Does the success of the basketball team take some of the heat off the fball department, take it down a notch, or no impact in your opinion?
bball helping or hurting fball?
- Thread starter HAWK-N-402 (4)
- Start date
Football was creating heat on the basketball team. Hawkeye fans yearning for something resembling success since 2009. The football struggles and basketball collapse last year had people antsy.
I think this makes the casual fan a little less desperate. Football still rules the world though.

I fully expected you to show up in one way shape or form matt however that was weak even by your standards.
across the board just how many teams actually have successful FB and BB programs at the same time AT the Power 5 level
Kentucky rules the BB WORLD but they are mediocre at best in FB same with Alabama, Kansas has a very very good BB program but sucks at FB
inly the Idiots on this board feel they are owed both programs to be at the top in every sport. otherwise its FIRE Barta and its Fire every coach that does not win Championships like they feel they deserve.

Michigan St, Ohio St, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Oklahoma St, Texas, Baylor, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Georgia, LSU, Louisville, Notre Dame, Duke, UCLA, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Florida, Michigan. Just a few programs that have been fairly steady at basketball and Football over the years.
Facts? You and Augie need to do some research on some of these schools, because some that you listed have been no more or even less successful culumatively than Iowa.
Remember, he said 'over time'....
It's idiot kool aid drinkers like you that settle for mediocrity in Iowa athletics and life in general.
All you have to do is look at the Iowa football coaching staff's inability to adapt and/or adjust to the changes in college football over the past 6-7 years. As long as KF heads the program the team performance will continue to slide towards the bottom of the Big Ten. Iowa's basketball program is digging out of the Alford/Lickliter mess and continues to improve the football program is heading the opposite direction and will until KF and his staff are gone.
Who has 'adapted' and 'adjusted' well to these alleged changes? What 'changes' are you refering to? As far as I know, the rules have not changed much since the advent of the forward pass. Gimmicky offenses come and go son.
Whose 'model' should we follow?
Can you provide any 'evidence' of staff's said inablilty?
The power structure in football hasn't changed in 40 years, not an opinion, it's fact. Research before making frivolous judgements.
The same teams that were on 'top' and the top recruiters, in the 70's are still the top teams now. Some of the 'also rans' challenge the top tier occassionally, but that cycles.
Can this staff do better? Maybe/Probably. But I assure you that you don't have any answers. You probably wouldn't even understand the questions. It's complicated, son.
We were towards the 'bottom' of the big ten last year? In what regards? Not wins and losses. Not statistically. Not attendence wise. Besides KF's first two years, when have they ever been towards the bottom? Your definition of 'slide' is not shared by the VAST majority of Iowa supporters.
I understand a LITTLE BIT of disappointment with last year, but do you really believe YOU are more disappointed than the players? The coaches? The players have 'sucked it up' and are working hard towards this year. They, and most people, are far more resilient than you appear to be.
Football's a fickle game, my friend. Unless you can find a team that will always be a 'sure thing', I suggest you learn to 'let things go' a little better and leave the football team to the knowledgeable.
Unsafisfied with the product. Speak with your wallet or find another team. That's the American way. When did Americans become nothing but a bunch of snivelers.
I love how 'fans' with absolutely no clue, come on here and make uninformed, vague, judgements on issues they don't even have enough information on to even understand.
And trust me, you don't have an inkling on where to even start on how to run a Div1 football program and what it takes to be a competative at this level. NONE, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA......
Matty, could you please explain what you mean again. Need a little more detail, so I can understand what you mean.
Mr. Expert if you think the Iowa football program is trending upward that is your opinion. Kirk's record speaks for itself the last five years: 2-3 against the mighty Cyclones, 19-21 in the Big Ten, and 1-4 versus Nebraska. By the way I have been an Iowa fan since 1953 and have followed them through thick and thin I don't jump the ship but I'm also a realist. We'll see How KF turns it around the next three years of his top ten salary contract I hope they are least 5-3 annually in the Big Ten and get to one of the Big Ten's top tier bowl games on a regular basis. Hopefully they can beat ISU annually and at least break even with the likes of Nebraska and Northwestern and re-fill Kinnick.
No I don't run a Division 1 program but I'm not paid to do so but I do see the results.

Alabama had a good run in bball a few years ago - but speaking of Alabama and their BBall program:
Alabama athletic department officials are ready to make an offer amounting to more than $3 million to current Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall, according to Gary Parrish of CBSSports.com.
Crimson Tide officials aim to make a hire to replace former coach Anthony Grant and to match Auburn's signing of coach Bruce Pearl last spring, Parrish reports.
A source told Parrish that Alabama hoped to attract the Shockers' coach with "piles of money, an athletic department with a culture of winning and every possible resource he needs to compete with anybody on a national level."

Have you always been this stupid or did you have to work at it over the years?

Keep in mind that Matty is in his 50's. Yes, he's not just an adult, he's grandpa age. This is one of our elders here folks.
"success" is an interesting term that can be defined differently according to the person. I would argue football and basketball are at about the same level right now. I think next football season will be very good. I am not sure about next basketball season. I think we could be good offensively with better floor spacing, but we could be very thin in the post and a sprained ankle away from being in trouble. I think if healthy, we will be solid.
The year was 1986. The Iowa football team was playing in the Rose Bowl. The wrestling team won its 9th consecutive NCAA title in record breaking fashion. The Iowa women's bb team made its first ever appearance in the NCAA tournament. In the fall of '86, the field hockey team won a NCAA championship. The men's basketball team gets off to a flying start, enroute to being ranked #1.
