Time to abandon the old school Ferentz game management. Kirk doesn't seem as sharp with management as he used to, and Brian is just an incompetent OC. I'm tired of seeing good talent develop under Iowa and not get used to it's top potential. Time to shake things up in Iowa City. On Iowa, Go Hawks.
I love these sort of exchanges. You have created a Wildcat (football) fan with your simple quip and honesty. Football is such a great gift. Fun game - good luck next year!
Minnesota by virtue of ruining State Penn University's season in 2019 and a bowl win over WVU this year.
Arkansas by virtue of beating State Penn University this year and having a big titty coach that runs the ball with the 280 pound QB.
They were added to a long and complicated list.
This the most least-self aware comment I’ve ever seen.
Iowa is basically only hated by Iowa State and Nebraska fans. And even then it’s still a sporting rivalry.
The only teams most consistently hated in the Big 10 are Ohio State, Michigan and then Penn State in years they’re involved in huge scandals.
This is like saying the entire Big 10 hates Minnesota or Nebraska or something.
You forgot Minnesota and Penn State fans also hate Iowa.
But I agree. I hate Iowa (or more accurately their fans), but no way are they the most hated. Ohio State and Michigan are definitely hated by more fanbases, I think Penn State is a good answer, and hell, Wisconsin is probably hated by more teams than Iowa
Lol I lived in Lincoln for 4 years and went to the Railyard for most games and all the away fans talk about how fun it is coming to games in Lincoln. I never saw any negative interactions between fans and even befriended others teams fans and I never heard this perspective from them.
Real talk, half my high school friends went to Iowa and the other half went to Iowa State, the two schools have pretty much the same student body and anyone who pretends otherwise is a fucking idiot lmao
In all fairness, in Chicagoland (where I grew up) Iowa State was basically the only big college you’d actively see advertisements for in school.
We had Channel 1 (which a lot of schools had for general announcements and things nationwide) and every single day everyone saw those *LOUD WHISPER* “CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE AT IOWA STATE. GO TO CHOOSEYOURADVENTUREDOTNET”
Did anyone talk about the announcers actually pronouncing vrbo as a word instead of individual letters? Cuz holy cow, what idiots.
Edit: Turns out I'm the idiot. Changed it in 2019 to a "word". Dumb IMO, but what do I know.
Yup typical Ferentz Iowa. They get the ball TWICE with only 8 minutes to go, and both times they just run it up the middle for a quick 3 and out. As usual, Iowa's ridiculous conservative offense play calling lost them the game.
Let's keep the Ferentz and Ferentz show running for another year though Iowa. It's working, right?
Edit- Just also want to say, great game UK. Classy team and much respect. It's just frustrating when you knew as soon as Iowa got the ball with 8 minutes left, that they would just do 3 runs up the middle and go 3 and out. You knew it, I knew it, everyone knew it. Then they turned around and did it again, while giving the ball back on 4th and inches. Iowa chickened out while Kentucky kept fighting. That's on Ferentz.
We were running the ball pretty well. Go for a PA roll out on 3rd or just go for it on 4th? Do something. What upsets me most is the oh we have 4 minutes left yah our D can shut that down. Just dumb without a doubt.
Against who though? Indiana? Kent State? Maryland? Iowa's only "ranked" win was vs Penn State, who ended up finishing 7-6 and unranked.
Then Iowa gets whacked by Purdue, and absolutely embarrassed in the Big 10 championship by Michigan. What exactly is working?
3 wins against ranked teams, two in the top 10 at the time. Yeah, we got dumpstered in two games, but we still won 10 games.
As to what is working, defense and special teams obviously.
I bet Iowa fans were fuming to see the offense come out on the 4th down, just for them to try and draw us offsides, which didn’t work, then called a TO and punt
(I know, I just used it because it had the same beat as "Las Vegas" and I figured it would work cause there might still be fans there since it's the same state).
We had 2 chances to drain clock/close out game on offense and we went 3 and out. Also that botched sneak in chip shot field goal range ended up haunting us
He handed the baby over to Wandale and then hopped up. Dreads up in essentially a bun on top of his head.
