Iowa vs. Iowa State Game Thread

[Wild Onion]

Ten minutes until kickoff. Confidence is high.

[Wild Onion]

Chizek wants them to "play their butt off"

[Wild Onion]

I really like ISU's uniforms.

[Vepr]

I can understand wanting to establish the run early but how about establishing a first down before worrying about getting the run going?

[Vepr]

Well this first series is starting off ugly for the Hawkeye defense. It is possible that Syracuse was just that bad. The Illini are beating them 17-0.

[atemp]

Way to go Kirk lose to a crap ass program like this again.

[Vepr]

Glad they only got 3. A little less pressure on the offense but they have to move the ball. Hopefully we trying to get some passes in this time instead of run - run - try to pass - punt.

[Wild Onion]

The Hawks got pressure up the middle on Meyer once when he rolled out right for the first down, but after that, nothing.

I still don't think there's anyway ISU's going to be able to run.

[Vepr]

Maybe not with their running backs but Meyer could give us a lot of problems in the running department.

[Karl Hungus]

The Hawks got pressure up the middle on Meyer once when he rolled out right for the first down, but after that, nothing.

I still don't think there's anyway ISU's going to be able to run.

They won't run, but I am concerned about pressure on Meyer either way. We ALWAYS struggle against competently mobile QBs.

[Vepr]

Well at least it was not three and out. Sounds like they are getting pressure on the Jake which is not good. Come on Defense crush them for a quick three and out.

[Karl Hungus]

Don't want to be concerned at this point, but I've seen this too many times before :shock:

[atemp]

Iowa makes Bret Meyer look like Vince Young. Todd Blythe is slower than shit, but Iowa still can't cover him.

[castichawk24]

relax erybody, only the 1st quarter.

[Soda Popinski]

Our defense looks like a bunch of pussies so far.

[Vepr]

Whew glad they will not be able to run on us.

[hawkchick79]

Don't want to be concerned at this point, but I've seen this too many times before :shock:

Yep.

[castichawk24]

another field goal. no big deal. lets go hawks.

[Vepr]

We could use a score here even if it is just a field goal.

[Vepr]

Good first down.

[castichawk24]

wow, i can't imagine trying to raise my lil brother (if i had one) good like that kid.

[Vepr]

It sounds like they are selling out on the run so something has to be open in the passing game.

[FrankDrebin]

we really need to sustain a drive.

[FrankDrebin]

It sounds like they are selling out on the run so something has to be open in the passing game.

sounds like nobody is getting open

[Karl Hungus]

Another good punt

[Vepr]

Or we need a turn over now after a 15 yard punt. Christ on a crutch.

[Wild Onion]

This is awful

[castichawk24]

i'm not sure what the panic level colors are for our country. but i'm moving my level up to yellow.

[Vepr]

Why do we always play like crap vs ISU?

[Karl Hungus]

I am hoping we can do more on offense with the wind in Q2

[Vepr]

Meyer is killing us.

[feces hurling monkey]

Another nice punt by Shanky.

[FrankDrebin]

Every year we play ISU in Ames, I end up wondering how the Clones look so bad up until they play us...

[castichawk24]

its a mystery i don't think we'll ever solve frank.

[Vepr]

God I hope they just had a slow start and the Hawks do not sleep walk through the rest of the game.

[Karl Hungus]

No pressure by the front four = our defense looks terrible

Saw it all year last year, and we are seeing it today

[FrankDrebin]

nice hit by Edds there

[Wild Onion]

If Meyer continues to complete 75-80% of his passes, the Hawks will lose.

[Wild Onion]

I think the secondary is doing their jobs. All of the passes are underneath. Hawks just need more pressure.

[castichawk24]

panic time!

[atemp]

Pay a coach $3 million a year to come out and lay turds every year.

[Hwkhaze]

We need to score on this drive BAD

[FrankDrebin]

Maybe Sandeman or DJK can come up with a big return here.

[atemp]

panic time!

It was panic time at 3-0, Iowa just didn't get the memo.

[Vepr]

Well this will at least let us see what they team is made of. That could have been worse but 9 - 0 still sucks. Hopefully this is not Panther state at the end of the game.

[HawkInGopherland]

back from soccer...wtf???

[Karl Hungus]

9-0 is the best possible position to be in right now.

However, no points on this drive = panic time

[Vepr]

Are they at least getting their ears chewed on by the coaches?

