PrintIs it time for some YouTube videos spotlighting past Iowa-Michigan State games? You're damn right it's time for that. So without further ado...
From our old friend The Hawkeye Historian:
1985
- It's certainly not just an ABC/ESPN thing: CBS loves the random combine/cornfield shot, too.
- Seeing Hayden with dark hair is almost as weird as Ferentz with dark hair.
- That CBS Sports opening graphic was boss and I don't care what you say.
- Chuck Long: so damn good.
- (2:31) Those male cheerleader shorts are a little too snug.
- Neckrolls and tearaway jerseys... those were the days.
- (4:09) Well, Lorenzo White had himself quite a game.
- Pretty sure Ricky Stanzi would have loved throwing the ball to Mike Flagg.
- NAKED EFFING BOOTLEG! Sadly, holding the ball out like that might (probably?) have been a penalty now.
From our new friend HawkeyeFan123:
2004
- Tom Busch touchdown?!
- Drew Tate doing all kinds of Drew Tate things: scrambling around in the pocket, finding receivers open downfield, throwing some pin-point passes. I loved watching him so damn much.
- (3:20) Probably the last good Jermelle Lewis highlight in an Iowa uniform. Sigh.
- Ah, the 2004 defense... yeah, they weren't too shabby. I miss having a defensive line that could rush the passer like that. Or actually tackle.
And just in case you want some recent history
2009 (via Hawkeyeshawn1234)
2010 (via ManBearPigJake)
And if you just want the good stuff from 2009:
I love Dolph and Eddie, but "TOUCHDOWN! TOUCHDOWN IOWA" doesn't compare to "SEVEN GOT SIX!"
Sad Sparty fan will never, ever get old, though.

Tailgate 48

nice to see IC again
at least on the tube
Long Live the Pellican Whore - like FOREVER
they had a shot of student lounge
asked three of them football questions
started the show actually

holy shit Tailgate 48 Guy is annoying
Girl is cute though
She got bowled over by a coach during the swarm after halftime
She has a very foul mouth when she’s angry
Against the fucking punter on LSU
Threw his arms out and looked back at the defense as he ran in on a fake and they called it back. Just the dumbest rule.
It should be enforced against punters
No one else though.
"You start to get out of bed, you say, 'Oh, [expletive], I only got one leg on, I better get the other leg on.'" -- Norm Parker
If I were a punter and about to score a TD I would unleash the most epic TD dance ever seen
Deion Sanders would not have shit on me. He’s a punter! When is he ever going to have a chance to score again? Of course he’s excited!
Besides if you let the goddamn punter run for a TD you deserve to have your nose rubbed in it.
I forgot awesome
The CBS intro was back in the day. Of course I was only seven, so I was pretty easily impressed.

I think I say this every time but Chuck Long's footwork would seriously give me an anyurism if he played today
Just all sorts of wacky throws off his back foot. Dude could definitely sling it though.
And Hayden was just ballsy as hell. My dad can’t stand Ferentz because when he was at Iowa when the Hayden era really took off. Every time we sit on the ball in a tie game or don’t go for a close 4th down he dies a little inside.
Definitely a penalty on Long with the ball raise.
Also, could someone explain the tearaway jerseys to me? Like…why were they used?
"...take it to Hamsterdam."
I swear I remember some excuse like the non-tearaway jerseys were pulling guys backward and straining hamstrings (or some shit like that; blown knees?; something))
Seems like a way to sell a football team more jerseys per year.

Hip injuries?
Wasn’t a horsecollar/jersey grab how Bo had his career ended?

That failed 2 pt conversion game
was my first Iowa game. I was in that endzone; he made it.
Also, it was cold.

We were also in the endzone that game
with seats close to the ground and had a very good view of the play. He definitely made it across.
I’m still a little ticked about it, but it made the bootleg that next year even sweeter.

If I've heard correctly
Hayden had a framed picture of that 2-pt conversion in his office. If we get the right call there, the following week’s game at Minnesota would have been for the Rose Bowl.
…
And probably not as cold as the Danan Hughes snow angel game against the Gophers. There were multiple snowball fights in the student section. I had to dig a chunk of snow out of my ear. That was cold.

I remember that game
There were what, 30k people there? My brother took the season tickets, and my parents got me into the Press Box (because no one could get in from Des Moines). Man. When they got my brother (a hardy man) at halftime, he looked miserable.
And finally,
haha, fuck you, Mark Dantonio.

Speaking of it being weird to see Hayden with dark hair,
there were also a couple shots of Norm Parker on the MSU sideline, and then around the 7:30 mark you see Dan McCarney and Barry Alvarez on the Iowa sideline.
It’ll be fun watching Iowa beat MSU’s ass this weekend.
Watching the Cubs piss it away for 31 years.
I also believe that the announcer mentions Phil Parker was the defensive back who was unable to bring Flagg down before the goal line.

