It's Game Time! First-half thread for NU-Iowa

[lou v]

I'm on the couch today, not at Kinnick. Still no inactives list from NU, but Greg Newsome is dressed and participating in warmups, per Inside NU Twitter. It's a windy day in Iowa City.

Based on what we saw from Maryland last night, I'm feeling pretty optimistic today. Let's get it on.

No one unexpected on the Inactives.

 

[FeralFelidae]

As expected, Iowa's defense is better than Maryland's.

 

[Figrating]

The announcer called McGowan sure-handed.

 

[jensberg]

Huge early turnover

 

[BigNUFan51]

That’s a killer likely spotted them a TD

 

[DaCat]

Why wasn't Lees the punt returner?

 

[FanatiCat]

Argh. Should have told him not to handle the punt, with all that wind it was bound to sail on him. We’re going to have a hole to dig out of on this one.

 

[GECat2]

F%^K!!!!!

 

[DrillCat]

Why Fitz why!

 

[phatcat]

Well coached!
No mistakes!

 

[scru]

Never try to field a punt inside your 15. Dumb. Deserve that one. Let's see how this year's team handles adversity.

 

[jensberg]

Newsome NOT playing. TD IOWA

 

[cattul]

Are recorded Iowa fans more annoying than actual Iowa fans?

Edit: I think it is the stadium echo making the background sound so awful.

 

[EvanstonCat]

GO CATS

 

[Akeehn0912]

Hold on to the ball...

 

[bjm989]

Oh my Cats. Take care of the ball.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Well, time for the D to step up.

 

[Figrating]

Our best players are killing us.

Never heard that rule.

 

[BigNUFan51]

This game is shot

 

[jensberg]

This could get ugly

 

[EvanstonCat]

We need some stick um

 

[GECat2]

disaster.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Blown call by the refs.

 

[bjm989]

Bad bad bad bad bad.

 

[Figrating]

Stinking up the field...

 

[corbi296]

Oh wow. You guys are comical. What a roller coaster ride some of you guys go on watching NU football.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Yeesh. Can we start over?

 

[BigNUFan51]

We might lose 40-3 at this rate.

 

[BFDCat]

I feel sick.

 

[Alvious]

I'm not gonna lie, I've seen us start games better. Lotsa time left, though.

 

[kaTNap]

Wow, this is a disaster. Guess I'll have some extra time to get stuff done today.

 

[Hungry Jack]

This game is shot

See you later!

 

[cattul]

Reset. Score on the next possession. Back to a 7 point game. (fingers crossed)

 

[FeralFelidae]

This game is shot

Way too early.

 

[olshin]

Gifting 2 TDs in 5 minutes. That's the offense we've come to love.

 

[BigNUFan51]

The defense is really bad too.

 

[DaCat]

We got Iowa right where we want them. We got spoiled last week, it's now going to have to be the usual Cardiac Cat game.

 

[jensberg]

Still time to recover but this could be a blow out if we don't start playing football
