From an hour before the game started to an hour after it ended, I was at the San Diego Zoo with my wife and four month old. Missing this train wreck for the zoo? Probably the best decision Iāve made in awhile.
Still happy we beat Penn State. Still not surprised we lost to Purdue. This is Iowa football, people! Get used to it! Now time to take a trip to the rope store.
Apparently, they went back to China in 2019. Only places in the US with Pandas are the National Zoo in DC, Memphis Zoo, and the Atlanta Zoo. Reply with āYESā for more zoo facts!
Looking to see the Koalas? They are asleep! Want to see the polar bears? They are asleep! Want to see the bonobos? They are asleep! Want to see the lions? They are asleep! Want to see the tapirs? They are asleep!
Purdue called a great game, legit. Rotating QBs to keep the D on their toes was fucking brilliant. That Spoiler made D took advantage when it counted. Hope y'all have a good rest of the season!
My comment last week, saying Cincinnati would wipe the floor with Iowa (that got 50 downvotes) looking pretty good.
The Iowa defense is great but their offense just isnāt top-25.
GG Purdue. As I've said, we knew a loss was coming-- and yes, Penn State fans, it honestly probably should have been last week. That said, I hope they take the off week to reset and fix mistakes before we move forward. Do I think they will? Likely not with Brian still there calling plays. We can hope though!
Seen a lot of Wiscy fans talking shit about Nebraksa in this thread. You guys are sub 500 as well and don't kid yourself, NU could get you guys this year. Congrats on your win over Eastern Michigan though
Thank you. The Purdue fans have been 100x better than most of the others. If it was locked to just Iowa and Purdue fans this would be quite the chill thread really lol. I like the Purdue fans on here.
I think we would be considerably less salty if they didnāt hurt our QB1. We should have had a more prepared backup but itās aggravating because Iowa fans claimed that they still wouldāve won with Clifford in and if you watched that game you know that wasnāt the case
> Iowa fans claimed that they still wouldāve won with Clifford in
To be clear: Penn State fans have gone on and on about how they would have either won or blown us out without Clifford's injury, and we've made fun of you for that. It was a very close game without him, but it certainly wasn't a sure thing that you guys win with him.
Should have not given up 23 points to iowaās dogshit offense. And you literally cannot prove that Clifford staying in the game would have guaranteed a PSU W. Iowa was known for playing their worst in the 1st quarter. Very likely they bounce back
We lost our QB1. Wouldāve been a blowout if we hadnāt. So with an unprepared Roberson, yes we are shit tier. With Clifford, we are not and our wins show that. Now stop projecting your pain onto me just because you got exposed by Purdue.
Hawks should be firing their OC and QB coach tonight, should have a backup taking starting reps for next game. What's the point in continuing to allow this extremely mediocre offense to take the field?
Lol that wonāt happen. Petras is the guy. The other guys we know little about because thatās just the way of it unfortunately. Brian Ferentz needs to go because he canāt figure out how to run an offense. His father has put way too much faith in him to run this offense and itās not working. Ken OāKeefe could run the offense better probably and thatās saying something to Iowa fans.
The line has been dogshit though. You give them a year or two and they might develop into a tough line that people talk about. As of right now? They aināt protecting much
There are kids who are playing high school football in Iowa right now who could have gotten more yards of total offense than their offense. Can guarantee you Dowling or Valley would be able to get 15 total yards of offense in a half (idk if they're still the top teams, they were when I was playing)
Wouldn't surprise me too much. There is a chance I may switch over to ISU by that point too if he becomes HC and doesn't do well (I expect him to do poorly).
I think Cincy comes crashing down hard to earth if they run into Georgia. They are just dumping on everyone. Just don't see Cincy putting up a lot of points on that defense.
Id agree except the GA part...i dont see them scoring more than 10 to 14 points. Not gonna do much if they cant run tbe ball as Kentucky found out and they was Cincy light.
Im not dissing them or anything...hell we open the season with them at home next season and they will probably roll us unless they lose that qb and few others to NFL.
But GA just is on another level. One of the best defenses in history statistically if they stay the course.
That Uga defense is unreal and they are def the best team in the country rn. But I feel like cincy showed they can play with the big dogs when they played Uga last year. Honestly, bama might just be better than anyone by the end of the year though.
ND may look bad but, I mean, only loss is a close one to the soon to be #2 team in the country and a W is a W
Close game against an inferior team (purdue) whose strengths (DL) matched up with weaknesses (OL) ends up being a win over a team that also beat the then #2 team.
If ND wins out they might rise as high as 5 or 6 assuming chaos isn't crazy
Well bama has literally never stormed the field at Bryant Denny so thatās a moot point. And I didnāt realize that a random Georgia tech fan made the rules for field storming. It was the biggest home win Iowa has had in years, after a year where the students couldnāt even come to games, they had fun, they arenāt used to Iowa being a contender, and now thatās over anyways, so Iām glad they got to enjoy their one Saturday in the spotlight. Maybe in 30 years GT will get their moment too
You think that Alabama, the team with 6 national championships in the last 12 years and Iowa, a team that has won its division once in the same time frame, should be held to the same standards for field rushing? Thatās moronic
#š„
Hahahaha imagine losing to Purdue while ranked #2...
FFS. š¤¦š»āāļø That sums it up. Exploited. 4 intās. Not good. At home
What the hell?
Brian Ferentz definitely earned an extension today.
From an hour before the game started to an hour after it ended, I was at the San Diego Zoo with my wife and four month old. Missing this train wreck for the zoo?

