Game Thread **Official Iowa vs. Indiana Game Thread - 2:30pm on ESPN**

[douglasbader]

I make the game threads around here, boyz. Going to have to play a lot better on offense and finish drives.

 

[TH1974]

Choo chooooooo!!!

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

You're god damned right. Don't fuck with what's working.

 

[douglasbader]

I guess we know that @howler is the Anti-Doug now.

 

[douglasbader]

The only rankings used after this week are the official rankings, correct?

[Jimmie Dimmick]

This team has big ole road balls.

All aboard mother fuckers.

Used by whom?

By anyone showing the teams ranking like ESPN, BTN, etc....

 

[roseboundhawk]

I use whichever ranking has the Hawks highest, because all the other rankings don't know what they are talking about!!!

I *think* that's how they did it last year, but don't know for sure. Does the committee do a full 25?

Yes they do.

Top 4 in the first poll last year:
Mississippi State
Florida State
Auburn
Mississippi

I looked it up. They release a Top 25 and that is what everyone will use.

 

[Soda Popinski]

27-14 Go Hawks

 

[TH1974]

Ohio State was #16 in the first poll last year (Oct 28). Iowa will be higher than that Tuesday. Crazy.

Will be interesting to see what the committee thinks of Iowa.

Yeah, especially after a ho-hum game today.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

I'm assuming the SEC will have 3 of the top 4 spots. Because...you know.

 

[HawkLax6]

I can confirm that both BTN and Fox/FS1 will use the CFP rankings instead of the AP poll once they come out on Tuesday.

Of course they will. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fucking moron.

1. you don't fuck with a winning streak.
2. Fuck doug tho.

Shawnee had a major boner over this.

Chances they show that fucking Iowa video in the rankings reveal show?

 

[valp0]

Loog's pole is a full 12

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

So the Iowa game is the same time as Bama/LSU , TCu/Okie Lite , and Clem/fSu.

 

[CurdMan]

So the Iowa game is the same time as Bama/LSU , TCu/Okie Lite , and Clem/fSu.

Pretty sure the Bama LSU game is at 7:00. I will be rooting for LSU in that one. Think there's a much better chance of them dropping one down the stretch than Bama doing the same. Will also pull for OK St over TCU.

I will be pulling to pictures of your mom.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Love the 2:30 games

 

[CurdMan]

It's officially November and Iowa is in a big ten title race and is a nationally relevant playoff contender. Other games with top ten teams matter and watching college football is really fun again. Hawks are back folks.

Shawnee's got his wallet out, ready to make some sweet moolah.

 

[atemp]

Bad feeling about this one. IU is better than their record, good RBs, WRs, OL, and senior QB coming off of a bye. Defense is not good, game will be close.

 

[C.A.jones]

Better pass protection would help going forward.

 

[Herbie2]

1. you don't fuck with a winning streak.
2. Fuck doug tho.

its a conundrum.

When @The Anti Doug tries to start the exact same post that @douglasbader would start, @The Anti Doug is no longer true to who he is. So from now on, @The Anti Doug can fuck right off.

It is also @howler , who isn't funny to begin with.

That poll actually made me lol.

Agree with this, Indiana is the toughest game we have left on the schedule.

Playing a good QB on the road always worries me, regardless of how bad that opponent's defense.

Purdue's QB looked pretty good yesterday too, but that's at home and Nebrantska's pass defense is a sieve. Neither Leidner or Armstrong worry me.

 

[Monster]

I'm concerned this might be that signature win that Indiana hangs their collective hats on for the next 10 years.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

I'm going and I'm sure I'll jinx the shit out of the hawks.

 

[C-3PO]

Indiana is going to get their ass handed to them. Bank on it.

 

[brantshawks]

I'm currently in talks with the wife about going this weekend...

 

[douglasbader]

I'm concerned this might be that signature win that Indiana hangs their collective hats on for the next 10 years.

They should be very motivated. Iowa gave them an ass pounding last year, they are coming off a bye week, Kevin Wilson needs 6 wins to retain his job, they are fully healthy after being banged up and have gotten close to beating Ohio State and Michigan State.

Don't turn the ball over and have good run blocking and Iowa can control the game.

 

[ClintWalker]

Ohio State was lucky to get out of there with a win, it's going to be a big challenge to stay unbeaten.

 

[Mo T]

What are we thinking for an opening PS? Iowa -13???

 

[brantshawks]

Iowa -6 is my guess

Not to mention Iowa knocked Sudfeld out for the season last year as well.

 

[Tugboat]

Going down the stretch, all of Iowa's opponents are going to play with nothing to lose. Need to watch for fakes, onsides kicks, etc.

Not having an Ott pass rush is problematic against IU.

 

[Truant]

We have crapped out some big turds in Bloomington over the years. Unless a lot of Hawk fans go the stands will be half full. Trap fucking game.