[Vepr]

Christ three stooges time.

[FrankDrebin]

bad drop. we can't have a lot of those this game.

[atemp]

Are they at least getting their ears chewed on by the coaches?

No Kirk is calm...

[Karl Hungus]

Jake can really throw that long ball

[Hwkhaze]

DAMN

[Vepr]

Well lets hope that at least this punt is over 15 yards.

[atemp]

Time to stop recruiting slow ass white linebackers from high schools in po-dunk Iowa.

[Vepr]

Is he our only punter?

[Vepr]

Come on guys force a turn over. Our offense needs the ball inside the 50 to have any chance at putting points on the board.

[Soda Popinski]

I think we should adjust our strategy to moving the ball downfield on offense, and getting some QB pressure on Defense. We might want to try covering the receivers also.

[Vepr]

Meyer has no pressure on him and he is just eating us up.

[atemp]

If you can't recruit players to cover that slow Blythe you shouldn't be making $3mm a year.

[Vepr]

It is times like this that I wish Ferentz had a little more fire on the sideline.

[FrankDrebin]

good stop. good to see some emotion.

[Vepr]

Good stop. If I were them I would go for it though with the way we are playing.

[Karl Hungus]

I think we should adjust our strategy to moving the ball downfield on offense, and getting some QB pressure on Defense. We might want to try covering the receivers also.

Tell Iowa that, you might get a couple mil for it :roll:

[hawkchick79]

Great, now Jake's hurt. Hopefully not too bad.


And they just converted the 4th down. Eff.

[Vepr]

Christ.

[Vepr]

Sadly enough up to this point UNI has a better team than we do.

[atemp]

Too many white guys on defense. Bryan Mattison is the most underrated player in Iowa history.


I love fricking zone defense.

[Soda Popinski]

ISU receivers are WIDE OPEN every play, their O-Line is bullying ours. We're giving the receivers a 15 yard cushion and getting no pressure on the O-Line.

Im embarassed.

[HawkInGopherland]

I'm getting really pissed...why can't our coaches and players do the same?

[Vepr]

Maybe it is the fact that we are so fricking predictable that you can watch game tape from 5 years ago and game plan for us in the present.

[atemp]

ISU receivers are WIDE OPEN every play, their O-Line is bullying ours. We're giving the receivers a 15 yard cushion and getting no pressure on the O-Line.

Im embarassed.

Welcome to 2005, 2006,...

No need to change anything you know.

[castichawk24]

bend but don't win, baby! lets sick back on our heels and let them have those underneath routes all day long. it doesn't work when you don't have 8 nfl players on your defense norm. figure it out.

[Karl Hungus]

The weak O Lines of N Ill and Syracuse covered up this fact, but other than King, our D-Line just isn't very good. (sorry Mr. Hawk, I know you love Matteson)

[atemp]

Kenny Iwebema sucks.

[FrankDrebin]

This is going to be a long day...

[newsbreaker]

In a word.....CHRIST

[atemp]

I love it when Shada celebrates.

[Vepr]

This is going to be a long year...

[Vepr]

We are going to lose 21-0 on 7 field goals.

[iowahawkeyess]

Wow. Parker and O'Keef (sp?) haven't learned a damn thing.

3rd and 3 and Parker has us in a mini-prevent defense.

Iowa State is just running a wide reciever across the field against a linebacker and killing us.

Iowa State's kicker is having the game of his life.

We can and should be running all over Iowa State but choose to pass way more than we run.

This game is just rolling along and Iowa State is eating clock. It is one of those too little too late.

I think we have the talent, but the game has passed our coaches by.

[atemp]

Kirk Ferentz - Iowa Coach for Life.

[Vepr]

Maybe we are just holding back so Wiscy does not see what we have. :lol:

[atemp]

Yep, who's in charge of that.....Kirk Ferentz, both of those bozos should not have been brought back. KOK and Kirk are BFF's so good luck with that.

[FrankDrebin]

Kirk Ferentz - Iowa Coach for Life.

dude--you have a lot of hate.

[atemp]

offense is so predictable....

[Soda Popinski]

You'd think we are winning when you see Kirk on the sideline. I'm glad that screen worked, I think it was a terrible call.

[FrankDrebin]

Not that bad of a call. they had it defended well and it still got the first.

[FrankDrebin]

Christensen is getting killed though.

[Karl Hungus]

Sims can't block. AY should be in on any passing situation.

