*****Official New Era Pinstripe Bowl: Boston College Eagles VS. Iowa Hawkeyes Game Thread*****

[DougFHawkeye]

I would just like everyone to stop pretending we know as much as the coaches. Which is not to say the coaches know what they are doing.

Who knows, maybe people will stop pretending when the other side stops pretending?

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

We need J Jackson to get a pick six.

They will not throw his way! Why? They have the game where they want it.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Right. You and others, including the "motivation" poster are guessing what the problem is.

That's what message boards are for, kinda...right?

 

[speed4power]

Totally agree. If Norm were still running the show this wouldn't be happening. Anyone else notice how poorly we've played in our bowl games since he retired? Coincidence? I think not.

I think it has more to do with Iowa consistantly not being as good as our record indicates. We have a soft OOC schedule and with the exception of this year have had weak conference schedules too. So we end up getting in bowl games that are over our head.

 

[Eternal Return]

Which announcer is worse? The black guy from Boston College or the Southern white guy from the Waffle House?

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Are there other players on the field or not? Makes a difference in my answer.

Yes

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Missing Alaric Jackson is a BIG deal

Fvk him! Whatever this dumbazz did is costing this team. 85 guys work hard and 1 jackoff fvks it up. Two guys getting beat now and its all on Jackson!

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Has anybody mentioned this field sucks?

 

[Eternal Return]

Man, Iowa should have had Wadley returning kicks all year. *shakes head*

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Iowa's thin roster really showing itself today.

How many key pieces is BC missing today, including OL, LB, and they're playing their backup QB?

Guess the "thin roster" "injury" "suspension" "missing pieces" excuse only goes one way.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

I hate this offense!

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Running to the short side....awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Eternal Return]

Jim Reid is schooling Brian Ferentz.

Does the risk outweigh the reward?

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

Wow - Coaches have no faith in #4 - how 'bout some simple plays? Screens

 

[spiderland]

Wow, you can’t play football on this sh*t...

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

2nd and 13, run.

2nd and 12, run.

 

[Eternal Return]

Does the risk outweigh the reward?

I'd say so. Hell, think of the field position boost Iowa would have had.

 

[Sett1997]

Throw the freaking ball.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Is this BC or Wisconsin?

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Take them by surprise and punt on 3rd down...good grief

 

[iahawks10]

Good job offense.

 

[Franisdaman]

honestly think the Detroit bowl is a better bowl than this one; never thought I would say that

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

Wow - Coaches have no faith in #4 - how 'bout some simple plays? Screens

#4 needs to be benched. We can't do any worse.

 

[ANYCHawk]

Stanley gonna Stanley

 

[Eternal Return]

Another crap punt for less than 30 yards.

 

[takai]

I blinked and they already have the ball back.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

0/5 third downs

 

[iahawks10]

Has anybody mentioned this bowl sucks?

Fixed it

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Not any better

 

[IaHawks03]

Might as well play hockey on this field

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

At least the score is familiar.

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

This field sucks - just toss some simple circle routes (I prefer the screens)

 

[ANYCHawk]

never thought I would say that

Well since you said it 45 mintues ago, I can believe it.

 

[spiderland]

If BC figures out a way to somehow lose this game, would be the epic fail of epic fails...

 

[Crazy Hawk]

So much for the hope a halftime adjustment was to isolate Iowa’s strength in the passing game (tight ends) on their beat up linebackers.

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

Our offense is pure garbage.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

I blinked and they already have the ball back.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting dif.....oh never mind.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Another crap punt for less than 30 yards.

It was 34, but at least didn’t hit the long snapper in the back.

 

[iahawks10]

Iowa's starting field position avg - own 44 yd line.

A normal offense’s dream.
