Any chance Brady remembers playing at Kinnick that day at all?

I was at that game. Cold, rainy, and scalped tickets for $5 right at kickoff. But NC you are right, 1998-first 8 games of 2000 was the low point of Iowa football for my lifetime. 1992-1994 wasn't good either but not at that level. Interesting to note that Iowa started becoming competitive during that 2000 Wisconsin game, which I believe was Bob Sanders' first start.

Can someone please do this for Nick Foles so I can relive that horrific feeling of realizing Iowa would never win a championship just once more? You could also give me 2009 highlights set to Glory Days.

I respect the heck out of Brady, but I can't stand him, Belichek and the Patriots in general. I can't wait until Bill & Tom are gone for good and their dynasty falls apart. Going to happen soon NE fans.

They were starting to show signs of life toward the end of 2000.

Belichek I think steps down after the Super Bowl because he's estranged from Brady and Bob Kraft. Brady's wife wants him to retire so it wouldn't shock me if he retires, especially if the Patriots win.

The season when looking at the results wasn't as bad as I remembered.

Tom will get another ring I'll put up big ones on that.
They'll blow the hell out of the Beagles and Tom can ride into the sunset if he so chooses

Everyone keeps doubting them, and they keep winning.

Count yourself lucky you were not around for the Frank Lauterbur disaster!

I vaguely remember that game. If I am correct, Matt Bowen made about 100 tackles. Like every other game that year.

You are probably right. But why I am thinking the 2000 Northwestern game was Bob's first start. I remember him destroying a Northwestern receiver on the sidelines. The hit would be totally illegal now. Wasn't that the time Stockdale replaced Tim Dodge at corner?

My second oldest brother was in band. My sister's future husband took the family to the homecoming game. The opposing team was green, so I am guessing Michigan State in 72. I learned that the objective of football was to take the handoff and run for the sideline as fast as you possibly could, to avoid being hit by the other team. Both teams were quite proficient at this. In other words both teams were terrible. I don't remember the score. My parents really wanted to see half time. I'm not even sure we stayed to the end. I didn't care, because I was a nine year old Dolphins fan in 1972. Iowa was a basketball school. That was my inauspicious beginning to Hawkeye fandom.

I didn't really become a Hawkeye football fan until my freshman year 81-82.

To corroborate your story. Iowa tied Michigan State that year

I recall sitting through what was probably Frank's last season, 0-11. Wow.

 

[HawksMN]

Man we lost to the goofers 3 straight 98-00?? That WAS a bad stretch.

But none of the 5-6 SB rings he has will measure up in his mind to that 12-9 win at Kinnick I imagine.
