11 Total yards for Iowa in the 2nd Quarter.

9 Total yards for Iowa in the 3rd Quarter.

2 -- who do we have to screw to finally get a safety called for the Gophers? We won all three games it's happened in. While I understand why we didn't review the play, and it's obvious the Hawkeyes knew it was a safety given how quickly they got that punt off, but that was a brutally obvious call the zebras missed. Kudos to the staff for letting it go.

At work in Iowa today, and enjoying all of the Hawkeye fans avoiding me.
 

Hundreds. The number of Iowa fans that started leaving in the second quarter. I personally serenaded those in 240 that took off with minutes to go in the half with "Remember, the 'I' in Iowa stands for I-35! Be on it!"

I figured it was a mercy no call by the pinstripes

I'm not sure what would have happened if they had reviewed it. Clearly the QB's knee was down, so that should have overturned the incomplete pass call. The question is once they've made that call do they conclusively have to prove the ball was not out of the endzone or do they do their best job to spot the ball? If the latter, it easily could have been a safety, but I'm thinking it's the former and based off the replays I think it would have been spotted just in front of the goal line.

And yes, only a true d-bag of a coach would call a review in a game that is that far out of hand... (looking your way, Kirky)
 

48 Total yards - excluding the 1st Iowa drive and the garbage time Iowa drive.

Was it the 2010 game where he called a timeout with the waning seconds ticking off the clock as our team was headed to retrieve the Pig, just to be a jerk (I presume)? Or am I crazy? He gets a lot of praise for being a class-act coach, and for the most part seems like it. But I've seen him pull a few things like that over the years...
 

51 consecutive Gopher points still amazes me. 51!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Gophers!!

Conference game, probably. I remember we beat a team 60ish - 0 several years back.

EDIT: Temple, 62-0 in 2006

I was wondering about this, and when he challenged, I remembered that same timeout from earlier. It sure seems like he is just trying to be a brat, but I wonder if its possible that rather than trying to annoy us, but rather punish/instill something in his players, kind of a "you guys dug this hole, now you need to play it out and stand out here with the blowout score still showing" mentality.
 

The 51 points was a conference game record for TCF Bank Stadium, and tied the stadium record that we put up against UNLV in the season opener last year.
