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

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Stanford can rip your helmet off?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

No flag? Ripped his helmet off? wtf

 

[larrygreenwallswildride]

No imagination or urgency on offense for sure. Sad. Sad. And tired.

 

[b10fn]

Wadley actually has speed to compete with Stanford

We have a winner! See previous complaints of KF. McCann>Banks, Christianson>Stanzi, Rudock>Beathard, Weisman>anyone, etc...etc...etc. None of these guys played as they didn't know the playbook (we have the most basic offense in college football), they can't block (made up excuse), they don't practice well (another made up excuse). Meanwhile, the rest of the US plays true freshman that have been on campus for just a few days....

 

[Sett1997]

Hand to helmet penalty?

No chance of them calling that. Almost ripped his head off.

 

[HawkLogic]

How does the helmet come off with no one grabbing his helmet? Iowa OL took it off?

 

[Chewback]

These f'ing idiots just want to keep running the ball

It's about the only thing we can do. Receivers aren't even trying to get open.

 

[BigHawksFan]

I was going to DVR this. But I remembered every time I DVR a game, my team loses. So I didn't DVR it.

I hoped that would matter.

 

[HawK + i]

I've resorted to praying for a first down, so I don't have to hear them gush about McCaffrey anymore.

 

[percyland]

You guys are complaining about penalties, like they matter anymore.

 

[HawkLogic]

Does McCaffery have force field? Cole fischer?

 

[TonyTheTiger.1865]

WTF happened to the defense?

 

[laidbackdude2011]

Anyone still want Ferentz back next year? How much of this crap should Hawk fans endure??

I'll entertain you for a sec. So let's just say he isn't back. Who will we have? Who is a viable and realistic candidate. No one.

KF is a good coach. However I do think that we need a change. Unfortunately after this season there's little justification for it. Arguably our best season ever, a coach at a school like ours is here until he decides to leave.

 

[Michael1969]

About the only reason to keep McCaffrey in now is for the record books.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I just can't believe the no call on CJB getting his helmet ripped off. Can we get ONE break?

 

[thirdandpunting]

Cool story

 

[MepoDawg#]

Maybe the band will play well at half.

 

[Etalicus]

Classic big bowl game from our coach great season poor finish

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Stanford up 35-0 and throwing it 50 yards and we throw 5 yard dump passes? Makes sense

 

[TonyTheTiger.1865]

The Stanford offense looks like a Varsity team toying with a JV defense.

 

[MepoDawg#]

No reason to not throw 4 deep passes.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Is this team going to show some guts? Stanford is looking to embarrass you... throwing deep when up 35-0...

 

[HawkLogic]

Without some help from Stanford (turnovers) , not going to happen...

It is impossible for Iowa to outplay Stanford by 35 pts in 2nd half. Obviously we are hoping stanford calls off the dogs in 2nd half and we score some meaningless points. Hayden was master of that in previous Rose Bowls.

 

[SeattleHawki]

This is exactly what we wanted... spot them 5 touchdowns to set up the biggest comeback in rose bowl history. One for the ages fellas. Go Hawks!

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Tim dwight wears #5 and plays for stanford

 

[HawkLogic]

take a knee.

 

[blakeopowell]

T

Who was the dumb a$$ that started the game thread a day early that jinxed us?

Yep! That's what it is.

Hayden never had this big of a hole to dig out of. Even with Harmon throwing a game.

I agree now, I was saying that hoping Iowa could get at least one score in the 1st half

 

[Southern_PSU_Lion]

Brutal.....you're supposedly never as bad as your worst loss, nor as good as your best victory, but ....damn!....amazing when BIG teams lay an egg...,,they really excel at it....

 

[CGCy]

Wrong KF is 6-6 before today in bowl games.

Same record he has against ISU.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Refs not notice he was 3 yards past the line, when throwing that? We catch a break!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I just can't believe the no call on CJB getting his helmet ripped off. Can we get ONE break?

And Palmer is like "that's a good no call"........

Apparently a defensive player grabbing a QBs face mask and pulling it off is a good no call.

 

[GenericHawk]

Wrong, besides today the defense was much better this year thus winning close games, mostly linebackers.

So you're saying the defense that is on the field today is a good defense? How do you explain the difference? MSU's offense isn't that great and they still managed to march down the field and drive it down our throats to win the game.

 

[Sett1997]

Big Kirk. Give him 8 million a year.

 

[HawK + i]

Does Stanzi/McNutt have any eligibility left? Or our entire 2009 defense?

 

[BioHawk]

Even the refs are feeling sorry for Iowa. Bethard was three yards past the line of scrimage on that.

 

[Michael1969]

Palmer alluded to it some, Iowa ran 40 plays in the 1st half & Stanford 25. Yet Stanford has twice as much yardage 250 to 123.

 

[CP84]

McCaffrey is great but much of this is horrendous tackling. Meier had himy dead to rights once and just whiffed.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Took a knee? BS. Where is the "PRIDE" in that

 

[thirdandpunting]

Big Kirk. Give him 8 million a year.

20 year extension

 

[MepoDawg#]

Same record he has against ISU.

Good one, except we have 1 QB with as many bowl wins as your team has ever.
