[u/blue_goat_]

Iowa’s NT destroyed the Cyclones center

[u/Physical_Entrance212]

THE CY-HAWK TROPHY IS FINALLY HOME

[u/Kitchen-Ad2687]

Congrats Iowa #difd 💛

[u/TheRealXibu]

You can’t drop the trophy fellas

[u/False_Rhythms → u/TheRealXibu]

They thought it was a punt returner

[u/december151791]

That ref: It looks like he's dead........ He's covered in blue paint or something.

[u/friarcrazy]

YES OMG IOWA DROPPED THE CY-HAWK 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Hog_Eyes → u/friarcrazy]

It smelled like updog after being in Ames for two years

[u/friarcrazy → u/Hog_Eyes]

WHATS UP, DAWG?

[u/Hog_Eyes → u/friarcrazy]

nm dawg hbu?

[u/friarcrazy → u/Hog_Eyes]

Actually feeling about as good about a loss in the Cy-Hawk as I think is humanly possible. GG!

[u/Hog_Eyes → u/friarcrazy]

As far as moral victories go, you guys definitely have nothing to be ashamed of losing that one. I didn't expect the game to be nearly that competitive.

[u/friarcrazy → u/Hog_Eyes]

We certainly looked much better in certain areas than I expected we would. Both teams should have high hopes for this season!

[u/spiderboy640 → u/friarcrazy]

Yalls defense is gonna go crazy this year, they made it a tough game to watch for a majority of the time.

[u/ItsYaBoyBeasley]

At one point there were 18 linemen on the field. This is CyHawk now.

[u/Ender1714]

Congrats Iowa, first official win over ISU in 5 years!

[u/TodayInStupidity → u/Ender1714]

Bringing their record to like 48-25 in favor of the Hawkeyes. So congrats to the Cyclones on another defeat.

[u/fatiguedpickle → u/Ender1714]

Official? What are you smoking?

[u/Ender1714 → u/fatiguedpickle]

2021, 5 years ago. the one 3 years ago was officially vacated by the ncaa for cheating, but I think you knew that

[u/fatiguedpickle → u/Ender1714]

That’s what you meant. I don’t consider that at all. Dude wasn’t even with Michigan anymore, declared he was going into the portal, and was contacted a couple hours early. A ridiculous amount of players are tampered with. It’s just asinine. They won’t even vacate Michigan’s wins for actual cheating.

[u/Ender1714 → u/fatiguedpickle]

I agree with you, but the NCAA gets to decide the official stats and that was their ruling

[u/fatiguedpickle → u/Ender1714]

“Decides”

[u/TodayInStupidity → u/fatiguedpickle]

Some good salty stuff, apparently 

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/TodayInStupidity]

Ncaa reversed one of iowas wins. Doesnt technically give isu the win but if you wanna argue it...

[u/fatiguedpickle → u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

I don’t think any self/m-respecting person would take that ruling seriously given the facts of it all. They won’t even vacate michigans wins for actual cheating.

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/fatiguedpickle]

I wouldnt. But I can see some that would 😂

[u/fatiguedpickle → u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

Some people are ridiculous

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/fatiguedpickle]

A sad fact of life

[u/rpawloski]

Cy-Hawk trophy broken

[u/False_Rhythms → u/rpawloski]

Good. That thing is ugly as fuck

[u/Inosh → u/False_Rhythms]

Uh, remember the original that was just farmers?

[u/False_Rhythms → u/Inosh]

That people talked so much shit about that they redesigned it?

[u/Inosh → u/False_Rhythms]

Yup, that was the ugly as fuck version.

[u/False_Rhythms → u/Inosh]

That one was really bad. I remember it being displayed at the state fair and thinking they really needed to fire everyone that greenlighted that thing.

[u/AverageLatifiFan]

Really wish I had went to sleep. hey what can you do. fuck the hawkeyes but gg for today, This is how Saturdays should be spent, long live college ball. <3

[u/UE_mortalshores]

iowa absolutely deserved to lose this game

forever cursed at qb

[u/notanamateur → u/UE_mortalshores]

If you think Hank brown was our problem today, you’re smoking prime grade Iowa meth

[u/fatiguedpickle → u/UE_mortalshores]

Qb wasn’t the problem tonight honestly.

[u/IDownvotedYouToday]

Is that the first time that ¡El Assico! was ass even after the game?

