It is still a Hawkeye State

Has anyone done a wellness check on 1976 and Twins? As well as on their dogs? Little worried there.

Weird game, per usual. Teams looked pretty evenly matched. Surprised ISU's DL didn't get more heat on Stanley, our OL played solid.

Same for ISU's Oline, really. Iowa's stud (forget the name-- #94?) didn't get crazy but did start to get around the ball more late.

ISU's dline got out of their lanes a lot it looked. That was a strength just a year ago so hopefully they can hone thst back in.

Best team won

@CyTwins I'm just glad you're still alive

My body hurts today. That was a long long day tailgating

It was more of a talent issue in your secondary than schematics

Or injuries necessitated playing Young guys with almost zero experience. Credit to Purdy though with the play action fake and dime he dropped.

The refs were the difference. I wonder how much they got paid.

Don't kid yourself, they'd still come to our games. It's amazing how many d-bag Hawk fans in Hawk gear I see in Jack Trice when ISU is playing other teams.... and yes, they stand up and cheer when the other team scores on ISU. Just the worst d-bags ever.

But it's nice they spend their hard earned money to support ISU's athletic department when Iowa isn't even playing ISU.

Very true. It’s surprising how much of that I see at our other games

Grabbing a fistfull of jersey isn’t holding these days? Interesting.

Crazy that those guys with a reserve towel boy starting at corner were able to limit that offense to 17.

How did Jackson, Merriweather, and Hankins do last night in your opinion btw?

You ever leave the midwest bro. Yes, you are mocking a traditionally African american style of hair. A style that many of our players also have. While mocking those things may be cool where you're from I can assure you it doesnt run well in African American communities.

Actually no, that isn’t a style most of our players have. Also I’m not your bro.

I remember when Rhoads couldn't recruit quality depth too. It sucked

Buddy it may be time to log off lol

Lol you really think that was deserving of a flag? Cmon. ISU held Epenesa on a no call in the first quarter. You don't have to be a homer to admit good or bad calls

Well Merriweather is awful and Hankins looked terrible week one (I didn't see week two). Jackson and Newell being out were big injuries though

Not sure what you're watching. DE got double teamed and dominated and fell. Complete BS call.

???? What are you watching he was lit up by knipfel and no, a fist full of jersey while engaged is not holding even in HS leagues. Have you ever been around football?

Any worries going forward only putting up 17 on a secondary without one awful and another terrible player which were replaced by even worse players? I’m pretty sure there were two walkons at safety for a handful of plays on one drive. Yikes

 

[BCClone]

Big ten refs, no letter this time.

 

[Hawkize31]

Looks like the holding call was bad, that sucks. ISU got to do the play over and couldn't convert. Then ISU was gifted 90 seconds to go 40 yards to win the game with a FG and blew it. If you want to remember this game as a screwjob, have at it, but the number of ISU self inflicted wounds is much more of a deciding factor than poor officiating, and thats what most people will remember about this game, not 1 phantom holding penalty during the longest game ever.
