*****Iowa St vs Iowa Game Thread****

[AEG82]

I can say this with complete confidence, Kirk is holding Lester back. I have it on very good authority that's a fact. In fact it was said that Lester went a little rouge 2nd half of last game.

Certainly seems plausible. Iowa went from slight-moderate success early on to downright incapable and handicapped midway through the second quarter.

First game was a whole different team in the second. There's just no way frustrations can't come out from an OC trying to do his job.

How many games does Iowa football lose when one runningback gains nearly 200 yards, 2 TDs, and no fumbles?

This has to be a record outlier loss. 100% on the coaching staff.

For having the longest tenured Head Coach we sure still seem like a boneheaded program.

Reminds me of the Central Michigan loss.

Didn’t we lose a game against MN with a RB (can’t think of his name…big back….got in trouble with a girl….) go over 200+ yards and we lost ?

He had something like 234 yards but it was all between the 20s. Once we got to the redzone it was typical Kirk ball

Keagan Johnson; Labas; Charlie Jones; Julius Brents; Kueter; Brecht; Kyler Kasper; Proctor ... and several dozen others could smell what the Kirk was cookin.

Labas = 5 picks today.

Where is Wetjen on offense? No way anyone on their defense is faster than he is.

Seriously? We have a couple of 10.7 and below 100 meter guys on defense. Darien Porter is one of the fastest Iowa high school athletes ever.

Never heard of her.

That said, Wetjen is a return guy. He hasn't done shit as a receiver.

 

[AEG82]

Who is Darian Porter?

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

Labas = 5 picks today.

Deacon Hill had 11

Who is Darian Porter?

The guy who intercepted your QB twice today.

That game was also against an interim coach, if I remember correctly. Kirk seems to have trouble with those interim coaches.

The guy who intercepted your QB twice today.

Oh, okay.

I’m thinking about hiring a witch doctor to come to Kinnick and rid the stadium of all the bad offensive ju ju that has permeated and lingered for many, many years.

It may be our only hope. I swear Tom Brady in his prime would be under the spell at Kinnick. If things break free this year, you’ll know I was successful in hiring the right guy.

"Deacon Hill completed 15 of 29 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns with one interception for Utah Tech. He connected with Alec Burton for a 64-yard score that tied the game at 7. He hit Chris Street for a 31-yard score in the third quarter"

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

Hill lost by 58 points today
Labas lost by 46 points

Hawkeye fanbase lost thousand of hours and millions of dollars in a futile attempt to enjoy Kirkball

The more I drink and think on this, the more pissed I am. Absolutely shit this game away in spectacular fashion.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Seriously???some of you were thinking national championship playoffs prior to this? Did you see the first half last week? Even with the expanded playoffs invites…..nope

 

[Thunderlips71]

Who is Darian Porter?

I believe she is a retired adult film actress

I considered this a 50/50 game. Not surprised but disappointed. And multiple factors already addressed, but I watched Rocco start as a freshman last year and have a decent season. And he’s back and beat us. We have a, what, 6-year guy who beat us in the big 10 championship and yet it… is …. So… hard….to… have…a functioning QB.

Some here will beat me up for saying this...but damn, its true. I believe ISU has 3 QB's on roster and one coming in next year as a freshman...who are all better players than Cade McNamara. I'm not trying to be arrogant or insulting, its just that this fact astounds.

A program like Iowa with 45 years of incredibly successful football, massive fan support, solid NIL money and a great reputation as a program...should have 2-3 very talented QB's on roster at ANY given time. QB's should be lined up to come play here...either through the NIL system or just general recruiting. How can a program of Iowa's caliber have...honestly...a continuous nightmare at that critical position for so many years running. Its absolutely astonishing.

I mean, if recruiting at QB hits a sour spot...which happens...how do you not scout, recruit, and bring in a genuine talent for that position? I don't get it. QB is so essential in modern football, and ANY teams ceiling is literally set by the talent at that one position...how is that not the TOP priority for the Iowa staff? I've SEEN Iowa when they have good QB play...they are scary tough to play...I still have Stanzi nightmares. Banks, Tate and many other good ones...but suddenly...just total failure. What the heck is going on at Iowa with its QB recruiting?

That kid will be a pro. He's raw having come over from playing WR...but he's 6'4 with good hips and is the fastest player on the team. Look into him...a true testament to persistence after not really seeing the field until his 5th year. Great kid.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

I thought about going to first game since Rose Bowl. Not a chance. I'm not paying to watch that shit.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Upon further review of this game, I’m convinced that at one certain point, the only way Iowa loses this game is to do the absolute worst thing possible each and every chance they got from that point forward.

And by gum they pulled it off.