(4:50) our beloved Norm frantic on the MSU sidelines to call defense to no avail…sweet
God I remember this game so well
My parents had been at the IA-MSU game in 1984. I remember Dad coming back home and I said “Did we win?” He said, “Nope. They went for 2 points to get the win and it looked like he might have got it but they didn’t count it.” Then this game, I remember that keeper sooooo well, my dad went apeshit. “HE KEPT IT! HE KEPT IT! OH MY GOD, HE KEPT IT!” Swearing around the children was allowed for exactly 3 hours on Saturdays.
Dad taped all the games, and I remember that I hadn’t really followed what happened, after the game was over we rewound the tape and watched it again. I’m pretty sure that box of Iowa game tapes is currently in a plastic tub in my parents’ basement up in Minneapolis now.
A man may leave Iowa, but Iowa never leaves a man.
Okay, who is going to volunteer to preserve that on a proper medium?
I’d do it, but my technology sucks. I still watch a VCR in my basement (yes, they still exist, go to a thrift store).

What if we somehow win the division and face Penn St for the B10 CG?
I’m not sure if this has been addressed but that would be an insane first B10 Championship Game.

Thank you for posting the CBS highlights from 85. Good God – what a team. I had forgotten what exciting football looked like in black/gold. Thanks for reminding me.

I like the Ferentz v. Dantonio match-up
Dantonio is not as disciplined as Kirk and he really, in his heart of hearts, wants to play in the Ferentzian style. So, in other words, Dantonio is Kirk Ferentz Lite (with some gadget plays).
I think Dantonio will try to muscle us offensively, like Penn State did, to take pressure off of Cousins. In most cases that would be a very smart way to approach this game as we are thin on the D-line and not a particularly tough team up front. But, I don’t think Nebraska is very tough on the D-line without Crick and they shut these guys down.
Also, trying to wear a home team down can be dangerous because if they grind and end up with FGs instead of TDs, it keeps us in the game. Our offense at home can be explosive. So while I think MSU possesses more talent and should win this game most of the time, Dantonio evens the score for us.
I would like for us to FINALLY have a great special teams game from top to bottom. We are due. We’ve had some DJK kickoff returns, but otherwise we have not had much over the past couple of years. We need some punt & KO return magic and great coverage top to bottom and Meyer has to be tits. These guys are not great on special teams.

That 2004 game
Might be my favorite day at Kinnick. Freshman year, beautiful day, great seats in the old student section, and the Hawks laid a stomping on MSU (the last game had been the loss at Michigan and I’d been in the Big House for it, so that made it a little sweeter, too).
I think Jermelle Lewis’ injury is on that video, the pass caught around 2:20.
Why wasn’t Chuck Long a better NFL player? I’m too young to remember his pro career at all, dude could flat-out sling the ball.
by George Washington Eagleclaw on Nov 11, 2011 11:21 AM CST reply actions
Forgettable NFL career
He was a 1st round pick. But he was not a good NFL QB. Combine that with being on poor Lions teams. It was a short, disappointing pro career.
Wasn't exactly Chuck's fault..
A sieve would have been a better offensive line for Chuck Long in the NFL than the Detroit O-Line’s he played behind.

Long was plagued by two things
concussions (the Lions had an awful O-line) and a bad offensive scheme. Long needed to play for the Raiders or a team that played a vertical passing game. In the mid-1980s a good WR would catch 60 balls. Passing was connected to the run game. If a team had a good run game that allowed them to play action and throw more on first down. On the other hand, if a team had no run game then the defense would pin their ears back and just go after the QB. The Lions running backs in 1987 were a bunch of guys who within a year or two were out of the league and their best WR was Jeff Chadwick.
Basically, Chuck was beaten down and out of the league due to the bad luck of being drafted by the Lions. Having said that, he was spoiled at Iowa. He often had all day to throw. He was supported by several guys who had long and successful careers in the NFL (Ronnie Harmon, Marv Cook, Mike Haight, Bob Kratch) and he had one of the three or four best offensive coordinators in college football (Bill Snyder). The pros were a different story.

I think he kicked around for 8-9 years
Went to the rams after a while (he’s actually pretty good in Tecmo Super Bowl ;).
I forgot about Long playing for the Rams
Until I saw the Marcus Deupree 30 for 30 special on ESPN. Long was the QB for the Rams when Deupree finally found some level of achievment
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Does anyone know/remember
why some of the O-linemen had their names on the backs of their jerseys but others did not in the 1985 video (see the 4:30 mark)? I remember seeing that in other videos from teh time, but don’t know the reason.