[atemp]

I think one of the slow white guys will create a turnover here on defense.

[iowahawkeyess]

This game is over. Our coaches cannot coach anymore. We are way too predictable and our players have zero fire.

This is really awful. We can't even move the ball against a team that Kent State and UNI crushed.

Pathetic.

[Soda Popinski]

Yeah, we should have just left the o-lineman in Iowa City, they aren't doing much of anything anyways.

[Vepr]

They cannot score going into half. I am not sure if it would matter if we stop them though I think we have lost because adjustment at half has never been this group of coaches strong point.

[atemp]

This game is over. Our coaches cannot coach anymore. We are way too predictable and our players have zero fire.

This is really awful. We can't even move the ball against a team that Kent State and UNI crushed.

Pathetic.

Coaches should've been changed last year, but hey you can't question Kirk Ferentz.

[Karl Hungus]

Be prepared for a couple of bombs against mis-matches

I feel very confident on Moylan and Dalton vs Blythe in a jump ball situation

[atemp]

Bryan (most underrated player in Iowa FB History) is getting destroyed.

[Karl Hungus]

Be prepared for a couple of bombs against mis-matches

I feel very confident on Moylan and Dalton vs Blythe in a jump ball situation

ISU just gave us a gift by not pressing it down the field

[atemp]

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the Iowa locker room....

Kirk: "just keep going guys"...

[castichawk24]

ess- you nailed it bud. i've been questioning the all mighty kirk and his gang for awhile now, but nobody seems to listen. the dude has won only 52% of his games at iowa. i understand that he had a 'bare cupboard' when he got here, but give me a break. the program is going backwards.

[Vepr]

12-0 is not out of reach but it sounds like the coaches and players are getting out played.

[Vepr]

Uggghhhh. 41-10 Illini Syracuse. Cuse is just that bad. This is going to be a long year again.

[Vepr]

Crap out of time outs so one shot. Please god get a miracle touchdown.

[Vepr]

And we get to give them the ball at the start of next half.

[The Game]

Offense just can't get anything started.

Typical friggin offense on the road.

[atemp]

Uggghhhh. 41-10 Illini Syracuse. Cuse is just that bad. This is going to be a long year again.


...and Northern Illinois got beat by a Div 1-AA team last week.....then again so did Iowa State.

[newsbreaker]

Some of you need to take a freaking nap. When you get up, fix yourself a drink and then sit quietly for a few minutes.

Offense looks horrible, mostly the O-Line. This is pretty much what ISU's offense has looked like, however they haven't had the big turnovers they've had the past two weeks. We need to find a way to create one.

[Vepr]

Well in the end even though our defense is not playing the greatest this one is on our offense so far. 12 points is not a big deal in a half especially when it is all on field goals. Our offense sucks rocks. They are keeping the defense on the field by not getting any first downs. Not sure if it is just crappy coaching or the offensive players especially the line just have their heads up their ass. I would hope the coaches are cussing the team and themselves in the locker room. 59 total yards of offense is pathetic.

[Wild Onion]

DJK is an idiot. Get the eff out of bounds.

[iowahawkeyess]

ess- you nailed it bud. i've been questioning the all mighty kirk and his gang for awhile now, but nobody seems to listen. the dude has won only 52% of his games at iowa. i understand that he had a 'bare cupboard' when he got here, but give me a break. the program is going backwards.

I agree. Kirk is a middle of the road coach at this point. He had a few good years where a number of walk ons and lower end players turned out to be very special. We caught a number of breaks and bounces during those years as well.

Now it appears we are back to the Kirk who coached at Maine. His downfall in coaching will be that he is far too loyal. He should have changed coordinators 2 years ago not to mention that we have had way too many off the field problems.

This game was a watershed game for Iowa. It was the game that showed if we had truly learned from the past and had a new attitude for the future.

It appears nothing has changed. Nothing.

[lilzaphod]

just kill me. lucky not to be down by 28

[HawkInGopherland]

Norm's defense is more predictable than a sitcom plot.

I want to see a full four quarters before I press the panic button on the entire program.

[Vepr]

Like I said earlier this will let us know what the team is made of this year. Hopefully they come out and play their asses off in the second half.

If we are just this bad I hate to see what is going to happen in big ten play. :x

[atemp]

Look at Iowa's schedule....Indiana will throttle them their QB is way better than Meyer, and James Hardy will run circles around Iowa.

