Said basically this isn't basketball and FB requires a lot of prep that they've been working on since Sunday and that it would be "disrespectful" to the game to just play another team on the fly. So agree, disagree, that's his position. Next game would be a bowl game sounds like.
KF: "Would Not Be Happy W Replacement Game"
- Thread starter Kaiser_Soze
- Start date
Sad but true. ANY other sport EXCEPT football, Should have stayed with Iowa/Indy to begin with. Another reason to boot the comish - he's just plain in over his head.
Disagree. If a game were scheduled today, they would have lost 2 days of prep (Mon and Tue). With a Friday game,
one day is lost, so this scenario would only be one additional prep day lost. The NFL teams are doing it, so we should be able to. He just doesn't want to and is trying to justify that.
He could pick any caliber opponent he chooses. I'm not surprised that he doesn't understand that a safe game both improves our NY6 chances, and provides a better opportunity than spring practice to evaluate the other QBs.
As it stands, we are directly heading into another season with the QB position being the least dependable position on the field.

BYU had the guts to play @ Coastal Carolina. The game was scheduled on Thursday and played on Saturday, and it was one of the most entertaining games of the season. But that's not how KF rolls.
Wait, so now you want them to play? Make up your damn mind!
NFL teams also don’t have to worry about their classes and during the season can dedicate all of their time to the game. That’s what they’re being paid for.
Additionally this new team wasn’t on the original schedule to where the coaching staff would’ve been paying attention to them to have an idea of what to do. Getting a name on a Wednesday and trying to put something together and practiced within 3 days while taking classes is ridiculous.
Disagree. Offensively, Iowa does what they do. They could figure out on the fly how to adjust. Defensively, you can run a base defense and watch film for a couple of days and then game plan. If you don't think Iowa knows how to prepare for an Indiana or another team not in conference you've got another thing coming.

Wow shocking....Kirk said exactly what I said any coach with a brain would say. No coach worth anything is going to jump on board a plan to switch opponents at the last minute....to think otherwise is fantasy....it’s not XBox
Respect the mans opinion, he might have already talked to his players about this option, my guess is we would of seen some of our guys opt out for this game anyhow. Wouldn’t be surprised to see more than a handful opt out for a bowl game.
Did Indiana or Purdue cancel their game? If it was the Boilers, Iowa ought to play the Hosers.

I'm with Kirk on this one. These guys have been jerked around enough this year. Hell, we got 8 games in. Iowa will get a good bowl selection and go kick ass. Then bring on next season!
People The only thng that matters to Big10 is OSU's playoff resume! ,,, Make Sure Indiana doesn't lose!
Everyone knows that Iowa never should have been paired with Michigan in the first place. Altering the original plans, where number twos should have played....then suddenly we get all these strange convoluted pairings....and why wouldn't they take into account the fact that Michigan could not be trusted to field a team?
Because the Big10 has been changing every plan laid out at the start of this season and bending over backwards to try and get the best playoff resume for OSU. No one else matters now.... Their playoff resume is iffy at best...and would surely taken a devastating hit if their only "signature" win of their measly schedule Indiana got their butts stomped by Iowa....which let's face it...Iowa is most improved team in big10 right now and looks better than Indiana.

Big 10 tried to rig the schedule to get wins for both Iowa and Indiana and screwed it up in the process.
For Kirk it might be a problem but not for most coaches....remember folks, after the age of 60 your balls start to shrink.

Honestly at this point I hope Fitz finds lightning in a bottle and takes down OSU. I’m so sick of hearing about their playoff resume....would love to see them at home after NY6 gets cancelled
Chances are pretty good that unless all bowl bound schools are quarantined right now and remain quarantined through Christmas (they won’t), we might have seen the last of Iowa football for the season. If every player goes home for Christmas and sees family, like I would expect, every team is going to have positives by New Year’s Day.
The game is irrelevant. Idiot just takes every avenue possible to hate on KF.
Too close to bowl game now. Can't prep in 2 days. And it is Dec 15 already with bowls probably coming out Sunday night???
Indiana also has covid issues and would have canceled on Iowa numb nuts.
It is finals week for 1. We are at Dec 15 already. Bowl selections I believe come out Sunday evening at which point all prep starts with those. Only team really we have prepped for is Wisconsin so we just play them again?
No one outside the conference. That was set back when Nebraska was going rogue and the BT office kicked them in the shorts.

Honest question - why has the Big 10 struggled so much with COVID compared to other conferences?
Explain how that no prep time worked out for BYU.
There are no classes after this week! Play next Tuesday!! Everyone will watch!
I didn't know that - though it was just Purdue. Still think commish in over his head though.
Conference play is over for Iowa at this point so I don't see why that would still matter?
Let's get healthy to get to the bowl game and get 'er done. Outback is okay if that is it for us. Just rename it to the Hawk bowl though.
