Umm I willing to bet Gallery wasn't holding in the 2006 Outback bowl because he was playing for Oakland by then.

dude your totally an idiot. The very next day after that game the officials for that game gave an apology to the Big Ten and to Iowa for the penalties that weren't called and then apologizing for the penalties that were called against Iowa including that offsides call. Those officials were even fined by the NCAA for the calls in that game

this is to you guy who uploaded this video...this is the 2005 outback bowl genius

@mongoose704 It was actually Clinton Solomon.

@somethinrather Quite frankly, I think most people remember the bad calls......hence why the video of the bad calls has almost 50,000 views. Everybody and their mom knows Iowa was screwed and I'm not even an Iowa fan.

Hawks didn't play all that great that day but the refs were a goddam joke. Remember Spielman (the announcer) during the game -- he was livid!

@somethinrather I would have gladly taken the 2010 Insight Bowl loss if the refs would have made a good call on Moe's catch that ended Missouri's drive. People won't remember this game obviously because it was prior to a National Championship for Florida (which is why I blame the C-USA more as Iowa shouldn't have gotten buttfucked on defense). But in the rare event somebody does decide to watch this in 20 years they'll probably wonder why there are disgruntled Iowa fans flaming the video.

Were there bad calls? Yes. Will anyone remember that in 20 years? No. So i'll take the victory with bad calls over a loss any day and anyone who says they wouldn't is full of shit. Thank you.

typical hawk fans making excuses

@HawkeyeNation1 sorry isn't enough when you play against a good team at a nice bowl and have it cheated away like that

[sheepburn]

Wasn't it the 2006 Outback Bowl where this happened?  Where the refs seriously gave the game away to Florida, including blatant phony calls for which they had to apologize? It was incredibly pathetic. I think it was obvious throughout the game, but that onside kick recovery at the end really put it over the top, even the neutral announcers were disgusted. Those refs should have been investigated.