Maybe it will take a 2 or 3 win season for Kirk to wake the hell up and get rid of his BFF KOK.

[Wild Onion]

The story of this game isn't strategy, it's the fact that the Hawks are getting manhandled in the trenches.

[FrankDrebin]

It is as though some of you have never seen a team lose a football game before.

[Vepr]

Yeah if we have a 6 or less win year I will not be ready to call for Kirks head but he will have to change something with the offensive and defensive coaching.

[atemp]

The story of this game isn't strategy, it's the fact that the Hawks are getting manhandled in the trenches.

Even the most underrated (or do-nothing) player in Iowa history Bryan Mattison.

Glad you are happy with the way things are going.

I will give you this though. The second half will make or break the entire year.

[HawkInGopherland]

It is as though some of you have never seen a team lose a football game before.

Frank...I think it is mostly that we're getting spanked by a team that couldn't beat Kent St. or UNI...

[FrankDrebin]

The story of this game isn't strategy, it's the fact that the Hawks are getting manhandled in the trenches.

Yup. I really didn't expect that. In fact, I expected Iowa to do very well on the O-Line and D-Line

[Vepr]

It is as though some of you have never seen a team lose a football game before.

Going up a against a team that has lost its last two games in convincing fashion the last one being to UNI you would hope your team would at least look like they belonged on the same field with them at half. Right now it looks like ISU is playing Central Iowa.

[FrankDrebin]

It is as though some of you have never seen a team lose a football game before.

Frank...I think it is mostly that we're getting spanked by a team that couldn't beat Kent St. or UNI...

I understand. However it is one thing to be mad, and another thing to be clueless.

Who said it didn't matter? Just come back to me with a statement that doesn't involve the coach's pay (for the 10th time) and gain yourself a little credibility.

[castichawk24]

we are worse than the 'we are Marshall' team of the commercial.

funniest comment i have ever read on this board. (only been here a day zaphod, don't hurt your arm patting yourself on the back)

[hawkchick79]

At least the Keystone Light commercial was amusing...

[FrankDrebin]

We needed that pick.

[atemp]

Shada - playmaker.

[atemp]

Here comes Blythe across the middle.

[atemp]

have to get a TD here

[Wild Onion]

We haven't seen much of Sims today

Try not to be a total idiot for just a minute.

You're jumping WAY overboard, I've seen little 5 year old girls show better football knowledge then this.

The first half was awful, but you're basing opinions of an entire program on that one half. It's stupid enough to scream and hollar about a game that's only 50% completed based on one half, forget the whole PROGRAM.

We're down less then two scores. Chill.

When people around the Big Ten say Iowa has the dumbest football fans in terms of game knowledge (and many of them DO say that) it's guys like you (at least today) that they're talking about.

[hawkchick79]

I stand by what I said and I don't think I am out of line at all. The program has been shit for the last 3 years. No matter how you try to paint it, we are 3 years removed from 2004 and have yet to see anything that says we will crawl out of the hole back to the top.

Again, if we lose to Iowa State today, a team that got killed by Kent State and UNI then I would have to say my opinions of this game regarding the Iowa program would be abcolutely valid.

[newsbreaker]

Seeing a little more fire now...big defensive series. Another turnover would be HUGE, but a stop would do just fine. Can't give up a score here.

[atemp]

Yeah baby.

[Soda Popinski]

Why does it take halftime to stop letting ISU run cross routes right through our zone D. Good series, we should have made that adjustment in the 1st quarter.

[FrankDrebin]

crap--Young went to locker room with an arm injury.

[HawkInGopherland]

KF must have texted his BF KOK to say GYHOOYA...

[Karl Hungus]

Young is back on the sidelines

[atemp]

crap--Young went to locker room with an arm injury.

That sucks, I'm comfortable with Sims, but Young will get you the short yard.

[The Game]

Nice play to start the drive.

Here we go boys.

Good ball by Christensen there, maybe the best (IMHO) of the day to check down to the best man like that.

[The Game]

Another first down.

[Karl Hungus]

Good check down by Jake

[lilzaphod]

headache...... Growing......

Team looking better....

Hawks will be my death.

[Vepr]

Good turn around so far.

[Vepr]

No matter what happens I am just happy to see them come out at half and show some balls on the field. I do not mind losing just as long as the team fights their hearts out.

FARGIN RIGHT!!!

[Wild Onion]

Why would ISU choose not to run another 6-yr out right there?

