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

Well, Penn St. tickets are getting more affordable by the minute.

I've always been a silver lining/glass half full type of guy.

 

[ANYCHawk]

Corn shot! Everybody drink!

North Texas winning the LOS, let that sink in.

 

[Urohawk]

Old article but looks like roughing the passer was the appropriate call (if of course you want to ignore the holding call).

[Rustys Dad]

Why should we bring pressure? We'll probably just get flagged for it.

Well ... okay .. good point

 

[anon_01irjibf16qqj]

Yep, looks like you guys are in full melt down mode in here..

 

[like-woahh]

obligatory cornfield shot

 

[JoelBittner]

It's time to have a debate that matters . . . what do y'all think of the new Dos Equis "Most interesting man in the world"? . . . by comparison I think he sucks. Which means he'll probably be our next President

 

[VodkaSam]

Kicking game strong.

[Rustys Dad]

Well Iowa coaches ... This is where you make your money ... You don't let a 1-1 NORTH TEXAS team compete with you on the field.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Rip their stinking heads off!

That'd probably be a penalty

 

[iahawks10]

True. IDK this half was weird. Maybe he thought AJ just fell so then tried to tackle him instead of being pushed

You don't make calls on what you think happened. You make calls on what you know happened.

Thinking is how you end up with overturning TDs when you can't see where the ball is at.

mommy

edit: those were PP's words after the first 3 plays of the 2nd half.

If we are holding back some top secret defensive plays for next week, might want to think of busting them out a week early pretty soon.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Ugh, obvious hold on NT not called. What is going on? I don't want to blame the officials, but I am starting to wonder if the fix is in.

 

[takai]

NT making first downs look easy. Oh boy.

 

[desihawk]

pic?

Those were Phil Parker's words. You'll have to text him.

 

[And1Hawk]

Play the nickel and dime!!!!'

 

[Rustys Dad]

This same North Texas team lost to SMU 54-32!!

 

[like-woahh]

Does this defense have any different look other than rush 4 and sit back

 

[ANYCHawk]

There's no fix. These guys just suck

 

[And1Hawk]

Just abusing slow LBs

 

[desihawk]

These refs are squeezing the life out of this game

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I find myself holding my breath after every flag

 

[Rustys Dad]

Gee ... see what happens when you GET PRESSURE ON THE QB!!!???

 

[BubsFinn]

Surprised that wasn't called incomplete.

 

[HawkIDrummer]

Prepare to read the phrase "Iowa's worst home loss in XX years" next week. It's going to be ugly.

 

[VodkaSam]

ok. Good series there

 

[Urohawk]

That should be roughing the passer! Hit the poor guy without giving a warning he was behind him.

 

[like-woahh]

I can't remember the last time I saw a sideline warning, let alone 3 in one game. These officials are prudish dickheads

 

[desihawk]

Josh had to force that flag.

 

[Rustys Dad]

Watch our DLine ... just lots of hand fighting ... with no pressure ...

 

[ANYCHawk]

Prepare to read the phrase "Iowa's worst home loss in XX years" next week. It's going to be ugly.

I don't think this makes the top 3

 

[M3 ME PLEASE]

Lol at then taking awhile to throw the flag there

 

[takai]

This same North Texas team lost to SMU 54-32!!

SMU = the Bama killer?

 

[Chewback]

Corn shot! Everybody drink!

Damn! Missed it! I was out buying more whiskey. I'll penalize myself an extra shot. No Wait! Two shots! Big ones.

 

[GPRHAWK]

College football may not be able to recover from this game

 

[MWardT]

Not really. That shit has to stop. Time for the kid to grow up.

No. By that logic every time a player crosses the goal line and does a sprinter finish it should be a flag. Just no.

 

[And1Hawk]

Watch our DLine ... just lots of hand fighting ... with no pressure ...

Agree does anyone teach a swim or rip move ???? It's all this stupid hand combat and how hard is that to block. Penetration is what blows up plays.
