A bunch of idiots show up at Kinnick with roses in their hands and hair. The Hawks play down to the level of the competition. Ferentz does NOT have the troops ready and the fat cat teams of 2006 and 2007 show up, thinking they can just walk through the game. Hawks jump out to an early 10-0 lead, Kweefe goes into the prevent offense, Indiana's spread destroys Norm's defense, Indiana jumps out to a 21-20 lead with 3 minutes left. Stanzi moves us down the field. Murray has a chip shot field goal blocked and Indiana wins 21-20.
Hawk fans walk out dejected and I break my hand pounding on the sheet metal up in Row 79 and lose my voice from calling Kweefe a dumbass so many times.
8-4.

The most accurate part of this prediction is the part about calling Ken Keefe a dumbass multiple times

MoHawk - I know you will try serenading your lady by giving her a rose before the game. FUCKING DO NOT DO IT. The last two times fans have shown up in Kinnick with roses, their teams lost. See, Wisconsin in 2004 and Illinois in 2007. DO NOT JINX THE FUCKING TEAM. WE DO NOT NEED BAD LUCK. ROSES WILL BE PERMITTED AT THE MINNESOTA IF A ROSE BOWL BERTH IS LOCKED UP AND A NATIONAL TITLE TRIP IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. CHECK BACK THEN.

I predict BTR is going to be the first victim of the new Kinnick Witchhunt protocol as explained below....
Tired of the few foul mouthed drunks at Kinnick? Text 97178
Spectators at Hawkeye football games look forward to the physical action at Kinnick Stadium, just as long as it is on the field and not in the stands.
With the introduction of FanAssist, a new text-for-help program, fans at Kinnick will have only have to send a text message to report problems with fellow fans or any other issues that may arise.
During the first Hawkeye football game of the season, against Northern Iowa on Sept. 5, FanAssist was used on four different occasions. The reported incidents involved unruly fans and the UI police were dispatched for two of the texts.
Typically, UI police officers arrive at the scene, listen to the parties involved, and address any problems, said Dave Visin, an associate director of the force.
No action was taken against any rowdy fans, because an officer’s presence is usually enough to settle the problem, he said.
FanAssist was advertised during the game, but some students said they were still unaware of the program’s existence.
As more people become aware of FanAssist, the program may be put to use more often said Rick Klatt, an assistant athletics director.
“It is a great service for fans that want to communicate,” he said.
Fans seemed to have mixed feelings about the texting application.
“I think it is good to ensure fans’ safety,” said UI junior Hadley Rapp.
Others were a little more skeptical.
“I haven’t had too many problems with fans,” said UI sophomore John Shepard. “I don’t think I’d need to use it.”
Neither Rapp nor Shepard had heard of the new program.
One concern for users of the text program is the often limited cell-phone service at Kinnick on game days.
“We currently have boosters for cell phones,” said Paula Jantz, an associate athletics director. “We also still encourage fans to utilize security or the hotline if service is poor.”
Hawkeye Sports purchased the required software systems for the package from FanDriveMedia with a one time payment of $4,000 prior to this year’s football season, Jantz said.
This is the first year FanDriveMedia is available to colleges. Many universities nationwide have begun using the program, including Iowa State University.
Jonathan Vick, a spokesman for FanDriveMedia, which provides the service, gave a breakdown of how the alert system works.
If a concern arises, fans can send the text “ALERT” with the issue and location to 97178.
Once sent, the text is received at a security control center monitored by an individual dedicated to receiving the messages. Once received, a confirmation text is automatically returned to the fan. The control center then determines who should respond to the issue.

Not a chance, Seth. If I get kicked out, they better have a helluva reason or I will be filing a 1983 suit the following Monday. I don't cuss and I can hold my liquor, so the only reason I would ever get kicked out is if Kweefe's family sat in front of me and disagreed with my assessment of his coaching (in)ablity.

She doesn't like roses...if I choose to serenade her on Saturday it will be with a shot of Jameson or a pint of Guiness. |

Iowa wins by at least 3 scores. Safeties? I'd be surprised to see Iowa even score three TDs on Saturday, much less win by three. I don't know what the line is on the game, but I wouldn't take Iowa to cover the spread. Iowa and "spread" kind of go together like oil and water anyway.... |

What's been nagging me, is the past 3 times we were ranked #8 in the nation... we lost.
So I agree, we're done.

Dudes, it ain't meant to be. It just ain't. We're gonna lose this year and the sooner everyone comes to grips with the fact that we ain't gonna win either the Rose Bowl or the national title, the better. My best case scenario right now is a close Alamo Bowl loss, because anytime I expect anything more, the Hawks break my heart.

Actually Iowa has done well against the spread this year: UNI: NL ISU: -6 covered AZ: -4 covered PSU: +9 covered Ark St: -23 Michigan: -8 Wisconsin: +2 covered MSU: +2 covered They have covered 5 of the 7 so far and should have covered against Meatchicken but KK decided to get conservative with a 9 point lead that almost came back to bite them in the ass. |
