I thought I would step in real quick and make all your pain go away. If only briefly.

I'm not handing out oxycontin just yet, but I do come bearing gifts. I have elegantly pieced together a video entitled "Iowa Hawkeye Football 2009 - The Year in Photos." Yeah I know, I'm like a goddam wizard.

So leave your inhibitions at the door, curl up on your couch with a snuggie and an oversized mug of hot chocolate and enjoy.

In four minutes and ten seconds you won't even fucking remember who Todd Lickliter is.

And now, back to the bloodshed.

Thank you, sir. That was awesome.

Wow.

The kick vs. Penn State. How the Outback Bowl was more of just a wind-down party to celebrate how good we had become rather than a real game. You captured it well. Nice work.

Haven't forgotten about the Outback.....

I’ve got something in the works

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Between football and wrestling, who needs basketball anyway?

That was some quailty work

looking at phots of Murrays kick against the Nits, it’s a wonder that it ever got through.

Well done.

When is the Spring Game?

In honor of it, I might make a fanshot of Top 10 Scothawk videos

Never

new field won’t be in until July.

I think there is something

but it’s in the bubble and it’s only open to the media and people who get special invites.

As far as I know the open practice/scrimmage in August for Kids’ Day is still on, though.

That was pretty awesome.

I love the shot at 0:41 where it looks like the entire Cyclone team is trying to tackle Shonn.

Wisconsin and Minnesota games

those games were so fun to watch…just ass poundings we havent seen in 5 years against supposedly good teams. Penn State was great, but nerve-wracking. The bowl game dominance was expected. The UW and UM games were good ole fashioned Hayden style rivalry games. Hope we can keep it going.

Actually, one thing KF has been able to do is pound the LOLphers

While almost every ISU game has been ugly as sin and the Wisco games have tended to be nail-biters, there have been quite a few blowout wins over the LOLphers since the breakthrough year in ’01. The exceptions were the Imploding Iowa team of 2006, the Fucktarded Iowa Offense of 2007, and the nerve-wracking “please hang on” win in 2004. Otherwise, you have four outright beatings – the All Your Goalposts Are Belong to Us classic in 2002, the Bob Sanders Game in 2003 (Senior Day and he had over a dozen tackles and three forced fumbles, as I recall), the Eddie Hink Game in 2005 (4 TDs for Eddie), and of course the glorious Beatdown of all Beatdowns in 2008.

Yeah, it’s “only” four blowouts in eight years (with two close wins and two rage-inducing losses), but hanging four blowouts on a major rival in eight years is pretty damn sweet. And it’s a lot more success than he’s had against the other two main rivals, Iowa State (1 – 2003) and Wisconsin (2 – 2002, 2008), in that time frame.

2004 Wisconsin

also a beatdown…and a sweet, sweet one at that.

by Anonymous Hero on Mar 31, 2009 8:16 PM CDT up reply actions

Jesus, I can't believe I forgot about that game.

That game was the one and only time I stormed the field after the game. Beating the shit out of the Badgers AND clinching a share of the B10 title (thanks, Tressel!) made for one incredible afternoon/evening.

Probably the most magical night ever

by Duez I say on Apr 1, 2009 11:32 AM CDT up reply actions

Considering that circumstances...

I would rank the 2005 win over Wisconsin over the 2004 win. Senior day at Camp Randall, Barry’s last home game. Iowa had just come off the loss at jNU. Nobody gave Iowa a chance to win that game, and they dominated Wisconsin in the 2nd half.

It was Mitch Kings coming out party, Tom Busch caught a touchdown…it was classic.

by TarHeelHawk on Mar 31, 2009 10:11 PM CDT reply actions

No way

Besides, 2003 Wisconsin trumps all

by Duez I say on Apr 1, 2009 11:33 AM CDT up reply actions

The 03 encounter was the best game, in terms of down-to-the-wire excitement and drama

I still have the fondest memories of the 04 game, though. But, like I said, that’s definitely influenced by the fact I was at that game and almost got trampled on the field afterwards. For a while I had a pic of the trophy presentation in my cellphone.

by RossWB on Apr 1, 2009 12:05 PM CDT up reply actions

That was a hell of a game...

I seem to remember Chandler throwing a couple of picks in the 1st half. The last 2 minutes of that game were gut-wrenching.

by TarHeelHawk on Apr 1, 2009 3:30 PM CDT up reply actions

Speaking of Wisconsin...

A lot of my top 10 Scothawk videos will be Wisconsin games.

Great video.

Thanks for helping me drown out the fact that Iowa basketball has imploded…makes me pretty damned fired up for next season too!

Greene's speed

All the draft guys seem to think that Greene is “slow”. I am trying to understand how a guy who outruns 175 lb corners in the open field is “slow”. I guess he looks slow when he is standing in his underwear on a stage at the combine. Perhaps they should not call this a question about his “speed” but rather issue a demerit for the “underwear test”.

by Bellanca on Apr 1, 2009 7:48 AM CDT reply actions

The speed thing is probably only because he went to a B10 school

Had everything been exactly the same – same yards gained, TDs, 100yd games, etc – only he went to an SEC school instead of lil’ ol’ Iowa, the talking heads would all be remarking how deceptively fast he is.

by Bucketochicken on Apr 1, 2009 8:48 AM CDT up reply actions

He outran Knowshon

And nobody was ever knocking Knowshon for being some slow fatass.

by Bucketochicken on Apr 1, 2009 12:00 PM CDT up reply actions

well

Knowshon just barely edged Greene out on the same track at the combine 4.60 to 4.63

on different tracks at their Pro Days Greene beat him 4.55 to 4.62
