Fox Sports colleague shut down Colin Cowherd live on air over what he called the “fake ID” of college football

"I'm not gonna allow it .."

The Iowa Hawkeyes have been Colin Cowherd's punching bag since their undefeated regular season in 2015, and Cowherd recently called them the "fake ID" of college football.

Cowherd regularly criticizes the program and the team's non conference schedule, but college football analyst Joel Klatt defended the Hawkeyes on Cowherd's show on Tuesday.

Cowherd has been praising the San Francisco 49ers' 2017 draft class, which included two former Iowa Hawkeyes. The 49ers selected quarterback C.J. Beathard in the third round, and they took tight end George Kittle in the fifth round.

"You're trying to jump on this Iowa bandwagon, I'm not gonna allow it," Klatt said. "I'm not gonna allow you to jump on the bandwagon of C.J. Beathard and George Kittle and say what great picks they were when you've been bashing Iowa for the past year-and-a-half. That's a good program up there."

Cowherd responded and asked who the Hawkeyes play in the non conference schedule in 2017, but Klatt had already made his point.

Maybe Cowherd will back off the Hawkeyes a little next season, but Iowa fans shouldn't hold their breath. Maybe Klatt can talk some more sense into him next year if the Hawkeyes are contenders again.
