F*CK IOWA
- Thread starter FallOf81
- Start date
The funny thing is this situation for most offenses is very doable. But for Iowa’s offense under BF, it would be the equivalent of having to go 99 yards in 20 seconds.
ON THE DAY AFTER....JFC, it wasn't a nuclear bomb that went off.
Hawkeye Stadium/Duke Slater Field does look like it got hit with something.
Ohhhh wait. That is just all the empty beer cans and water bottles the Iowa fans threw.
This is what happens when you:
*pander to the audience for 40+ years
*are afraid of pissing off the people who control your access
*hire fanboys to serve as beat writers

Meaningless game affected by correct call.

What I find funny is that everyone is saying that refs screwed them out of a win. Even if the refs screwed them, they only screwed them out of a 17-12 lead with 1:21 left. There is no guarantee that Iowa wouldn’t have screwed up the last 81 seconds.
It boggles my mind that it’s now Monday morning, and Iowa fans and sports media/journalists still don’t understand this simple ruling on the punt return. It isn’t complicated folks.
The officials got the call absolutely correct.

They've fully lost their minds. Between this and the one guy claiming it's unfair to take back a really cool play and it should just be a 15 yard penalty tells you all you need to know.
To me, there's good reason for the rule to exist. You put the onus on the defender to not hit someone who has called a fair catch. Heck, you had the play earlier in the game where they got flagged when DeJean stuck his arm out and pushed the defender. But if you are going to require defenders to not hit someone who has called a fair catch, then you have to strictly enforce anything that looks like a fair catch. Otherwise you've really made it unfair to the defending team.
Don't throw an interception and Iowa still had a good chance to win the game
I think a lot of them don’t read and/or understand nuances. I’ve seen a lot of “the hand wasn’t above the shoulders so it shouldn’t have been called a fair catch”, and then when the response is that’s correct, it was an invalid fair catch signal…then they’re like “exactly” (not caring to understand that the net result is same…ball is placed at that spot). And of course the 3rd thing you see is the whole reference to the penalty…and “why didn’t they throw the flag and stop the play if it was a penalty?”.
It’s kind of baffling that you could spend so much time angry at the result and not try to fully understand the why.
Veteran QB with winning experience and some poise/vision probably contributed. That loss definitely sucks, but Iowa is not the same team today that that they were six weeks ago

A big Brian Ferentz means you will be sitting on the pooper for 3 hours hoping for something to happen and it never will. Just a bunch of farting around and trying to force things out. Good luck!
Had to listen to KXNO morning rush this morning to hear the hawkeye tears once more, so yummy, the unfathomable tears of sadness, yummy yum
Best part is they get to live with that lasting thought for 2 straight weeks with a Bye Week.
that’s because you can’t argue with stupid.
remember the majority of thei fan base. LOLbut with 2 losses they will not be in the playoffs for the chance to win the national title