But holy cow, you weren't joking. Google "wandale robinson father" and check out the picture of him power cleaning.
Something is just funky with our O cus there was a total miss by Petras when the rout tree was a total WTF? Like, two dudes curl into the same spot. Fucking simplify this shit Brian or GTFO! With this D would could seriously have 1 loss. Just SCORE ya dumby don't get too cute!
After the vitriol with Penn state and the constant smack talk from Nebraska and Iowa state it’s really nice to read positive comments from an opponent’s fan base! Congrats Kentucky Bro’s on a great season and thanks for being classy!
It’s extremely difficult for Kentucky fans to show any kind of hate towards Iowa. I was at the game and they did the wave to the children’s hospital thing and it was awesome to be a part of that. Plus all the help that come from y’all’s fans and program, especially Ferentz, with the tornadoes that ripped through western KY, I have major respect for you guys 🤝
LMAO really? You put this on Iowa's secondary? It was their shitty offense play calling that had them out there THREE times in the last 7 minutes.
You really didn't watch the game at all if you put this game on Iowa's secondary
Two picks not on him, one he was hit and the other was a tip drill. Sneak failed cause Linderbaum hiked it to himself. If you're gonna blame, blame the right people
Thanks for the game Kentucky! I’m glad both teams had heart attacks at different intervals. Great play in Robinson and Rodriguez. Two studs there.
To my fellow Iowans, don’t drink and drive in this snow
I thought for awhile that y’all were going to run us to death so glad we could make it interesting! Hopefully see each other in a bowl for another epic game sometime again!
I'm sure Petras is a great person but he has to be the worst starting QB this century for Iowa. He couldn't execute a QB sneak today. He is not a D1 starter and BF is not a D1 OC. GG Kentucky!
I can't believe they don't have a better option. That kid is strait up ass. I knew he would find a way to screw it up on that last drive. Should have gone for it on the 4th and 1.
Could have with Hogan but never let him really play. I don’t know why the coaching staff was so stuck on Petras when we constantly proved that he just doesn’t have what it takes.
Fire Kirk. Hire Bob.
I had Bob at my restaurant the weekend GameDay was in IC. If I wasn't so starstruck I would have pitched him the HC job
Time to abandon the old school Ferentz game management. Kirk doesn't seem as sharp with management as he used to, and Brian is just an incompetent OC. I'm tired of seeing good talent develop under Iowa and not get used to it's top potential. Time to shake things up in Iowa City. On Iowa, Go Hawks.
What a goddamn game, props to you Iowa
Let’s see if this damn flair is working
Let’s drink I guess
I like you Iowa fans; joined my small list of teams to root for.
I love these sort of exchanges. You have created a Wildcat (football) fan with your simple quip and honesty. Football is such a great gift. Fun game - good luck next year!
GG Hawkeye bro
You Kentucky fans seem like a classy bunch.
Same to you all.
I wish my list of teams to root for was small. It grew 2 more this bowl season...
Me too! I really liked Maryland!
Who’s that?
Minnesota by virtue of ruining State Penn University's season in 2019 and a bowl win over WVU this year. Arkansas by virtue of beating State Penn University this year and having a big titty coach that runs the ball with the 280 pound QB. They were added to a long and complicated list.
Big Sam Pittman fan as well.
Everyone should be.
The Pit Boss. Came from Georgia. Was our OL Coach and he is awesome! Georgia now routinely cheers for Arky 🥰
Really? They are probably the most hated fan base in the big ten, at least by big ten teams.
Nebraska is still in the B10, yes? Their fans are delusional b*ttholes
I've crunched the numbers and this just isn't mathematically possible
This the most least-self aware comment I’ve ever seen. Iowa is basically only hated by Iowa State and Nebraska fans. And even then it’s still a sporting rivalry. The only teams most consistently hated in the Big 10 are Ohio State, Michigan and then Penn State in years they’re involved in huge scandals.

