Ok, there’s nothing that anyone can say that will cure the pain Iowa fans are feeling after the 23-21 loss to North Dakota State. But laughter is the best medicine.
ESPNU decided to put a quirky spin on the final 30 seconds of Saturday’s upset win for the Bison, muting the broadcast and inserting the voice of a new announcer to call the final kick.
The finished product was pure gold:

This doesn’t take the sting away for Hawkeyes fans, but hopefully it shines a little bit of light after a gloomy weekend. After all, the words that were spoken are probably how Iowa fans still feel today.
