If the offense, especially the passing game, gets stuck in neutral early on .... the crowd that's had all morning and day to lubricate will be more likely to let their boo birds out of their cages.

Gronowski and the receivers need to get it cranked up ASAP. Not only to keep the boos silent, but also because they need to get it working if they want to play ~.500 (or better) ball in the B1G.

Welp, these Christmas lights aren't gonna hang themselves!

What a horrible playcall!

MG and/or these receivers suck!

Iowa is up 10, time for KF to call for the closing of the playbook and salt this one away in prep for next week!

Is there a reason people are clogging an Iowa game thread with ISU/Ark St updates instead of not making a dedicated thread and then posting them to that thread instead?

Only speaking for myself, but the Iowa/ISU game is waaaaay in the rear view mirror now.

I couldn't care any less what the Clowns do the rest of season.

Boy- KSU is stinking it up on the field losing to Army then to Arizona …. Never saw that coming
As I posted earlier, it just show the worth of pre season rankings. Other the the top 6-8 teams which everybody could pick most years, they are meaningless until Oct.

I dunno how in the heck they would score 45 points, with ostrenga out and all. maybe running backs?
I can see us running up the score via the ground game dominating a massively overmatched umass defense. And when we do, it tells us ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It was embarrassing having to “wear down” the Albany defense to finally start to pull away. I have a hunch we’ll do better than that tonight but still give us zero confidence we can do that against a team with a pulse.

I will always remember Ferentz breaking the collegiate win record with a huge win over powerhouse UMass in Iowa City.
Extremely on-point post. YAY…Iowa scores monumental victory against…(checks note)…UMASS…to earn Ferentz the all time win record. Why does that actually seem fitting…?

It's a little soon for Christmas lights. I'd go with "those leaves aren't going to rake themselves," or "those rain gutters aren't getting any cleaner."

Georgia just scored TD with 2:32 left to get within 2 at Tennessee. 2 point conversion ... Good.

We are tied at 38 with 2:32 left. ABC ...

Soon my butt.

Get them damn things up now and save the cold rage of trying to do it right after Thanksgiving. Likely scares the kids more at Halloween too.

:ROFLMAO:

If only Jim Gray was working the postgame interview later: "Kirk, now that you have broken the all-time Big Ten wins record, have you considered retiring at the end of the season?"

I don't mind the 7p kick next Friday, but this game should never have kicked any later than 2:30p.

Nice to see an Iowa player color commentating this game.