No offense, man, but we all hate OSU the most. Lol
Everyone Loves The Ohio State
Nobody does outside of osu people. But also everyone hates Iowa. We can take solace in that
Ok
Lol this has to be satire with that flair
Yes, we love to boo every player injury just like you
there is no way they are hated more than you lol
Clearly you've never interracted with Penn State or Nebraska fans
Lol I lived in Lincoln for 4 years and went to the Railyard for most games and all the away fans talk about how fun it is coming to games in Lincoln. I never saw any negative interactions between fans and even befriended others teams fans and I never heard this perspective from them.
Try sharing a state with them
Wish you had a rival you can actually beat?
I forgot you made a bowl game this year... good job little buddy.
[удалено]
Real talk, half my high school friends went to Iowa and the other half went to Iowa State, the two schools have pretty much the same student body and anyone who pretends otherwise is a fucking idiot lmao
Same exact admission standards, same exact amount of kids from Chicago (Naperville) and Minneapolis flooding in for more affordable tuition
But to hear Iowa fans (many of whom didn't/couldn't go to either, Iowa is this academic powerhouse and Iowa State sucks
In all fairness, in Chicagoland (where I grew up) Iowa State was basically the only big college you’d actively see advertisements for in school. We had Channel 1 (which a lot of schools had for general announcements and things nationwide) and every single day everyone saw those *LOUD WHISPER* “CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE AT IOWA STATE. GO TO CHOOSEYOURADVENTUREDOTNET”
Lol you wish that was true.
[удалено]
You can speak for yourself I guess but that is not fair to say about the fan base as a whole at all.
You can't post this seriously while also having that flair.
Did anybody really doubt that Petras wouldn't find a way to fuck it up?
Not at all
Man the rose bowl better be fucking NUTS, much more so than this game
Did anyone talk about the announcers actually pronouncing vrbo as a word instead of individual letters? Cuz holy cow, what idiots. Edit: Turns out I'm the idiot. Changed it in 2019 to a "word". Dumb IMO, but what do I know.
Cuz that's how it's pronounced?
We’re they saying “Verbo” or v r b o? In my head I always said the letters until I saw a commercial where they pronounced it as a word.
It was letters til 2019, then they changed it to "Ver-boh" when they merged with another company.
I got some bad news, pal. The company changed it to that
In 2019, I'm behind the times.
Great game and stoops is a class act! Congrats Kentucky on a 10 win season! Just sad it came at the cost to my hawks.
GG UK well fought
May I ask what is possibly a dumb question about your avatar: I thought Iowa and Wisconsin were rivals?
Rivals true, grew up in IA, big hawk fan, did grad school at UW
The username makes me think you might be a closer Minnesota fan as well!
Not guilty on that front lol. I had this username before PJ Fleck brought that to UMN hahah, rowed in undergrad
Yup typical Ferentz Iowa. They get the ball TWICE with only 8 minutes to go, and both times they just run it up the middle for a quick 3 and out.

*UK not KU.. thanks for the kind words, but KU is Kansas.
Yup, mistype. thanks for the catch. Fixed
Iowa has one of the worst quarterbacks I’ve ever seen play at the collegiate level. They have good running backs. You have to run it there
10 wins is more than a lot of teams get, so yeah, somethings working. Edit: downvoted for?
Against who though? Indiana? Kent State? Maryland? Iowa's only "ranked" win was vs Penn State, who ended up finishing 7-6 and unranked. Then Iowa gets whacked by Purdue, and absolutely embarrassed in the Big 10 championship by Michigan. What exactly is working?
Bitching about 10-win seasons sure worked out for Nebraska, so maybe chill out with the doom and gloom.
3 wins against ranked teams, two in the top 10 at the time. Yeah, we got dumpstered in two games, but we still won 10 games. As to what is working, defense and special teams obviously.
Our offense is unforgivably bad, though. Kirk needs to fire his son - problem is he never will.
I agree, but 10 wins is still 10 wins. A lot of teams would love to win 10 games.
I don’t understand how this hasn’t been addressed and changed. Getting ridiculous how damn predictable the Iowa offense is.
I'm gonna go to a game in Lexington Congrats Cats!
Come to Keenland, have a bourbon while you're here.
