Iowa fans

Re: Iowa fans

For the moron who called me out for not running home and posting on this site directly after the game, it's a holiday weekend. I'm spending it with my family.

UNI outplayed Iowa in every facet of the game Saturday, and barring the absolute miracle that happened for the Hawks at the end of the game, they walk out of Kinnick with a win.

I don't know if I've ever seen someone as pumped as Farley at the end when the cats got a second try at the FG. Pure emotion. Awesome.

I agree. I didn't see that until the replay on BTN last night. The look on his face was priceless.

Re: Iowa fans

The rollercoaster of emotions was more than most of us fans could handle... I can't imagine what it was like for Farley, the rest of the staff, and the players... They definitely all deserve our support in huge numbers this Saturday.

Re: Iowa fans

I stopped by a tailgate on my way into the stadium and asked this Iowa guy for a beer. I was actually just going to help myself out of his cooler because I figured he wouldn't mind. He took one look at me and said, "you look like you have had enough, son." And he snatched the unopened beer from my hand. That really made me mad. I wasn't that guy's son. After the game I walked by again and he yelled at me, "are you still trying to steal beer, like you tried to steal the game?" That made me mad again but I didn't say anything this time. I was thinking about apologizing for trying to steal the beer before but then I thought, no way, screw you.

Re: Iowa fans

You're trying to make a point about someone else by telling a story about you trying to swipe someone else's property? HA!

i disagree that UNI outplayed iowa in every aspect of the game. the game was virtually equal except for special teams in which iowa was significantly better.

the only reason i point this out is because by saying UNI played better you are saying that UNI's best cant beat a mediocre effort from iowa. in reality, UNI made several mistakes as well and with the personnel that played saturday I believe that UNI would win 3 or 4 times out of 10. iowa had some serious talent sitting out in prater, bernstein, hampton, calloway and vandervelde, but on this particular saturday there was a very small difference in the talent level with the starting 22 and I think that says a lot about the UNI program.

Re: Iowa fans

Farley was quoted as saying that UNI won the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

if i had to choose, i would probably agree. however ruffin did nothing against bulaga and the push on the FG attempts was unreal. upon watching the replay, it seems to me that the iowa first half running troubles were as much about a lack of talent at RB as the defense. there were certainly holes there early.

If you'd stopped here, I would be inclined to agree with you.

and with the personnel that played saturday I believe that UNI would win 3 or 4 times out of 10. iowa had some serious talent sitting out in prater, bernstein, hampton, calloway and vandervelde, but on this particular saturday there was a very small difference in the talent level with the starting 22 and I think that says a lot about the UNI program.

Really? So Iowa can count personnel not on the field, but UNI can't? Law & Collins would have been non-factors?

In 2012, UNI will have another shot at Iowa, and the good thing is UNI will know that they can put this team on the ropes if they want. The downside is I can guarantee Ferentz will remember this game, as well. Regardless, nothing will be decided until the game is played and time expires on the clock.

Re: Iowa fans

I went with my brother to the Hawkeye sale at Carver before the game, and while he was looking at stuff I was sitting in the stands when a guy with a Hawkeye shirt and a North Dakota State hat came up and started talking to me. (I instantly started to crack my knuckles in my head). Much to my surprise the guy was really nice and started talking about how he came to Ames for their game, and how he was really excited to see us play at Kinnick. To make a long story short... he said there are many people scared of the Panthers up in Fargo! I wonder how much worse it is now??

I'm not sure Law's running style would have been all that effective against Iowa's D. Though it would have been nice to have someone in there to give Carlos a breather and/or add another facet of our offense for the D. to worry about.

Re: Iowa fans

Don't forget Law's importance in pass protection.

Rule of thumb: If someone tells you you've had enough, you probably have. Doesn't matter whose colors they're wearing.

As for the Hawk fans, I got separated from my group and walked solo to Kinnick, taking a lot of harassment along the way. Nothing that would've bothered the average 12-year-old, but they were Hawk crazy.

But on the way out, there was absolutely nothing but respect. And not a soul in black and gold disagreed when I said we had just earned ourselves 55,000 new Panther fans in that stadium alone.

Re: Iowa fans

we didnt miss collins or law. hord ad eyman played very well and i have yet to see/hear/read about a single person who wished law would have had some carries over anderson. i thought about this before I posted the comments in question. most people actually sounded HAPPY that law was out.
