Early Camp Rumblings

[Iron Doc]

The hill I am choosing to die on is not that Deacon should have gotten the snaps at QB (although I agree with that).

The hill I choose to die on is that the extent of complaints that Hill got those snaps has been unwarranted.

This distinction has been made a couple times in this thread.

You are probably correct though, that there's no getting these idiots to realize that

Banks has even said he wasn't ready. Not ready is not ready.

McCann and that team were a huge part of building certain winning elements that still exist in the program today. I'm just fine with how that season turned out. As proud of that team as any Hawkeye team.

May not have worked out as well for Banks and crew they following year if he had been forced into action the previous year. I'm just fine with how that season went as well. Also as proud of Banks and that team as any

...or he might have been more ready against ISU... and they'd be undefeated.

I know what my eyes saw. Also look at scores v who was at QB. Not close. Anyway, was a good season.

Kakert says in his podcast today that McNamara has allegedly looked much better in practice this week.

Here’s some actual information. Thank you!

I'll admit I haven't been to the "WNBA" board for a while. I do know it was within the first five games that you were calling Sides out. I also know that I was the first one on this board to defend her, and continued to be one of the few within the first five games.

I applaud you for not bashing Lickliter. I thought I was the only one.

It sounds like you've truly made a difference in the lives of a lot of young women and I commend and thank you for that.

I guess I just overreacted to hearing you break the "coaches code". I guess I can understand that you can be different on this board than you are in a coaching situation. I just seems kind of rare.

I will pin you down on not liking KF's offense. It has been serviceable for near the entirety of his tenure. If it hasn't been entertaining enough for you, that's on you. As a coach, you should understand that winning is what's entertaining. Maybe football isn't your area of expertise. But as a coach, I would think you would appreciate every other strength of the program that has allowed Iowa to continue winning even when the offense hasn't been serviceable. Yes, I would like the offense to be better. But I just don't understand why it's such a big deal to people.

I guess this is another discussion entirely, but competition alone in entertaining. And so are the Hawkeyes. I've never not been entertained by a Hawkeye sporting event in 39 years of having closely followed them

No I didn’t. I was NOT calling out Sides. I literally have defended her all season long.

Maybe I'm misremembering because I do recall you having defended Sides.

Maybe I was just thinking of when you called out Auriemma. And I'm pretty sure you kept blaming Mitchell one game too, which I thought odd. But, this stuff's been months ago, so maybe I'm not remembering accurately about this either.

If I'm wrong, I apologize

I haven’t been negative of the Fever…other than Wallace. If someone wants to accuse me of being negative about her…guilty as charged. Everyone in my house knows I’m not a fan of hers. I was right, too, because now she barely plays.

Vandenberg was trending to good+ but GDGD ruined him for his senior season.

My question at the time was why was he even considered? When he could take the 4 and 5 star talent Texas had on O and make them terrible enough he was let go. Just exactly how was he going to make Iowa’s O better?

What did your "eyes see". Ready wasn't the problem. The problem was that he hurt his hand in the first half, and had little feeling in it which led to numerous fumbles in the second half allowing ISwho to come back in that game. Without the turnovers we win easily. Banks should have been out in the 2nd half and let Chandler just play ball control and run the ball, and we still win by a couple of scores.

Anyone hear any reports on the scrimmage today ?

This thread shows some frustration you've had with Mitchell.

No biggie at all. I don't expect you to remember everything you posted a month ago.

Just was trying to verify to myself that I hadn't gone completely crazy😉

Everyone that went to all those games in 2001 and 2002 could tell who was the more talented QB. That is nothing against McCann. Banks should got more time his junior year.

Yeah I would hope so. But that isn't the point

I saw one heck of a qb.
