I choose Labas cause i heard he can scramble which may be very necessary but look forward to seeing them both.
Labas or May?

I will be 100% honest. With McNamara on board. I don’t really care anymore. Actually, this pains me to say it, but I wish Petras was starting this game.
Let’s say Labas comes out and lights the world on fire. Suddenly the first pick that Cade throws and half the fan base will be clamoring for a QB competition.
I am so excited for a new competent QB. But only bad things can come from this bowl game.

I can definitely see that happening. It seems we aren't the supporting positive fan base we like to say we are.

And I have been as critical as anyone of Petras probably. But we have QB1 now, Cade stepping on the field is instantly one of the top 5 talented QBs of the Ferentz era.
Any illusions this bowl game will provide will be completely unnecessary. Maybe just let Tory Taylor punt on first down and see if we can let the defense score one and win 7-0
I just can't stop loving the bowl game. I know it's not important to most but it's really important to me. This years is the first year though where i actually realized it has no importance other than I'm old and stuck in my ways.

Hey, I have always liked bowl games too. But this years just really isn’t moving the needle for me. It’s the backup bowl….we’re not playing for a top 25 ranking or 10 wins or anything like that, the season ended on a real downer….and mentally, as a fan, I have already moved on to 2023. I’ll watch but more than anything I’m just hoping no one gets hurt at this point.
This is why I am excited for the game. No expectations going in. I definitely want the Hawks to win, but I don't really care one way or the other. I just want to see what Labas and/or May can do.
Will Kirk/Brian just try to run the ball 95% of the time, or will they say "the heck with it" and open things up? I expect the former, but would love to see the latter.
As much as this looks like a move in the right direction, I'm going to wait and see what he actually does on the field for Iowa before deciding he's a top 5 qb of the Ferentz era.
And there's nothing bad at all about having a reasonable back up at qb. Particularly since it's been 3 seasons now without much at qb1 or qb2.
With Kirk staying at the helm his history says it would take a huge flop from his anointed qb1 for qb2 to see the field. About the last thing anyone should be concerned about is Cade getting a quick hook.
No one has seen his face in decades. Who would know?
He hasn't started for Iowa yet!
KOK was the primary recruiter for our QB's through May (Carson). BF was primary on Resar.
I suspect with McNamara's arrival the QB position, from recruiting to coaching, has been addressed moving forward. For the bowl game IMO, May.

I can tell ya from watching pregame warmups and half time warm ups they both throw saweet spirals on the ball. Big insider tip I know.
He suspects he is the “that m fer” that Brady referred to.

Only if we have the o line do that pump thing they did when Landry coached the cowboys.
Why not put both in the backfield? Like a wildcat but only for passing. Does it sound dumb? Sure. But so did the regular offense nearly every week this season.
This reminds me of that play from a few years ago that must have been a BF special. Don't remember the opponent but they put Mansell in the shotgun and lined up Stanley in the slot. Think it was supposed to be a lateral for Stanley to chuck it downfield, but Mansell froze and the play got blown up. Would be fun if they brought that back for this game.
It's imperative for Iowa to win this game, 2 losses in a row to end the season leaves a very sour taste in everyone's mouth.
Eight wins > seven wins.
Momentum moving forward is what this program needs to see and winning a bowl game is the right direction moving forward into 2023.
Enough of this I don't care talk, enough of this time to move on talk!!!

Really. Did Padilla not come in for Petras in some games the last two years? Did he not start the 2nd half against OSU?
Yea, that was the end of the Dan Mcquire era at Iowa. Big strong armed guy who was a little light up stairs I think. Off to SDSU and trashing Fry on the Roy Firestone show I believe for old Hayden not giving Dan the keys to the offense.
You don’t care the about the outcome of this game Doc? Questioning your loyalty to the Hawks as every game and every W matters
At the end of the day, this game is for the kids. Young kids getting better and a last game for some great Hawk seniors. I will be there rooting them on as loudly as I can. Always want the Hawks to win!!! Go Hawks!!!
Bowl games used to be played for conference bragging rights. Now it’s like a spring training baseball game. Check the numbers in your program folks as you’ll likely be seeing some guys for the first time. The score really doesn’t matter it counts for nothing anyway.
Get as many on the field as possible. It will just provide more off season fodder for this board😂
