*****Iowa vs Michigan Game Thread*****

First series, first down we passed. On the next 7 first downs, we ran the ball. At the end of the first in two min situation, we passed on first down, which is an obvious situation. In the second half, we didnt pass on first down until the 4th quarter.

And? Or are you saying it needs to be scheduled and predictable?

Did Michigan injury just set up the crazy chance for the miraculous winner here for Iowa?!!?!!?

Wow, what a difference from your last couple of posts about what a coward KF is. Take your meds did you?

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Kirk crying always gets me.

I guess "the coward" as many posted just knows his players and cares about them..........

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

He's crying because he knows he almost choked away the game.

And some on here don't deserve to call themselves "fans" of this team or the coach

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

The first one was a terrible pass that was tracked and caught because the TE stayed locked on. 2nd was a thing of beauty.

Under a lot of pressure from three rushers, and he HAD to throw the ball, or get sacked and the game would have ended

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Dude it was thrown under pressure to the only spot where Ostrenga could catch it between 3 UM defenders.

AND if he took a sack there the game was over.

Quote of the day:

“One thing about these guys is that they don’t quit,” Hawkeyes head coach Kirk Ferentz said in a postgame interview. “It wasn’t perfect, but they don’t give up.”

Do the whiners/quitters on this board ever self reflect and think 'maybe I shouldn't post that I gave up on the team'?

I'd add that many here don't understand that's its Kirks even demeanor that keeps this team grounded and they don't get down on themselves, and play to the end. And yet you get the "stupid Kirk" and "coward" posts. Its called LEADERSHIP folks.

Winning time.....

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

You must feel stupid today. Glad Kirk proved you wrong yet again.

No kidding. I wonder how the coaches and players in OUR locker room feel about the guy? You know, the ONLY thing that really matters when it comes to their play on the field..

How'd you like the last throw of the gam

Iowa found a winner in Hank Brown. He did not flinch in the clutch, Does he still have two years of eligibility after this season.? It is nice to know that we may have some continuity at the position for a while.
Great win. Still a BAD decision. to try a FG on the 4th and six play. (akin to his clock management in Orlando on the Holloway play) The defense and very conservative play calling by Michigan bailed him out, as well as some great throws by Hank. All in all, a great night for the hawks and in the end, I am thankful that Coach Ferentz has been so loyal to Iowa and has stuck around through thick and thin.