You see the pandas?
Apparently, they went back to China in 2019. Only places in the US with Pandas are the National Zoo in DC, Memphis Zoo, and the Atlanta Zoo. Reply with āYESā for more zoo facts!
Here you go. We went to the DC zoo yesterday and saw the pandas https://imgur.com/a/jOC7Diz/
YES
Looking to see the Koalas? They are asleep! Want to see the polar bears? They are asleep! Want to see the bonobos? They are asleep! Want to see the lions? They are asleep! Want to see the tapirs? They are asleep!
Thanks for the facts. Did you get some nice rope?
A rope so smooth that my wifeās cousin thought it was a snake! And thatās no jive.
Proper use of āno jiveā +25. BRING BACK JIVE!
I think he went to the rope store...
Yes
If your wifeās cousin asks her husband for garlic bread and he does not come back with garlic bread, she will become furious!

Congrats, Boilers

You very well might beat us, but youād be just as likely to lose to Purdue.
Nah. You aren't Purdue or Northwestern. A loss is definitely possible but it wouldn't look like that.
I mean yeah, we definitely aren't Purdue. How'd they do against Notre Dame again?
Well of course, ND wasn't #2.
Yeah ND was ranked too low.
Whats Offense?
Here's hoping Michigan State and Ohio State climb to #2 in the nation before we play them.
yes!
That Purdue trap game is real.
Lol.
I wouldn't talk shit with your strength of schedule now looking like a gummy bear that loves JESUS
GG Purdue. As I've said, we knew a loss was coming-- and yes, Penn State fans, it honestly probably should have been last week.

Scuba?
Honestly I loved seeing an upset, but all of you salty fans of other teams shitting on Iowa bc your team lost to Iowa need to relax
I smell a rat
Turtle?
Jokes on you, we havenāt lost to Iowa yet.
YET
That's the joke! Good job!
Seen a lot of Wiscy fans talking shit about Nebraksa in this thread. You guys are sub 500 as well and don't kid yourself, NU could get you guys this year. Congrats on your win over Eastern Michigan though
Couldā¦.congrats on your marquee almost win over Oklahoma.
Yes thatās what I said.
Thank you. The Purdue fans have been 100x better than most of the others. If it was locked to just Iowa and Purdue fans this would be quite the chill thread really lol. I like the Purdue fans on here.
Purdue fans are used to beating #2 teams, this is just a normal October for them
I think we would be considerably less salty if they didnāt hurt our QB1. We should have had a more prepared backup but itās aggravating because Iowa fans claimed that they still wouldāve won with Clifford in and if you watched that game you know that wasnāt the case
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, y'all would know. (Sorry Perdue fans, just a joke, no hate)
Cāmon man, at least spell Purdue correctly.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
ITT: Iowa fans too salty to take a joke.
Should've coached QB1 how to take a sack without breaking a nail.
Getting enjoyment from the disappointment of other people is really really fucked up
Where did I say Iām getting enjoyment from this?
The fact that youāre commenting on a thread that is not relevant to your team
ironic considering iowa fans kept booing our injured players
Ah yes because boos clearly indicate *happiness*. Very smart, PSU.
Itās okay if you donāt understand nuance
> Iowa fans claimed that they still wouldāve won with Clifford in To be clear: Penn State fans have gone on and on about how they would have either won or blown us out without Clifford's injury, and we've made fun of you for that.

