*****Iowa St vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[IowaCityLit]

I’d be shocked if HB isn’t #1 on the depth chart next week.

Oh I’m sure he will be. But again Iowa doesn’t have a starting QB

 

[ottumwan in tx]

As I’ve said all along, the Hawks don’t have a QB cause they didn’t go get one.

Now looks like Hank is KF chosen one cause he’s the least likely to throw an interception. It’s absurd.

What we all got to learn about Iowa and Kirk is : he does not care what fans think. Yes, you may think hank is not as good as heck. Maybe so. I dunno. Stanzi, McCann, banks, so on. Petras. Stanley. Been going on a while, He don’t care. He picks one and stays with him. Thus he is the starter now. Crown him!! He is hank the king!!

Is your point a starting caliber qb?

 

[Anon1750875978]

If you watch the replay on the game winner...the holder saved a bad snap.

 

[TRHawkeye28]

It seems like it doesn’t matter how good Iowa is or how bad Iowa state is , the score is always 16-13

I was just going to post something like this...

You can basically just throw this game away after it's played. It doesn't seem to determine how Iowa does the rest of the year

Although...I believe there is a stat where a win against the clowns results in at least 8 or 9 wins a majority of the time

It’s 100% obvious when the choice is made and it sticks like glue and is always and forever. See Kyle McCann.

Ya unless he starts throwing piss missiles 6 yards in front of the receivers feet like Jake Christensen, it will likely be Brown all year.

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

I suppose it’s not good if you’re looking for reasons to be disappointed.

I was looking for reasons to be enthused. This game set up for a bit of a stomping by us. I'm not one to celebrate underperformance but you do you.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Well that is Iowa in a nutshell for 3 decades. Ha ha

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Terrible snap. The holder and the kick, play of the day, play of the day, what's that? Play of the day.

 

[IowaCityLit]

Yes. They have QBs not worthy of a P4 team with playoff aspirations. Not close. It’s frustrating but it is what it is.

It's Kirk's litmus test.

I’ll always celebrate a win vs ISU.

Yes it was. Reminiscent of Tory Taylor at Nebraska for game winner in 23’.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

I would fully expect a trash game in the future by hank, let us say OSU and or MICH, a beat down… and I would not be shocked at all when Kirk stays with him no matter what.

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Terrible analogy. Brad even said, he wasn't ready to be the starter in 2001.

Playoffs? Who is talking playoffs? Playoffs?

Just another reason to get rid of this series.

I know but the fans wanted McCann benched and banks to be put in!! Recall that? KF did not care what fans thought.

 

[IowaCityLit]

Well KFs goal isn’t playoffs so why should ours be?

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Then 2002 happened.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Well KFs goal isn’t playoffs so why should ours be?

Exactly my point. I started figuring that out in the 2000’s. That the goal was to win like 8 games, maybe 9. The occasional big ten champ game. Occasional good bowl. But bowLs always. But never national champs. Never a losing season. It’s kind of like Iowa level mediocrity. The fact that they finally beat isu has got me wondering: What this year may hold?

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Then 2002 happened.

Yeah and the fans were like: I wonder what 2001 could have been?? In all honesty though 2001 ended in an alamobowl win over Texas Tech, I was at that game. I also went to the orange bowl beat down by usc. I kind of like winning bowl games. Better than losing.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

So, I moved to austin in 1990. Their goal here is for UT to win the national champ game every single year. That is the deal. Now, this yr they got a better shot at it since they beat OSU tonight. But usually they really have no shot. Especially since they joined the SEC. But they persist. That is the goal. Yes they have a few natty games, like I think maybe 1970, maybe like 2006 0r 2007. A few tries when they lost to Alabama, recently. Lost to Washington huskies in the playoffs a few yrs ago.But I always wondered what it would be like to have that goal every year for Iowa? It is a strange thought.

 

[3-D_chess]

Oh I’m sure he will be. But again Iowa doesn’t have a starting QB

Why the hell would we wanna have a starting QB when we could have a starting game manager?!?

 

[Anon1750875978]

The thing that kinda pisses me off was the play of the ISU punt coverage team.

Fun fact...that kid is the son of my son in laws good friend from college.
Matson from Humboldt.
Hopefully, someone takes out his knee next year in Ames.

That happened last night in the Mizzou/Kansas game. Mizzou player tried it and was quickly jumped by 10 Kansas players. Doubt the Mizzou player ever tries it again.

That should be the standard, every year, especially with this coaching staff and fan support.

Tonight’s win is going to do a lot of heavy lifting if they end up 10-2.

I always referred to him as Skippy. No one threw a 5 yard pass, 2 yards in front, skipping it into their legs better than Skippy.

Remember 2009, UNI game?

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Yup, safe to say JH is done for the season with the exception of next week's garbage time....

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Hank wasn't so bad that he needed to be replaced. The drive in the 2nd quarter for the tuddy was yuge. And then Iowa won after being down double digits. That's rare air in the KF era.

Let's pump the brakes and let the season play out. There's a reason a SEC team recruited him.

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

Remember 2009, UNI game?

From 17 years ago? Yep. I was in my 30s. I'm now 54. Lol.

 

[WigPen]

Do you guys think Kirk should get some lip fillers?

Ducklips would be all the difference! Make the chewing a lot sexier.

 

[Hawksfor3]

WE DID IT

**** THE CYCLOWNS
**** THE CYCLOWNS
**** THE CYCLOWNS

,,,and Wisky.

 

[rchawk]

,,,and Wisky.

And **** THE GOPHERS

This was the clowns Super Bowl. They don't want to **** anybody the rest of the year.

I don’t know man, the idea of Hank going into the big house against Michigans defense scares the shlt out of me and I’m afraid Hank will look like barney fife back there.

You can almost bet money on it. Because Iowa hawks stuff. And history. Or it is 2002 all over again like brad banks style. {Probably not }

 

[3-D_chess]

Iowa by 24 points 37-13
Hecklinski 2 TDs

1 question, just one question:

Is the HAWKEYE/CYCLONE rivalry ... NU2U
???