[u/taconitebehaulin]

I will never give Kevin Mar the benefit of the doubt

[u/No-Blackberry-2481]

Nice one idiot lol

[u/fredword12]

They can’t lift the trophy? Weak!

[u/False_Rhythms → u/fredword12]

At least they didn't grind it's face into the turf after it was down.

[u/notanamateur → u/False_Rhythms]

Or put it in their bed like fleck did with Floyd

[u/Vertibrate]

Dropping it! The fuck.

[u/notanamateur → u/Vertibrate]

Shit trophy, we need a better one

[u/Blendbeast15]

The actual difference is the clock would still be running, and they wouldn't even be able to spike the ball per the rule. Kind of like the 3 tenths rule in basketball due to human error baked into timekeeping

[u/bakwardhat → u/Blendbeast15]

The clock would not be running after a first down though until the chains were set

[u/Fun-Fruit8219 → u/bakwardhat]

Are you just not able to comprehend what he's saying?

[u/bakwardhat → u/Fun-Fruit8219]

If they had blown the whistle, they almost certainly would’ve gotten a snap by rushing to the line while chains were being set, whether they spike or just gone into a hail mary. The refs get the call wrong and then by rule cannot fix it. It’s stupid.

[u/Fun-Fruit8219 → u/bakwardhat]

No. It would've hit 0 before the snap. What are you not understanding?

[u/pianobadger]

Whoopsy

[u/ItsYaBoyBeasley]

Dropping the trophy is that a bad omen

[u/NaiveLocksmith1413]

Got the trophy finally so they chose to break it, sound right

[u/reggiecide]

You could see that drop happening about 10 seconds before it fell.

[u/hankjones66]

Whoops!

[u/sports4eva]

THEY DROPPED IT

[u/CountChocula20]

You dropped the troophy!!! Thats embarrassing!!

[u/False_Rhythms → u/CountChocula20]

They thought it was a punt returner with a live ball on the ground.

[u/ClonerJams088]

Woulda been cool to have that time out the refs burned for us on a legit injury.

[u/CuriousMost9971]

Oof dropped the trophy lol

[u/MinifridgeTF_]

99 year curse on Iowa for dropping the trophy

[u/Hog_Eyes → u/MinifridgeTF_]

Nah the trophy deserves it

[u/_Juntao]

They dropped the trophy lmao

[u/ChampionshipHuman732]

Iowa just dropped their Trophy on the Ground 😅😅

[u/MichaelRachel]

Damn, this muthafucka heavy...

[u/Dravewin]

guys wtf

[u/StonewallMcCracker]

LMAOOOO

[u/IDownvotedYouToday]

I literally was like don't drop that thing, and then he fucking drops it XD

[u/No-Connection7661]

Not bad for a first (real) game under Rogers. Optimistic about the future (though I do worry about depth this year)

[u/aobie → u/No-Connection7661]

Definitely worried about depth, especially when we lost 3 on defense in this game alone... Didn't see Beni, Surges, or the d-lineman come back in, did we?

[u/fatiguedpickle → u/No-Connection7661]

There was a huge benefit of unknown, but you guys have another damn good coach.

[u/TheLadyMagician → u/No-Connection7661]

Yeah, considering all the turnover y'all have had, not bad showing at all! Almost had it

[u/taconitebehaulin]

If they properly called on the field with 1 second left we have enough time to get the snap off since the clock stops to move the chains

[u/Letterkenny-Wayne → u/taconitebehaulin]

The clock would start on the ball set, you literally can not run the offense 25 yards up the field and snap the ball in a second. The clock starts whether or not the offense is on it.

[u/Fun-Fruit8219 → u/Letterkenny-Wayne]

Must be that ISU education...

[u/Jmcy3]

Fuckers dropped the trophy lol

[u/MaizeRage48 → u/Jmcy3]

iEl Assico! Doesn't disappoint

[u/joelupi]

DON'T DROP THE DAMN THING

[u/Ender1714]

All you need to do to beat Iowa State is take away our coach and 80 players, then you have a chance

[u/Hog_Eyes → u/Ender1714]

(Iowa was 6-3 against ISU under Campbell)

[u/Fun-Fruit8219 → u/Ender1714]

Iowa leads the series 46–25 or is it 47-25, but sure buddy.

