****official Iowa St vs Iowa game thread****

been drinking heavily since 2 PM because it was almost guaranteed we would see this kind of crap from Captain Oblivious and his merry band of ****ups and dumbasses.
 
Well Hawk fans.Do like me and start drinking heavily.If The Hawks manage to win great,if not.Well it's the usual Captain Kirk can't figure out the Clones.
I figured some passion and fire from all the bad things happening in Hawkeyeland this week.Looks like the same ole same ole.
I'll be happy to eat my words.
The defense has got to get some pressure on the quarterback or we have no chance

Running for a first down with 40 sec left is not terrible. Clock pauses to let them run the next play.

23 yard (not 40) fake FG with one second left is insane.
 
LOL at any idiot defending that call, that was one of the worst things ive ever seen

Had he gotten lucky and he got IN, i still would have laughed how hilariously dumb and bad that was

If you want to try something like that, dont run the clock down to 1 second. Now watch Iowa lose by 3 points.
LOL right back, neener neener.
 
For those defending the fake with 1 second left, obviously he wanted a td so why not take 2 shots at the end zone on 2nd and 3rd down?

How many goats, boars and newborn babies is Paul Rhoads going to eat at halftime? That guy is a freak and fits in perfectly with the mold that is ISU. They may be over taking us in football (still a 2 win Big 12 team) but their school and athletic system is still a joke filled with idiots.
 
I didn't defend the fake dumbo. It's a horrendous call when you need 30+ yards. At the same time, you cannot call timeout earlier and fake it. Anybody who thinks calling timeout earlier was viable is just as dumb as the staff!
You have to admit, calling the timeout with 35 seconds and NOT letting the clock run down before attempting a field goal would have been very consistent with Iowa's history of clock management.

The timeout was dumb. The call for a fake with no time left on the clock and asking your kicker to make a 30 yard run was dumber. And you are dumbest of all. Nice job with the "dumbo" blast, though--ouch.

Not stunning not baffling if you watch iowa v tx in alamo bowl and iowa v the world last three years total
 
I'm amazed that anyone still supports ferentz.
Wait till after the game when anyone who questions anything is ripped apart by several that have been complaining in this thread...it's hilarious hypocrisy at it's finest.

Now lets get some passion in the 2nd half and kick their asses

While your statement is true, it was stupid to not run out of a passing formation on third down. We telegraphed we were going to run, which meant that ISU switched from a pass defense to a run defense which allowed them to stuff us. You can run there, but you need to be showing pass.

Don't get butt hurt next time when you fail at reading comprehension. We're on the same page here and you're calling me an idiot.
 
Simple solution is for this staff to think of the play they want to call.....stop...... call the complete opposite play.
 
If Kirk wanted to run the trick play he could have called a TO much earlier. He could have even faked like he was bitching at a player or another coach to make it look like he wanted them to run the clock down then it wouldn't have been so obvious. Kirk will never change. He's going to make boneheaded play calling and among the worst clock management in the country. It's just not going to change until he retires or is fired.
 
Lol, yes they would've expected Kirk Ferentz to call a fake field goal for the 5th time in his career.............good call, chap.
You honestly don't think they watched our last game where he ran a fake and got a standing ovation? I'm sure it crossed their mind during game prep this week that Ferentz is desperate and likely to try more trick plays.
 
Ferentz does a lot of things right. But, in game decision making is a glaring weakness. Our program would be better if Ferentz delegated the in game management to someone else on his staff.

Lone Clone and cloneswithasigh and their brethren are like "durrr I'm fine with that, as long as we're better than Iowa........no, wait I'm suppose to act somewhat objectively and say that we don't support struggling in the Big 12. That will throw the Iowa fans off for sure!!!"

And the best part is they can't deny it. They'll either not respond or they'll just resort to insults of their own.
 
"I thought we could make it.". Kirk missed a great opportunity to troll us all. Should have dropped a "That's football."
