How we feelin, boyz????
It’s a new era in Hawkeye Land!!! - FSU fan thread to discuss Hawkeye football

And with PSU, their pt total is far lower if Iowa's offense was competent. It's not an Iowa win, just something like a 17-7 or 21-10 loss.
Thank you for not blaming the PR call. I keep seeing people saying "*11-1, thanks refs" and I want to scream. Their offense played like ass most of the season, and even worse that game, that's why they lost to Minny. Same as 3 of their losses last year.
With even with a bad offense, last year they win 11 games, win the B1G West, get blown out by Michigan and play in a better bowl game. This year the beat Minny and would be top 10 in the CFP.
I really tried to watch soccer a few years ago around the world cup. I watched the better part of three games. It is not for me. It's boring.
Boring is a perspective i guess.
I think iowa football is boring the last few years, but especially this season. I have only watched 2 complete games this year (iowa state and northwestern). Didn’t watch the last two games (on the road during the illinois game and was not near a tv during the nebraska game) and feel like i didn’t miss anything.
They are just so frustrating to watch. Every other team uses their offense to try to score. Iowa uses their offense to get into position to allow the punter to put the other team into a position to make a mistake that their defense can take advantage of.
At times, no. There are times they are merely trying to get to Taylor and let the defense do something.
Given how other teams call plays in certain situations v how Iowa calls plays in the same situations, it's glaringly obvious. It's not every drive, or every play on a drive. But "minimize risk" is something inherent in KF's offensive philosophy and it's maddening.
Two things can be true.
1. Hawks probably deserved to lose with the way they played.
2. It was a BS call and should have been a TD
Absolutely. It was a horrible decision on the review. And...they shouldn't have been in a position where it mattered.
DeJean played in small school Iowa and was under the radar. No one scouts A and 1-A football in Iowa.
Lots of raw, moldable multi-sport athletes in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas. The Dakota schools are FCS powerhouses largely because there are so many overlooked prospects who become great players.
Iowa golf course offering free beer until Hawkeyes score against Michigan in Big Ten championship
The Iowa Hawkeyes aren't known for their offense this season. Fans at one golf course can take advantage of that during the Big Ten championship game.
Thank you for the link. I was planning to sync the XM broadcast while watching the Fox video. I can't spend 3 1/2 hours listening to Gus and Joel.
The guy who saved the touchdown (#4) was the gunner on the punt and started back the other way from the 5 yd line after falling down
This is the first time I’ve listened to Eddie and Dolph while watching with the tv on mute. Holy shit, I didn’t realize how bad Dolph is. On almost every play he gets the spot and the down and distance wrong by at least a yard. And at the end of the 1st quarter he stated that Iowa had 62 yards of total offense while Michigan had 35, when in fact it was the opposite.

If only we had a below average offense instead of the worst offense....

Michigan was clearly the better team and deserved to win. But the replay review that gifted Michigan their second touchdown was inexplicably bad. Even if you think Hill's arm was not already moving forward when the ball was knocked loose, the whistle blew before Michigan recovered the ball. You cannot overturn the call on the field based on something that happened after the play was already blown dead. It was completely inexcusable to give the ball to Michigan.
Cooper would have made that tackle. #4 KE also got called for an illegal block in the back on a 30 yard PR. He got pulled as he should have for such a poor game.
Liverpool FC match today vs Fulham is more exciting than the hawkeye game in wrigley. liverpool getting the levelling goal at the 87th minute and the go ahead goal in the 88th to get a 4-3 win if the score holds in added time.