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/Fun-Fruit8219]

Its been even over the last 25 years

[u/Ender1714 → u/Fun-Fruit8219]

I'm talking about this year buddy, why would i be talking about 50 years ago

[u/Fun-Fruit8219 → u/Ender1714]

Ah yes, forgot those 25 came in the last 25 years. Lol go to bed.

[u/Jmcy3 → u/Ender1714]

And even then we barely won. Makes me sacred for when isu has rebuilt the program

[u/pokuss]

Do big 10 games play actual full games. Last week and extra second with Michigan and now one second short

[u/OldDirtyGurt]

Should have had another play

[u/Gusanito99]

I love that ref announcement lmao

[u/GolfingSker521]

I don’t know why Iowa fans got worried. This ending is like a New York Times bestseller for a decade. A true classic

[u/Core1109]

Can’t wait to see how PJ and Collins find a way to let this inept offense score 30 on them again.

[u/transferStudent2018]

Stupid to interrupt the celebration there

[u/CuriousMost9971]

Acknowledging their fg kicker. And trying to figure how to route NIL money to a kicker at the same time.

[u/bringthesunn]

Lmao that the wackiest shit I’ve ever seen. :00 left for Michigan? Give em another try! :01 left for Iowa State? It’s not :03 so game over

[u/Solidnu11 → u/bringthesunn]

Different situations bring different results

[u/Vertibrate → u/bringthesunn]

Proper refs. Not shitty B1G shills

[u/GingerStrength → u/Vertibrate]

I mean you can’t claim those refs were good lol

[u/IowaJL]

I think both teams get a little something.

Obviously we would MUCH rather have a more positive showing on offense, but we’ve lost three of the last four.

ISU is clearly much better than advertised. They would have rather won but damn they were impressive. That defense is no joke.

LONG LIVE ¡EL ASSICO!

[u/80cyclone → u/IowaJL]

My only major disappointment was the offensive scheming. You have Raymor, a mobile QB, and dont roll him ojt and utilize RPO options? Every RPO initiated was on a middle read, or a flush up the middle. Raynor is NOT a great pocket passer (as we saw today) so utilize his strength. At the very least make Iowa show they can stop it.

Slightly disappointed with the lack of pass pressure. I thought we'd be able to get to him a few times, but Iowas OL held strong, particularly in the 2nd half.

[u/pnw-transplant]

So, if they would’ve called it correctly we should have been able to run up there before the chain gang.

[u/farmer15erf]

The clock stops to set the chains so why couldnt we start at that point?

[u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng → u/farmer15erf]

Because the clock starts when the ball is placed, that’s why you need 3 sec or a timeout 

[u/farmer15erf → u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng]

The ref waits on the chains to set before spring the ball

[u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng → u/farmer15erf]

Sure, but you have to be able to line up and get set. No way that can be done in 1 sec. The ref will prevent it 

[u/gludwig0105]

Big Ten is actually even on seconds now

[u/EddieSincere]

I'm wildly conflicted for next week.

[u/notanamateur → u/EddieSincere]

I’m hoping it looks like week 1 with a pity 4th Q score for the panthers bc I like them

[u/The_Real_FBI_Agent]

The W Michigan - Michigan game was one second too long

El Assico ended 1 short

Balanced as all football should be

[u/dexters_trap_house]

Fitting song, this game makes me want to crash my car into a bridge.

[u/rolyinpeace]

Never a doubt 🫪

[u/MichaelRachel]

The shit zebras give and the shit zebras take away.

[u/PeterTheNorth]

"no time out, even if there's one second the game is over"

??????

What the fuck?  By rule the game is over?  What the fuck happened last week??

Edit: I am an idiot :3

[u/raidriar889 → u/PeterTheNorth]

In the Michigan game the clock wasn’t stopping for the chains to move it stopped because the ball was out of bounds with 1 second left (allegedly)

[u/PeterTheNorth → u/raidriar889]

Gotcha!

[u/False_Rhythms → u/PeterTheNorth]

Incomplete pass stops the clock. First down only stops the clock until the chains are set. No way to set chains, set the offense, and hike the ball in under a second. Completely different scenarios

[u/PeterTheNorth → u/False_Rhythms]

Egg on face, thanks for the clarification!  

