IOWA 86, WIU 69: Hawkeyes Muddle Through To Stay Undefeated
By JOHN BOHNENKAMP IOWA CITY, Iowa — That 7-0 record that Iowa’s women’s basketball team has is nice. That No. 11 national ranking is a gaudy number. But the Hawkeyes, dealing with injuries and try…

To say I'm overwhelmed by all the kindness shown me here and elsewhere in the last several days is the understatement of the millennium. Well, at least the month. It simply hasn't been possible to respond to everyone. I haven't even begun to start. But I shall once time allows. Thank you, all.

Why am I not surprised. (See posts from yesterday.)
Since 2015, Iowa has won nine games on a FG in the last 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, three more than any other FBS team over that time frame.

The #Hawkeyes pulled a rabbit out of a hat in the closing seconds to defeat Michigan State on Senior Day despite offensive ineptness and poor QB play.

Yesterday's dismal offensive display did nothing to improve the #Hawkeyes FBS Statistical Rankings - most categories took a bit of a hit. Defense pretty much held its own.

The #Hawkeyes were a whisker away from going into Lincoln 6-5. Now the last second heroics = Iowa improving to 7-4, 5-3. Sparty remains winless in the #B1G (3-8, 0-8). Worth repeating, offense & MG were just bad today - Gronowski has struggled all season with his passing accuracy & on display today.
FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD
Iowa 20 - Michigan State 17
A seemingly improbable last second win for the #Hawkeyes as the offense and Gronowski struggled all game, finally scoring their 1st TD with 1:29 left. Other TD was KJ's 62 YD PR. Stevens 44 YD FG as time expired clinched UI's 7th win.

I'm not saying Kirk should be fired. But I am saying he is what he is and the #Hawkeyes reflect that most years. Iowa has stopped beating ranked teams. And if this is a loss it will be a horrible one.
Ferentz deserves to go out on his own terms. I just hope he recognizes when that time comes.

For those mad at Kirk and want to move on.
Consider Purdue after Joe Tiller left. Purdue made 10 bowls and 5 Top 25 finishes in 12 seasons under Tiller.
In the 15 years since he retired, Purdue has 4 season with a winning record and no Top 25 finishes.

3Q End: Michigan State 17 - Iowa 7
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for the #Hawkeyes it got a lot worse this Qtr. UI's offense continues to look like it's commanded by Major Suckage (on leave from the National Guard). But I digress...
This lead feels almost insurmountable for UI.

Sparty was 0-7 in #B1G play coming into this game. And now the #Hawkeyes trail 10-7 3Q 8:58.
Gronowski has picked a terrible time to have his worst game at Iowa - and this is definitely his worst at UI. Embarrassingly bad, frankly. This would be a horrible loss for Iowa.

2Q End: Iowa 7 - Michigan State 3
If you tuned in to watch some offense, it's probably past time to switch channels. The #Hawkeyes have been almost
inexplicably bad on offense today - Gronowski was 0-4 passing in the 1Q, but improved 5-6 in the 2Q. Except for special teams this is a snoozer.

An awful, terrible, no good quarter for the #Hawkeyes Offense in general and QB Mark Gronowski in particular. Certainly not what UI's 27 seniors were hoping for so far. Wetjen's record-breaking 62 YD punt return is the difference.

WTF! Mike is one of the best writers (and sports writers) in the Midwest (not just in Iowa). If this is where the new "family owners" of The Gazette are heading, I can assure you they will be losing one subscriber for certain (& I would encourage others to think about what they want to support too).

Depends on whether he wants to know what's actually going on - or Dolph's often incorrect descriptions.
I wonder if @tikkikki.bsky.social is going to watch the Iowa basketball game or listen to Dolph.
