*****Official Iowa tames the Bulldogs game thread*****

[karras]

I did not realize until now that the last offensive series were Stanley's only 3 incompletions,

KF got mad cuz he got away from the 3 dive plays to end the half strategy

"That was dumb football."

He's actually letting Brian run the game. This is encouraging.

The head coach guides the flow of the game and the big decisions. KF should have told BF to run the ball but maybe KF just learned a lesson there after all these years

 

[dahlhawk]

Totally agree.

In many ways we are lucky to be ahead so run out the clock and get the 2nd half kickoff.

Football games are so situational and you have to know the flow. very low % of time Iowa goes 80 yards or even 60 yards in 1:20 to get a score before halftime.

We got lucky they didn’t get points, agree with you.

 

[karras]

Wut?

the defense bailed you out? sounds like the last 20 years

 

[smitharooney]

Did I just hear Dolf say “can the hawks do it?”

 

[tweeterhawk]

I'm with you on that one!

Who dat? Pix or GTFO.

Still think she's kinda basic.

Not sure what you are looking at, she is very beautiful. Maybe you like something a lot more slinky and lady of the nite type

I didn't hear what Kirk said. What did he say?

He said something to the like of "I didn't do our offense any favors on that last offensive series, just dumb football, but our defense bailed us out."

I can't say for sure, but I suspect he's referring to the fact that he didn't call any timeouts.

I’m into the tall drink of water that interviewed Saban at halftime on Saturday

I know.....i am digging her,too.

 

[cincyhawk]

Basic smokeshow.

Come on. Erin's got better assets - she was basically a supermodel. That blocking the car video was sadcringe. Her form was terrible, she looked like a frat girl at a tailgate trying to impress the boys, and the faux fur jacket with the lady gaga makeup was aweful. And she's not a real blonde, either.

Molly is a cocktail waitress compared to Erin in her prime.

"That last offensive position was dumb, my bad"...paraphrased.

yep "that was some dumb football...defense bailed us out"

Make up and keeping weight off does wonders in todays world.

 

[tweeterhawk]

If we can get one more score MSU will be forced to throw. I think we win that match up.

 

[Xerxes]

T.O.P.

MSU 19:00+
Iowa 10:00+

Can't complain about the 2nd quarter but this is a little concerning. Iowa does have depth on the DL. They're going to need it.

That situation called for classic Kirk play calling, up the gut, keep the clock running, get to the half, not some dramatic try for a high risk, little reward pass play.

 

[JoeyLabasForPresident]

Definitely more Iowa fans in the stadium today! Go Hawks!

 

[dahlhawk]

This is a serious “man” game and so far Iowa has answered the call, the young pups started out feisty! Good sign for the future!

That situation called for classic Kirk play calling, up the gut, keep the clock running, get to the half, not some dramatic try for a high risk, little reward pass play.

And Kirk took responsibility for it ... now, I wonder if he let Brian know his displeasure.

No. The blocking video and close-up really turned me off on her. She's pretty, way out of my league, but so are a million other instagram stars.