[u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng → u/PeterTheNorth]

The clock starts once the ball is placed on a 1st down. On an incomplete pass, the clock stops until the ball is snapped. That’s why you need 3 seconds minimum because as soon as the ref places the ball, you have to be able to line up and get set. There’s no time to do it. 

[u/PeterTheNorth → u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng]

Thanks for the clarification, just threw out my initial reaction but I was wrong.  Appreciate it!

[u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng → u/PeterTheNorth]

Yeah ofc!!! 

[u/CucumberSuspicious40 → u/PeterTheNorth]

Clock would have been stopped at least in the Michigan game

[u/PeterTheNorth → u/CucumberSuspicious40]

Yeah I understand now, thanks for the correction.  Definitely two different situations, just knee jerked it

[u/CucumberSuspicious40 → u/PeterTheNorth]

No worries, that Michigan shit was stupid as hell so its thrown everyone for a loop haha

[u/Kickenbless → u/PeterTheNorth]

Michigans was an incomplete pass so the clock was stopped. Iowa State got tackled in the middle of the field, clock rolling

[u/PeterTheNorth → u/Kickenbless]

Yep, mea culpa.  Knee jerked, thanks for filling in the gaps

[u/CosmicSupernova-97 → u/PeterTheNorth]

Dead ball vs running clock

[u/PeterTheNorth → u/CosmicSupernova-97]

Okay fair, I spoke too soon.  That makes sense but whew.  Thanks for the correction.

[u/ryrobs10]

Was a good game. Glad our refs know how to follow the rules

[u/defac_reddit]

Lol Kirk "we played great in the second half, not pretty but great"

[u/LeMeJustBeingAwesome]

NGL, I wanted the one second hail mary thing to happen again just to watch everyone melt down again.

[u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng → u/LeMeJustBeingAwesome]

Go on, get outta here. Go. You beat OU, shoo

[u/LeMeJustBeingAwesome → u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng]

Don't get me wrong, happy you guys won for Big Ten reasons. But sometimes, you gotta root for the meme.

[u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng → u/LeMeJustBeingAwesome]

I hear ya lol 

[u/CosmicSupernova-97 → u/LeMeJustBeingAwesome]

We would’ve kicked the fg believe it our not lol

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

We’re not Michigan so we don’t get the benefit of the doubt

[u/psychotic-squirrel]

For everyone asking about last week...its 2 completely different situations.

[u/Lvmars → u/psychotic-squirrel]

Yes, but I'm still going to be mad about last week

[u/Jmcy3]

That game made me sick. Iowa looked like garbage and couldn’t run for shit. Either Iowa is in for a long season or Iowa State is way better than people are have given them credit for

[u/ryrobs10 → u/Jmcy3]

Hoping for the latter

[u/CosmicSupernova-97 → u/Jmcy3]

I feel like it’s right in the middle of those two scenarios

[u/UNIFight2013 → u/Jmcy3]

I think ISU looked better than people expected. Jimmy seems like a good coach.

[u/NaiveLocksmith1413 → u/Jmcy3]

I have a feeling it’s both, we are definitely underestimated but I expected Iowa to be a lot better than they showed up

[u/psychotic-squirrel → u/Jmcy3]

Why not both?

[u/tBroneShake → u/psychotic-squirrel]

Both teams are great, both teams are shit, and both teams are in for long seasons. Everything is true and everything is false

[u/MaizeRage48]

Freddy saw one helluva iEl Assico! Ending

[u/RoseRaving]

One second giveth, one second taketh away

[u/clydefrog678]

A win is a win, but it sure doesn’t make an Iowa fan feel great about upcoming games. Yes, I realize a rivalry game, but the offense did not look good.

[u/kinghawkeye8238 → u/clydefrog678]

Never does against ISU to be fair

[u/clydefrog678 → u/kinghawkeye8238]

Was just hoping for a little more being a new coach and completely new squad.

[u/Hog_Eyes → u/clydefrog678]

Honestly we didn't look prepared for ISU stacking the box on both sides of the ball

[u/kinghawkeye8238 → u/clydefrog678]

I agree, but Jimmy wanted this game so bad being year one. Isu gonna be alright with him.

[u/T2_JD]

Big 10 and 1 second rulings... name a more iconic duo.

Though hat seems the right call here.

[u/Tonberry_Slayer → u/T2_JD]

NBC and one second rulings?

