I had to be in bug eater land today so had to watch on my phone after Debbie struggled against the nerds. Nice to beat the crap out of teams we should again.
If it's cold rain and wind, advantage Ducks. They play in that crap every week.

That was the most complete performance I have seen by Iowa in 10 years

Always fun to read the opponent's comments....

I remember back in the 70's, you could walk into the Field House and stroll right up to an unprotected Floyd. Seems pretty quaint compared to all the security in place today.

KF has said for years that yards is the most overrated stat. Exhibit A would be that game. If you're turning it over that much at the end of drives and not scoring points the yards are all but irrelevant.
That's Fn funny well done

Was Fleck playing for a moral victory when he called time out at the end of the 3rd quarter to kick a field goal to ruin the shutout? I kinda laughed to myself and said, "Yup, those 3 points are sure going to help."
I took it as a passive aggressive move and an "FU" to Iowa to take the shutout away. Granted it was noted that Iowa had run off 24 straight points along with 34 this game prior to the field goal.

And without the 3-4 Iowa penalties on that drive Minnie wouldn’t have gotten those 3 points.

I probably would've been petty and done the same thing too, honestly. No reason to give Iowa fans satisfaction.
I feel like Fleck and KF are a lot a like in certain ways, both run clean programs for the most part, both are really dorky, neither are going to ever be B1G title or playoff contenders, etc. I feel like they're probably really nice to each other in person and are genuine about it, but given the chance they like to dig at the other programs. Fleck kicking a FG to ruin a shutout, KF saying, "Figured we'd take Floyd with us and leave the timeouts here" after he called 3 meaningless TOs in a row against MN...
That kinda shit. I'm fine with it either way.
To be honest, we deserved that 3 points scored against us the way a lot of the 2nd half went.

You're not wrong. I thought in some ways it was Fleck being petty and passive aggressive but at the end it was miniscule in the grand scheme of things. Hawkeyes still boat raced them.

I was just going to bring up KF's timeout comments. Is there any truth that Fleck applied to be a GA or something and was denied by Ferentz? Figured you might know.

I don't know.
@Northside Hawk is the most Cliff Clavin-est guy I've ever met (which I say as an enormous compliment), if anyone here knows he will...
Sort of...one of PJ's mentor's wrote a letter to KF, asking if he would consider taking PJ on as a GA. KF replied with a letter stating thanks for the recommendation, we are full with GAs at the moment, but we will certainly keep PJ in mind going forward (KF must spend half his day with correspondence, he replies to EVERYONE). PJ has the reply letter, with KF's signature, framed in his office.
I think there is a lot of mutual respect between the two, with enough animosity to make it fun. It has to keep PJ up at night that he is 1-10 against KF, and he knows the one he got was BS.
I would take mild offense to this statement, as I had a HS teacher who liked to call me Cliff Clavin for my trove of meaningless trivia. Bbut I agree, I am not in the same league as @Northside Hawk .
