Random Michigan Game Rant

[HawkeyePride24]

I'm a displaced Iowan. Born in Burlington and lived in Davenport.

No I live 20 minutes north of Ann Arbor (For 9 years) . It sucks. I need Iowa to win badly. Got to have bragging rights for as long as I can. Last 4 meetings have been rough.

I sense a mild case of apathy from the Hawkeye fanbase, not sure why but this is a "must win" for Iowa to get on a roll in the toughest part of the schedule. We need Kirk, Tim, Phil, Chris, and Team all locked in from the start. No ******** big play in the beginning from Michigan.

Why the f#$% are we worrying about passing the ball? **** pisses me off we have to "worry" about passing every damn year.

Many Michigan fans are bandwagon. Oh and they are all saying we shouldn't even show up because well, we suck.

People here assume I'm a Michigan fan and randomly will say "Go Blue!" and I am about to lose it.

Michigan is the most corrupt program in the Big Ten. They deserve nothing.

Ann Arbor is a dirty ********. I worked on "State" street. Smells like a nasty sewer.


Just watched the 2002 game. Banks, Lewis, and Clark were fun to watch. Zone blocking working like a charm. We must have ran the jail break screen a half dozen times.




I know, it's not about me. I've been a Hawkeye since I was 11 and now I'm 53 and I'm at that point where a "statement" game is needed to propel us into Ohio St week.


Iowa will play tough, smart, physical football.

Michigan as a state is beautiful. Falls are amazing.... Love that part. MSU fans are tolerable but Michigan fans are insufferable.

Apathy from the Iowa fanbase? I can’t agree with that. If anything, many fans (at least on this board), seem a bit overconfident to me.

Agree it’s a big game, and the Hawks will need to be able to throw the ball.

That is quite the rant. My 10 or so friends that watch the hawks because they are hawk fans are really pretty pumped about this team. So far we see a defense that is everywhere on every play and not giving up much of any big plays. Diaz RVZ and our receivers, our TEnds, and running backs are doing great. Pass blocking has been very good. Our run game will beat them if they get some holes. Iowa state clowns play sort of a junk defense curling their outside lbkrs all over the place and trying to penetrate 7-8 guys to disrupt the run. Well the hawks finally solved that and qb Brown has been throwing it well.

I think our offense can move the ball on Mich and get the win with defense and special teams also.

If indeed Iowa needs to be able to throw the ball to win, better hope the run game is getting some milage

That's fair. But remember I said "mild apathy" - We are playing one of the most well financed rosters in college football. QB alone is worth $12 million?? Total roster value is $32M and some change? This is just a big game that I'm not seeing as much as hype as I thought I would.

I feel your pain as an Iowan in Omaha, except I have the benefit of Iowa being Nebraska's daddy.

I would hate it if Iowa always lost.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

It's not apathy. It's apprehension.

Consider -

A. Last year was a very good team, but fell short in 4 big games. Just couldn't seem to make the big stop or the big play to get over the hump. Very experienced team, veteran QB. Great kicker.

B. The last few games against Mich have been humbling. Not competitive at all on offense. Defense fought hard but got no help. Pretty much just beat downs.

C. Offense looked very familiar against ISU. No run, some pass. Scratch out a win over a team put together in 6 months. At home.

D. This team is young. QB is inexperienced. Worried about digging a hole early.

Add it up and you get apprehension.

I'm actually more worried about Iowa than I am about Michigan.

To be Michigan's Daddy for at minimum for a year would be awesome. I would say to random Michigan fans "Hey did Michigan beat Iowa last year?" Knowing damn well they did. Just to hear these insufferable pricks admit they lost would be like Christmas every day....-

I think the best part is Nebraska fans don't even want to talk football after week 5 or 6.

They def don't talk shid leading up to the game. Last year it ended abruptly after their Minnesota game.

I have despised that fanbase since the 2023 B1G champ game. Their fans SUCK.

The people I met who actually went to Michigan were cool. The problem is that that is like 1% of the fanbase. The rest are bandwagon losers like you said. Would love to kick their ***.

I know what you mean Hawkeye Pride. In 2023 I retired to West Michigan, a ways north of Muskegon. Beautiful country and I can hear the ships sounding their horns at night.

My cousin is coming over for the game tomorrow, we are a lot alike except he is die-hard Blue. We agree the game could go either way. Someday perhaps I will take him to a game in Kinnick Stadium, he's only seen it on television..

Well summarized points.

The last couple of games at Michigan Stadium were over before halftime. Monumental hang-your-head in shame *** whippings. The embarrassment was so great that instead of feeling angry, as normal, I felt really sorry for Ferentz. He was humiliated. The cameras frequently showed the Michigan sideline essentially celebrating the entire 2nd half.

If Michigan fans have expectation that they will romp on Saturday you cannot blame them. They witnessed all of it. Frankly, the mocking is probably deserved.

The last game at Ann Arbor ended at 10-3 so I'm struggling to understand how that was a monumental hang-your-head in shame azz whipping that was over before halftime.

You’re right. I was remembering the BTCGs in Indianapolis 26-0 & 42-3 losses….and we should acknowledge that Harbaugh called off the dogs early (probably not to embarrass KF further)

The 10-3 loss is respectable but a quick look at the 3 games discussed show a 78-6 scoring gap.

I do think Michigan is somewhat vulnerable this year. I really hope the Iowa offense can move the ball against the Wolverine defense for once - I’m skeptical but also curious/hopeful with Lester calling plays now.

Should we acknowledge that one of those games was determined to have been played with an unfair competitive advantage?

Should we acknowledge that '22/'23 wouldn't have looked anything like it did without substantial bad luck having added up against the Hawks?

Any independent investigator would determine '22/'23 to have been throw away years, within about 5 minutes.

Completely atypical and not representative of Hawkeye football for over two decades. And accompanied by very obvious and traceable factors that had almost nothing to do with the coaching staff.

The investigator, having a thirst for answers, would in short time direct his inquiry into what in the hell is wrong with football fans
