Missed FG Iowa...
And by missed, we really mean “didn’t get off the ground”. Still 7-0.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
No score in NMSU/OSU, 6 to go in the first
Wisconsin 7, Purdue 0 also about 6 to go there.

Horrifyingly bad PI call on IU on 3rd and 13....
Wow that was bad, and by bad I mean GOD-AWFUL.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
More than they can handle really
Iowa looks ok on D, but they’re offense is getting manhandled by IU’s front 4… Go Hoosiers indeed!

IU
I’ve said it since they played us – IU is much, much better than people give them credit for. Certainly not the IU cupcake we’re all accustomed to. I said that as Iowa picks up a 3rd and 13…
http://maizenbrew.com
Get it?
Wow does Bob Davie want to be Brent Musberger?
Everything that happens is the greatest thing ever…
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Oh, the rare offensive PI
Making up for that god-awful call on IU earlier
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
OSU now up 14 zip
Wisconsin up 10-0 on Purdue (which means the badgers will now quit playing)
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Shanked punt, IU starting in Iowa territory
What happened to “the weapon?!”
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Based upon how the refs are calling this game...
That should’ve been PI on Tyler Sash
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
A rare tremendous throw from Stanzi!!!
Credit where credit is due folks, 1st and goal Iowa!
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
TD Iowa...
14-7, Bob Davie declares Iowa national champions as a result of that TD.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Oh boy, terrible spot here...
Iowa is certainly getting all the help they can handle…
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Indiana challenging the spot
Which is a great challenge in my opinion.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Well he clearly has crossed the 37, spot has him short
This should be overturned.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
IU with some curious playcalling on 3rd and 5, Iowa stays home
Nice D.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
IU is getting absolutely hosed in this football game.
Have to beat the zebras too?
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
TD HOOSIERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
8 seconds to go in the half
And the Indiana Hoosiers lead 21-7… they’ve completely and totally outplayed Iowa in all phases.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
wow
So, does this mean that Iowa sucks? Or does it mean that the Big Ten isn’t as bad as people say?
http://maizenbrew.com
Get it?
It means..
Iowa is nowhere remotely near a top 5 team and Indiana actually ain’t too bad.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Iowa going to the air to start the half...
Moving the sticks right now.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Stanzi really hung that ball up there...
Had his man wide open and he threw a nice Kurt Kittner balloon ball!!!
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
I have absolutely no idea what the HELL IU was doing throwing that football
Pound the rock and you win this game boys… geeeeeeeeez.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Ball bounces off about 3 linemen
And goes right to Sash who was behind everyone… wow.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Bob Davie is trying to make that seem
as though it was something other than a roulette wheel play… GREAT CATCH BY IU!!!!!!!!!!!
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
If IU somehow manages to answer here with a TD...
speaks to their character big-time.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
IU is getting F'd in the A here folks
Seriously, they have no business even being in this game…
Missed FG IU.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
There is absolutely no explanation for overturning that call.
None whatsoever, none.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Perhaps the worst call of the year...
And I’m not even a Penn State fan.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Iowa doesn't deserve to be in this football game in any way shape or form
none, that’s as bad of a call as I’ve seen in a long time.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Side judge right there calls it a TD
No way in hell that should be overturned.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
IU holds on and drills a FG there...
Up 10 and it should be 17….
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
These officials are absolutely keeping Iowa in the game
This is incomplete, they have to review this as well.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Screw Iowa
They have no business even being in this football game.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Even if Iowa wins this game they better get the BANHAMMER in the rankings...
F this team.
GO BLUE! http://www.maizenbrew.com/
Embarrasing
As a UM alum (and a Hawkeye fan), this thread is embarrasing. Why all the Iowa hate? Because UM lost to Iowa earlier? Because you don’t like their style of play? Really not getting it. The calls did not allow Iowa to win. On the bad spot – IU got a first down the next play. One one of the touchdowns at least that was waved off, IU scored a TD anyways. The refs just didn’t matter. Once Iowa was going with the wind again in the 4th, it was lights out IU. I don’t see why the need to hate on a fellow Big XI team – after all, Iowa is the only one left with a chance to go undefeated and really mess with the BCS. And they are scrappy, an underdog. Now if this was OSU or PSU or something, I’d get it, but the tone of these comments were just surprising to me.
