******Official Iowa at Northwestern Game Thread******

[Hawkfan5220]

I really really don't understand Fitzgerald's rationale. Plenty of time and our D is tired. Geez.

 

[Franisdaman]

last OT game vs N'western, didn't their QB win the game while at the same time blowing his achilles tendon?

 

[21Husker1984]

WTF was Fitz doing there?

 

[speed4power]

That was some horseshit playcalling by the NW staff not trying to pick up the game winning fg. Normally that's what Iowa would do.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Kirk SHOULD call timeout...too late now, but should have.

PU$$!Y coaching by both teams....just painful coaching by the dean's of the big ten.... Hot Garbage

 

[hwks4ever]

Lol, nice call on the false start and longer FG. Thankfully you were wrong about the kick.

Technically he never said he would miss the kick. He just said we would lose...

 

[Sett1997]

NW fans feel our pain. Lol. Wth Fitrkirkerick. Lol

 

[Hawkeye3087]

WTF. That made no sense

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Mmm, yeah fist pump by Fat Pat. Hes got a chance to beat Iowa. Mmm. More fist pumps.

Seriously, not a single one of you can convince me to ever root for Fat Pat. I don't give a f*** what you Iowa fans like in him. Not a single f***. F*** that guy.

Thank you.

 

[21Husker1984]

Honestly was rooting for Northwestern against you guys but now I'm hoping you guys smoke their ass in OT. What the hell was that Fitz?

 

[TDJ7]

Pretty sure Beth Mowins transitioned to a Man and is calling this game today.

 

[Eternal Return]

Kirk SHOULD call timeout...too late now, but should have.

I'm not sure there's a good coach on either sideline. Not today, anyway. I swear, this is like the worst qualities of both teams, players and coaches. It's embarrassing.

 

[Franisdaman]

The refs really really blew that false start call. Northwestern was flat out cheating. Kid should be ejected

i missed that; what did they do that was illegal?

 

[HawkLogic]

Fitzgerald must think that his QB was due for INT. Iowa defense would have been in prevent and ripe to lose the game. Thank you Fitzgerald.

 

[bagdropper]

 

[destro72]

Neither team wants to win.

 

[texhawk88]

This feels more like 2 coaches trying to win against each other and less about the teams trying to win.

What egos.

 

[BioHawk]

They must get tired of playing well. Closes games are too much fun....NOT

Close games when both teams play well are fun. This is garbage.

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

Mmm, yeah fist pump by Fat Pat. Hes got a chance to beat Iowa. Mmm. More fist pumps.

Seriously, not a single one of you can convince me to ever root for Fat Pat. I don't give a f*** what you Iowa fans like in him. Not a single f***. F*** that guy.

Thank you.

People like him?

 

[ExiledHawk]

wind was the reason they ran out the clock. If they go three passes and out we get the ball back with time for a really long field goal. That last one with the wind would have been good from 65 yards

 

[Hawkfan_08]

The refs really really blew that false start call. Northwestern was flat out cheating. Kid should be ejected

I thought that's what they were upset about.

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

WTF JUST HAPPENED. THANKS PAT

 

[Letsgohawks411]

Fitz just out-Ferentzed Ferentz! 90 seconds and two timeouts and basically take a knee?!?!?

 

[HawkLogic]

why isn't Wadley a captain? Players or KF?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

This sets up for a late Northwestern score where we all complain about the defense instead of the heard of elephants in the room.

No, football is a 60 minute game. Just because the defense played well for 58 minutes doesn't excuse them for crapping their pants at the end via Penn State.

 

[IAHWKGUY]

Technically he never said he would miss the kick. He just said we would lose...

Well, I guess you are right. I hope he is wrong on that account.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

why isn't Wadley a captain? Players or KF?

Iowalaw? Can we get a ruling?......

 

[Eternal Return]

Neither team likes to use their kickers and neither team can gain any yards. So, will we see each team fail to score in the first OT? There should Vegas odds on that one.

 

[desihawk]

How Phil Parker stays sane i cant imagine...

 

[Sett1997]

In other news ISU rolling 31-13

 

[JoelBittner]

This is one terrible game.

Just 25 more years of this pop-warner crap and we're done (yes I'm including Brian's tenure as HC)

 

[hwks4ever]

Is fitz paid by the hour?

 

[Johnsoda123]

Where is Wadley?

 

[BubsFinn]

Not grounding?

 

[takai]

No Grounding?

Smell that home cookin’

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

How Phil Parker stays sane i cant imagine...

Yep... Just keep carrying the team

 

[nitewing]

my 1st time complaining about any one coach, but really running into the teeth of a defense that has sold out to stop Wadley, is there a rule forbidding Iowa from Running the ball outside? that I am aware of?

 

[takai]

That was the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen

 

[Hawktagonapus]

We are so bad at tackling.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

LOLz

 

[Eternal Return]

Jesus, I think every single Hawkeye missed a tackle on that play.
