Iowa State @ Iowa

[Purrrrrfect]

I know we are all watching it..or at least most of us. But I still contend..Iowa is not that good. ISU is gonna get better throughout the year.

The refs continue to kick ISUs butt. First the PI call picked up.I can understand it being picked up as it was within 5 yards. But by the reason that was given by the officials to the reporter..contact was made at the line of scrimmage..which was not true.

Cyclones don't help the matter by fumbling at the goal line though. Both ISU and Iowa are gonna get killed during conference play. Score should still be 10-3 or 10-6.

In semi related news...Ball State who almost beat Iowa last week (13-17)...is losing to cellar dwellar Indiana State 14-17 early in the 3rd.

Not watching, but mildly routing for iowa - only to improve our SOS.

Re: Iowa State @ Iowa

Called it on the Indiana State thread. Hawk fans will whine all day that the targeting penalty shouldnt have been called and Clones got lucky. But from what I saw..ISU outplayed Iowa or equally played Iowa for most the game. Iowa got lucky on that PI call that was picked up and was called legally for the targeting penalty. After seeing it multiple times..its hard to say if he should have been ejected..I'm not the deciding factor on that but for once the BIG refs didn't screw up a game at Iowa against the visiting team.

Well played...we better beat NDSU...I can't stand hearing Lakes talk about being Dakota and Iowa champs

It will be fun to debate, that's for sure. Iowa's sure not very impressive when they don't get every call for 3 1/2 qtrs.

Hawkeye message boards are in full meltdown mode and it's quite entertaining.

Re: Iowa State @ Iowa

As per usual. Doesn't suprise me. They squeak out a win vs us and Ball State they act like world beaters.

Anyone else notice who hasn't been posting

LMAO.

One guy on HALO is convinced Kirk gets his kids to pay off the media so they take it easy on him during press conferences. Another suggests Bob Stoops will not only take the job at Iowa, but also bring his brothers along for the ride.

Re: Iowa State @ Iowa

It'll never change. The big brother always thinks he is entitled. The bully is never wrong or loses. If they do..its never their fault. Those who actually watched the game with no blinders on would actually see this game was even and ISU outplayed and outcoached Iowa in the 4th. Mangino did a brilliant job when it counted.

FYI - They were Big 12 officials on the field and B1G in the replay booth.

It was a great game for a football fan without a dog in the fight. ISU earned that win. They were the better team in the 4th quarter. UI did everything they could to not lose and ISU had a great offensive game plan to get the job done. Fun ending.

Re: Iowa State @ Iowa

As a Panther fan watching the game it was obvious that Kirk was playing not to lose in the second half. Panther fans know a little too much about that...

Just pisses me off even more that we couldn't pull off another big play or two and knock those Squawkeyes down a peg.

That's the only way he plays.

Re: Iowa State @ Iowa

Can't say I picked ISU to win...but I did try to convince a number of Clone fans during the week that they could win this game.

Most were so down after the 0-2 start they couldn't talk themselves into believing.

Hawks were due to be exposed.
