Iowa losing in the Rose Bowl? Can’t see that happening.

Because you’ve seen it so many times before?Iowa losing in the Rose Bowl? Can’t see that happening.
McCaffrey just scored again.Iowa losing in the Rose Bowl? Can’t see that happening.
Exactly. Agree with you, loved his sports report before school every morning. Yep he overstayed.He’s no Jim Zabel, that’s for sure.
(Zabel was the voice of my childhood, growing up in southeast Iowa … I remember listening to his morning sports score report on WHO every day before I got on the bus for school. But man, he overstayed his time as Hawkeye PBP man, he couldn‘t keep track of names or game situations the last couple of seasons.)
You are comparing the two schools against one another, while you should be comparing them to how they stack up in their league. That is the difference, EIU has more money than KSU, that is not debatable, but how does that stack up against their peers in the league? EIU at best is the 8th best school in the league, Ohio St, Michigan, Penn St, Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA are all ahead of them, while Wisconsin and Nebraska are tied. Now do the same with the B12, which schools are ahead of KSU? The money difference only becomes a factor if you do not have enough compared to your peers to compete, KSU has more than enough to compete in the B12. Which team has the better opportunity to make the playoff going forward on a yearly basis? EIU or KSU, that is easy, its KSU.
EIU playing games in the B10 west its them, without the B10 west and the four new schools that were added, now KSU is the better job in my opinion. Klieman is 56 years of age, freerents is not going to be leaving soon, will Klieman want to leave a job he has been at for a decade in his early 60's to take over a job at EIU? I really doubt he would, 10 years ago at 46 without a doubt, in another 5 years, just cannot see it.
Circumstances would say yes, but Capt. will make WonderWomen pay every cent of his contract after what she did to Jr. She can’t buy him out so I don’t see Kirk going anywhere.

Did anybody see this yet?
Iowa drew up the exact same play Texas used to burn Iowa State last year. Same formation, same rollout, same pass patterns. But this time the Cyclone defense recognized it, reacted to it … and Porter got the huge pick that helped turn the game around.
Great analysis in this clip (it’s so weird to see Texas and Iowa running the exact same play).

It was the only ranked team ISU beat after some weird games with a young team and beating Texas no matter how good/bad they are trumps a whole bunch of things.
What if Iowa/ISU both end up 7-5 this year?
Still an epic win?
yes its still an epic win. is this really even a question?
The UT QB has the arm strength to make the throw without it hanging in the air, the EIU QB doesn't, allowing the ISU dback to undercut the route. If their guy had gotten more air under the throw and lead the TE it could have been a touchdown, he just doesn't have the arm strength to get it there on a line.
Good catch by Hassel. Look at the difference in what the two o lines do.
Texas OL allowed the d line to get up field, almost as if it was a screen, giving the Texas TE space to clear faster. It almost looks like the Iowa OL blocking like it was a run kept our D Line engaged which muddled up Lachey and slowed his release.
Good stuff.
Yes - but the UT player was so wide open it would had been a completion even with McNamara throwing the ball. It may not had lead to a TD, but it would had been a nice gain.
Porter made a GREAT read on the play and sniffed it out.
The silver lining, looking down the road just a little bit, is that our LB position is going to be stacked.
I'll wait for an actual replay but as the game went on it seemed like the young guys had some moments where they got past the thinking and just playing ball level and would suggest that we're looking at some very nice ability there.
I think both are true here. If ISU had a 13-0 lead and a 19-7 lead in this game, we’d be saying we blew it. At the same time, ISU could have laid down, instead they played like the absolute better team in the 2nd half
