Hawkeye fans are once again agonizing over eyesore offensive display vs. Minnesota

I can’t watch this team anymore.

Win or lose, it’s a horrible time watching Iowa football and you know it.

Don’t try and lie and say, “Yeah, I love being the running joke of the NCAA.” You’re either lying or need help.

This offense reached a new level of ineptitude, with negative second-half yardage late in the fourth quarter. The line can’t block. The receivers can’t catch, and the quarterback just straight up is not a Division I quarterback. This doesn’t even mention the offensive coordinator who shouldn’t be trusted to run a hot dog stand, let alone a Power Five offense.

If you can’t tell dear reader, I’m pretty broken after this loss. For all of the jokes made by the college football community — we’ll get to those soon — this was just another brutal game to get through.

Oh yeah, I should probably mention the score. Iowa lost 12-10 in a “defensive struggle” where both offenses looked incapable of moving the ball a single yard. I wish better for Phil Parker and the entire defense because I know for a fact Kirk Ferentz is going to say Iowa wasn’t “good enough as a whole” after the game as they continually get gaslit. “I know you guys just watched the quarterback fumble at our own 11, but you really shouldn’t have allowed points there.”

And then the ending.

Oh boy, the ending. Cooper DeJean saves Iowa football with a punt return touchdown with less than two minutes left in the game. Iowa did not deserve to win this game one bit, but hey, par for the course this year. It was then called back on a pretty absurd decision. Iowa loses on a bad call, but not because of it. It’s all anyone will talk about, but, seriously, Iowa only had 12 offensive yards in the second half. That’s why it lost: The same ol’ ineptitude.

This is a game that nobody should watch. Throw the tape in the trash, toss it in the incinerator, and do whatever you need to keep your eyes away from this onslaught to the senses. Somehow, many watched, and the reactions were pretty dang funny.

Let’s all laugh, shake our heads in disbelief, and take a journey through the best social media reactions as we try and forget about this silly embarrassment of a game.

Fire! Fire! Fire! Rock! Rock Rock!

The game literally doesn't get better after this pass
