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

At this point I'm cringing every time Stanford gets the ball. This game needs to be over.
 
Everything we've done well this year is missing. Run, throw, catch, tackle, block. All gone.
 
It used to grind my gears constantly listening to the national narrative about how Iowa isn't built for big plays and playing fast, but now I see that was completely true. It's a sad realization, Iowa football will forever be known slow-but well coached.
Can we block a four man rush?

ok, why fire a coach after a 12 win season and one bad game.

It was a joke, clearly you haven't been around here much the last few years.
 
We will never play at an elite level. Totally convinced after this. Reality sucks
 
Yes, because I'm sure that Iowa fans would all be very familiar with all the cows on the Stanford campus, and would therefore in no way whatsoever think it a slight towards them and their way of living. And the Stanford students, being highly intelligent people, would be exceedingly aware of Iowa fans' familiarity with their campus.

Whatever, dude.
I saw something on facebook that the Stanford band announcers were making fun of Iowa during their halftime show, and the cow WAS a thinly veiled attack. Hence the booing from Iowa fans.
 
If Kevin Kastens was a team player, he'd bring the band back onto the field for the last 20 seconds of the 4th qtr. Then ESPN highlight reels will show that for the next century instead of any footage from this game.
 
38-0 Stanford with 7:47 left in the 3rd Qtr.

The worst beat downs in Rose Bowl History was the first one in 1902 with Michigan beating Stanford 49-0, and in 1948 with Michigan beating USC 49-0.

This record could go down tonight with Iowa being so inept.
 
Last year, I didn't feel like the team wanted to be there. This year, I really think this is a complete failure at the coaching level. Nobody on Iowa looks like they know what the f*** they are supposed to be doing out there. The defense looks lost, the offensive line has no idea who they are supposed to be blocking, and the tackling is so bad I'll almost be surprised if no investigation is launched after the game to make sure players weren't paid off.

I'm not calling for anyone to get fired for this, but the coaching staff better take full responsibility for this.
 
Things more exciting than the Iowa offense

I'm beginning to think the same. Even after an undefeated season. When you think that maybe we will begin to get the 4 and 5 stars. Then we have a game like this. And it's back to the same ole Iowa. Only good when Nebby and Wisky are not.
