I want to know who the fat lady in the crowd was with the Hawkeye "I married into this" shirt. What a dumb fucking thing to wear to a bowl game, or any Iowa game.
Probably going to need to be more specific

There was more than one black and cold "I married into this" shirt in the crowd???

It's like her blubberbutt is protesting having to travel to Florida to watch the game! She didn't choose to be there willingly!!!

had a blast. We had great seats but honestly didn’t seem to be a bad seat in the place. Boys had a ton of fun. Had a sky is falling / pay attention to me fan by us but even he was nice.

a few of Their players were talking a ton of shit to start the game.
I don’t know if the defense was bad in the second half but from our spot there looked to be a few perfect throws from pavia. that and some questionable call / no calls.

I think this was my first bowl game since the orange bowl.

Other than the dropped passes - offense was pretty in sync. Much more than previous bowl games. Liked the play calling. Moved the chains when they needed to.

I don't understand how Vonnahme could get so much space when it was such a struggle for other TEs

The most egregious trash talking was the dude who trash talked Moulton immediately after giving up the 32 yard run.

I understood Leas decision to kick that field goal because based on the time, if you have an actual defense you would force a punt with 2 minutes left.

But it also seems strange because I was assuming Pavia was going to score a TD on one of the next 2 plays.

They had all the momentum and chose to give it up.

I still think it was dumb. Why not take two more shots at the end zone? You run off maybe another 15-20 seconds but still have over two and a half minutes left and in the same situation.

It’s all about time management. You need two scores and time is your enemy. NFL teams do it all the time.

Nah, they kicked with 3 minutes left, and with their time out and the 2 minute warning, 20 seconds wouldn't have mattered.

Bingo. The ability to move the chains has been by far the biggest improvement under Lester.

That's @hawkpudd wife you son of a bitch.
They told me the shirt was funny because she never cared about football before, but now she's as crazy a fan as anyone and wouldn't miss a game for the world.

I am glad to have been wrong about Tim Lester’s hire. He made some great calls today and in just two years has transformed our offense from being a laughing stock. That was a very enjoyable game that Lester and his offense won for us. All Hail Tim Lester!
The only play call that baffled me was not running Gronowski on first and goal from the 3.

If they take two more shots and kick with 2:48 then they would have lost 40 seconds on the other side of the two minute warning. If they made a stop on 3rd down with 2:07 left, they would have gotten a full 2 minutes instead of 1:15.

Great win. Gronowski was a good QB. Good/Great season, team was missing a big play maker on offense.

Nice to see Kirk grow a pair and let the offense throw the ball down the field.

I know he’s a midget but does Pavia have an NFL shot at his size? I’ll admit he was more impressive than I expected him to be
