Iowa - Northwestern Game Thread

[trj]

I'm not even disgusted by this. It's almost like a comedy. It feels like watching Bud Bundy repeatedly getting rejected by sluts. You know he's going to get shot down, but you just keep watching and laughing.

It has become comical. I’m done being frustrated with this.

Marco must suck too. We could run option and get more yards.

There are likely 20+ ex-high school quarterbacks in the stands at this game who would be better than Hill.

Wll let's see, rake leaves, hang Christmas lights, pick up dog shit or watch Iowa football???? Pick up dog shit it is! It gives the same feeling of watching Iowa Football. Don't want do anything to positive or anything more meaningful.

Neighbors all seeing hawk fans mowing their lawns right now.

I really should be raking leaves right now.

Forget a QB.
Direct snap to one RB in the backfield and let him pick a gap.

With Richman, Jones, and Feth out, Hill's mobility is exactly what this team needs at QB to get this offense going.

I didn’t realize all 3 were out.

Iowa can look to the past for punt first offense

The idea was simple: With traditional offense ineffective at best, and dangerous at worst (due to injuries and turnovers, of which there were many), the best option for gaining field position was to boot the ball downfield and hope the returner either muffs the punt or fumbles the ball on the return. Regardless of the absent proof of efficacy, both teams went all in on the strategy, punting a combined total of 77 times, with 67 coming on first down. Those are not typos. During one stretch in the second half, there were 22 punts in a row.

Podolak called the offense ‘pathetic’
He’s resorting to Bud & Mary’s for the rest of the game.

If Harry Caray was still here he would be joining him. Holy Cow

Know doubt! Only reason a guy stays with it is you really got confirm to yourself this reality.

What makes this especially tough is that over the many years that we have followed Kirk’s teams we usually see improvement as the season rolls on. Not this year. Just sad.

I think they guys be better off saying F**k what the coaches say, let's play back yard football and call or own plays. It certainly couldn't be any worse and us fans sure as wouldn't know the difference.....

 

[BigD]

For twenty-five years I have wished Kirk and his coaches all the best. Through some tough seasons I have endured.

Kirk it’s time.

 

[BigD]

How was that not holding

 

[BigD]

Now they call it on the next play. Makeup call???

 

[BigD]

Time for a pick

Shaping up to be Kirk’s nadir

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Hawks blocked the punt.

 

[hawkinn3]

We still won’t score

Why does this feel like one of those games where we get a safety and we win 2-0???
