That came up on soundoff on the way home. They had a linebacker (moiake sp?) covering bates. Not a good game plan.
What's Their Excuse??
- Thread starter isucyfan
- Start date

If Meyer to Bates was a fluke, I want Iowa fans to admit that Tate to Holloway was the same exact thing.
With all apoligies to David Letterman...
Top Ten Excuses Iowa has for losing to Iowa State.....
10. We only had 4,000 fans in the stadium! How do they expect us to compete?
9. Half of the recieveing corps was at an *ahem* "five finger sale" at Scheels
8. Drew Tate drugged Jake Christensen and took his place, trying to make up for '05
7. What, you mean they didn't quake in fear at the sight of Young & Sims !?!
6. It was too @#$&in' cold this morning!!!
5. With Those $90 tickets, we couldn't afford enough to bribe the refs!
4. Thought they were playing the 1977 team, not just the current Iowa State players in throwback uniforms.
3. Accidentaly sent some Scooby Snacks to Shaggy
2. Mike Klinkenborg got confused, thought he was covering Norman Bates
1. Despite winning a national title and 29 straight games, this was Gene Chizik's super bowl.
:biglaugh:

"And that, my feathered friend, is what game planning and coaching will do for you...."
Shaggy cheated, he secretly planted homing devices in the footballs. They have proof. Their sideline camera guy assigned to steal Wayne Bolt's signals caught Shaggy redhanded.
Iowa's AD will have all of the details in a news conference Monday as soon as he gets confirmation of reversing the game's outcome from the NCAA commissioner.

Sqwak fans can use that excuse all they want, but when they do, remind them of this fact - Shaggy's two longest FGs of the day, the 42-yarder and 40-yarder, came in the 2nd quarter, when he was KICKING INTO THE WIND!
Shhhh! You're cruelly depriving the mentally defective of their "hawkscuses(tm)!"
And that is just mean....:biggrin:
I LOVE the fact that they just got dominated offensively this year. They really have no excuses (although I know they will try to come up with some).
There were no freak plays, weird turnovers...in fact, we LOST the turnover battle and still won.
Welcome home, Cy-Hawk trophy, welcome home.

Re: Favorite Hawkeye Excuse Thread
The most common I've been hearing lately is the pass interference on Bates. It seems like there's hundreds of excuses after the game is over, and then they all funnel into one consensus.