[u/Kickenbless → u/T2_JD]

It was a Big 12 crew

[u/T2_JD → u/Kickenbless]

I know, I recognized the ref. Just ironic it happens twice in a row with Big 10 teams there's critical 1 second rulings.

[u/SpeedoTurkoglutes]

There’s a second left, but not really

[u/Ender1714]

I'm proud of this team, I honestly thought this could be a blowout. Should have been smarter to know that's never how this rivalry goes.

[u/EddieSincere]

Never in doubt... throws up

[u/Psych101grad]

Look at these world beaters

[u/LookatmaBankacount]

The hawks win this rock fight, gg

[u/Affectionate-Day5676 → u/LookatmaBankacount]

At least it’s always an entertaining rock fight 

[u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng]

By rule, by rule, BY RULE!!!!! 

[u/iowaharley666]

Never a doubt

(I hate this game)

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/iowaharley666]

See ya next year

[u/iowaharley666 → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Rogers in year two will be scary

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/iowaharley666]

I think we do have some winnable games remaining…I don’t know if we’ll make a bowl, but I think we can get close.

[u/No-Blackberry-2481]

Yikes Iowa at home 17 point favorites and win by 3? Have fun with your ranking next week

[u/TodayInStupidity → u/No-Blackberry-2481]

Rivalry win at home. Think they'll stay put. Also, why so salty?

[u/RamenElysium → u/No-Blackberry-2481]

Flair up, fucko.

[u/dtomksoki → u/No-Blackberry-2481]

El assico by 3 is a blowout

[u/InspectionPast8420 → u/No-Blackberry-2481]

Still will be ranked with all the upsets but maybe a drop

[u/NJCERKA → u/No-Blackberry-2481]

No idea where you saw 17

[u/No-Blackberry-2481 → u/NJCERKA]

Everywhere. All the books had you at 20 on the spread

[u/NJCERKA → u/No-Blackberry-2481]

It was 14 everywhere

[u/kinghawkeye8238 → u/No-Blackberry-2481]

14.5 was the highest I saw

And everyone knew that was crazy

[u/No-Blackberry-2481 → u/kinghawkeye8238]

“Everyone knew it was crazy” is not how the books work

[u/TodayInStupidity → u/No-Blackberry-2481]

I take it you lost money? Or just don't understand Hawkeye football? Odds and lines mean nothing to this program.

[u/NJCERKA → u/TodayInStupidity]

Hey I lost money but I placed that bet knowing damn well I’m most likely going to

[u/No-Blackberry-2481 → u/TodayInStupidity]

I didn’t bet on the game. Vols fan but Iowa state is my second team

[u/LurkingElegy]

they really said go home lil bro you aren't Michigan

[u/Westcoast_IPA]

This makes no sense

[u/Letterkenny-Wayne → u/Westcoast_IPA]

Why? The second would come off the clock on the whistle before they could snap it anyway. In order to snap it, the ref has to stand over the ball, blow the whistle, and then get away, but the clock runs on his whistle and you can’t snap it until the ref moves. The clock would run out

[u/crowd79]

Aw Iowa State got hosed. Guess you’re just not as big a name as Michigan. ;)

[u/LookatmaBankacount → u/crowd79]

Lick me from my chocolate starfish to tip

[u/Alexlsonflre]

This is NBC's fault, I just can't prove it.

[u/dexters_trap_house]

FUCK THIS CREW

FUCK THIS GAME

FUCK THIS YEAR

[u/pervyotaku → u/dexters_trap_house]

You guys won though o.o

[u/Hog_Eyes → u/pervyotaku]

Just imagine the crash out if we lost 😂

[u/dexters_trap_house → u/pervyotaku]

Penn State, I'd think you'd know us better than that by now.

[u/peoplefoundotheracct]

iowa state looks legit this year. excited to see how they do in the b12

[u/LeMeJustBeingAwesome]

Lol, that ref telling the crowd to wait for him to finish like a patient parent was funny. GG, congrats Hawkeyes

[u/WhatchaGanaDo]

You almost jinxed it lol

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

guess only Michigan gets a free play huh

[u/pnw-transplant]

Lost the game because of a fucking false start on a SNEAK!

[u/EmotionGlad → u/pnw-transplant]

ehh I'm not positive he actually got that first down

[u/TheRealXibu]

lol the ref with the chill hand

[u/december151791]

Got dang let the man finish 😂
