IOWA one for the ages vs. Stanford Rose Bowl game thread.

5 - 7 would have been better, amirite?

But atleast try to represent the B1G.

 

[Seth53]

At least Stanford can't score at halftime...I think.

The band played well however.

 

[McNutt7gets6]

I wish Shaw and Stanford were d bags so I could hate them more but man got to respect them.

Iowa over achieved this year and had a great year but until we get better athletes this is as good as it gets (which has been pretty good).

Iowa fans complained about not getting national recognition........well here ya go

 

[docholihawk]

The failure is actually happening on national TV right now.

I'm glad you're enjoying this. The other 364 days of the year we along with the rest of the world get to laugh at you.

McCaffrey? Who's that? Should we have planned for him?

 

[BigD]

Who said I was blaming this loss on the refs? I was referring to one specific play and how Big 12 refs have performed against us in the past.

In fairness there was more than just that one call. They blew an obvious pass interference in the first quarter against Standford. This game is just crap and has to be embarrassing to KF.

MSU hangover....coaches have to create an environment where 1 team does not beat you twice.

The Big ten c game took too much of a toll on this team.

 

[BigD]

I'll be surprised if a band member doesn't trip and they all fall over like dominoes.

Can't really hate on this statement.

That's what you are going with?

M guess is they thought it was gonna be Fran McCaffrey so they weren't prepared.

Greg Davis last game as a Hawk OC!

 

[hawkforlife9]

Go Hawks. There's a lot of football left. Let's shoot to hold them to 56 points.

 

[cincyhawk]

This^. We are totally outclassed in every phase of the game.

State population sizes matter. Athletes are distributed throughout the global human population pretty much evenly. This means more people = more elite athletes.

That's the handicap at Iowa wrt recruiting. They need to recruit a couple non-football kids on the track team to be WR, I seem to remember a few like that back in the Fry days.

Yeahhhhh not so much.

Here's the thing that sums up kurt. We're down 35-0 and know that he'll keep running the same vanilla crap have have very little hope to come back and win. However, if we were the ones up 35-0, we would be expecting to see an even more conservative style of play and actually have to deal with the reality that we could still lose this game. To me this screams of the need for a new coaching staff in Iowa City.

Seriously? It's the friggin Rose Bowl. We can't recruit, period. This game shows how much recruiting matters. We play in a weak division of a weak conference, get outside of that, and this is what happens. Stanfords defense isn't supposed to be that good. We can't even get a receiver open.
