Cyhawk postgame thread

[Kinch]

On this crucial play, all five of the Iowa lineman had the opportunity to turn and watch their QB get taken to the ground. Rare that all 5 get to enjoy the show. Usually they would be busy doing something.


btw, we had a QB spy called. Worked beautifully.

Basically two rushers at the start.

quote of the week.
Ferentz was asked about losing 10 straight games to ranked opponents:
"Yeah, thanks for reminding me. I wasn't aware of that, actually. So, I mean, we're three points short today; that's about all I can say.”

Impossible question to answer in that moment but that’s hilarious haha

My follow up would be, “so you would be satisfied with a tie?”

It was incredible to live through Saturday, looking back and seeing all of the great publicity out of Ames makes it even better.

FANTASTIC exposure for our program. This one will stick in the Hoks craw for a LONG time.

BNK in Ames might mark the official time of death of Ferentz/UI FB

What an F you to the fans

9-3 is out of the question. They are not beating Penn State, Oregon, or USC on the road. Add in Wisconsin and Nebraska road games

I know Nebraska has had a lot of struggles beating Iowa, but I don’t see Iowa winning in Lincoln either. That Indiana home game will be tough for them too.

 

[awd4cy]

I wouldn’t be shocked at that. I also wouldn’t be shocked to see them finish 5-7 or something. Their schedule is not favorable.

5-7 is my prediction. Albany, UMass, Rutgers, Minnesota, and Michigan State.

Caleb baited him perfectly. Chefs kiss execution

Bacon's skill set is really well suited to spy on the QB.

If sarcastic dry boring coach-speak answers could kill...

Theyll lose to Minnesota too

5-7 is my prediction. Albany, UMass, Rutgers, Minnesota, and Michigan State.

Rutgers is on a Friday night on the road.

Minnesota just scored like 70.

I think they get at least 5. But would you be shocked even with 3?

Wouldn’t surprise me

That would be awesome. I don’t think they lose Rutgers though.

They truly make teams play down to their level and that’s the only way they win games. The big ten west allowed them to play offensive terrorism football and win 9-10 games a year. Now they can’t do it and Kirk can’t catch up to the times

And they nearly got us again. That game should have never come down to a 54 yard attempt, in which a miss gives Iowa the ball with 2 minutes left at mid-field in a tie game.

In this case it was largely due to incompetent officiating, but Konrardy saved the day. That’s not a position you want to end up in when getting the ball with 8.5 minutes left

 

[cyphoon]

5-7 is my prediction. Albany, UMass, Rutgers, Minnesota, and Michigan State.

I think they will be 6-5 going into the game against Nebraska. Same wins you listed plus Wisconsin. I don't think Fickell knows how to handle Ferentzball.

Indiana has historically struggled with the same problem, but its difficult to see Iowa beating them with their putrid offense.

I would say Iowa's floor is 3 wins and their ceiling 7.

70 should have had a PF called against him.

70 should have had a PF called against him.

Agreed. These officials saw nothing all day.

 

[nhclone]

Agreed. These officials saw nothing all day.

Pretty obvious hold on the last play they swallowed the whistle on too. McDonough gave them fits when we turned him loose.

Iowa is paying Gronowski $2.1 million to set records, and you could certainly say he's setting records.

Some of these players, getting big NIL salary, could retire right after they graduate. Stange times.
