I thought I was going to go postal after the double penalty. That game was like paying full price for a root canal with crappy anesthesia. Excruciating but successful and over.
This is probably the least joy I’ve ever had beating Iowa. Definitely relief.
Well except punting and punt blockingRelief ISU completely dominated that game at every position
Right there with you.My curse is that my hatred of losing exceeds my joy of winning. It sucks.
Key phrase there is "happy to have the W".Sometimes there are games where two teams put on great performances and its almost a shame that only one team can win because they've both done everything they can to earn it. This was the opposite of that. Both teams did seemingly everything they could to lose but someone had to go home with the W. If you had told me before the game we turned the ball over 2 times and had two of our punts blocked, I would have figured we would've lost by 20+
Happy to have the W, but the bad feeling about it many have is understandable.
I HAVE HATED THIS GAME SINCE 1977...WHEN WE LOST 12-10...With a team that went over to Nebraska and beat the number 15th ranked cornhaulers!!Do you feel genuinely happy or just relieved? Me, just relief. I've come to really hate this game.
