Interesting note: That is not rain, but the tears of Penn State fans watching a game slip away.
Did you know Iowa hasn't lost a game at Happy Valley since 1994? It's true. Tim Dwight single-handedly squeezed the life out of Penn State in 1996, and Iowa's won three more up there since then.
Of note, however, is the close nature of the games; Iowa has only won one of those four by more than three points, and that was an overtime contest in 2002 that saw Iowa blow a 35-13 lead in the fourth quarter before holding in the first OT. Past that, it's been 26-23, 6-4, and 21-20.
The nice Iowa that let the crowd dictate the game in Ames and Madison must be exorcised. It's time to shut 90,000+ PSU fans the fuck up. It's time to crush their hopes and dreams. Again.
In other words, it's time to be a bad guest. Not drunk uncle at the Christmas party bad; I mean Norm MacDonald bad.
Your comments are welcome, dear readers, and you all know the rules, so let's hear what you have to say!

And...
Is that two good punts in a row by RD??? I mean sure, it woulda' been nice to pin that one inside teh 5, but at least he didn't shank the fuck out of it. Shada looks good so far too.
dammit
It was too much to ask for Donahue to have 2 decent punts in a row. The field position game is looking good, so far.
And yet...
He looks positively Elway-esque compared to Morelli.
Ok, maybe Jim Miller-esque. Maybe Jay Shroeder.

What a turn of events
PSU goes from a touchdown to 2nd and goal at the 1/2, to 2nd and goal at the 5 1/2, to 3nd and goal at the 8, to damn near giving up the ball in the end zone. Brutal gameplay so far.
wow
We had 6 guys blocking 5 and had no chance. That was the worst pass protection I've seen all year, and that's saying something.
again
I just played and replayed that 3rd down blitz 3 times. We had 6 blockers and all 5 Penn State guys beat their block. It was absolutely pathetic.
Pathetic.
Penn St 13 - Iowa 0, at the half
Mitch King has been phenomenal.
The young secondary has been lost.
The offense has in fact run the ball, thus saving the life of our young quarterback, but making it completely impossible for us to win this game.
A better performance than last week but the result is still a seemingly insurmountable halftime deficit.
What an incredibly bad offensive line
I realize the PSU defense is good, but the offensive line may as well not even be on the field. Christensen can't do a single thing when he's got a defender in his jersey after his third step back.
If that's really what's most important...
Why are Meade and Vandervelde starting in front of guys who have been in the program for at least a year longer, like Doering and Kuempel?
Iowa looks like they've given up
They're not even wrapping up on defense anymore. And the way this offense is playing, it'd be over if it were 6-0.
Nobody's going to blame you if you turn the game off and start hitting the whiskey.
Not game experience..
But certainly weight room and practice experience.
There's no possible way they're worse than the freshmen starting at guard right now. They can't be.
If they went on the road to Syracuse next week
They'd be underdogs, or at least I'd take Syracuse and the points. This is brutal.
2 first downs in 3 quarters.
