do you ever get tired of winning big games purely because of luck? i find it comical

[koralakers]

blocking the UNI field goal TWO times in a row to win... (huge game)
wisconsin QB tripping on a hand off on the 1 yard line to win and the time running out
blocking the penn state punt and recovering it for a TD and getting a saftey early in the game lol
coming from behind to barely beat purdue with beathard
losing to IL at half and blowing them out because of some questionable turnovers and them giving up
3rd and 27 ohio states best dlinemen was flagged for head to head contact(complete joke), thrown out of the game, and turned the momentum of the game back to us

lol. I wish this were true. KFs record in games decided by 3 or less, and one-score games is about 40%. Never get the bounces. Losing NINE STRAIGHT games decided by 3 or less '05-'08--all games we lead and lost late. Without bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.

Especially a team that has whipped their ass 4 out of the last 5 years. Very sad, but the thing about the lowliest of losers is that they do not possess enough intelligence to be self-aware.

I consider it a public service to help make them aware.

Forgot one. I wanna say the 2006 Outback Bowl. Worst officiated game in Iowa history if not college football history, with every call going against the Hawks. The two that stick in my mind are the face mask call on the Iowa receiver when replays showed it was the Florida DB who grabbed the face mask, and the infamous offside call on the onside kick Iowa had recovered which clearly showed it wasn't.

Yep that was terrible called game. Urban got payed back for it this year.

The Iowa victory of LSU was so exciting. I soon got tired of not being organized in late game management.

That ended a golden era and Kirk, who was 49 at the time, may have been the hottest coaching commodity in college. They had just thoroughly dismantled a top ten Wisconsin team prior to the Citrus Bowl thriller.

Ferentz found ways to win back then. The 6-4 pitchers duel vs Penn State. Kicking enough field goals to beat Minnesota despite giving up approximately six miles rushing. Forcing seven turnovers vs Wiscy. Always finding a way.

I thought he was a goner after that season. Evidently so did Bowlsby. It was the first of many times the athletic director ponied up.

His best years are with maverick qbs. The type he despises it seems. Not game managers.
