You don't actually believe they're the #11 team in the country do you?

You're right, we should've beaten them. That's on KF. It did however save the nation from having to endure the preposterousness of Iowa being ranked that high for doing essentially nothing, before going into OSU and being boatraced last weekend.

FIFY...

I never hope Iowa loses.

That was very hard for me to type…I’m not proud of myself 👎🏼

Sadly, there have been too many of them.

How many big teams are better lately?

what another wasted season

Probably, if 10-2 is a wasted season. I think the little Debbie seasons were wasted for seven years from 3-9 to 5-7. I think 9-3 and 10-2 are damn good seasons.

It wouldn't be unprecedented. Padilla started the second half at OSU two years ago.

Technically true, but Iowa was down 17 points at halftime, so there really wasn't chance of winning that game. That was more of KF putting QB2 in an impossible situation so that he could boast "Well, see, QB2 isn't any good either, so I guess I've been right all along going with QB1."

I believe the last time KF put in QB2 in a true effort to replace an underperforming player in a true effort to win a game was JC replacing Stanzi in the '08 Iowa State game. CJB replacing JR at Pitt '14 was an injury replacement, as was Padilla replacing Petras at NW '21 and Petras replacing Padilla at Nebraska '21, I believe.

I don't think that anyone would argue that KF's QB management in all phases (recruiting/talent evaluation, development, game play decisions) has gradually gone from ok to bad to downright dreadful.

I’d rather lose out so Kirk can basically get pushed out. That’s where many of us are unfortunately..

Doesn't shock me coming from you. I know you probably have a few just like you. Such yuuuuuge fans.

At least we know them by screen name.

The thing that is really shocking to me is that Kirk seems to have no trouble replacing established running backs and receivers with new guys. He's never be shy about pulling an RB out of a game that commits a turnover.

But QB....

Sky is blue,Kirk chews gum, grass is green,Kirk sticks with his starter , dadgum.

I have been waiting for a miracle post to get put up that Sullivan was practicing with the 1s, Kirk never fails to remind the fanbase how incompetent His is with QB evaluations . I am ready for a Coaching change at this point I used to be pumped on Fridays for the upcoming Iowa game, Those Days are gone. Iowa has become a can of spam that has been left out in the sun and is being served to People who thought they had bought a New York strip when You consider the financial cost of a Saturday gameday .