[atemp]

Thanks for the good play call on third ISU!!

Think they wanted the wind for the FG....pretty conservative, is that KOK?

[lilzaphod]

need a big grinding drive right now

[Karl Hungus]

finally missed one!

Let's get some points

[The Game]

and he missed it.

Put 7 on the board boys.

[lilzaphod]

ay still out?

Nope

[Pedro]

So I had some *ahem* things to do this afternoon, so I DVR'ed the game. I watched up to 4:30 in the 3rd quarter in about 20 minutes.

There's a lot of crap during a game that doesn't include the actual plays. This is the way to watch a game.

[newsbreaker]

Ugh, that was a big stuff for ISU.

[Karl Hungus]

no push...missed a big opportunity

[The Game]

nah, he just ran it.

[The Game]

Cubs Win, Cubs Win.

[HawkInGopherland]

damn i wish we could have converted on that third down

[newsbreaker]

CUBS WIN!

[Pedro]

He probably could have had it if he would have put his head down and bust right behind the tackle and guard.

That's ok, I have the faith.

[castichawk24]

the dempster comes through!!! marmol pitched against pujols, ankiel, and edmonds in the 8th, dempster mows down the scrubs in the 9th. nice game cubbies!

[Pedro]

Ahem, boys...we've got a little Hawk game going on here. Think we can focus now?

[newsbreaker]

Holy hell how long has it been since we've seen a pass batted down like that?!?!?

[HawkInGopherland]

seems we're getting into a groove both on D and O at the right time. we really need a good solid drive with a TD here to put the big momentum back our way.

[newsbreaker]

WOW, did that look like a sure pick to anyone else. I think that ball had an after burner on it.

[FrankDrebin]

We need the karma of HiG's glasses.

[Karl Hungus]

Jake needs to tuck it when he is out in the open like that...

[lilzaphod]

sandeman not looking bad for a frosh

[HawkInGopherland]

We need the karma of HiG's glasses.
Ok...your wish is my command...

[FrankDrebin]

Man, this game is driving me nuts..

[newsbreaker]

You have GOT to be kidding me.

[hawkchick79]

Eff.

[lilzaphod]

fuck me

[Soda Popinski]

Our line blows.

[HawkInGopherland]

this one is going to be a loss I'm afraid...and i'm usually a glass half full guy.

[Pedro]

D'oh!

[Karl Hungus]

3 and out and we are still ok as we should get good field position

[Pedro]

<font>DEFENSE</font>

[newsbreaker]

fuck me

We all feel like we're getting fucked right now, and I mean straight in the brownstar, so you're just going to have to get in line.

[HawkInGopherland]

What is Chizek thinking with these last few play calls? He's burned 12 seconds off the clock and no yards.

[newsbreaker]

Woof, got a way with a call there!

[The Game]

Wow.

17-0 Michigan.

Mike Hart backing up his guarantee.

[lilzaphod]

shada got lucky there

[FrankDrebin]

Wow.

Mike Hart backing up his guarantee.

[lilzaphod]

Uncatchable Ball.

[newsbreaker]

shada got lucky there

Uncatchable Ball.

You don't get that no-call very often.

[castichawk24]

defensive holding doesn't have to have a catchable ball.

[Karl Hungus]

big third down...

[The Game]

Yes it is.

[lilzaphod]

is jake the white brad banks?

[Karl Hungus]

uggggg

[newsbreaker]

Oof, here we go.

[The Game]

Big kick.

[Karl Hungus]

nicely done

let's go D!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Soda Popinski]

Fuckin A Cotton! Fuckin A!

[hawkchick79]

Holy crap, I didn't think the FG was good.

I'm too old for this.

[The Game]

Hold them please.

[newsbreaker]

He had a mile on it!!!

Alright defense, go finish this thing.

[Pedro]

I said it and I'll say it again...DEFENSE!!!

[HawkInGopherland]

i really did not think that FG would be good...

[Karl Hungus]

bend but don't break might not get it done here...

I am thinking it's going to come down to an ISU field goal

[HawkInGopherland]

shada got lucky there
I think they called Jake "Tate" at one point...

These announcers aren't the best I've seen.

[newsbreaker]

Gonna have to do better then this.

[Karl Hungus]

Mitch Freaking KING

[Soda Popinski]

We need 3 more Mitch Kings...

[newsbreaker]

Um, shit.
