I think Rocco had an underrated game, if the recievers catch 3 or 4 of those really well thrown balls, the narrative would be different. He really only had 4 subpar throws i remember. The burkle catch I wonder if he was throwing to who tipped it or if it was supposed to go to burkle.

I heard the whistle (in person, not on TV) before the ball was snapped. So, not only did CMC call the timeout in time, it was actually acknowledged by the ref blowing the whistle before the play. Why do people make stupid arguments that are easily refuted and proven untrue? ,,,,, Oh wait, I know this one.
OK, that closes this matter of records from the 1980s that are surprisingly mediocre given the legendary status of the coach. We definitely don’t need to look at men’s basketball.
But more seriously, I’ve preached for years that the weirdly delusional self-image of the Hawkeye fanbase is 100% attributable to the streak and their incessant need to compare themselves to ISU (and project that trait onto the Cyclone fanbase).
And as much as I freely admitted to being jealous that the Hawkeyes could lose to ISU and then go beat up inferior teams in league and finish 9-3 I am now excited ISU has that opportunity to do the same!
The Arizona game is white out.

Really love your Sam’s/Hansen take. Both are elite backs and have been successful all year.
Anyone feel bad for Iowa fans? A bad basketball program, a football team who hasn’t beaten anyone good in half a decade, and now Caitlyn Clark is out for the season so they don’t have their beloved Indiana fever…
No one? Me either.
No one? Me either.
Yep. That literally happens all the time. Late timeouts happen often and are very easy to acknowledge. Was very correct and not controvial at all.
Did they discuss how Iowa was handed a spark of hope as the refs stole a possession (not 1 play but an entire possession) in order to give Iowa's offense any semblance of a chance? An official literally took the ball from Iowa State in excellent field position and gave it to Iowa and a fresh set of downs, when that was literally the only thing positive Iowa could muster at all. In the last 30 years of the series, we have been d*cker a lot but that's the most egregious and sneaky ass dirty f*ck-over we've gotten from a Big10 crew. Just such a dirty little b*tch thing to do. Because it's completely untraceable and not accountable. Pick up a VERY CLEAR flag and claim some BS (like the Iowa player - who very clearly ran into our guy on his own - verifiable instantly on replay - was "pushed") and walk away all cocky giving Iowa the football. We had SO much momentum. Man, I'm gonna be pissed about that forever. Sneaky f*ckers. Game should have been 27-3 and we would all be re-watching a beat down on replay today.
Everyone is insinuating they "Think" he was talking about the refs.
To me he was talking about mistakes more than anything. In fact he even says Mistakes at the same time he was talking bout 2 opponents, meaning we were also playing against ourselves with our mistakes. It very well have been he meant a combination of things, including the refs.
I think we can all assume he was talking about the refs etc. but claiming you know exactly what he was referencing in that quote is just not true.
Some people are convinced if they’re not calling plays like they’re playing Tecmo Supsr Bowl they’re being way too cionservarive. In other words, they’re armchair coaches with demands that have absolutely zero basis in reality.
This. Duncan was the absolutely worst hire. His recruiting coordinator that he took along with him to OU served time in the Federal pen
He had a couple bad throws on deep balls. One slot fade to Overby and the deep crosser over the middle. Probably walk in TDs if he leads the receiver
It is amazing how many hawk fans I have heard grumbling about our easy schedule and how ISU winning 9 or 10 games with our schedule isn't meaningful. All the while completely oblivious to the fact that they have been the fake ID of college football fattening up on the pathetic B1G West for the last 15 years.
National media starting to say what we all have known for the last few years.

Misery Index: Florida's loyalty to Billy Napier looks like a terrible mistake
After a ghastly loss to South Florida, it's clear everyone involved in Florida's charade of a football program is just wasting time and, more importantly, wasting money.
How blind can you be to “disagree” with something blatantly obvious?
He said “like we were playing against two teams”,
One of the reporters asked a followup question, saying he’d let that second part “linger”.
Campbell replied something to the effect that it that was probably better, to let it linger. Leave it alone.
Because everyone in the room knew he was talking about the refs, and he’d get a reprimand and fined by the conference if he were more specific
Hello? Clue stick?
Blatantly. Obvious.
If anyone didn’t watch his presser yourself, do so before you pretend to know what you’re talking about, please.
Rocco didn't force anything. The tipped pass to to Burkle was tipped at the line, tippe by Iowa defender and tipped b Townsend. Younger Rocco would have forced some things and who knows, makes an incredible play or a pick six.
He got rid of the ball quickly, didn't expose himself to big hits and managed the clock very well.
If you are looking for numbers, flash, heroics - average game. If you are looking for doing exactly what he was asked to do in this game - he get's an A.
I would love to beat down the hoks as much as anybody (stay tuned for the next couple of years) but this was the way to win this game.
Aren’t most students working on a Masters in Beer Studies?
When I was first a student, Welch Avenue Station was a bar called The Library.
Once one Saturday, I listened to a neighbor on my dorm floor solemnly tell his parents he’d been at the Library until it closed the night before.
I’m pretty sure the capital L didn’t transfer.
