**Iowa at Ohio State - 2/26/19 - 6 PM - BTN**

[Geese]

That ref sucked but Fran can't pull shit like that. National media is all over Iowa right now on Twitter. Great.

National media? Or the local limp dicks and fanboy Hassel?

I've never seen a more syclone-ish fan as hassel

I saw a few national guys tweet right away after it came out

 

[Hawkstrat]

We deserve Todd The Criminal. He never cursed, probably liked Dolph. Kid never got a tech.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I shouldn't admit this, as it's not smart to let stupid people enjoy a great influence over you, but every dumb Dolphin take makes me hate him.

 

[ivan_drago]

Brommelkamp is jacking off so hard. This is a DISGRACE!!!

 

[Hawkstrat]

Garza had 0 rebounds.

Yep. Sucks at his job for years but people like him because he gets drunk with them, is folksy and always around. Fucks up, says stupid shit and becomes a cult hero. Fuck him.

 

[CamelTones]

Iowa took some fucking awful shots tonight. One of my biggest complaints with Fran has been his teams taking ill advised when the other team is on a run.

Tonight you had that 3 by Garza, long 2 by Moss, long 2 by Dailey, and a 15 footer from Cook. In those situations you actually need to slow down if you don’t get the look you want on the initial set. 9 point game went to 17.

That’s where you need to work it inside and try to get to the line.

 

[douglasbader]

I want to brain so many people.

 

[Stu Beagle]

When is the last time Garza made a 3?

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Garza had 0 rebounds.

He was out of rhythm all night. Forcing up uglier shots than normal. 1 for his last 11 from 3 since the Michigan game. He was 5-9 the 3 games before it and I know he can make it and it's probably worth the 2 attempts or so per game to open things up but it's pissing me off more than it should right now when he misses them.

 

[Geese]

When is the last time Garza made a 3?

Rutgers

 

[HiawathaHawk]

When is the last time Garza made a 3?

At Rutgers 10 days ago. 0-5 the 3 games since. 1-11 total since Michigan after a 5-9 stretch over 3 games.

i missed the 1st play of the game...was it a designed 3 by cook?

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

It didn’t matter at all as far as the game goes, but how bad was that 3 by Cook?

 

[CamelTones]

Iowa shot a similar % to Ohio State and only made 2 fewer shots. Unfortunately they hit 6 more 3s and 10 more free throws.

Kriener, Cook and Garza took 27 shots. They shot 1 free throw. Wesson took 11 shots. Got 7 free throws. Road games in college basketball are fucking retarded.

Cook's 3 was a desperation at the end of the shot clock.

Scoooooooped!

his 2nd one was....but his 1st one was taken just 5 seconds into the shot clock according to the box score

 

[KitKatApples]

They won 13 games last year. 4 fucking big ten wins last year. They’ve got 21 already with games to go. I’m having a hard time getting upset.

LOL that's incredible. And Baer was on the end of the worst no call of the night. Speraw said in his halftime with Bobby that they were riding our guards and we were hoping to be aggressive and get the calls on that in the second half. Nope.

PBP is wrong. That first shot was a 5 foot jump hook.

It's pretty clear which journalists are butthurt over Dolph. It's a really bad look for them. Unfortunately, they all seem to be stuck in an echo chamber of terrible takes on Twitter, so I'm not sure they know how much they're all showing their asses.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

I still maintain that this team hasn’t put it all together offensively like Fran teams have in the past.

I’m still waiting for the offense to find some rhythm and watch them bury someone. It’s gonna happen.

 

[Billy Butters]

Garza had 0 rebounds.

Defensively he still doesn't have a clue either. Fran has pulled him for pathetic defense a few times now and you really have to be a dumbfuck to stand out on this team. He and Wieskamp are still the 2 most important players IMO so it would be nice if he got his shit together.

It’s bohannon. When he’s aggressive and looking for his shot they’re a completely different team.

To me he looks exhausted and has for a couple weeks.

 

[HawkBall23]

How average is OSU right now? Without Ahrens going completely off, the Hawks might actually win the game, despite getting (basically) nothing from JBo, Cook and Garza offensively.

Despite how negative that sounds, I'm just illustrating that as bad as Iowa played, they still were right there - if not for one guy not being able to miss from behind the arc - open looks on most, yes, but still had to make them.

 

[OlePeep]

Peak IowaFan?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

That cocksucker's from ohio. Fuck him

Might have something to do with the fact that his defenders are allowed to give him a rusty trombone up and down the court with no call.

That has to be a joke. You can't be that dumb.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

All of you have been IowaFan at one point. Cut the holier than thou bullshit charade

 

[Match34]

Yeah, but when I'm IowaFan I'm right.

 

[BuffettHawk]

I still love Fran. Tonight sucked, but Iowa is going to make the tournament and they are still having a great season. And the program is 10,000 times better than the nuclear winter that was the The Criminal era. And I look forward to watching Iowa basketball games, which never happened under The Criminal. And Garta will probably fuck up whatever replacement he does find for Fran, so I'd rather keep him.

That's all I've got.

 

[BigDaddy]

Live look at Todd Brommelkamp

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Hopefully people don’t lose their fucking minds if we lose a 50/50 game. Bring it in!!!!!

LOL

I have been w/ Kirk once or twice mabes. I don’t think ever w/ Fran. I love his philosophy too much

I’d like for Gary’s tenure to conclude before he makes another major coaching hire

Need to add about a thousand pounds

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Iowa Free Throws this year are pretty telling of performance. Oh and certain refs

 

[ivan_drago]

Let’s get this straight.

Fran yelled this at a ref in a tunnel right after a game, a tunnel that is directly next to press row, and one single reporter from Toledo heard it and we haven’t had a single reporter besides him say they heard it too?

Got it.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Fran has his faults, being too mean to officials isn't one.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

If I've learned anything this week, it's how whiny the Iowa media is. What a bunch of hacks. They're awfully whiny for how often they complain about Hawkeye fans negativity

 

[ivan_drago]

And man, media nerds love to stick together. There’s just no way he misheard it. He’s from the media!

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I lived in the same building as him about 12 years ago. He was just running VOTH then but was buddies with Lick's assistants. Super self-important dude.

From Tom. Feeling better about it not being true.

FWIW, talked to our Ohio State guy. He wasn't down there when it happened, but Kyle Rowland is a good friend of his and worked for our OSU site several years ago and he's a good guy. He trusts what Kyle reported.

I'm going to guess there's a decent chance the Big Ten gets involved if the officials verify that this is in fact what Fran said.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Maybe the refs should just be better?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Lol, this is just so fucking typical of Iowa basketball. For the first time in my lifetime we have a run of hitting huge shots and pulling out close games consecutively. Tough loss with Maryland but still 20-6 with a lot of positive mojo.

Then the last 5 days of fucking stupidity happen.

Then imagine it happens again two months later

Oh, well if Kyle’s a friend of that guy? String Fran’s ass UP.
