well fox sucks if they think a little wuss Florida team can beat Iowa
Sorry finfan and speedrush for lacking in the comment area, been busy adding two additions to the family. Not getting much sleep and free time.
As for finfan man we were so close to having an iowa vs okla alamo bowl. That would have fun, of course iowa would have won.:tongue:
And speed yes i know the florida is a better team and more physical, but there still not more physical than the hawks. Its gonna be close and i hope to see you at the game.
Go hawks

BS, look at the game threads, I was the first one to say the refs were horrible. People need to get over it, even Chad Greenway said "you can't put in on the refs, we didn't play well enough to win, they were the better team." Iowa played like crap in the first half and wanna use the refs as a scapegoat.

shut up you only think that because you like the gators
Maybe Florida would of won if we didn't get cheated out of a onside kick but the refs had no right to cheat Iowa out of a game refs got involved when Iowa score......when Florida had a 17-0 refs would call stuff on the gator but when Iowa scored nope the refs turned
To all loyal Hawkeyes from enraged Iowa Alumni in Chicago.
Subject: Who was offside?
Officials Play Bad Santa to Iowa, Michigan.....
Bowl season is maybe the biggest attraction for loyal
college football fans.
For the faithful, it is a last chance to watch their
favorite teams before a
long and seemingly endless offseason. For some of the
players, it is the
last time they will ever wear their college uniform. Unfortunately, the
images and memories of that final game may be
bittersweet, and even foul
tasting at times. That will likely be the case for a
pair of Big Ten teams.
If the subpar officiating in the Michigan-Nebraska
game was hard to watch,
the Conference USA crew made the Iowa-Florida game
nearly unbearable to
view.
Florida jumped out quickly 17-0 on Iowa and looked to
have the Hawks right
where they wanted them. But then Iowa came to life and
closed the gap to
17-7 with barely over a minute left in the opening
half. Then the officials
got involved.
After Iowa was hit with a questionable flag for
running into the punter that
gave the ball back to the Gators, Chris Leak scrambled
on first down and was
brought down after a minimal gain. Defensive end Kenny
Iwebema was flagged
for a helmet-to-helmet hit, but the replay clearly
showed that Iwebema never
came close to hitting Leak with his helmet. The flag
stopped the clock and
gave the Gators the ball inside the Iowa 40-yard line.
A few plays later,
Florida got their 17 point lead back. If the call
unnerved some, it would
only get uglier in the second half.
In the third quarter, the Iowa defense was flagged for interfering with the
Gators count. Instead of facing a third down
situation, the call, which I
had yet to see called in the 2005 season until this
game, gave the Gators a
first down and Florida scored on the very next play to
make the score 31-7.
On the very next possession, the ridiculous became
idiotic as Iowa receiver
Clinton Solomon was penalized 15 yards for grabbing a
face mask. The major
problem with the call was that Solomon was the one who
was dragged down by
the face mask by a Florida defender Vernell Brown.
Officials may have tried to make up for their
ineptitude later by giving
Iowa a gift first down when Solomon was clearly
brought down two yards short
of the marker. Unfortunately, it did nothing to
improve the competence level
of the C-USA crew.
And they continued to blow obvious calls by not
flagging Florida for too
many men on the field on at least one occasion. But
possibly the
best......or worst was saved for last by this crew.
After Iowa scored 17 unanswered points in the final
quarter to narrow the
score to 31-24, the teams lined up for the obvious
onsides kick.
Iowa kicker Kyle Schlicher hit the ball perfectly and
when Scott Chandler
recovered, visions of a replay of the comeback victory
over LSU a year ago
in the Capitol One Bowl were alive and well. But the
officials quickly
dashed any hopes by calling Iowa offsides on the
kickoff. Once again, the
replay clearly showed the call was dead wrong, but the
Hawkeyes hopes for a
comeback were over.
Considering how Nebraska and Florida moved the ball on
the Big Ten teams,
there is no guarantee Iowa or Michigan could have
beaten their bowl
opponents. Florida shut down the Iowa ground attack
and the Huskers ran the
ball almost at will on the Wolverines. The unfortunate
part is that no one
will ever know if Iowa or Michigan could have come
back and won.
Every player who walks onto the football field knows
there is a distinct
possiblity he could walk off on the losing end.
Victory is guaranteed to no
one. But there is no worse feeling than not having the
chance to win.
this is what I found
Sadly, that is what the Sun Belt and Conference USA
crews did to Michigan
and Iowa. They cheated them of their chance to win
with their inept
officiating.
The powers that be bemoan the fact that having a
playoff system would hurt
the integrity of the bowls.
Maybe those same people should think about what
handing major bowl
assignments to inept officiating crews does for the
integrity of their
precious bowls.

Two things, first, you cannot tell anyone on this site to shut up. We don't allow that here. Second, when you post an article, you can only post part of the article with a link to the rest. I took out the part of the article about Michigan so, it's okay now but, please follow these rules and read the TOS so, that your experience here will be conflict free. Thanks. --mod

Wow you are a poor loser. Refs are part of the game. I also said the refs were horrible and it was a shame that that last call is the ONLY one getting all the publicity. BUT it was not the only bad one. There were plenty of bad calls. GET OVER IT. YOU LOST.Packer Fan said:
Half of my family is from Iowa and the other half is from Chicago. EVERYONE of them is saying the same thing. "Iowa lost". Get over it. UF has been screwed by the refs MANY a times.
