Caitlin Clark not reacting to Angel Reese there at the end is probably the play of the day. Caitlin has made some pretty incredible plays throughout this run, but that one right there is probably the most special.
That says a lot about her — and a lot about Reese, too.
#Hawkeyes
A lot of misinformation out there, here we go:
1. Cooper DeJean did not call for a fair catch.
2. A fair catch signal has to be over the head.
3. It was not called on the field.
4. It is not reviewable.
5. Iowa was robbed.
6. Iowa can be bad on offense and still robbed.
#Hawkeyes
This is the last I’ll tweet about it, because the 24-hour rule that Iowa observes is a beautiful thing. Win or lose, flush it, move on.
But Cooper DeJean is pointing with both hands, as told/coached to do. Robbed of an all-time Iowa moment and I hate it for him most.
#Hawkeyes
They did it for Brian Ferentz.
A lot of folks have no clue and a lot of folks will deny it, but they’d be wrong… they did.
And you know what… good for them.
#Hawkeyes
This is unbelievable.
Do you realize how hard it is to have stuff done like this for you when you’re still alive and breathing, let alone still playing?
🐐
For what my two cents are worth…
I don’t mind that Caitlin Clark is fiery and loud, talks trash and barks at officials, and plays with her heart on her sleeve.
I like men to play with emotion, so why can’t women?
Always weird when men try to tell women what to do.🥴
#Hawkeyes
Kirk Ferentz has now PRODUCED a total of 12 first-round NFL Draft selections at Iowa.
Not a single one was a 5-star recruit.
Simply sensational.
#Hawkeyes
Xavier Nwankpa told reporters that the atmosphere at Kinnick Stadium during the Iowa/PennSt game earlier this year was when he felt his commitment flip internally from Ohio State to Iowa.
Don’t tell me Kinnick’s powers aren’t real.
#Hawkeyes
I don’t know what you believe, but I know what I believe:
And I believe there’s a square-jawed, ornery Texan up in heaven that’s really proud of this Iowa football team tonight.
#Hawkeyes
The result today was meaningless. Iowa won long before today — this was just for a trophy. What this program and its players — especially its star player Caitlin Clark — have done for women’s basketball and little girls dreaming big everywhere, the result is irrelevant.
#Hawkeyes
The Solon Beef Days has produced more NFL first-round draft picks in the last two years (2) than Iowa State has in its entire history as a program (1).
#HawkeyeState
From the FREAKIN’ AWESOME Department:
Former Iowa football student manager and current USMC fighter pilot Chris Vande Weerd will be leading a flyover of Sikorsky CH-53 combat helicopters ahead of kickoff on Saturday afternoon at Kinnick.
#Hawkeyes
I just want to put this out there before she becomes the talk of the sports world tonight..
I am so happy Caitlin Clark is a Hawk. She's been the perfect representative of the state, the university, the sport and girls/women everywhere.
Go get it, 22. You deserve it.
#Hawkeyes
Heart of the huddle after delivering a fist bump to Padilla for that pinpoint throw, after giving Padilla some sort of tip that was acknowledged with a nod, and after hyping up Schott for a great block.
This is a good teammate.
Responding to adversity the right way.
#Hawkeyes
Might have all-time press conference coming from Kirk Ferentz.
Here’s how it started…
If the Big Ten fines him for whatever he’s about to say, I’ll start a fundraising effort to match every dollar and send it to the Univ of Iowa Children’s Hospital, too.
#Hawkeyes
Lost in the Caitlin Clark Show and South Carolina’s forest of a frontcourt is Lisa Bluder absolutely coaching Dawn Staley right into the ground. What a game plan.
#Hawkeyes
Seven years ago tonight, C.J. Beathard hit Tevaun Smith and sent Lucas Oil Stadium into pure pandemonium. It was so much pandemonium, in fact, they actually stopped the game right then and there, declaring Iowa as winner. Nothing else happened after this. Just trust me.
#Hawkeyes
Brilliant move by Lisa Bluder to have Iowa play terribly in Bloomington and leave a terrible taste in Caitlin Clark’s mouth when she thinks about Indiana, thus making her NOT want to be picked
#1
by the Indiana Fever and stay at Iowa another year.
Chess not checkers.
#Hawkeyes
Iowa beat Iowa State, who beat Kansas State, who beat LSU, who beat Texas A&M, who beat Alabama, who already beat Georgia…
Therefore, Iowa is the national champion.
Let’s celebrate! In Heaven there is no beer.
