****Offficial Granddaddy of them all Iowa vs. Stanford Rosebowl game thread****

Not to make excuses, but it's obviously the Rose Bowl is a bowl game like no other, with all the festivities going on leading up to it, and Stanford has been in this game recently and it looks like they've figured out how to balance dealing with those festivities and focusing on the game as well. Rose Bowl "experience" has helped them tremendously.
some of you really need to quit with the excuse making. We don't get beat playing the P12 because we ate too much prime rib, surfed too much or partied w/ tom Arnold. We got our asses handed to us...again...because we actually played a real team. we ventured out of the Midwest & played on the road & left our security blanket. KF learned this from Hayden. Never play outside Kinnick unless you have to. You will be more competitive on the road in the B10 due to familiarity. We get our asses handed to us in these games because we are simply playing better teams. The nice guy stuff gets thrown out the window on bowl day. It comes down to talent. We don't have it. What you need to realize is this...we haven't had it all year.
 
Will Shaw call the dogs off at half?

Or will Kirk just sneak the team out of the locker room and catch an early flight home?
 
Huge talent gap between Iowa's program and elite programs. Innovative plays, top tier recruiting and great coaching. We can compete with second tier programs but USC and Stanford expose these huge gaps.
 
Looking at tweets, I've never seen more fans obsessed with Iowa than Tennessee fans. They do nothing but talk about us.

We might be the first Rose Bowl that ESPN switches over to another game or World Series of Poker reruns.

USC just lost to Wisconsin.
 
Not ready for prime time in talent, coaching, execution...

Miracle to win 12 games...

Tldr
 
Love all the haters. Iowa is having a bad game, but you can't take the whole season away from them.

I love my hawks, but this is an epic beat down. What outsiders are saying is a lot worse. Everyone has to deal with this beat down in their own way.
 
Don't ever remember a more embarrassing Iowa performance.. EVER
