***Official Iowa vs North Texas Game Thread ***

[Rustys Dad]

I guess this is why we aren't ranked ...

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

North Texas - 14 Iowa - 10

HALF

North Texas gets the ball to start

 

[takai]

While the refs are pure garbage, Iowa is playing like shit.

But don't worry, ****ing Kirk will still cash his paychecks.

 

[desihawk]

Didn't we beat them 62-10 not too long ago?

But that time the refs were on our side.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

What a garbage officiating crew. These guys shouldn't be allowed to work a high school game.

 

[Urohawk]

These refs are giving the 2006 Outback Bowl refs a run for their money.

Would have never thought possible, but you may be totally correct.

 

[BubsFinn]

Why in God's name do you catch a kickoff RIGHT BY THE SIDELINE? Let it go out of bounds and get the ball on the 35 you IDIOT!

 

[luvmyhawks]

This what you get after making fun of Nebraska. We are about to lose to a team that hasn't beat a power 5 team on the road in18 years. Embarrassing.

 

[bhelm22]

I hope we break 9s leg in the 2nd half

Would have been the 50 actually

 

[CF_93]

Worst officiating crew since Outback Bowl vs Florida, January 2006! If memory serves, was that not C-USA crew as well?

 

[TJHawkeye]

Refs ARE responsible for several bad calls. How is tackling a QB by the leg while he is still active with the ball a penalty?

 

[HawkLogic]

AJ needs to be on the field.

I normally like Phil Parker but this defense he has rolled out here is a POS. N. Texas and ISU have exposed his defense. He needs to rethink what he is doing.

 

[HawkGem11]

You all need to chill on the refs. The refs aren't at fault for us showboating. The refs aren't responsible for a few overthrows. The refs aren't responsible for Iowa defense not putting pressure on anyone. It's Iowa's choice on whether or not they want to win this game

# REF SHOW = CLOWN SHOW IDIOTS want NT to win

 

[MitchL]

We're relegated to blaming the refs in a game where the HAWKEYES continue to play down to the level of the competition .
This is a VERY average team.

 

[TheRealHerky]

When we have to score 3 TDs for one to count, and the clown college refs decide they want to be a factor, upsets can happen.

 

[ChiHawk1985]

There's an entire half of football left and we're down 4. Should we be, no, but its 4 points not 44

 

[JoelBittner]

Just got a text . . . coaches are showing NDSU highlights in the locker room right now

 

[Burbank84]

This has been a coaching mismatch -- Seth Littrell and his staff coaching circles around KF and his staff.

Phil Parker's scheme is straight out of the 1980s -- unfortunately, it is 2017. Zero blitzes, no pressure, LBs on slot receivers.

 

[SondyRules]

Refs taking points off the board. Gifting the Lean Green that last drive. Garbage half.

 

[CradleKing26]

Yup.

Have there been some poor calls? Yes, but refs don't make overthrows, miss tackles and not cover receivers.

Can't disagree. Iowa is absolutely pathetic right now. This one s an awful team that Iowa is losing to. AWFUL. What a shit show.

If anyone has their addresses, I recommend sending a nice gift to these officials

Nah, Hawks will take control in the 2nd half.

 

[bhelm22]

Ah Cubs are up 2-0, that's good for my overall health

 

[speed4power]

Just got a text . . . coaches are showing NDSU highlights in the locker room right now

HAHAHA you serious?

 

[like-woahh]

Hawks should just come out of the 1/2 with their hair on fire and put a stamp on this one. Piss on officials, just come out and dominate. Oline and Parker need to wake the hell up and come out and put them down.

 

[desihawk]

Which locker room?

"About to lose"? Control your estrogen, everybody.

Okay.

 

[MitchL]

We were laughing at Nebraska and tonite, win or lose, America might be laughing at Iowa.
What a pathetic effort from the entire team.

 

[Capital1Hawk]

Time for the gym know how this game will end. More bs calls from refs. They want to control the game. F them

 

[dawgs_04]

Why in God's name do you catch a kickoff RIGHT BY THE SIDELINE? Let it go out of bounds and get the ball on the 35 you IDIOT!

No time left. It's kickoff return or bust that late in the half

You can't be serious, the refs just gave them that last touchdown. Iowa may be able to overcome North Texas but if the 2nd half is called like the 1st, all bets are off.

 

[F6n6]

yah... I think its right to criticize refs...
I think they should have to give an account after every game.
how are we to know they aren't fixing this game?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Yes, but how many times have we seen this in KF's tenure. I remember during the Fry years games like this never being on question.

That's the major difference between Fry and Ferentz. Fry would pound teams into submission. Kirk expects every game to be close like the NFL and the team plays like it.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Yup.

Have there been some poor calls? Yes, but refs don't make overthrows, miss tackles and not cover receivers.

But they can take away touchdowns.............

 

[Dauminator]

Both are true. Hawks playing like garbage and the refs are reffing like garbage. What Wadley did isn't showboating. You're allowed to tackle people. It's like they're seeing this Big Ten stadium as their stage to show how great they are at finding any tiny issue and penalizing.

 

[iowaathletes]

Refs gifted two back to back penalties that put them in great field position. They wouldn't have got 7 points, don't blame the Iowa D or coaches for those two plays blame the ref's.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

35-3 in the 2nd half, let's go
