***OFFICIAL HAWKS VS SPARTACUS GAME THREAD***

[BigD]

*gulp* Glad I resisted the urge to post 15 min ago wow...

Well it was ugly. We couldn't do anything right. Great adjustments by the offensive coordinator

To mildly defend Kurt...Riddick ain't opposed to throwing inopportune INTs

The fate was sealed the second that ball hit the turf.

Crowd needs to tap into the flasks right now, because they need the energy to continue into the 3rd.

Galloway said the first correct statement all day. If Iowa fair catches that Iowa doesn't take a knee. I've been mad before at Ferentz taking a knee but that was the right thing to do. The person to be mad at is the punt returner for losing 15 yards of field position.

Can someone clarify why there was no penalty on MSU's thuggery on Powell? I was sure a 15-yarder was on the way. I watch with commentary muted, so don't have the talking head perspective.

What a coward. 30 seconds left with 3 TO and you have momentum. Why take a knee?

i think it was the right thing at that time - have momentum, have the lead, why risk going into the locker room hanging the head

This.

Fair catch 15 yards upfield and its a different decision even for KF

 

[MelroseHawkins]

We have OUR OWN Wes Welker. He's #89. What a luxury!!

 

[Sparky]

Jerry Kill had another seizure today. He won't be coaching against Michigan.

I think if there is a team he will go for the killshot against, it is MSU. But I think it was the right call with where the ball stopped rolling and the extra 5 seconds that ran off the clock because of it.

I'm pulling my mini Tito's out of my sock now....

Yikes.

because the line judge on that near side of the field is asleep - and won't call anything today. Not even a tackle/hold call by the MSU rcvrs, not on msu #66 who is practicing greco roman wrestling all day, why would he call a decapitation attempt?

 

[Sparky]

Even with the ball where it stopped Rudock was 11 for 11 and they had huge momentum and 3 time outs. As long as they don't run risky plays why not go for it?

It wasn't 83s fault. There was an Iowa blocker that came into the area of the fair catch and rather than running into him, he backed off. Rewind it and check it out.

That dude is a soldier. I feel bad for the guy.

Don't be afraid to share, just keep the BAC <.341, we don't need you running on the field until after the game.

I am all for folks not letting their disabilities/illness define them, but dude needs to think about calling it.

But at what point does his health problems become detrimental to the team? If he misses games he isn't able to do his job.
