The game score/results are pretty much as expected. I am 100% in agreement with your comments above, but I have stronger feelings than "think" about KF retiring.How are you guys feeling post-game?
I think I’m ready for KF to retire. Our style of football is tolerable when we’re beating the other Big Ten West teams, but we’re pretty much a joke within college football. It’s a tough pill to swallow knowing that if we even had an average offense, we probably beat the #2 team in the nation 4 or 5 times out of 10. Kirk’s inability to adapt offensively and keep running the same outdated scheme season after season tells me he’s not fit to run a Power 5 program anymore.
This whole being loyal to guys like Spencer Petras and Deacon Hill while not giving anyone else a chance is such a slap in the face to the Iowa fans. Why would anyone send their kid to Iowa while our offense is stuck in 1906? If KF is the coach for the next 2 seasons, we already know who’s going to be the QB’s. It’ll be Cade next season and Deacon the season after that. If I’m a QB on the roster, I’m hitting the portal and going elsewhere. And if that doesn’t make your blood boil as a fan, it should.
KF can stand up there and talk about the refs screwing Iowa on the punt return against Minnesota all he wants. I’d rather he give a calculated explanation as to why Deacon Hill is still the QB. Why we’re still running a zone blocking scheme that has been a swinging a door for the last 3 seasons, and why guys like Vines (who is probably the worst WR I’ve seen in an Iowa uniform) are still seeing the field.
I have spent a lot of time and money on Iowa Football, as I’m sure most of you have as well, and this is the product we’re getting. Unless Kirk goes completely hands off on the offense, which I doubt, and brings in an offensive coordinator who isn’t afraid to use a mobile QB and spread the ball out, then he needs to retire. His way or offensive philosophy doesn’t work anymore. It’s not an eye test thing either. The stats clearly back this up. We’re ranked dead last or close to it in every offensive category, and have been the last 3 years.
If you’re not pissed off as Iowa fans, and you’re still drinking the KF Kool-Aid, then you’re not an Iowa fan. You’re a KF fan.
If you travel around CF boards - especially the B1G boards - EVERYONE agrees that Iowa has a top 5 to 10 defense annually. Hats off to Phil Parker who is a top 5 DC.I was impressed with Michigan's 2 six yard TD drives and 4 field goals. I knew Iowa would get the short end of the calls but never expected an on the field play, blown incomplete could possible be given away but the Big X had a lot to lose if Michigan falls out of the CP games...
PSU has also been better - in most years - than any team in the WestI don’t think anyone has ever argued that Michigan and Ohio State aren’t the two best programs in the B1G. BUT, you deal with what’s in front of you, and you play the teams in front of you. Iowa has proved over the years that it is one of the better programs in the country. Not elite like UM or OSU, but good and definitely in the top 20-25 percent of division one programs historically. Maybe even higher. While I agree it’ll be very tough to win the B1G moving forward, I think a program like Iowa can have years where it competes.
Prepared myself for the loss in advance. Knew how it would go . Decided to use my time well spent seeing Godzilla .How are you guys feeling post-game?

Michigan was held to 12 points on drives that started outside Iowa's 6 yard line. An offense with a hint of life and this game goes down to the wire.Crazy enough, I thought it went better than expected. Michigans offense couldn’t do shit, outside their short fields with the punt return and asinine replay overturn. Score was close to what I expected but damn the D was salty.

Meh, Michigan is gonna lose to Bama in the farce that is the CFP so I'm okay with how things played out, considering we never were given a chance to win anyway.How are you guys feeling post-game?

