How bout them Hawks

If Graves had scored it would mark the 17th consecutive year that our defense has had a pick six. And we don't have one this year yet. I would hate to miss out on what amounted to about a foot short.
 


Then again, Rutgers did that. But fair on to them. They certainly circled Iowa on the calendar. But I don't remember them making any comments. The 2025 Iowa team would definitely have been a real opportunity for them if they could have won. And the 2025 Rutgers team definitely could have been the team with an opportunity to do it. And as far as I know, all they ever said is they thought this was their year to do it. And they kept it close enough to be a winnable game....until it wasn't.

And yeah, you throw in their Wave drone show and that sorta softens any animosity that might come over being circled on the calendar. I don't call that drone show classy. I know some did. I just thought it was weird. If I'm the people deciding on that stuff for Rutgers athletics....I say "OK, drone show. Let's make it about Rutger's traditions. And what might be cool is to throw somewhere in there something about The Wave as an acknowledgement to our opponent". Kind of like letting a visiting band have time for 1 or 2 pieces on the field at the halftime show. But not the whole damn show. Weird.
You ol’ stick in the mud…
 


When Graves took that hand off....I mean picked that pass off, immediately I thought about Adrian Clayborne at Happy Valley years ago. For the record, I'm still going to argue that was a pick 6 by Graves! Give it to him! Let the big man have his day! LOL.
I was hoping we would line him up as RB and give it to him on the 1st & goal play
 




I think that team has been lost since last year. Fickle knows he’s done. Everything he’s saying there is a show for his players but I don’t blame him. He sold himself to Wisconsin and the players and he failed.

There’s 2 sides to every contract and if Wisconsin signed it that’s on them. Fickle knows he’s done and he’ll have a whole bunch of really big checks coming his way for sitting at home. He’ll be fine for the rest of his life.
Agreed,
I was just shaking my head and saying to myself where did the Wisconsin teams with massive offensive lines and huge powerful running backs go?

I was sitting there thinking the same thing you said. If this coach doesn’t turn things around really fast he will be toast. The Wisconsin fans will not be tolerant of this.

Also, the lack of discipline of the players was put on center stage with that ass player taunting our players as the Iowa players were coming onto the field.

Oh,sweet justice as we pounded them into the ground. Couldn’t have been better timing.
