Bump for @iahawks since they’re still posting in this thread.

It wasn’t even a bad call or the right / wrong call. It was just the call made on the field because there was a flood of guys in the area which blocked the view. It’s bad luck.
I’d be blaming my fullback for getting the ball punched out.
Get off their asses. Their own media, who have affinity for Kirk and Brian’s grundles, are turning on them. To see these trolls stay and fight the good fight is truly noble. Never surrender toolbags!!!!!
You’re actually right here. Telling the fanbase that’s what they should actually be mad about. Not the fact that Iowa is on pace to have the worst offense since 2002-2003.
I still wish they'd quit playing the Cy-Hawk game, in all sports.
Iowa fans and media are the worst..... and the coaches now are even blaming any loss to ISU on officials or who knows what else? And ISU fans risk getting hit by full beer cans or batteries attending these games. It's not a fun game at all for most that attend.... just ask them. I know a lot of people that sell their tickets to the ISU-Iowa game when in Ames every time..... they just don't want to attend anymore.

Oh please. This is what makes sports fun. I’m sure you probably love watching Texas-OU or OSU-Michigan right? It’s just different when you’re involved.
Fans need to stop getting so emotional when it comes to the rivalry. Kids literally grow up dreaming of playing in this game lol. Us fans need to be better in person and on social media.
The banter and arguing is fine but it’s the unhinged morons who are what are “ruining” this rivalry, not the games themselves. For **** sake over the last 10 years almost every game has gone down to the wire. They’re great games. It’s a great rivalry. We’re just consumed by idiots on all sides who have a cell phone or an internet connection.
High and tight keeps the ball secure. Extending out in that position leads to losing control and fumbling. You only risk that if you are short on 4th down. Poor coaching.
We’ve done the same thing though and Brock also fumbled on the goal line as well.. It’s just execution.
There's a reason this story from the Gazette released when it did. Iowa Football is under immense pressure from boosters and media about the offense. Even Eickholt who is a homer is putting pressure on the Ferentz clan. Why else would Kirk go to the press 5 days after the game? Deflect, deflect, deflect. Hawk fans like @iahawks are getting suckered right in too.
I think the article was written about the press conference from a couple days ago. But your point still stands.
I believe the replay officials were Big 10.
Amen- nobody worse at this than KCRG and Saville (learned well under Uncle John Campbell for many years). After the Hilton shellacking last December, they never even put a story on their website. Just acted like it didn't happen. But when Iowa beats Slapdick State in any sport, it gets coverage no matter what time the game ended and you'd have thought the Hawks beat the Bills.
The game Saturday was close so the "we got screwed" narrative was chosen. And then it's on to "On Iowa Live" the next week and "let's talk about the '82 Peach Bowl win- what great Hawkeye legends!" or "the greatest tradition in college sports- the Wave" or "Kinnick concession stands to feature carmel corn this year".
I'll give Hlas credit- the one guy in eastern Iowa who usually isn't afraid to call it as it is.
When I google this, it only talks about a Pemsl DUI. What's this about a murder?
Cordel Pemsl was murdered inside Hilton Coliseum during a game there several years ago. He was viciously pulled from the floor by ISU students, repeatedly stabbed and tossed around like a rag doll all while the officials and ISU administration looked on without doing anything. It was even broadcast on TV. Surprised you didn't hear about it . . . . .
