Get a Clue about BF..or go root for ISU, Bama, or Coe

[LegendKF]

my lord. this right here is spot on.

If Wisconsin is able to compete year in and year out like they have been (meaning one of the top most consistent teams in the country) then there is absolutely no reason why Iowa cannot do the same. Its utter horseshit to sit there and think that a top 10 season every few years and knocking off someone we shouldn't every year is the best Iowa can achieve.

It isn't even that Iowa isn't on par with Wisconsin anymore. The fact of the matter is we are significantly behind them and there is absolutely no reason that should be the case. I love Kirk and Co as much as the next guy but its time to pull the black and gold glasses down away and realize that one good season every 3-4 years and a few upsets sprinkled in are not the best that Iowa is capable of. Is consistency nice? sure to an extent. it's not nice when that consistency means a shot at 10+ wins every 3 years and settlings for 7 win seasons the rest.

There is absolutely no one in the big ten west outside of Wisconsin (again a team we should be on par with, year in and year out) that should stop us from being there in the big ten champ game every year. Yet here we are, Wiscy making it to 3/4 champ games out of the west (and 2/3 games out of the leaders) 5 championship appearances in the last 7 years. Meanwhile, Iowa has been once in the 7 years.

and before those of you come in with the "what better coach could we get" "Stability is good" "ect"... Realize that during the time that Wisconsin has made 5 Big ten championships in 7 years, they've had 3 different head coaches/coaching staffs. They finished with 10 or more wins 5 out of those 7 years. 9-4 and 8-6 in the two others. Iowa? one season with 10 or more wins (and we all know how that season worked out once we played someone with a pulse), the rest? 8-5 the best one after that. don't forget to toss the 4-8 year in there as well.

Wisconsin is 70-22 over the last 7 seasons.
Kirk is 51-36 the last 7 seasons. 39-34 when you remove the 12-2 cake walk schedule year. The absolute definition of a mediocre team that has a good season/game every once in a while.

I'm failing really hard to understand why Iowa benefits from the same coach year in and year out anymore. I suppose if the ultimate goal for the Hawks is to be the most average boring team in the country, well then I guess Kirks the right guy.

Maybe I am wrong though IDK. Maybe an upper midwest school like Wisconsin can be a college football powerhouse (at least in a big ten west, big ten champ game sense) and Iowa can't for no reason other than they can't be one.

... and that got away from me. suppose I was in need of a good ol rant

So KFs 1st 7 yrs dont count...okay??..unreal on unreal some r

If you know anything about fball u will understand that we took a 1st yr QB and Frosh Off tackles on the road to play the best team in the BIG & a rivalry road game.

If you're suprised about the outcome and think some Madden gameplan you found online would have done better...well, u should just no longer root for Iowa, go be a Bama, ISU, or Coe fan plz.

BF didn't drop balls all day, miss wide open Fant 87 on a seam route in 1st half, block terrible in 1st half, etc etc. I saw the same plays that worked in situations last week fail only due to player error.

I saw Fant open on a key play crossing route get picked due to a frosh error. I saw a SR WR PR blow 30 yards on poor PR decisions in the first half, I saw Fant miss a catchable fade route that could have also had some more air under it for another 7 if so...on and on and on.

But Im sure you Madden experts think a different play call or gameplan also results in balls being caught, players blocking better ,and a young QB seeing the open 7pts in the seam....
Step back from the ledge, if we get behind this team and they win next week, and in Lincoln, it will have been a pretty good year considering the above, and next yr is much more promising in my mind with whats coming back.

Otherwise, just jump ship and go root for what u thinknis hot, buts not, then you wont need as much time in your safe spaces.

what? sure they count, but this is his 19th season. the first 7 ended TWELVE years ago.

that all you got? no reasoning why Iowa is so far behind Wisconsin? no reasoning why Wisconsin can put up 5 10+ win seasons in 7 years with 3 different head coaches while Kirk put up ONE 10+ win season during the same time with a schedule chock full of cupcakes?

oh yeah shit damn sorry. Kirk was the shit during 2002-2004 08-09 seasons. 19 years later, better give him a few more passes since he gave us 5 good years

I keep forgetting it's not acceptable to criticize this team in anyway on this board. gotta make sure I don't get called a fake fan for actually taking a step back and taking a real dive into what Iowa really is (or isnt)

AMEN!

How dare you tools expect us to gain more than 25% of the yards FAU did vs this badger team!
We have a few young guys on this team, how can we expect them to put up a performance that is even half as good as FAU!

You stupid stupid fake fans!!! lol
