It's Game Day, Boys!!!

Defense stinks in the 2nd half. Realize Pavia is really good and they have fast receives, but Iowa has played very soft after the break.

Shades of USC.

Difference is KF didn't inhibit the 2nd half offense today

Vonahme. (Sp). MVP with Gronowski close 2nd

Absolutely

Great job Hawkeyes

 

[kicker22]

Ending the season ranked while finally beating a ranked opponent. Can't complain there.

 

[JoeyLabasForPresident]

The ranked win drought has ended. 16-0 season incoming.

 

[pythagoras]

Nice win Hawks. Bring on 2026

Glad to be done with these pro Vanderbilt/SEC announcers.

 

[Seth53]

Proud of the Hawks today.

Great showing. Never trailed.

 

[hawkdrummer1]

YESSSSS!!! That's a big boy WIN fellas!

 

[kicker22]

Glad to be done with these pro Vanderbilt/SEC announcers.

Not sure if they got the memo or not, but the almighty SEC is having another bowl season to forget.

Glad to be done with these pro Vanderbilt/SEC announcers.

So true. They didn't hide their Vandy love at all.

Damn. I missed this game. Just another boring bowl game for a participation trophy.

And. I will remember this team as one of my top 5. And, I will be grateful for MG as the start of something big at Iowa. His passes today. OMG!
NFL bound. And, thank you, Tim Lester. Next head coach at Iowa. Happy New Year, HN!

 

[NCHawker]

F YA!

Boy did MG pick a good time to have his best game. It took him awhile to get comfy with the O and everything this yr but I'm glad we got to see the best of him. He's legit. He's one tough SOB. He's a leader I'm ecstatic that he was a Hawk for us.

The O overall was really damn good. Lester called a phenomenal game. Outside that playcall the interception came from ( I despised just the thought of it. Why throw a slant at the goal line in traffic to your big RB on a 1st and goal from the 4? We'd been running it well just pound it in) Besides that I'd be nitpicking big time Lester called a whale of a game and I'm praying nobody poaches him be it the NFL or anyone else.

Defense was both awesome at times especially the first half (watching 43 blast Pavia a couple times was spectacular) and then also not very good at all. Pavia put up a wave of stats almost all in the 2nd half we all wish he hadn't. But end of the day we got the W.

Got the bowl W which gives KF the most for anyone ever in the BIG and also a W against a ranked team for the first time in however many games it'd been so that monkey is off his back. Great day to be a Hawkeye!!!!!

Yah, but I'm stuck doing inventory. And EOY.
I haven't decided whether to try to keep up or just watch when I get home.
I'll have to block my family chat, which will be full of updates and reactions. College football elicits more family chat texts than any other event.

Just finished watching. Had to wait for my wife and kids to get home from their basketball practices to start watching. Timing wise, it worked out perfectly.

 

[NCHawker]

Vanderbilt has shown that they can score quickly today.

Ya but F them.

 

[99topdawg]

Nwankpa beat again. I don’t get the hype

He can come up and lay the lumber. The guy doesn't actually go to the ground, but he does hit him hard. Other than that, I got nothing.
