Cyhawk postgame thread

Yeah a buddy texted me that it was the fewest number of Iowa fans he's seen in the stadium. Ever.
I had the exact discussion today. Was the least amount and quietest I’ve ever seen from Hawk fans.

Even before the game was the least amount of stereotypical Fry wannabe douches yelling “go hawks” every 5 seconds as well.
 
This has been bothering me. Early 3rd quarter we punt and tackle Iowa on the 5. A flag for holding on Iowa and should be half the distance to the goal. They still start the drive on the 5 and not the 2.5. Was that just straight wrong by the refs? How did nobody catch that?

It was declined for some reason and I'm not sure if it was clarified as to why.

I was listening and Walters was dumbfounded.

There is a pretty good explanation why we declined the penalty some pages back in this thread. Something about if the penalty would have been enforced, it would have been half the distance from the 12 which meant it was a better spot for us and so we declined the penalty.

Yep, the penalty would have been enforced from the end of the kick, not the end of the return. Since Wetjen ran backwards before he was tackled, declining the penalty was better than accepting it.

I didn’t get it either until it was explained to me. Which you would think a nationally relevant TV broadcast crew might have done. Except they didn’t.
