Just occurred to me: shouldn’t Iowa have at least been forced to line up for an extra point or 2PC since the play could have technically determined the outcome?

Wisconsin won, but other than that minor note, yes it was.
I have an uncle and two cousins, all ISU fans, rooting for PSU this year. Even though sugar cubes robbed them of a preseason top 15 team, they think him doing well with their nothing schedule shows how easy the big ten is.

Wisconsin did a great service tonight.

BTW Whittingham and Ferentz had never met before..... Whittingham had like 0.5 seconds brush by handshake at the end.
Chip will have to keep me honest on the RB prospect’s name but…. after the Doyle firing, the word is that Utah coaches went really negative against Iowa and the racism allegations. The RB eventually committed to Utah so I can’t imagine Ferentz forgot about that nor does he truly admire Whittingham.

What I appreciate most about Ferentz is while you are all bitching about stats he is focused on what the scoreboard says at the end of the game.

Kicking the FG was 100% the wrong call 10 times out of 10. And I couldn't love Kirk and his odd in game strategy or clock management more. Fuckin' love that guy.
It’s sort of amazing that in a moment where there is 100+ years of coaching experience, millions and millions spent on them and every manner of technology imaginable….that in game screw ups can still be made.

but that win was special. And the tears afterwards was all that was needed to prove it.

and Hank Brown…we got a QB

Saw a photo of Michigan’s biggest fan after the last play. He isn’t talking it well.

I’m sure this has been shared by now but I can’t stop laughing at him on the field getting off to a 9-7 game 45 years ago.

As others have said today, Iowa is great at exposing you if you are undisciplined. Iowa teams are extremely disciplined and measured.

So it is pretty funny that Michigan directly lost this game because of a out of context quote from Diaz. That quote had them talking shit and shoving him all game, and then at the end when it mattered they couldn't control their emotions and shoved him for a key penalty. All for some fake made up locker room bulletin board material bullshit.

I thought that they brought in Whittingham to try to reset the culture and maybe he is less rapey than Moore but Utah always seemed very Iowaish with their discipline and Michigan today was all over the place.

It's truly crazy that Michigan had to settle for a guy that Utah couldn't wait to shove out the door.