#Hawkeyes
Honestly, what a rivalry move by Kirk Ferentz making Iowa State watch the film from that game against South Dakota State over and over in preparation to face Iowa. That can’t be a whole lot of fun. He continues to own Matt Campbell so hard. KF plays chess, not checkers.
#Hawkeyes
Walking in downtown Indianapolis. Group of Michigan fans, maybe 8-12, walking in front of me.
I overhear “And then I saw this thing on Twitter last night, like a video game simulation, and it had Iowa winning 18-10… can you believe that sh*t?”
Should I tell them?
#IowaSim21
Also, it’s only fitting Caitlin Clark was on the court alone when she broke the NCAA Division I all-time scoring record. It’s her court, her game, her world … we’re simply just living in it.
#Hawkeyes
In the seven minutes that it took law enforcement to respond, I’m sure teachers and school faculty were forced to turn into heroes.
And I’m kind of sick of hearing about teachers having to become life-saving heroes.
This must end and it must sooner than later.
Iowa gets these guys back, goes 11-1 with all its trophies, wins the Big Ten, beats USC in Pasadena, KF retires atop the mountain and a statue of him waving at the children’s hospital on the corner of Melrose & Hawkins goes up this time next year. And so it shall be…
#Hawkeyes
All I truly want for Christmas is this horrible, awful and disgraceful interpretation of a never-heard-of rule, called by someone not during live action nor on the field, to be made right. That’s all.
Make it happen,

Good evening and welcome to this week’s impromptu

YOU BRING ESPN INTO YOUR HOUSE.
SELL IT OUT.
GET PEOPLE EXCITED.
BUT THE HAWKS WILL STILL COME AND COLLECT THAT RENT!
WRESTLING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD IS AND FOREVER WILL BE A HAWKEYE STATE!
#Hawkeyes
Good morning to everyone except the on-field officiating crew and the replay official in the booth from yesterday’s Iowa game.
I hope your next steak is undercooked, a pen explodes on your dress shirt and you have car trouble in the not-too-distant future.
You suck.
#Hawkeyes
The highlights are awesome.
The points are awesome.
The records are awesome.
But this… *THIS* is what it’s all about.
Go
@CaitlinClark22
! Go Hawks!
#Hawkeyes
Iowa fans outnumbering Mississippi State by at least 4-to-1. No joke. It’s a complete swarm of Tampa. May as well tab this place “Kinnick South” from now on.
#Hawkeyes
My two cents on
@CarsonKing2
, for whatever they’re worth (surely not two pennies):
I don’t care what he immaturely tweeted at 16.
I care what he’s maturely doing at 24.
(THREAD) Good evening and welcome to
#IowaSim23
, the unofficially official Iowa football video game simulation, featuring the (virtual)
#Hawkeyes
and Rutgers. Going to get this underway in about a half-hour or so.
Hope you guys are excited to see it again.
Yeah Friday is exciting, but is it Nico Ragaini running a double-move corner route that Spencer Petras drops a pass so perfectly into on the most unexpected play call ever to give Iowa the lead over Penn State and send Kinnick Stadium into a roar exciting? Probs not.
#Hawkeyes
For absolutely no reason, I decided to watch the 2019 Outback Bowl over again — you know, the one game nobody gave Iowa a chance in — so, here, enjoy.
#Hawkeyes
Watching Tyrone Tracy Jr. celebrate with Nico Ragaini after the latter's TD vs. PSU (as if he scored himself) says all you need to know about Tracy. Was he frustrated? Sure. And I've always been in the camp of "someone wants to go, let them go," but I wish him the best.
#Hawkeyes
Please support certified and licensed athletic trainers and advocate for having them on-site at your youth sporting events, high schools and colleges, and wherever else applicable.
Kirk Ferentz said postgame on Iowa radio that the fourth-down call late was Stanley's option. If he saw the matchup he liked, he had the green light to throw it. If it wasn't there, he had the green light to pooch punt it. I tell ya what, folks, QB4 has some stones.
#Hawkeyes
I don’t think we realize how fortunate we are to go from the best player in the country (Luka Garza) to the best player in the country (Keegan Murray).
#Hawkeyes
Four years ago tonight. Take it in and enjoy it, and just wash away everything that happened after it. It’s been long enough now. You can do it. I believe in you.
#Hawkeyes
Jordan Bohannon just took off his game shoes, signed them, and then left them on the court at Hilton Coliseum.
That’s it. Jordan Bohannon is now the owner-operator of the building. That’s it. Them’s the rules.
#HawkeyeState
Juwan Howard gets suspended five games for striking an opposing coach.
If Fran McCaffery struck an opposing coach, he’d get five years in the Iowa State Penitentiary.
