Misery Index · Meh · ▼ from 83
A 30-0 shutout of Wisconsin, and the room still found time to litigate an offsides flag and a punt at the 1.
The emotional rollercoaster
Iowa fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Iowa blanked Wisconsin 30-0 to reach 6-2, and the fanbase responded by locating every flaw it could find. The turning point came when a goal line stand was nearly squandered on "a terrible, blatant offsides penalty," yet the zero survived anyway. Some called starting Hecklinski "an extremely non-Kirk like decision"; others mockingly hoped Wisconsin would extend Fickell "10 more years." Misery dropped from 83 to 49, proof that even a shutout in Iowa City arrives with a complaint attached.
What fans said
“Unless we're going against Minnesota, apparently.”
