    ***Iowa vs Purdue Game thread***

    Definition of a letdown game. Iowa certainly isn't #2, but they aren't as shit as they look today, either. Purdue has it's issues but they know how to effectively move the ball against this zone defense.

    Do Not Rush The Field

    Pure jubilation. Who gives a shit what anyone thinks? Are we just supposed to calmly file out of the stadium after one of the biggest home wins in school history? Plus....traffic sucks after games, why not hang out after for awhile and have some fun until it clears?

    Alabama down 14 to A&M

    Georgia will be #1, but will we get any votes for #1…?

    Penn state vs Hawkeye

    Hankins should have batted down that 4th down pass at the end, instead of intercepting it, would have saved some drama at the end.

    Penn state vs Hawkeye

    This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Gus Johnson is a terrible play-by-play guy. He messes up constantly. Mispronouncing names, incorrect yardage, ignoring obvious stuff that happens on the field. I laughed when he called a Penn State player Brody Brecht and then blamed his eyesight .

    Fran needs to go after Yesutu

    Andrew Fleming? He transferred to Lipscomb, played 3 seasons there, and graduated last year.

    Kenny the Jet said it best....

    It's not the scheme, it's the personnel. Zone or man, this year's starters lacked the athleticism to compete against the elite. Looking forward to next year's lineup of Nunge at C, the Murrays and P Mac at F, and a backcourt of Joe T, CJ, and Ulis looks to be a much more athletic team capable of...

    Different Year, Same Result.

    Fredrick doesn't have the same quickness and confidence he had before his "lower leg injury". Nunge was our best defender in the lane. The rest of the group was able to somewhat tighten up the man to man D against average teams, but we just didn't have the athletes to compete defensively against...

    He'll have to choose...bench player in the NBA, or stud overseas.

    Rutgers

    Rutgers collapsed and choked so badly in that game I started looking for Steve Alford on their bench.

    Is the Big 10 really good? Overrated?

    It's a physical conference. Teams are beaten up. It's been a weird season with Covid pauses and unbalanced schedules and teams trying to make up missed games down the stretch. Michigan is missing one of their best players. Ohio State wore out late. Illinois is all athletes but had no answer for...

    Disappointing Season

    This is the best collection of skill players Iowa has had since the '86-'87 season. But against elite competition, the ceiling is a bit lower than we'd like because the starters lack elite speed and strength. The reserves have more athleticism but aren't seasoned enough yet to succeed against...

    ***Official "I Wish Alford Was Still Playing So We Could Kick His Red and White Striped Pants Wearing Ass" Game Thread***

    It was just a terrible half. Learn from it and move on. Michigan looked unbeatable and then got torched by Minnesota. It's a tough league, the champ will probably have 3-4 losses.

    ***Official Fat Pitsgerald Breaks His Other Leg and the Hawkeyes Eat Mildcat For Supper Game Thread***

    Petras has no touch, no field awareness, and no accuracy. He's like a young Nate Stanley except much worse than Nate ever was.

    2020 Edition of Iowa Football

    Here's what's going to happen: Kirk survives and stays on as head coach through the investigation, but the 2020 season is cancelled due to Covid concerns. As a result of the investigation, Brian either leaves or is fired, and KOK is promoted back up to OC.

    Howe: Hawkeyes About to Be Part of Science Experiment

    It seems pretty obvious that if there's a football season at all, there will inevitably be many teams that wind up with infected players. What happens then? Will entire rosters have to be quarantined? Will there be forfeited/cancelled games? And this doesn't even consider the impacts of...

    Kaevon Merriweather Tweet

    Is it selfish for you to want to be able to continue to watch the games guilt-free while knowing about all the issues? Yes. There's no neutrality allowed right now. You either support these changes or you're a part of the problem.

    Dillon Doyle Transferring

    My football coach told me I could f*** up a wet dream after I dropped a catch in practice. Circa 1986.
