Stanford beat Iowa 38-9 (Alright fine, there's still five minutes left). @fauxpelini does not like Iowa*:


Iowa is going to dominate in kickoff return yardage

. STOP IT THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD

Remember Iowa gets the ball first in the second half

Iowa's marching band just gave up 3 first downs

*UPDATE: Down, 38-16 with 2:46 to play, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz called for an on-side kick...? Guess he wanted to show Stanford that he wasn't giving up, that they could too score 22 straight points in 2:46. So Stanford didn't give up. After recovering the on-side kick they threw a 42-yard pass for another touchdown to make it 45-16. Stupid call, stupid.

UPDATED UPDATE: So then Stanford kicks off, no on-side, and Ferentz leaves his starters in to still try to win the game. Right? You'd expect him to do that by now. They drive all the way down to the Stanford 20 and take a timeout with 16 seconds left. Then their quarterback fumbles the ball and Stanford recovers with 11 seconds left and runs out the clock. Somebody take Kirk Ferentz for a CT-scan.
