Banks vs Vandy

[Lime]

I remember Auburn and Clemson going into OT and not being able to see the game or get it up on radio, then the first highlight they showed was Arizona blasting through the line to block the punt and Iowa was already down.

Went nuts when Binns intercepted the ball and ran it back thinking there was no possible way they were going to lose at that point.

Exactly. When Binns picked that ball it should have been over.

Except we missed the extra point that would have tied it IIRC.

no, it would have put Iowa ahead.

I just want to thank everyone for turning a Banks/Vandenberg thread into a review of one of the most traumatizing Iowa losses in my lifetime. Perhaps tomorrow we can review the 2002 Iowa State game and have a discussion of the 2009 Ohio State game on Friday.

How about that Northwestern game from 2005? After the game, I remember Ronnie Woo Woo wooing all the way down the street. People need to quit giving him free tickets to shit.

I misssed the first 55 minutes of that and only caught the last 5 minutes on the radio. It sucked, but it wasn't traumatic as I have refused to ever watch a highlight from it.

The thing that really sucks for Ferentz is that his awful losses now outweigh his great wins.

go to hell, douglasbader. I'm not watching that.

 

[douglasbader]

I forgot Herb Grigsby dropped the last pass of that if Tate would have just waited 1 more second and thrown it over the top it was an easy touchdown.

My Lord, I had forgotten the onside kick. That was about as good of an onside kick as you'll ever see, though.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Oh, hey, look at that, Iowa getting burned by another onside kick. Weird.

Nowadays, if there's an onside kick coming, I just assume we're going to blow it.

It's fucking embarassing.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Grigsby. What a piece of shit. Looked like Adam Shada getting burnt on that TD as well. he was a piece of shit as well.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

My all time most hated Hawk that Adam Shada.

 

[douglasbader]

Oh, look, another horrible loss in the last few minutes down by 3 points or less in FG range!

I hate you doug.

This latest string of posts puts Dougie perilously close to "Worst Poster" status. It's sad because these posts outweigh all his good posts.

 

[The Dad]

Thanks guys. Being an Iowa fan is an awful lot like falling in love with a hooker.

I may have defecated in my trousers after this game

 

[douglasbader]

I love Kirk, but Iowa Football is often gut wrenching even in wins. We just have way too many games against inferior teams that should be out of reach in the first half that turn into complete nail biters.

Purdue 2008
UNI 2009
Arkansas State 2009
Indiana 2009 (this turned out to be a blowout, but it was ridiculous until the 4th quarter)
Minnesota 2009
Indiana 2010
Pitt 2011

Again, these are all wins and not even counting the heartbreaking losses against teams.

Pitt 2008
Illinois 2008
Michigan State 2008
Northwestern 2008
Northwestern 2009
Ohio State 2009
Arizona 2010
Wisconsin 2010
Northwestern 2010
Ohio State 2010
Minnesota 2010
Iowa State 2011
Minnesota 2011
Iowa State 2012
Central Michigan 2012

I guess it is good our games are close, but sometimes I wouldn't mind a few Hayden like blowouts if we could fucking trounce some of these shitty teams.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Dougie poo is busy scouring Youtube for more misery as we speak. He's a real piece of shit.

 

[douglasbader]

Sheesh. Looking over that list, nearly every fucking game is a pants shitting nail biter.

 

[Monster]

I remember how excited I was about taht season and that game in particular. The hopes were still sky high.

Expectations.

a step and a half over when he caught it

He's got some long ass legs.

 

[Whatever]

The 2009 Indiana game was fucking nuts. Iowa was down 21-7 at the half and Stanzi threw 4 interceptions on 4 possessions in the 3rd quarter. Miraculously, the Hawks were still only down 24-14 going into the 4th quarter and they ended up winning easily. That game felt like it last 5 hours.

There were 9 seconds left Mikey. Nine. It was a terrible throw, and an even worse decision.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Arob was fucking sloooooow.

 

[douglasbader]

Mikey ain't bright.

Win or lose, Iowa Football isn't that fun and hasn't been in a decade.

I said it was a bad throw, retard.

 

[Gushawk]

This is all really simple and everyone is pretty much right if they would take their head out of their ass.

Ricky 2010 was really, really good for about 3 1/2 quarters. Interceptions were way down and efficiency was up. The drawback is the way they programmed him to get to that point (avoiding risk and checking down) is also the reason he was garbage in last drive situations. He couldn't turn off what they had taught him the previous 8 months and he didn't have the same instincts at the end of games. This, combined with some really shitty linebackers and a lack of adjustments on Defense, as well as Kirk's stubborn refusal to aggressively seek to put (often inferior) opponents away when they are on the ropes, caused Iowa to lose games they should have won.

Not all that hard to figure out.

FIFY, in particular as pertains Minnesota and NW.

More Dougie pwnage in this thread. 53 is the guy that tackled Arob, and he clearly isn't that close to him when he is catching the ball. If Arob would have headed for the sideline right when he caught it, he likely would have made it.

Well, like I said, part of the problem was the bad throw because Stanzi sidearmed it. If he had hit him in stride, he would have bee much more likely to get out of bounds. With the bad throw, Robinson had to pretty much stop to catch it.

But then yeah, like you said, you can clearly see him square upfield before he realizes "oh shit" and tries to make it to the sideline.

 

[douglasbader]

That pic is after he was already a step into the catch. His feet were on the hash when Stanzi started to throw. He had no chance of getting out of bounds.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Fuck 2010. Iowa had multiple games where I can watch the replay or highlights of the game and still be surprised that they lost the game.

That timeout at the end of the wisconsin game was a fucking disaster. What the fuck?!? ARGGGGG!!!!!

Yeah '09 sucked.

Yeah '09 sucked.

even as we won a BCS bowl I could only think about how some freak injury on a borderline cheap play cost us an undefeated season.

'02, '03, '04 sucked too.

The point is the season was fun. I can't help it if you're a Debbie Downer.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

even as CJ Jones was saying C U Later i could only think about the second half meltdown to ISU

 

[douglasbader]

09 was great because we won, but it wasn't "fun".

If UNI, Arkansas State, Minnesota, and a handful of others were "fun" then I don't know what to tell you.

 

[douglasbader]

02-04 were fun.

Middle of the field. LMFAO.

No it isn't. I frame by framed that to get to the exact frame where the ball hits his hands. Here is is before the ball gets there.

His feet were on the hash when Stanzi started to throw. He had no chance of getting out of bounds.

Again, wrong.

Why do you have to exagerrate like this? I mean, it was a bad play. Are you not capable of arguing that without acting like it was THE WORST PLAY OF ALL TIME ARRRGHGH?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

are we really going to bitch about the definition of "middle of the field"?

it may not be the geometrical center but i would consider that to effectively be in the middle of the field.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

The 2008 season was fun once the ball got rolling as well. That was a good team in the second half of the year.
