around" (from the movie Karate Kid for you peeps in Story City)... yeah... pretty sure it was secretly written for #5. Now... I could go on forever... really I could...

SIDE NOTE: Quick shout out to a loyal reader that finally admitted the Brett was better than Robin Yount... seriously dude, took you 15 plus years to admit... but I guess its the destination, not the journey on this one... goo job out of you Scoop.

Anywho... this video... while it may make our hero look a little wierd... after much debate with the editorial department at QCI... we felt the pros outweighed the cons... and thus came to conclusion that this truely is... an Act of Awesomness... let's go to the tape...


I know... the audio is a little scratchy... so you may have to crank it up... Best quote, "So who's pitching today?"

Here's the tune that we're pretty sure was written for George Brett...

More El Camino Awesomeness...

So yeah... long time no talk. I've been thinking more about how awesome El Camino Republicans are... then I see this Heineken ad during the NBA Playoff (damn you Orlando)... and I starts to be thinking about the tunes of an El Camino. Contrary to what you might believe... El Caminos celebrate a whole catalog of tunes... not just the classic/southern fried rock, metal, grunge and country... nah dogg.. El Caminos dig a good beat.... and usually some old school sounds... somthing like the following...


Hell yeah... damn that's a great one. Not sure what Biz Markie's politics are... but he would make an awesome El Camino...

5/5/09

El Camino Awesomeness

So... here's another for you...

AWESOMENESS FACT #2 - Now... music is a major element of the El Camino Republican lifestyle. Pretty much... they loves to rock out. We're not sure what the exact theme song is for El Caminos... but we're pretty sure that... if you're ever chillin in the neighborhood, trying to find a good parking spot at the store... or just straight up cruisin'... and hear this song blasting out of the speakers of a bad ass Riveria or something...

Chances are you just had an encounter with an El Camino Republican.

Sing along everyone... Never. "Never!" Never. "Never!" Never never, never be...

So. Freaking. Good.

5/4/09

Awesomeness Facts

So... because we're slackies like that... QCI is gonna be posting some awesomeness. Mostly... the awesomness that is the El Camino wing of the party... So until we can think of something better... we're just going to post QCI Awesomeness Facts... let's start.


AWESOMENESS FACT #1 - If an El Camino Republican lost his/her cat... this is what their "Lost Pet" posters would look like all over town...


12/22/08

Arrowhead, Hawks and Seriously? ...bust out the BIG PEACH!

Alright QCI-ders… a little sports action and other notes. Um, still on a high from being at the game. All completely random and awesome at the same time… as you expect. So let’s bust out and oldie but goodie header.






ARROWHEAD SUITES – Dudes… I was rolling with the VIPs on a friggin’ cold day at Arrowhead. All you can eat and drink? You don’t have to tell me twice. Good game to watch… but of course, we blow it in the end. But for real QCI-ders… Arrowhead is like Graceland for me. Think about all of the posts I did on Metallica and take that to the next level… yea that awesome.
SO LONG KING CARL – Alright, straight up. I have to admit. After all of the bitching I do about King Carl Peterson… I gotta thank him for the 90’s. Those were the days man. The days of my coming of age and the Chiefs kicking ass on Sundays. Good times. But it was kind of cool to be there on his final game as GM/President/CEO. I got to say thank you and give him the finger at the same time. For all of the memories of the 90’s… that shit stopped when he let Jared Allen go. I will never ever forgive him for that. Never.
UM YEA, IT WAS COLDER THAN FORT DODGE – You know it’s cold when you get your first beer at Arrowhead and after taking your first sip… the top of your beer is frozen. Good thing it was only 72 degrees in the suite. Open bar is kind of nice.

QCI FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY
“So and so… is tired of cassaroles, onions and Old Style Genuine Draft!”


That ridiculous! How in the hell could your get tired of that? Wait a minute… there’s Old Stool GD Draft? When was I not informed?

ISU’s NEW COACH – I almost had coffee coming out of my nose Saturday morning when I heard that the folks up in Lames ERRR Ames hired the defensive coordinator from Auburn. Hawk fans… kick back, relax and be ready for another decade of dominance. Oh and Iowa Staters… don’t act like this was your favorite pick all along. Lies make Baby Jesus cry.
I AGREE WITH SOME OF THE DUDES ON SOUND OFF – Yea… um… get this. All the hub bub about Iowa State… and you have Shonn Greene. Who is probably on his way to being the 20th consensous All-Amercian in Iowa History and the first running back since Kinnick?!?!? And you are going ga ga for this coach? Seriously, WTF.
HAWKEYE AWESOMENESS – Well, we figure that South Carolina folks know how to use a computer… so, today… we’re gonna layoff of them, because we will kick their asses anyway… but today, the folks back at QCI HQ are still giggling about the new Iowa State hire. But thanks to BHGP, the smacketh runs other the cup goodness. Now, I heard it since I was little, “You know, they invited the first computer at Iowa State.” Blah, blah, blah… cool, here’s your scratch and sniff sticker. Great. But you know what? When you invent a computer… learn how to use it. Thanks to BHGP for pointing out that the Athletic Department couldn’t use Photo Shop if their lives were on the line… check this garbage out… it’s times like this you should have just called the kids at Topps who do the painting on the traded sets.
SPEAKING OF BASEBALL CARDS – Fellas, I got something here that’s gonna make you feel old… Did you know it’s the 20 year anniversary of the Billy Ripken “F*ck Face” card? Billy finally breaks the silence on the story… check it out here. How bad ass was that card back in the day?
BUFFALO BILLS AWESOMENESS? Yea dudes… this goes out to a few of my good friends are diehard Buffalo Fans. The weekly Bills Rap from WGN 550 in Buffalo. Check out the Week 16 version here. “Let’s go Bills. Bababababababa Bills…” It’s hilarious.

AND FINALLY, in honor of my buddy Chris Faulkner scoring the BEST. WHITE. ELEPHANT. GIFT. EVER. Check this pic out. Let’s play the actual video! If I would have to tell you that you had to crank this tune at the loudest volume… you can just quit reading this blog all together. Seriously, just leave and never come back.
