With competent officials who would have flagged (maybe even an ejection or two) the Clown dirty play and cheating this is what last week’s game would have looked like.

F the Clowns. Always.
Don't be a clone and continue to talk about "that" game after it's in the rearview mirror.

Iowa State is better than anyone thought or thinks... We were lucky to come out with a W last week... Rogers is a very good coach but he will bail the second he is offered another stepping job.

I agree with you about the first part on Rogers. Many fans seem in denial that Iowa State hired another good coach who almost took us out his first at bat in Kinnick.

Have no clue how long he will stay at Iowa State. I would think he would need a little time to establish himself like Campbell did. I do think he looked at the game with us as his statement game to the rest of the Big 12 and he almost pulled it off.

Is this a serious post?

Iowa should have played better last week, but Iowa State is infinitely better than UNI. UNI is terrible.
If the refs call that game correctly…Iowa could have easily won with a score something like 21-3. Oh well, it’s over…looking forward to rest of the season.

Had a further thought about Rogers. The next step up from the Big 12 seems the SEC or Big 10. Rogers seems too early in his career for that level. Something tells me we will have him around awhile in Ames.
He is a nomad. He gone the second any SEC, B1G or hell even ACC school gives him an offer.

just let it go. My god. A ****** transfer team played Iowa close and yoh blame the officials. They should have destroyed them. But if it makes yoh feel better to blame the officials. Keep being 4 years old

It will be an interesting game with Utah coming in next week. Could be a real good game.

Yeah, I felt bad for UNI….it might be time for college football to keep FBS separate from playing FCS schools. If for nothing else, in the name of safety. 😎

It certainly appears that they are much better than was projected based on the first three games.

Head football coaches don't go to Clown College to retire there, that's for sure.

F the Clowns.
The more frustrating part of it is that Iowa should be at 0 TDs allowed through first 3 games, which is impressive. Instead, the refs missed a massive hold ISU's only TD https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/isus-only-td-was-a-massive-hold.8987025/#post-189738129

And why would any of this matter?

Both of the two W's will forever look identical in the record book
