Hawk fans gonna turn on Stanley

IIRC, didn't Kurt have to be shamed in to having his players do the wave after a few weeks of not doing it?
Man GTO! When I looked at the hyperlink of the second thread and saw “PSU Wave Effort”, I was certain you made it up as a parody. Nope! Wave Effort? Real life really is stranger and more entertaining than fiction.
The Wave is a neat thing and I think it's something special and unique to Iowa that they can be proud of. That being said, I grow tired of the strange mafia-like Hawk fans that cautiously watch each and every opposing fan, player, coach, or referee to make sure that they are not only waving, but waving with enthusiasm for the entire allotted time. It's petty and ridiculous. Embrace your cool tradition that honors sick kids and don't worry about who is or isn't joining in to your liking.
"Hats off" guy has to do something after the National Anthem is over
Purdue gives up more yards per play than Kansas. I see the Iowa offense giving their fans some false hope that things are turned around this week.
Would be a shame if their disaster of an offense only mustered another 12 points and dare I say, lost.
What is the O/U on # of plays for < 10 yards before hok fans start booing Stanley. I'll set it at 1.5.
Best scenario I can imagine is that Stanley struggles and gets pulled for one of the underclassmen, they have a good game and become the guy. Then they get throttled rest of the season. I think BF is better than ruining 1 QB, he should be able to destroy 2 in a season.
I see this week for Iowa playing out exactly how you're putting it, and then them going to Northwestern and dropping a game that causes an absolute meltdown. Pat Fitzgerald has his defense just outside the top-25, they'll be at home, and they're most likely going to be coming off an absolute beatdown by Ohio State so they'll be hungry for a win.
Cat, you are right. Even the lowly Illinois offense put up 25 on Michigan. The Hoks got 3. Woof.
By itself, The Wave is a great thing in general, but if any Iowa fan uses it to prove to themselves in some sport manner that they are better than any other opposing fan, then that Iowa fan is a POS.
It's a little bit of both probably. Brian has to call up the correct play to get the ball to Smith and then Stanley has to go out there and execute the pass. Brandon Smith gets the ball thrown over his head a lot by Stanley and quite honestly, the pass that Brandon Smith caught for a TD in the end of the PSU game was not a good throw either.
Meh. A bunch of Big 10 folks talking about what they do for children. I think we know what Pedophile State did for some kids, regardless of whether its fans wave or not.
The moment he threw that pass, I got excited. That ball is an interception 90% of the time, incomplete 9%, and a crazy TD catch maybe 1%. Props to Smith for making it, but horrible decision and worse throw by Stanley.