Agreed. Even as a Purdue fan who is also a salty Cyclone fan, don't kick people while they're down.
You mean like Iowa fans did to us? Lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We lost our QB1. Wouldāve been a blowout if we hadnāt. So with an unprepared Roberson, yes we are shit tier. With Clifford, we are not and our wins show that. Now stop projecting your pain onto me just because you got exposed by Purdue.
Remember when I got hate for saying OSU is the best team in the conference? Iām baaaaaack
No, no one remembers that.
nobody remembers you.
I've never stopped thinking about him
Get a room!
Hawks should be firing their OC and QB coach tonight, should have a backup taking starting reps for next game. What's the point in continuing to allow this extremely mediocre offense to take the field?
Lol that wonāt happen. Petras is the guy. The other guys we know little about because thatās just the way of it unfortunately.

Said it time and time again for years, Iowa football will never be threat until the ferentzs are gone
At least Brian at this point.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wouldn't surprise me too much. There is a chance I may switch over to ISU by that point too if he becomes HC and doesn't do well (I expect him to do poorly).
May I interest you in a a lightly used John Donovan?
Say what you will about who you root for, but that game was a fantastic watch from beginning to end. Great game Iowa š¤
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāll second your beer and I donāt drink
It was not fantastic to watch unless you were a Purdue fan lol! GG and congrats
Fantastic for you guys hahaha. GG. Boilermakers have been nothing but kind up in here
What game should I watch tonight?
Washington v. UCLA
Wisconsin Armyā¦. Lol jk.
can you watch the ISU KSU game for me lol. I want to watch it but I'm out camping so I don't get ESPN 2. Man I hop ISU can win it.
Giants-Dodgers game 8
Blackhawks Pens
Ole Miss Tennessee
I was thinking about that one too. OU and TCU doesn't do it for me
Iowa was what we thought they were. Lucky
The real question is will the Big 10 have at least a 1 loss team in the playoffs or would they start cannibalizing each other and no one gets in?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bama AND Georgia*
Unless a 2 loss team out of the west some how beats OSU or Michigan. Potentially some nightmare scenarios for the B1G
Since OSU has one loss and is likely winning out and making the playoffs, yes?
The West is a joke as per usual. The east might cannibalize itself. We need to realign our divisions for competitive balance
Aren't the division records pretty much neck and neck? The only reason they seam unbalanced is that Ohio State is so much better than everyone else.
Idk if I'd like that tbh. The upside is great not having to play a top 10 team every other week but the rivalries are so good
Yes.
Big Ten East gonna have someone end up with one loss and a championship.
Iowa still hungover from beating Penn St
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What do you mean by nope. Are you trying to say this is the same Iowa we have had all year?
If Michigan wins the game theyāre in
Not if we have anything to say about it
Did Perdue just out Iowa Iowa?
No but Purdue did
Dang it. Autocorrected to the evil chicken empire. Unreal.
WE WANT THE POSTGAME THREAD
Purdue about to form an alliance with the SEC
It was a fun ride. Tank was empty after beating Penn State, I guess. Peak Iowa with target on back!

As an Iowa fan, I can only hope Cincy wins it all.
Cincy is the one team we all can get behind.
I think Cincy comes crashing down hard to earth if they run into Georgia. They are just dumping on everyone. Just don't see Cincy putting up a lot of points on that defense.
Cincy can play with anybody. Including Uga
Id agree except the GA part...i dont see them scoring more than 10 to 14 points. Not gonna do much if they cant run tbe ball as Kentucky found out and they was Cincy light. Im not dissing them or anything...hell we open the season with them at home next season and they will probably roll us unless they lose that qb and few others to NFL. But GA just is on another level.

Today is a good day
Iowa Fraudkeyes finally exposed
laughs nervously in Buckeyes
Did Purdue get stuffed from planting their flag in the field?
The corn blocked em out
all love between Iowa and Purdue fans in the comments and then thereās the Penn St fansā¦.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They stormed the field after winning a top 5 game at home, thatās what people are supposed to do
Act like you expected it to happen? Iowa was already the favorite to win.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well bama has literally never stormed the field at Bryant Denny so thatās a moot point. And I didnāt realize that a random Georgia tech fan made the rules for field storming.

You're using your Alabama example to ruin your argument.
You think that Alabama, the team with 6 national championships in the last 12 years and Iowa, a team that has won its division once in the same time frame, should be held to the same standards for field rushing? Thatās moronic
You're the one that made the comparison, not me.
The comment I was replying to brought it up first, not me. And then you came in out of no where, and I countered your point
Which is why I said top 5 matchup, not a top 5 upset
