This season could be special. Not that we would be 12-0, but that it could be a good season? For me, I think having Brett Greenwood as honorary captain, then Koehn kick the winning field goal. Something special that night.
At what moment did you realize..
- Thread starter HawkinMN
- Start date
When i was drunk in first game and didnt spill a beer on me.
Beating Northwestern 40-10 in Evanston. No one saw that kind of domination coming.
When we completely dominated a very good Illinois State team.
The Wisky game showed me something then watching the dismantling of a solid NW team made me believe. It hasnt been easy along the way but this team has tremendous leadership!
75% sure after long FG to beat Pitt, 90% sure after beating Wisconsin on the road, dismantling NW on the road took it to 100%.

August: Big 10 Media days. Lomax & Ott said a successful season would be if we won every game. There was something in the way they said it that indicated something was up.
After we beat Iowa State....
Outside of two outliers:
- losing to ISU means 7 or less wins
- beating ISU means 8 or more wins
Hawks won means Hawks win.

When VandeBerg recovered the bouncing Krieger-Coble fumble for a TD against Iowa State. Those plays never seem to go our way, 100% of the time. That told me something was awry in the universe, and maybe things would be different this time. So far, so good.
this reminds me of something that I meant to ask earlier in the year and forgot to.....I think VandeBerg came from running out of bounds to grab that fumble, I am assuming the whole "cannot go out out bounds and be the first one to touch the ball after coming back in" is only on forward passes?
sorry to get off track, but if someone knows that for sure let me know.
Go Hawks!!
I remember that coming up at the time, and I believe he was forced out and then re-established himself prior to touching the ball. Either way, suck it Clones!!!
i saw this too and thought it was lip service at the time. Remember thinking how much more poised the Ohio State guys looked in their interview. I was wrong! Unbelievable season. Keep rolling
It didn't sound like lip service to me. Don't know why. I could tell Jordan meant it.
This only applies to receiving the ball, not recovering fumbles.

Realized last year but was told I was crazy. He is the difference

KF playing to win and then getting it done in the Pitt game made me wonder. Winning at Camp Randall made me believe. After pounding NU, I knew it was gonna be good.
I know people will not believe me, but the very first game of the year, i sensed something different about how tis team came iutnofbthe tunnel forbthe ierbfist Kinninick entrance. Did I believe they would go 12-0, NO, BUT I JUST FELT SOMRTHING DIIFERENT.
So proud of this team. Keep it up hawks....never give up!

The Pitt game was when I realized something was up. That game was a street fight for 60 minutes, and showed that we had the toughness to win in the B1G.
Had no interest in going to the Illinois State game even though I have season tickets and live in Iowa City. At the time, I thought Iowa beating Iowa State saved Kirk's job (I believe that Kirk thought the same thing!).

My buddy and I always go over schedule and predict win loss total. I really felt good going into season with beathard at qb. I had Iowa at 10-2 with losses to badgers and huskers. Once we beat Wisconsin I thought this was a possibility! After Indiana I knew it was a done deal.
The pivotal moment of the season was the fake FG against Illinois St. If you were in the crowd at that moment then you would understand. Also, if you watch a replay of the game, it appears that Kirk Ferentz was a little emotional at that moment and almost to say that win or lose that we were going to fight the rest of the season.
Didn't expext 12-0 at the time, but right after Pitt game it just didn't seem like that kick could become just a nice footnote in a ho hum season.
Talk of coaching leadership changes by KF prior to the season - credit to him x a million!
It starts at the top! Coach of the year...well done!!!!

Few will believe this but I started seeing the changes last yr with recruiting and when KF came out with the depth chart.in January I could tell something was different.
Obviously know one knew THIS was coming but I could sense a change and knew the ability was there if the LB'S and OTs held their own.
Iowa State game you could tell this team was special. Illinois State game the seed was planted that there was something really different than past KF teams
