*****Iowa vs Tennessee Game Thread*****

[IAHUNTER]

I already know y'all are going to make fun of me, but I have to ask one last time...

Does a human exist that Kirk trusts and respects enough that he might hand them the offense and let them run it however they want?

KF knows a ton of people in this business.. I'm not saying we could land that person, but does that person exist?

NO!!!!!°

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Same and been fighting that urge to nap. Got Taco Bell at 10:45 this AM. And NO I am not proud of myself.

It needed to be done though Butters!🤪 Just don’t make a return visit…haha

 

[dogs rule]

At least it’s an SEC scout team cooking us and not some 10 win team playing at home like Memphis.

FIFY

Nope. Not a single miniscule chance in hell.

Deacon Hill getting every single snap since he took over for McNamara answers that question as loud and clear as in any other way possible.

 

[MitchLL]

If Deacon has any self pride, he'll take himself out of the game.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

Thing is Marco is supposedly mobile. That in and of itself gives the kid a chance to make plays compared to Hill. Or at the very least to come in for a couple scripted plays to take advantage of the mobility.

Any way you slice it the situation is perplexing to put it mildly

Both he and labas way more mobile. You can’t tell me they are any more inaccurate or careless with the ball than Hill.

 

[luvmyhawks]

I just can’t understand why we aren’t giving another qb a chance. I just don’t get it.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

I may be sitting in a VRBO in Arizona, but I’m looking for a rake to take care of the yard right now…

 

[BubsFinn]

you might be surprised, iowa might turn this thing around 187 degrees in the second half... ha ha who am I kidding ?

I would be very surprised.

 

[cidsports]

So isn't Reliaquest Bowl lesser than Citrus bowl? What went into Tennessee being chosen over LSU?

LSU was in Citrus last season.

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[Hans81]

Throw a pass over ten yards please. What will it hurt at this point

Exactly…maybe you’ll get a pass interference?

 

[OILCHECKER]

We haven’t scored since the second quarter of Nebraska!?

Pretty sure we kicked a fg as time expired at the end of the 4th quarter

 

[Franisdaman]

my god x 2.

 

[HawkLogic]

Deacon Hill 4/11 29 yds 1 int

Almost ANY other CFB team goes with the backup in the second half….given the consistent ineptitude of the starter.

He should have been 6/11 considering 2 Kaleb drops. If you count the UT interception, then 7/11.

 

[PBhawkeye]

Gavin DeGraw is an amazing talent, for those who still want to get something out of today

 

[2D_]

Muting the radio for the second half. I'll have the game on in the background, but I have better things to do right now than watch this offense fail. I have to pack for a move coming up in a few weeks.

Going to put on some MXC if anyone remembers that hilarious show.

 

[BonzoFury]

phil parker’s crew has again disappointed with zero points scored and 14 given up in a half.

The funny/sad thing about this is KFz will probably have words to that effect. We just couldn't contain them...etc. He'll talk about "both sides of the ball" and glaze over the offensive ineptitude.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

If Deacon has any self pride, he'll take himself out of the game.

The dude is living the dream. Starting on a power 5 team when he should be in NAIA

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Both he and labas way more mobile. You can’t tell me they are any more inaccurate or careless with the ball than Hill.

There are some…but they don’t remain starters

And????? Brian told everyone before the game that Hill is a good QB and is going the distance and that there are NO packages for Lainez.

And that was a garbage time touchdown

 

[HawK + i]

FIFY

Iowa is clearly the scout team, not Tennessee.

 

[Tom Paris]

It’s also gross how much improved Wisconsin looks against LSU and we look like the first day of spring practice. I really wish Kirk would retire. More of the same crap next year. Practically guaranteed.

Hes always throwing the D under the bus to gloss over the offense ineptitude

Same thoughts that like 80% of this board have said repeatedly.

 

[BioHawk]

At this point, Kirk can't put in another qb under the off chance that the QB comes in and actually produces. Because the conversation won't be about how Iowa made a great comeback with a freshmen QB, it will be "What the f**k took you so long to make the change and why did you wait until the 2nd half of a meaningless bowl game to do it?" A back up coming in and producing is a worst case scenario for the Ferentz's right now. It will actually be better for them to just lose.

 

[HawkRose]

At some point KF completely loses the team down this path

 

[hahkize]

3 points in the last 8 quarters

That's on Phil Parker

 

[Hans81]

Padding your win column with weak B10 teams is a huge part of this Ferentz charade.

Lol…not true.

 

[ichawks]

I just can’t understand why we aren’t giving another qb a chance. I just don’t get it.

Win or lose Kirk will go down giving fans the middle finger.

 

[HawkBall23]

Tennessee scores another TD here on their opening drive, and I'll have had enough this caring shit.

I'll let the game play on the TV, but I'll spending more time mocking everything Iowa fball than actually sitting here hoping for anything good happening.

 

[desihawk]

there is some truth to the lamentation. the D has all star coaches and all star players. the O has dumb and dumber. so of course one expects more.

 

[ichawks]

Lol…not true.

It kind of is….

 

[Chishawk1425]

KF excusing away Hill...LOL

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

He should have been 6/11 considering 2 Kaleb drops. If you count the UT interception, then 7/11.

Fair.

He still needs the sit.

 

[WaterTower]

Ferentz blaming everyone but Hill. Lol

 

[Tom Paris]

Kirk is delusional.
