**Official Iowa vs USC Football Thread - 2:30pm - BTN**

[newsbreaker]

Being in LA when the weather is bad is a real bad situation.

 

[BluesHawk]

i will admit one thing. part of my personality is that things that are funny or amusing to me never get old to me. i can't tell you how many times someone has said to me IRL "uhhh, that was really funny the FIRST time you said it."

one night in ragbrai we had a big time thunder storm. i was in the tent by myself, and my tent started to literally get lifted off the ground. the stakes had come out. so the little high school kids in our Bike World crew were out there, shirtless in the pouring rain and the lightning, pounding the bigger metal stakes into everyone's tents. everyone was freaking out, and parts of the campground were getting evacuated. so i unzipped the back flap on my tent and i started screaming out "batten down the hatches, maties!!"

and these little punks were all like "batten down the what? what's he yelling?" they couldnt even tell where it was coming from. so i just kept yelling it over and over and over again, and each time i did i sank back down in my air mattress just LMAO. i probably yelled it about 30 times at the top of my lungs. and i got told to STFU by elsewhere in the bike world campground several times.

that sort of summarizes what i'm all about.

Games gonna get delayed isn’t it?

[gable_guy]

Lightning?

 

[chafedHawk]

Highly unlikely

edit: i mean the lightning. Relatively very uncommon on this coast

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

We get lightning maybe once every three years. People get to excited / posts on social media etc.

Well that answers that.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

boo. Let the field turn into a swampy mess.

 

[Uff Da]

USC has averaged 38 points a game in the Big 10 at home.

USC gave up a lot of yards rushing to Notre Dame, obviously, Iowa will need to run the ball well.

 

[Thrawn II]

thanks for clarifying that it was not AI, Chris/Yugo

 

[Herbie2]

They have ONE guy with a broom getting the water off the tarp as they remove it.

Yeah but he’s Hispanic.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I remember being at ASU with Scottsdale RIP in 2004 when that deluge came through. It hadn’t rained in months and the metro areas in the SW simply don’t have the storm water infrastructure to drain anything quickly. I feel like we could have gone on a looting spree with the level of panic that had set in from the locals.

then they ran onto the field with an American flag and lightning flashing in the background and we got fucking destroyed

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Can't imagine the coliseum has a great state of the art drainage system

 

[brantshawks]

Yeah but he’s Hispanic.

Luckily it's raining or ICE would be there.

Didn’t they end up starting around 11:00 Iowa time? Just brutal game all around.

looks like a beautiful day for Iowa Hawkeye football. the aesthetics couldn’t be better

 

[Geese]

Would be crazy cold this time of year

Andrew Walter and Derek Hagen gave us the full Loog in that one. Walner Belieus saved us from the ultimate embarrassment by returning a punt for a TD with a minute left to avoid the shutout.

Walner Belieus sounds like a guy who should have been parachuting over Normandy with the 101st.

A year earlier we beat them 21-2. Sanders was out. They showed him on the sideline and the announcer said “no, he’s not wearing shoulder pads”.

 

[douglasbader]

So many Iowa fans

I saw his only collegiate touchdown.

What a glorious 43-7 (I believe) beat down .

Finding it hard to believe THAT was the game you didn’t leave early.

 

[Verbal]

Not true, he scored a whole bunch of collegiate touchdowns… after he left Iowa and transferred to the University of Dubuque.

[kmurp]

Nice seats.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Some USC guy gave my son a pregame pass to go down on the field. Pretty cool.

Californians really want to stay out of the rain at all costs, lol.

Power bottom.

Nice

 

[claykenny]

Kirk with a little Pete Carroll strut after that trick TD.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Kirk emotional over a trick play involving a reverse and WR throw to a QB. Incredible

 

[cloudhawk]

Thinking of Brian and how awful he was probably

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Fuck those fruitballs and fuck this game.

 

[gingerbread_man]

Just a blatant face mask proceeded by a pick. Fuck this game

 

[Geese]

Fuck those fruitballs and fuck this game.

I wouldn't get too upset this game was meaningless for Iowa

 

[Floyd R]

I knew Iowa was fucked when KF is holding back tears near the end of the 1st half. Like WTF. There’s a whole half of football to be played against a competent offense.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

The good news is Reilly will never win shit out there

 

[PoopyFaceTomatoNose]

Having a QB who can throw and WRs who can catch must be a good feeling. I hope to feel that someday.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Having a QB who can throw and WRs who can catch must be a good feeling. I hope to feel that someday.

Their QB is so far ahead of the QB with "the most FBS wins ever" that it's not even funny.

 

[Kamala]

Having a QB who can throw and WRs who can catch must be a good feeling. I hope to feel that someday.

I can’t see that happening. Not under this regime,

 

[Herky823]

Still have no idea what happened at the end
