I actually would point to the ridiculous punt-kick fumble. I knew it the moment it happened. I think we beat Wisco if that doesn't happen. From there, who knows, but maybe they would have had a little more "moxie".If there was 1 single play you can point to that would make the difference, then yeah, I would be sick.
But NW finished 8-1 and Iowa 5-4. This was not even close. Even if Iowa would have beat NW, NW would have still be Indy. There is nothing to be sick about. NW deserves this. Iowa does not.
I don't remember being up 17-7, let alone late in the third. We should have been, but that's a different story. I do remember being up 17-14 and having Wisconsin pinned at the 12 yard line with under six minutes to play. That was painful enough.Not sick to my stomach but I agree with you wholeheartedly that it was a wasted opportunity.
Go back to the Wisky game and even if we win it and beat NW but lose the same two road games we lost we would have had only 2 losses and NW would have had two losses and we would have won the head to head.
This whole thing started with a few errors when the hawks held a 17-7 lead agaisnt Wisky late in the 3rd qtr
We beat one team with a winning record...so...no. And even if it would have been 2015 part 2...it would have been another paper tiger. There only due to weak ass schedule and then exposed as a fraud in the bowlanyone else feeling sick today. I should be in Indianapolis partying it up right now. Watching Northwestern get ready instead of Iowa is about more than I can take. What a great chance wasted.
With Fleck in his Bayliner paddling figure eights.I haven't been sick to my stomach over Iowa football since 2010. What's the point? The SS Mediocre is turning circles in iceberg free waters, as long as Gutless Gary is at the helm.
Both of those teams were exposed as frauds in their respective bowl games so it didn’t matterThat 43 play drive to lose the game to MSU the last time in Indy is about as sick as you can make a Hawk fan.

Iowa finished about as poorly as could be expected when we looked at them mid season. Many thought at least 10-2. Not even close.
You are in denial then. There is a reason Ferentz refuses to play anyone in the non conference. He knows what lurks outside his four walls of the phone booth b10 westI dunno...I think what happened to Iowa in Pasadena was a consequence of how they lost in Indy.