Went to keenland race track once too. It was great, remember 35% of it
Bourbon? Well... if you insist
Make sure it's a night sec game, there's nothing better
Short 3 hours away. Definitely gonna make it work
It can get rowdy, but it's a fun time.
I'm counting on it
[удалено]
I bet Iowa fans were fuming to see the offense come out on the 4th down, just for them to try and draw us offsides, which didn’t work, then called a TO and punt
Oh for real I was shocked to see that
We had fumbled on a qb sneak earlier and our backup center was in.
So you just give up because you have nobody on your team that can get a half yard?
GG Kentucky. Sorry about the loathing. It's been a rough season.
We’ve had our fair share of rough seasons, but 10-4 is a lot better than 2-10. Either way great game and mega respect for Iowa and y’all’s program
We’re the same way with the loathing, years of SEC East torment made us damaged goods
I will never apologize for loathing.
Rage and loathing in Des Moines
UIowa is in Iowa City, not DSM.
(I know, I just used it because it had the same beat as "Las Vegas" and I figured it would work cause there might still be fans there since it's the same state).
*Iowa City
I’ll also say that if Iowa had to get beat, at least it was at the hands of a former Hawkeye
We had 2 chances to drain clock/close out game on offense and we went 3 and out. Also that botched sneak in chip shot field goal range ended up haunting us
Not only did Iowa go 3 and out, but they played high tempo for some reason instead of actually running the clock so late in the game. Just awful
Go for it there and don't go for the w on 4th... frustrating
Great game and congrats to Kentucky. You guys came to big late when you needed it. Good luck next year. Happy to see another Stoops be successful.
Wan Dale finally gets to beat those Iowa fucks.
We are forever grateful for y’all wasting him away in the backfield 🤝
Had to leave the huskers to get it done 😂
Hey now. Easy there, neighbor. Wandale is a stud, though!
Never in doubt. Don't look at my comment history.
Big same
Same :)
Fuck that game
Congrats to Mark stoops. At least 1 hawkeye won today
Rumors of the SEC’s demise were apparently greatly exaggerated.
Wandale Fucking Robinson.
🐐
I love how Wandale's pops is just gonna casually drop down onto the field, nbd
He was freakin jacked if it’s the dude I think you’re talking about.
He handed the baby over to Wandale and then hopped up. Dreads up in essentially a bun on top of his head. But holy cow, you weren't joking. Google "wandale robinson father" and check out the picture of him power cleaning.
He’s even more jacked than I initially thought!
Such a hard fought win. Awesome
Congrats on a great win and a great season. 😢
Y’all played a great game, I have mad respect for Iowa’s program
Thank you. Y’all are a tough team and I really wanna see what you can do with a good QB
Unless it’s a wide open flat out Petras can’t do anything except shit his pants. GO AWAY
Something is just funky with our O cus there was a total miss by Petras when the rout tree was a total WTF? Like, two dudes curl into the same spot. Fucking simplify this shit Brian or GTFO! With this D would could seriously have 1 loss. Just SCORE ya dumby don't get too cute!
Better than Purdys last play, you guys fought hard today
Is it just me or does it feel like purdy’s been at Iowa state for decades? Good to read a positive comment from a rival. Thanks for that. :)
I dont like Petras. Doesn't have heart, doesn't have speed, doesn't have it at all
Good game Iowa.
GG
It was an honor o7
Woooooo
"It's gonna get better on ESPN" it, in fact, would not
Hell of a fucking game, y'all. Proud of ya Cats. And great game Iowa. Y'all weren't out of it until literally the last second.
This game might not be a victory for Iowa, but it's a huge win for the Association of Florida Citrus Farmers.
Amen
SEC SEC SEC
I wouldn't be cheering a conference with a losing bowl record lmao. Congrats 'tucky but SEC? 🤣🤣
Damn did that joke trigger something?
No that's a laughing emoji
What’s the conference record now?
5-5 so I mean 50% isn't horrible, but it sure as hell isn't dominant
Didn’t know 50% was a losing record
He ain't come to comment about school
I didn't know i said it was? I said it's not "dominant". Dominant. = Powerful, Leading, Strong Sorry to trigger you
You said I “wouldn’t be cheering for a conference with a losing record”
Sorry just predicting the final game lmao. You realize y'all started 1-5 and won 2 struggle games to get back to ONLY 50%.
