**2025 Iowa Football Season Thread**

[26.2]

Anyone been to a game at the Coliseum? I'm wondering if there's a row you want to stay above. I'm looking at tix in Row 10, mid field. Too low? @YugoslavianMountainHound

It's amazing how helpless grown ass men are sometimes.
I love you Mr Hawk, but Jesus.

 

[KitKatApples]

Take a midol

During my 25 years as a season ticket holder, I've had Us Cellular (pre-smart phone era), Verizon, and T-Mobile. They all fucking suck on game days. Switching off 5g helps a little but most of the time it teeters on unusable

100% difference maker today. Went from unable to view scores to watching the end of Nebrantska streaming by turning off 5G.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

LTE > 5G

 

[gable_guy]

I’m not sure what they’re trying to do with the plaza area. Why is there a Collars and co tent?

 

[Uff Da]

Thought the defense might struggle some this year, but, Phil has this group playing at a high level again. The secondary play has really improved. Lutmer and X have been making plays

It's like the first half of the Rutgers game was the last straw for Phil and he must have cracked some skulls at halftime, because ever since then they are playing pretty much lights out. Also, it was key that Harrell finally replaced via injury. Montgomery has been much better.

Lutmer is a dawg

Also, I know it’s a small sample size, but I think we’ll be in good hands at LB next fall

 

[Dr. Zaius]

If only they could get a little more production from/had healthy TEs and a reliable kicker, this team would be turning into one of Ferentz’s top teams in his tenure. Salty defense, powerful run game, a QB that can manage games and earn Ws. They’ve shown a lot of growth through October for sure. Now they just need to sustain playing at this level.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

This year might be Phil's masterpiece. Not a lot of studs or high NFL draft picks, but they play great together and do what they want them to do really well as a unit.

 

[CamelTones]

Kirk Ferentz is awesome.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

17th in SP+. 47th in offense, 6th in defense, 39th in special teams.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Imagine playing small school football against a team with Lutmer and RVZ

There’s a reason Central Lyon wins all the time. And when they don’t, it’s because of West Lyon.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I bet they hate each other

 

[BBK]

I bet they hate each other

You ain't lyon

 

[jandj]

You ain't lyon

Isn’t there another kid on the team from up there as well. VanKykeik or something. I’m too lazy to look it up.

 

[KitKatApples]

They probably have several kids on the team

 

[ddevries]

I don’t think currently, I believe Van Kekerix is from Boyden Hull/Rock Valley.

Most recent was probably Pottebaum and Snyder, both from West Lyon.

2-6 against a fairly tough schedule this year.

 

[gable_guy]

Nwankpa. Has Halo changed their opinion?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Halo was RATT

 

[The Dad]

Nwankpa. Has Halo changed their opinion?

My opinion has changed in direct proportion to his level of play.

There's no way you've had sex with a woman. Unlike your sister.

I really liked this one a lot though!
And I will remember this when you toss another "zip up pants" joke my way!

[WCFHawkeye]

Likely Big Noon? Unsure on the selection order that week, would prefer a later game.

 

[douglasbader]

I think they might be waiting to see if Penn State pulls off a miracle against Ohio State before choosing. I could see them wanting to make Indiana at Penn State the Big Noon game and Oregon vs. Iowa the 2:30pm game.

That seems to be a more natural fit for everyone involved. Makes it a Noon EST kickoff for a game in the east and a 12:30pm game in Oregon instead of a 9am game.

My guess is this is what happens and I hope that happens.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I want the Ducks under the lights

 

[WCFHawkeye]

I would prefer the 2:30, but am not expecting it.

 

[iowa4ever20]

NBC also has Notre Dame at night next week so maybe they will potentially swap time slots with FOX or CBS.

 

[douglasbader]

Given the time change, most of the 2nd half would be under the lights if it goes to a 2:30pm kickoff.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Iowa is done playing night games this year.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

The CFP will have some night games.

 

[Whatever]

Kakert just posted that if Indiana wins this week Iowa-Oregon will be 2:30.

 

[Mysterio]

i had to look up indianas schedule. wow thats bad. two good teams on the schedule. granted they beat them both.

It’s a reflection on the Bigten.

 

[Mysterio]

It’s a reflection on the Bigten.

despite preseason rankings it looks like any other year for the I am a giant douche. a couple contenders with a glut of teams in the middle that are all pretty similar

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

Big Ten. Two words.

I do not like your tone here, bud

Exactly.

 

[KitKatApples]

Kakert just posted that if Indiana wins this week Iowa-Oregon will be 2:30.

So it’ll be 11AM either way

 

[Stu Beagle]

Don’t like Oregon having a bye this week too

 

[RazHawk]

Really want that game to be a 9AM body clock game for Oregon.

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

We could also use some snow and polar vortex like temps in the early November.
