The ref’s incompetence kept Iowa in the game
We didn’t play our best, but without some pivotal bad officiating, we still walk away with a multiple TD win. Should have been a 20-3 type game going into the 4th.
Imagine our defense playing an Iowa offense forced to pass.
Oh well. On to Arkansas St. A shame this is a road trip. Just get a W, any W
Even without the crazy catch, I thought Burkle had a really, really nice game.
I totally think Brahmer is a NFL player but Burkle might really get some looks.

Guy goes into a bar with his pet monkey. Iowa – Iowa State football game is on TV. Just then, Iowa gets a first down and the monkey does 3 back flips! Next Iowa gets a first down and the monkey does a series of cartwheels the length of the bar and back! Bar tender says, “Wow! That’s impressive! What does he do when Iowa wins?” “Don’t know.” The monkey’s owner replies. “I’ve only owned him 3 years!”
This is exactly the situation the Iowa pres faced in the 1960s when Evy ran the program into the ground and it took them 15 years to climb out of the hole. Barta and Ferentz have done the same thing. Hate to be Beth.
The one that got a legit laugh out of me was this one:
“A few plays into the drive, Gronowski took a gutsy shot downfield on 3rd and 2 that was called for pass interference, giving the Hawkeyes yet another huge break on a Cyclone error.”
That “gutsy shot” was a ball thrown to a spot 30 yards from any player that was an obvious attempt to draw a PI. If uncatchable was still a thing it wouldn’t have been a penalty.
End of October we get BYU. That should be a tough one.
I’m guessing the clock operator. The ref had an issue with him/her. Must have been a hook up in Friday night or turned him down
Same here. The library was a block north of my fraternity and I often told my parents about the amount of time that I spent there. Then they came to visit and they understood The reality.
There's no way that anyone in college football throws a better ball to the sideline/deep fade. It's a work of art. Rocco isn't perfect, but he's the definition of a gamer. Our receivers have a ton of room to improve, which is an exciting thought beacuse Eskildsen/Overby/Townsend/ and even Sowell's physicality on the late catch have flashed some ability. If we can just get two to emerge, we are going to be really good on that side of the ball.
The ultimate "ball don't lie" moment after the no call pass interference on the Eskildsen deep ball.
I'm glad we forced Iowa to unveil it against us. Now it's on tape for all their future opponents to prepare for.
Yeah. The ref was somewhat diplomatic about it, but apologized to the stadium for the clock operator not doing his or her job.
How how about Gundy's great teams, Mangino at KU, Pinkle at Mizzou, the Air Raid at Tech. It was a great conference. Even when it went to just 10 teams it was good. It was a tough deal, going round robin in a league with maybe only one bottom feeder on ISUs schedule (most years KU). That is why Iowa State strength of schedule was so high most of the time. If we were playing all of those Big 12 West Schedules for a number of years we would have a better record too.
The Big 10 played only 8 conference games forever, most of the time Iowa avoided a couple of the heavyweights. As a matter of fact, in most of Iowa's regular season titles, the tied for it and didn't even play the co-champ. The Big 10 was able to get more BSC spots because they didn't play a title game and didn't have to risk a team getting knocked out. It was a propped up rigged league for years with national media lke Kirk Herstriet protecting them and propaganding for them.
Brahmer is another Charlie Kohlar, but Burkle is a combination of Allen, Soehner and Kohlar in the best way. He honestly might be the best player on the team.
I started watching football around 1988 and big 12 was the better football conference over big ten nearly every single year right until this last round when Big Ten broke the Pac and SEC took OU/tx. Hilarious we already see myths that big ten was always as stacked as it is now. It was slow football for a long time.