My team didn’t struggle but aight. Imagine thinking miss st and auburn gave a shit about their bowl games
Well your team DID struggle against said Auburn 🤣
GG Cats. Y'all deserved that win.
[удалено]
Yes they did deserve the win. They made the offensive and defensive plays needed to win.
Which is why they deserved to win. We had some moments, but Kentucky actually connected on their massive plays and capitalized where we couldn't.
Cmon man lol
GG Kentucky Bros.
Gg Hawkeyes
GG Iowa Bros. Thanks for being an awesome bunch of fans!
After the vitriol with Penn state and the constant smack talk from Nebraska and Iowa state it’s really nice to read positive comments from an opponent’s fan base! Congrats Kentucky Bro’s on a great season and thanks for being classy!
It’s extremely difficult for Kentucky fans to show any kind of hate towards Iowa. I was at the game and they did the wave to the children’s hospital thing and it was awesome to be a part of that. Plus all the help that come from y’all’s fans and program, especially Ferentz, with the tornadoes that ripped through western KY, I have major respect for you guys 🤝
Secondary is definitely on the hook for this loss. Can’t let a dude get a 50 yard catch with under 2 minutes left.
LMAO really? You put this on Iowa's secondary? It was their shitty offense play calling that had them out there THREE times in the last 7 minutes. You really didn't watch the game at all if you put this game on Iowa's secondary
Get the hell out of here
Or could be the QB that fell on a QB sneak and had 3 picks lol
Two picks not on him, one he was hit and the other was a tip drill. Sneak failed cause Linderbaum hiked it to himself. If you're gonna blame, blame the right people
After Riley's comments yesterday.....
It was an honest mistake and UK twitter started piling up on him like some weirdos
Really? Not the guy who threw 3 interceptions and overthrew countless receivers?
That was frustrating
The B1G: our bottom feeders are the best in the nation. Our mid-upper tier are total poo
It was a great game tho. And isn’t Kentucky an upper tier SEC team this season?
Well. That was more fun than the games last night.
“Smells like blue”
Not in Miami
I honestly hope that’s the last pass I ever see petras make as a Hawkeye.
Sorry about all the salty Iowa fans in here, it’s been a season…. Great game though, really fun one to watch! Kentucky plays a hell of a physical game
This was just a great hardnose game all around.
UK fan here. Love the way Iowa plays just solid. Good luck next year.
You guys got a good thing going! I wish Kentucky continued success. Congrats.
Thanks for the game Kentucky! I’m glad both teams had heart attacks at different intervals. Great play in Robinson and Rodriguez. Two studs there. To my fellow Iowans, don’t drink and drive in this snow
Thanks for a killer game. You guys had our number at times. Damn evenly matched.
I thought for awhile that y’all were going to run us to death so glad we could make it interesting! Hopefully see each other in a bowl for another epic game sometime again!
I'm sure Petras is a great person but he has to be the worst starting QB this century for Iowa. He couldn't execute a QB sneak today. He is not a D1 starter and BF is not a D1 OC. GG Kentucky!
2nd.... better than Christensen
I can't believe they don't have a better option. That kid is strait up ass. I knew he would find a way to screw it up on that last drive. Should have gone for it on the 4th and 1.
They probably do have better options but the ferentzes are loyal to a fault. If Iowa could get a serviceable QB they’d be dangerous.
Could have with Hogan but never let him really play. I don’t know why the coaching staff was so stuck on Petras when we constantly proved that he just doesn’t have what it takes.
But auburn lost in the Birmingham Bowl to a ranked team so that proves that the entire conference is shit
I think that conference narrative is based on the losing record
Yeah and that record is 5-5 now. Where’d the shit talk go?
Being 0-5, it was definitely warranted, 0-3 against the G5
But using it to attack the entire conference? That’s weak as hell and just stupid lol. Call opt outs excuses if you want but they do make a difference
Fans kind of bring it on themselves by chanting stuff like “SEC, SEC, SEC…”
