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

[Saul Berkley]

This is a much better team overall than the one that went 10-2 just two years ago, yet they will finish 8-4 at best in the regular season.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

How long you been sitting on that one?

About ten minutes.

Tough schedule. If they can get to 8-4 it’s a good season with a lot of almosts.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Something dark happened to this guy.

yeah- I correctly predict not only the outcome of our football games, but exactly how it will happen.

imagine what teams with 30 people on staff can do

 

[nolookpass]

lack of blitzes in the 2nd half was baffling.

That midget cannot start at LB next year. If Lester stays, I think Iowa is ok next year. Lots of younger dudes who are more athletic than some of the guys playing this year.

Hopefully Iowa will have a qb who can run a little and pass. Gronowskis only shot at the nfl is at TE.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

LB will be fine if they start playing the stud freshmen next year.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

The announcers really should head to the ER to get their stomachs pumped after sucking all that USC dick today.

Why not just digest the semen like your mother does? She does fine.

I actually think you can win in the douche with a QB like him. He’s gonna miss some bad passes but the qb run game is meaningful.

which makes the play calling at the end that much more absurd. We should have run zero times. We ran 3 and none of them were a QB RPO

 

[FranklinHawk]

Lots of what ifs, but the reason we lost was zero fucking points in the 2nd half.

 

[iowa4ever20]

Less than an inch seperate the last two games. dB gets his arm an inch lower last week and he deflects the ball down the sideline. And a toe width for Wetjen today. Wild

I know this is a prevailing thought from last week but Hall if anything needed to have his arm higher last week and even then it was just a perfect fucking throw. Watching the replay from the two angles in this video, there was nothing Hall could do on that play. He dropped it perfectly over his shoulder. He was never on the same plane as the ball.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

lol forgot about the amazing restraint comment by the announcer.

That was insane.

 

[Revolver]

Frustrating game. That was a really cool stadium to see a game at.

I was on my bike listening to the radio at the time, but it sounded to me like 3 runs with neither Gronk nor Moulton carrying the mail. I may be old fashioned, but I'd just as soon live or die with my best playmakers at that point in the game.

If Gronowski pulls the ball on 2 of those attempts he gets some solid yardage.

We rotated backs too much. Moulton needed more carries.

Scooped by a goddamned geriatric.

100%. 1st and 2nd down to Jazz, 3rd down to Moulton. 3rd down might have been an RPO. Not sure though.

 

[CamelTones]

3rd down was actually to Williams. No idea how he is their 3rd down back.

Missed that. Makes even less sense then, unless Moulton was banged up.

2 or 3 of the starting OL were out on that drive

 

[jd10]

myslinski and jones were definitely in on the last drive

 

[Whatever]

Stephens, Pieper and Dunker were all out on the last drive.

sorry I meant hand off. Yes, we needed to use gronk

 

[Stu Beagle]

Best offensive in at least the last 5 years but of course it aligns with our worst defense in that same timeframe

 

[Kamala]

And our hardest schedule. It is completely criminal that KF wasted our best chances at the playoffs with his dipshit son running our offense. It’s indefensible.

It's iowa football. They're a good linebacker class away from being in the playoffs. It's the way it is. The stars have to align one way or another. QB sucks though for sure.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

This season was doomed after losing to the Cum Dumpsters in Ames. They really should get rid of that game.

Or just beat the shit out of them for all of our enjoyment

Kirk really is addicted to losing those faggots

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Beyond getting soaked and losing, we had a great time. Everyone USC person we encountered was great. For the few that showed up, they’re in to the game (unlike UCLA) but there’s no dickheadishness about it like you’d get a Nebrantska, Wisconsin, etc. The atmosphere is pretty good. We sat next to a USC player from the 80’s. He cheered hard but was a nice as could be. Some other guy giving my kid his one pass to go on the field. Post game everyone was chill and complimentary. Some 25 year old after the game (who might have been slightly lit) telling us how cool he thinks the Hawkeyes are.

I think people out here might be nicer than the Midwest and there’s a noticeable absence of meatheads. I liked Denver more, but I could absolutely live here.

 

[cloudhawk]

Cool- now about those sweater puppies

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Every Californian I've ever known has been the chillest, easiest going person. Decidedly not scared of the others.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Covered in rain gear the whole time. I’m sure they’re nice people tho.

 

[Wanderer]

They certainly seem nice.

Yeah, exactly. What were the odds of the reserve backs running behind the reserve line 3 times? Shouldn't Shane Falco want the ball?

 

[Mr. Hawk]

This is the guy we were sitting next to. Never acted like a big shot at all. Completely chill and friendly.

He never even mentioned anything about any of that, except at the end when my son asked his name. We looked him up later.

Could we find him on a video game, by chance?

 

[douglasbader]

The number of Iowa fans wearing gym shorts in the club level was an embarrassment.

Why would he act like a big shot? Has anyone ever heard of this dude?

Your mom used to fuck him.

 

[Geese]

This undrafted dude from 1987 didn't even act like a big shot!!! Lmao

[Herbie2]

7 years in the NFL and a Special Teams POTY…safe to say a lot of guys like that would act like they are a big deal.

Geese is confused. He was so sure of it going in.

Damn, if you would have online stalked him immediately after learning his name you could have got his autograph.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

The jogger wouldn’t have it and frankly I couldn’t live with myself if I disappointed him. Our families holiday together in Breck.

Wait, were you in the club level? You should have said something

That's the joke, Bovine.

Doug was wearing the gymshorts!
