Iowa excuses if/when they lose

[isu1738]

Let's hear it.

What will Hawk fans use as excuses, or other trash talk, if we win on Saturday?

"You guys finally won, but we still own you in the all-time record"
"Your super bowl etc"
"Have fun losing to Oklahoma"

Kirk is more focused on beating Penn State and Wisconsin.

 

[KnappShack]

QB had a hand cramp.

 

[JM4CY]

QB had a menstrual cramp.

Fify

 

[Neptune78]

We're still traumatized by the Stanford band.

 

[mjclark2611]

This game didn't matter to us......

 

[CascadeClone]

You forgot "took your best team ever to beat an average Iowa team"

 

[DodgerHawki]

QB had a hand cramp.

Well played.

Petras is used to throwing to black jerseys. Hence the two picks.

I think the guy that tweeted that is a little confused.

I’ve already heard the excuses start. Saying that if they lose it doesn’t really matter because they are focused on getting in the Big 10 title game. Which is fine. Let’s just win.

Trap game, looking ahead to Kent State.

 

[AgronAlum]

We didn’t have a band.

 

[Clark]

Petras sucks, is that a good enough excuse?

 

[Candide]

"Klan rally ran super late last night."

From every comment I’ve seen
if Iowa loses this game
they were beat by a top ten team on the road with better over all players
the fans think they have a decent shot but no one will be surprised with a L

"You guys were supposed to win" The narrative is already being set up.

 

[HFCS]

They'll try to play the old "the game was played before we had time to improve over course of the year".

That one always comes out, it'll be more irrational than ever this time given how poorly ISU has started seasons under Campbell only to be nearly unbeaten in Oct and pretty solid in November.

"You guys were supposed to win" The narrative is already being set up.

I'll take it.

"Glad to see you've accepted the natural order." is a good response to that one.
