Go cheer for the Boilers all year then you traitor.
I apologize for not reading all five pages, but holy shit...Purdue and clock mgmt should never be used in the same sentence
PS… do you know how many people in my lifetime, again 20 years in this very board that Iowa fans have suggested has been underutilized… Honestly it gets old and tired!
Move along friend…
Purdon't
59 Pass attempts (73% of their plays)
22 Rush attempts (27% of their plays)

Uh, I have seen much better lac'em up in Kinnick....yes, he was solid WR, but let's not put him on a pedestal of being one of Iowa's all time great WRs...
Things are gonna get rough for them once teams realize they can't run to save their lives.

This is the problem though, most of of the people trashing Charlie Jones are solely viewing this from the scope of being an Iowa fan and what’s best for you, the fan. Charlie Jones wanted a better opportunity to showcase his skill and build his resume for the NFL, you don’t have to like it, but that doesn’t change the facts. It’s also fair to say that he was likely underutilized at Iowa, stating these things does not make someone less of a fan.
Purdue is a Big 12 team. Flashy offense and a babyshit soft defense that lets them down at the end.
He’s a great player. He will have a lot of success at the WR spot this year if he stays healthy, which will be a much taller task when he’s a top target for a team that throws 59 times per game. It will cost him some overall team success and any chance at a B1G returner of the year repeat. It’s pretty simple, I think it’s clear what he was looking for. A loss for Iowa for sure, unfortunately accentuated by our injury issues at the position, but I think we’ll be fine in the return game. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if his replacement has more success than he does in fact.
Depends on your definition of "wasted," I guess. What's worse? 1) Having an elite-level WR sitting on the depth chart behind 4 guys that he is clearly better than, as the offense sucks a$$ all year, or 2) Having an elite-level WR playing terrific in all facets of the WR game, but having a defense and coaching staff that repeatedly blow games?
It’s not working, you aren’t terribly well liked jackwad!
I'd rather win games. You would rather win games. Everyone and their dog would rather win games. That's kind of the point of playing them.
I'm trashing Charlie because he's a douchebag that left Iowa and his teammates high and dry at the last second, leaving them no time to find a replacement. I don't really care how good or bad he does there.
Had he not explicitly announced he was returning to Iowa and then waited until after spring ball, the 2022 recruiting class, AND the final day of the transfer portal, I'd wish him luck, like I do Tracy. But he didn't.
Does stumbling into a targeting call after a drop count as a stat?
You wouldn't be surprised if Iowa suddenly had a consensus all-B1G return guy? I don't think I'd be more surprised if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet.
Do you know how math works? It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been a member, it still adds up to over a day of your life. Actually, you’re proving my point, that’s just the amount of time you’ve invested posting. You’ve likely wasted waaaay more time than that if you’ve been here 20 years…yikes. You didn’t graduate from Iowa did you?
Pretty disingenuous to think he wouldn't have liked to have the win, but here was his exact quote on why he made the decision to transfer.
“Came here for the offense, last couple of years they’ve shown that being a receiver in this type of offense gives a lot of opportunities,” he said.
I think he was targeted nearly 20 times (if not more) so I'd say, at least based on the first time out, he's getting exactly what he was hoping for.
Are you ok you dork? It’s pretty clear after tonight that Iowas offense doesn’t know how to utilize receivers. Why is that so hard for you to figure out and accep?
You've been posting on this board for 20+ years, meaning you are well into adulthood. And then "Jackwad" came along....now that's funny.
Lmao you act as if they were some scrub team and not 10-3 and finished in the top 25.
Yes, with 6:27 left in the game and a 3 point lead Purdue ran 9 plays and only took 1:37 off the clock to do so.
Here's another striking stat ... 365 yards passing ... but with only 1 TD pass!
Furthermore, without the pick-six ... the O only accounted for 21 points.

Maybe not all-conference, but it's not a coincidence we've had a consistently good return game since Levar Woods became STC. Hell, Kyle Groeneweg was statistically better than Jones as a PR.
I get that this is your schtick and all, but he went to Purdue to get opportunities, which is what he got. Your suggestion that he went to Purdue to lose is just projection.
PS… you can light to your friends you can’t lie to us… You wanted bad and I do mean bad for Purdue to win in this game so you could dance around and bitch and moan about Iowa and their offense and hey guess what Charlie got what he wanted 12 catches and his team still lost, honestly what the hell else can you add to the equation from here?
Not a ****ing thing….
I’m sorry, I must be confused… He did get the loss, right?
