I’m sickened by what I witnessed tonight
- Thread starter Zenophile
- Start date
I don’t know if this happened, but pretty much everybody who watched the game on national TV saw Iowa fans booing injured players.
This is who your fans are.
Own it.
Yea if we sat in the west and you in the east we would have many more appearances and , well you would have none.
Hawkeyes applaud when the plane lands. Hawkeyes use lard in bed. Hawkeyes re heat fish in the microwave at work. Hawkeyes wear sandals and socks. Etc.
It's true. Iowa is well known for booing injured players every week. It's a tradition that goes way back. Hawkeye fans relish in the pain and suffering of students. Obviously.
Or, this is not something that regularly happens with Iowa fans so there must be something more to it? Something that was so obvious that media all over saw it and commented on it? Idk. Maybe you all should go talk to Tulsa and commiserate.
So if this was a plan, how come we’ve never used it before, including against a very high powered offense like Ohio State? Some poster on here said Iowa fans were sensitive to it because Dantonio did it all the time….does that mean everyone does it? Are the fans smart enough to figure out that just because one coach did it years ago doesn’t mean every coach does it? Is it a) Iowa fans are seeing something that’s not there because it’s happened to them before or b) teams that don’t do it against anyone else only do it against Iowa? Geez, I wonder which one it is.
It’s not sore losing, just no respect. We can handle the L, it sucks to lose, but we can handle that. But booing injured players, the F Penn State chant…come on. Respect…Doesn’t seem Iowa has much of it and it’ll bite you in the ass.
And don’t give me, “we wave to the kids in the Childrens Hospital” and how wonderful you are, the Penn State players and fans were too. You SHOULD be waving to those kids! I bet they love the boos towards hurt players/young men/kids.
Old man, I am a girl. My comment was mainly about the childish, immature, disgusting pedo comments. WTF is wrong with people?
Iowa is Iowa. Booing injured players. (Pretty much wrong no matter what but maybe if they were running no huddle it would make some sense.) Rushing the field in a game they were favored to win. I guess they were excited to win by the hook or they love being bowl eligible.
Only Iowa fans would linger on an opponents board after such a lousy win. Please don’t indulge them and report to mods as necessary. Moving on.
Well that’s a low bar. So you just randomly decide which players aren’t really hurt….got it. Do you randomly decide which kids you wave at?
Still worthwhile to report. Will get the stink of their corn mash hangover out of here sooner.
No, just glad I reside in the Northeast as opposed to a parochial, narrow minded, classless state such as Iowa. One more time: YOU ARE TRASH. Never forget it.
And to complete the ruse, we took our starting quarterback and best run stopper out for the rest of the game. Riiiiiight…. Oh, and ruse means an action intended to deceive someone. Didn’t want you to have to Google it.
Maybe it should never be used
But Franklin has a track record of doing it
WHO wouldn’t boo a fake injury ??
Seeemss like a lot of 5 star prima donnas
Pro-tip - Find some diversity; your stadium looked like a Klan rally but with Steelers fans.
Period goes inside the quote. As a literate Iowan, you should know that

So you post a Twitter clip that actually does not show what happened to Ebeketie as he trailed the play and was not in the frame. Solid evidence.

I have never heard our students doing that and it was from the start of the game onwards - classless scum fans — but they get a pass because they waive to sick kids but boo injured football players.
Keep thinking child sexual assault is funny. On brand for Iowa. Clown.
And when does Franklin have his players fake an injury?
no one said 100% of the PSU injuries were fake
The fans were booing not cheering the injuries.
Why shouldn’t fans boo fake injuries ?Moron
As has been explained but you folks but you're too obtuse to understand, it's pointless to try to slow down an offense which isn't running up tempo. And no, Iowa wasn't given the actions of the RB following the play in the clip. Instead of giving the ball to the ref and running back to the formation, he jumped around and celebrated - obviously in no hurry to get to the next play.
And the Iowa coach mocking the injury of an opposing player? That coach is a dick. But hey, it's Iowa.
And even at that, the wave isn't really about the sick kids. It's a way for them to congratulate themselves for being so awesome because they wave to people. After they wave, there are one of two things the Iowa folks could think.....
- I feel good about myself because I wave to kids in a hospital
- I hope my waving brought some happiness to those kids over there
They go hurry up after big plays occasionally. Penn State coaching staff knows this.
Your absolutely right that's how life works and you guys won. I really don't think there is not anyone that can't accept that. Where there seems be an issue is when you still buy into this mirage that Iowa is an elite football team with an elite defense. Sorry to.say but your not. I don't think Penn State is either but our defense is better then yours. I also know enough about football to realize that if Clifford did not get hurt none of you would be in this board talking the shit you are. Most people who know a lot about the game and played the game realize and accept the reality of who their team is and if they get lucky they admit that too. PSU was lucky to get out of Madison with a win but they did and that's all that matters. Iowa was lucky to get the win tonight but they did and that's all that matters.
But not on that play. The RB was in absolutely no hurry to return to the formation. The play and video are what they are. But go ahead and keep trying to make it something it isn't. And Ebiketie sat out the next several plays. Genius strategy to fake an injury of your best DE and make him sit for awhile. Genius!!!
Damn, it's the day after and you are still spending your time trolling on a different team's board? Be classy and act like you've won a big game before, even if you haven't.
These idiots don’t understand football IQ. They have such a bad football tradition, they had to copy the look of a great NFL winner back in the day hoping it would carry over to their own team.
