I appreciate the reasonable response. I understand that this is a place to vent, it’s the fact that we have so many different threads basically stating the same sentiment. Why do we need so many?
Sorry, but I’m not taking advice from a piece of shit.
Thanks for the clarification. The 20 other threads about it didn’t quite capture it the way you did. Well done!
You should look at what Evy did as AD. He did more to destroy our standing in the CFB world then he did to elevate it.
Iowa wouldn't have had any standing in CFB after WW2 and prior to Fry if it weren't for Evy.
Doesn't take away the fact he destroyed everything that came after him.
Iowa State? Far superior? Go off the deep end did ya? They just beat Iowa by ONE point in a game we controlled for their 2nd win in the last 7 or 8 times? Far superior? Really? How today played out sucks, absolutely, BUT OSU and Michigan ARE far superior to Iowa, and Illinois, and Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc.... etc... etc...thats just what it is. Thats where the $$$$ is. The portal and NIL have only added to their war chest. Did you listen at all to what Danielson was saying about their whole star studded roster came back, and then they added numerous top transfers? Its a PRO team dude. And Iowa, and the others are going to compete with that HOW exactly? Michigan we could compete with this season. And before people throw Indiana and Rutgers in there they got the benefit of not have all the east powers on there schedule, at least not yet. Rutgers doesn't play OSU or Michigan, or PSU this year.
And thats all fine. The first half went about as well as could be expected We had a 0-7 game and then Kirk pulled that fake punt/ timeout mess. Still 0-7 and the half. The two quick turnovers leading to quick scores ended the game in the third.
Going into this game I thought Iowa had to play flawless and OSU had to give us some gifts. Only down 7 at the half gave me some confidence. The 3rd quarter ended that. Losing by 28 stinks.
I'd say we we're in agreement We were in the game at the half because we were able to be close in TOP and limit OSU's chances with the ball. That all ended with the 2 quick turnovers in the third on short fields..
i suppose in a sense we had the best loss today in the top 25, hope we move up.#1 Alabama lost
#4 Tennessee lost
#9 Missouri lost
#10 Michigan lost
#11 USC lost
#22 Louisville lost
#25 UNLV lost
missing a standard FG and missing what really looked like a pass that 90% of qbs would've hit for a TD were somewhat inexcusable in a big game (for us). the two blatant jobs on spots (giving osu a first down after review and screwing us on our conversion) led to their only first half td as well. thing is if my aunt had balls, the first half could've ended 10-0 in our favor easily before we got isu-ed in the second half.
Those top 11 upsets all were road losses. There is little difference between the other two teams and their opponents.#1 Alabama lost
#4 Tennessee lost
#9 Missouri lost
#10 Michigan lost
#11 USC lost
#22 Louisville lost
#25 UNLV lost
Let's fast-forward.
Except Vandy over Bama. That ones a shocker. All my Mizzou friends expected their loss at some point. Most of them thought the Tigers have been over rated all season.
Evil, I hear you. Like most here I think a change is needed at the top. Its just time for some new blood. It needs to happen, but probably won't as we've discussed. My only issue is the people who think were ever really going to compete with the OSU's of the game in the current climate. I'm not saying we couldn't pull an upset once in awhile, (would be great to even get back to that). I'm just saying actually competing on a regular basis. I don't care who we hire as HC, it will take some major changes on the current system for Iowa to compete with those teams, when in reality we've NEVER really competed on a year to year basis even before this mess which only widened the gap for the "haves".
Today you looked into the father of NIL/Open Portal college football. You will increasingly have better defined “haves” and “have nots” as the $$ sorts things out. This is no longer “capitalistic” football….two years ago college football has made a move towards “monopolistic” football. There will be certain schools that will do well in this environment and schools that will be fodder for those who are successful. Today we saw where UIowa’s destiny lies.
Calling for the HC that has been inept at fielding a respected offense the past decade isn't delusional.
Obtuse
I don’t agree.
Not the lose it's the coaches inability to TRY to improve. Basically "I can do whatever I want and answer to no one" attitude.
One garbage time td vs backups was much better than you thought on offense?😆 I mean I get why having low expectations is warranted in year 26 of ferentz offensive is warranted but damn. I guess that is where we are
Yep.
Even if we had $16M more in NIL to offer, Kirk would not recruit the top guys. He would not build an offense where we would use them. He is not the answer moving forward. You can see the difference that Tim has brought to the offense. If Kirk would of had it his way, we would still have his ass hole son. Kirk is an anchor for this program.
