Iowa 37, Michigan State 6: The Game in Pictures
So, yeah. Rushed the field. Touched Stanzi. Touched Clayborn. I'm pretty sure I can now die a happy man.

Without further ado, then:
Welcome back, Norm.
And Go Hawks.

This was the first thing that leapt into my head when I saw the Dantonio pic.
But sterling work as usual.

LOL. Awesome. The MSU QB was lucky he wasn’t another step back or the best thing that would’ve happened when he went down was giving Iowa a safety.
Guess what?! I got a fever, and the only prescription...is more cowbell!!
I have a feeling we'll be hearing a lot from Bigach
And how do we find these names? I mean…how perfect is that? Steve Bigach!!!

It's great payback for the lateral they pulled on us last year
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

Good call, I hadn't made the connection.
Maybe it was planned by TMFS? It’s not like the lateral to Hyde was the obvious play to make there. Micah didn’t look initially to be in any better position than Tyler, as his long and crazy journey to the pylon later showed.

Didn't Kirk say something about that in the postgame?
Like how it was payback for the lateral they pulled against us last year?
I think I remember that, because anytime Kirk says “payback” or shows any other sign of vengence it is worth making a mental note…

It seemed like he said that tongue-in-cheek.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Yes
And all of the MSU fans wincing in pain with the one Iowa fan in the middle of them raising her arms in triumph. Great picture.
I think
On the MF’ing Sash pic #3 is saying adjust your sword, and Hyde is saying it’s right here… Okay well good then :P
I left before the end of the game
Did we really storm the field? Was that necessary?
It's not that I'm lazy, Bob, it's that I just don't care
I get fed up with the "it's not necessary" crowd
Big win. Students want to rush? Go right the fuck ahead. Irrational exuberance. I love it.
I spent half my life's earnings on wine, women & song. The other half I wasted.

I'm surprised the students don't rush the field despite the outcome.
Why not save rushing the field for a Big Ten Championship victory or something major rather than when we beat anyone at home. Sure MSU was ranked #5, but don’t we believe we are better than they are (and not just on that day)? If we do, why rush the field?
It's not that I'm lazy, Bob, it's that I just don't care
Winning the Big Ten Championship
calls for something far more dramatic than just rushing the field…like say…taking down Minnesota’s goalposts. That seems appropriate.
They would be able to get them out of the building now.
Not sayin, just sayin.

Somebody who left early complaining about excessive enthusiasm?
You serious, Clark?
by Norm Parker's Amputated Toes on Nov 1, 2010 7:58 PM CDT up reply actions
This.
The funny thing was that there was a long pause before the rush. It was like everyone was mulling it over first, and the the student levie broke (it was basically just the student section- – which is fine, because those are the players’ peers- – it wasn’t Michigan ’85 rushing the field).
On the one hand, teams like OSU and USC don’t rush the field after beating a #5 team (they act like they’ve been there before… because they have), but I see no fault in it. The Iowa program is different than most, and I think it’s cool that there can be such a connection between the community and the team.

First time I've ever left a game early actually
Thought it would be wise since it was a blowout to actually get home and take the kid trick or treating.
It's not that I'm lazy, Bob, it's that I just don't care
Because it's fun
Who cares if it happens a little too often. It doesn’t hurt anything and for what it costs to get into a game, get the most out of it.

I love the Norm pic

new math
THANK YOU! jeeze, I was getting berated by my section about how maybe there’s a connection between 32 and 23. (and maybe even 3 if Wegher were still around) SO take that Sally Mason!
and that's another Hawkeye first down... EHAWW!!
32 ≠ 23 imho.
But ARob deserves all the props he gets this season. (I think ARitt at the WWL is about to start a fan club for him.) He’s given us everything we could possibly ask of him and more, AIRBHG be damned.

While 32 isn't a Doak Walker candidate like 23, he is much better catching the ball
Because as great as Greene was, he was not good in the receiving game. It’s still somewhat of a weakness in his game. No way he runs the route and pulls in that long pass from Stanzi like 32 did on Saturday.
And he is running downhill, hard, like Greene did.
I think Robinson's touchdown got us to 23 points.
I’m guessing that’s the meaning of that one.

Welcome to the party. Did you bring your own calculator? It helps with the guessing.

That the “Sparty, NO!” meme didn’t get involved.

To be fair...
You would have to come up with a picture of Sparty slowly being fed into a meat grinder, or tied down on the feed belt heading for the gigantic saw blade, to do justice to this.

Maybe a pic of Cousins tossing his 3rd INT would qualify?

To me "Sparty, NO!" doesn't apply to this game
I always think of it as Sparty blowing a game late or somehow snatching defeat from the jaws of victory; the epic collapse against ND awhile back, 7 got 6, Forcier’s comeback in ’09 (although they did win), if the fake FG against ND had failed this year, etc.
Getting curbstomped for an entire game just doesn’t seem to fit IMO.
