Poll: If we do beat the TOE Saturday, what will be their excuse?

[MisterO]

Hopefully we get to find out the answer to this after Saturday’s game.

If they use injuries, we have injuries too. Remsberg is our best o-line, that is huge loss for us, to not have him in this game. Apparently Verdon is injured too. Arguably Norton out is a big deal. He looked great in the 4 carries he had and the one catch and run he had.

 

[Cy1980]

Can you add that our qb is trash and brian has a dueshebag haircut?

 

[madguy30]

It will be all of them but if ISU does their job and is just better I think many Hok fans will see it as it is.

 

[Cy1980]

Their online is trash, they have no receivers worth a ****, and his dumb ass son couldn't even call good plays on madden but they will probably slop into a win because their good defense and special teams.

 

[CysRage]

I’m fully expecting Petras to play out of his head and ISU loses another close one. This is literally the one game Iowa has to show up for then they get to waltz through the Big Ten West. It doesn’t help Campbell keeps the playbook closed so we don’t show anything to the rest of the Big 12.

Judging by the amount of tickets on the secondary markets the Hawks are mentally preparing for a loss.

 

[nfrine]

I miss GTO's input on these lists....

 

[KnappShack]

They would obviously beat themselves. Iowa hasn't had a better team beat then since at least 1983.

Or

QB had hand cramps

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

A very merry F#ck Iowa to you all.

 

[IlliniCy]

The OP forgot "We came out flat".

 

[20eyes]

I honestly think they'll just continue to blast their offense like they're already doing. No stupid excuses this year...

 

[Rogue52]

Need an option with Brian Ferentz in it.

“Kirk Ferentz is a nepotist and his son is the worst OC in all of Division 1. If we hired the level of OC that would die to coach at a Big Ten school, we would have won by 3 TDs.”

 

[beentherebefore]

Nice list of excuses. Sounds like many people I know....

The "not show anything" is such crap. There are literally years of film on the scheme. We aren't veering too far from that scheme. The players change but the scheme stays pretty damn consistent.

More likely they aren't adding much in because they still have guys trying to learn the scheme and you can't add onto concepts they don't know to begin with.

 

[JM4CY]

They’re prepping for a loss. I’ve already a combo of we’re bound to win one eventually mixed with a hatred for Petras.

 

[cyfanatic13]

I unfortunately am friends with way too many Hawk fans. I don't know a single one that is expecting to win, they are so down on their offense

I know Hawk fans. The only one who was a friend recently died. The Pantherhawk next door is recovering from a heart attack at the ripe old age of 56. So at least I don’t have to engage any of them. I have been doing some errands for Pantherhawk’s wife, but she really doesn’t care about sports.

 

[cycloner29]

Didn’t want him anyway! Wait… my fault, thought this was the recruiting thread.

Cyclone Migration 2022 is set!
Buy up the tickets and paint Kinnick Stadium Cardinal and Gold on Saturday.
As for the excuses, I don't care.