Why did you stop drinking?I feel great! 812 days sober. I don't even remember my last hangover now.
College Football is just a game 18-23 year olds play for entertainment. Going on 40 now I'm glad I don't dwell on losses like I did in my teens and 20's. Meaningless.
There is so much more to life than football/sports. A 10 win season is far more than I expected after the early season injuries happened. I'm happy and content
I’m pretty sure you can have a beer. Just try it.You do you my friend. I remember making comments like that.
Alcohol is just poison put in the body to dull your brain and alter your nervous system. Far more harm than good. Glad I figured that out before it was too late.
Terrible advice.I’m pretty sure you can have a beer. Just try it.
Loosen up and have a drink. You know deep down you need it.Every site can be an AA site. Never miss an opportunity to help someone that may need it. Alcoholics are often selfish people that don't even realize it
STFU. Seriously.Loosen up and have a drink. You know deep down you need it.
Again, STFU. Who cares? This is a football forum.Are you voting Trump?
Don’t listen to Ron. He’s a douche and an idiot. Congrats on your sobriety. Keep it up.Every site can be an AA site. Never miss an opportunity to help someone that may need it. Alcoholics are often selfish people that don't even realize it
Couldn’t say it any better myself. Defense was lights out.Proud of the defense. Annoyed about the fumble call. Ready to see what's next for the offense.
Well of course....push your nonsense onto anyone everywhere you can!Every site can be an AA site. Never miss an opportunity to help someone that may need it. Alcoholics are often selfish people that don't even realize it
Congratulations and kudos to you! What you are doing is not easy.Multiple reasons. My wife and I are from small town Iowa where all there seemingly is to do is drink socially. She got sober 10 years ago and i switched to drinking Vodka at the time, instead of beer, so I wouldn't be "drinking in front of her" I had Tito's locked in my gun safe so she couldn't see or get to it. (I used to drink WildTurkey in my 20's.. Explains my handle.. I know.. I know... 😆 )
Over the years since then, I progressed to drinking vodka everyday as soon as I got off work. I could drink a fifth a night no problem and a Handle on Saturdays/Sundays. Im not bragging because it's not about comparing how much you can drink vs someone else. That's just how far I had progressed in my alcoholism.
My wife got pregnant in 2018 and I knew it was finally time to straighten up. I tried many times on my own to quit, but it just wasn't that easy for a 20 year boozer like me. Withdrawals are very real! I ended up going to the Betty Ford Center in Minnesota and got myself some professional help for a month. It was one of the greatest decisions I've made as an adult. My relationship with my wife is wonderful now. I have a lot more money in the bank. I feel great most everyday.. I have found my serenity in life.
Neither of my 2 sons will ever know me as a drunk as long as I stay on track. One day at a time. Sober Life truly is the best Life.
The first and biggest step is admitting you're powerless over alcohol. It gets easier after that imo.
I know some of you rolled your eyes when you just read this, and that's ok. I don't mind at all. That's the other great thing about almost being 40. I just don't care what people think of me anymore
I just feel so awful for PP and the defense. They hold one of the best offenses in the country to ~150 yards and 10 points less than their average despite the offense and special teams gifting them 2 touchdowns with drives <10 yards. This defense belongs on TV today watching the CFP selection show, while the offense doesn't deserve playing for the Div III championship. So maddening as a fan; I can't imagine what it's like for Craig, Jackson, Evans, Castro, etc.
Well of course....push your nonsense onto anyone everywhere you can!
I expected the D to eventually collapse under pressure like the PSU game but they didn't. I thought going in Iowa would lose 40 something to nothing. The D didn't allow that. I was offered a $50 bet by a Mich grad on whether Iowa would score or not. I didn't even have to think about it and wisely said no with a laugh. Iowa is not a good team. They are not a top 25 team. We have played only two and have lost by a combined score of 57 - 0. I am expecting Iowa to move to 0 - 3 against teams in the top 35 after the bowl. I just hope we score a point.
We were there because the hawks won more games than the rest of the division. We didn't pick it, the boys just won enough games put in front of them. Another elite defense hung out to dry. 10 wins on their shoulders. Hoping for bowl victory. GO HAWKSLet's be completely honest. The ONLY reason that Iowa was in 3 CCG appearances is because of the ridiculous - absolutely ridiculous - division setups in the B1G. Those were not the 2 best teams in the conference last night or in previous years. All of the power is - and has been in the East again.....like in all of the previous years
Most of the B1G championship games were complete blowouts and the West never won one of those games. Thank God it ends after this year. You'll have a better chance of hitting the lottery than one of the current West teams playing in a B1G CCG going forward
Explain why anyone on a football board wants/needs to listen to a pious, reformed drunk preach about the evils of Satan’s beverage?You truly are special 😳
