Other healthy players quitting?
- Thread starter Mountain Man Hawk
- Start date
Well not ALL the fans. I'd rather be 8-4 than 6-6 and go to a decent bowl game.
I want the Hawks to win tomorrow and next Friday despite the fact that there is very little on the line. My weekends are better when the Hawks win.
Me too & Im on record 8-4 sucks. But honestly, I’m to the point sports get less meaningful for me every year. I’ve watched less football this year than anytime in the last 30 years and the fans…I am absolutely sick and tired of their bitching, whining, ungrateful attitudes.

I have definitely switched to being more interested in nfl, went live to Houston to see bills Texans…. What a good time
The nightmare continues. Hats off to the kid for not quitting and trying to be there for his team. I respect that.
He receives a SWARM paycheck, and he sure as shit isn't going pro. I'm assuming he wants to continue to collect that paycheck. Logic seems to be falling short with ya.

All the evidence supports my claim, and it's silly to try a refute it. Maybe you've been gone too long to remember how Kirk's mind as a QB whisperer works.
There is no evidence… Hell, I’ve seen KF put players back in after fumbling in recent years that never used to happen. TJ Hall and all of our DBs have gotten multiple chances. Hell every wide receiver we have drops the ball routinely. We’ve had shit ass offensive lineman that couldn’t block for several years.
It’s a completely made up bullshit narrative that you and your myopic pals have convinced yourself is true.
There IS NO evidence. Some of you guys honestly are dumb as post.

The issue is the last years of the Ferentz regime are eerily similar to the last few Fry years.
Fans dread that, or at least I do.
Iowa continually loses 1/2 games every season as healthy favorites in games.
So far this season...MSU and UCLA, with Maryland a distinct possibility.
Not true? Ever hear of Spenser Petras or Deacon Hill. And going back a ways, Jay Christensen or James Vandenberg (who took every snap in a 4-8 season). And are really going to try and make a case for McNamara? When he is actually healthy, which is rare, he was still highly ineffective. I think I'm done with you. No point arguing with someone that doesn't recognize facts. Welcome back! I had almost forgotten what a miserable SOB you are.
Hmm…. Thank goodness that doesn’t happen to anybody else, oh wait it does actually.
Iowa State, USC, Oklahoma, etc. etc. keep pretending like Iowa is unique. They are not if you’re expecting this team or your favorite team to win 90+ percent of their games you need to go follow Ohio State or this version of Alabama or Georgia at least until they don’t win 90% of their games
I can’t believe how spoiled Iowa fans have gotten over the years. Five years of losing seasons will do the fan base good.
It's kinda funny, and so 2024, that wild speculation and cries that the whole FB program is in shambles, the staff has lost the team, and guys are jumping ship left and right...
All to find out one guy made a buisness decision to sit, making sure he stays healthy for the upcoming draft.
1 guy. The horror.
🤣

You said this…
“”””Kids at other positions had better not make any mistakes or they may wind up standing on the sideline.””””
And it’s made up. He gives players lots of chances.
You are indeed, right about arguing with somebody “like you“ who refuses to embrace reality
Hmmmm, really…..talk to me about that. A non competitive 3-8? Poor talent or very young talent….let’s compare. Not even remotely accurate.
So you either are that a unknowledgeable or just being disingenuous… KFs last 10 years have actually been his best 10 years, whereas Hayden‘s last 10 years were far away his worst.
Not even close actually… So again, tell me how they compare
So far this year K-st who has a coach many of your patriots would love to have have lost games as 7 1/2 pt favorites, 13 point favorite and a 7 1/2 point favorite.
Whoaaaasa who knew? Thank goodness, he isn’t our coach. People that compartmentalize things into such tight packages have always baffled me.
Now wait a second, Trump just won the election because so many people are crying about not having enough money to live and you are talking about poor Brad H having to beg for Swarm dollars.
I really cant justify donating to college athletes who can leave in a year, not be very good, etc. I have better places to put my donations.
If this whole NIL and player payments shit starts to balance out maybe with some ceilings on payments etc to level the competitive playing field and if it looks like the hawks could get a few national top caliber players maybe I would donate.
But to me right now this is like throwing money in a bonfire
Once the team has achieved every possible goal that it can for that season (for Iowa, it's bowl eligibility), then I say every man for himself. If a player quits with bowl eligibility on the line or while in a conference title/playoff race, that is dishonorable.
Anything else?
Add to the quandary is Iowa fans seeing the lack of ROI on Cade using NIL $$$.
Um, because he'll be playing for a big NFL contract, not just the sentiments of his college football team's fan base?
Yeah, one of the best things about college sports is watching those new players come aboard, grow, play, get better, and be a star. And you could watch them for 3-5 years with redshirt time
Time to watch D3 WARTBURG destroy their competition.
A much purer game.
Screw the D1 money grab mercenary game for awhile.
Return to D1 if/when it gets contracts.

Well our DB that just quit won’t make much of a pro. Maybe a special teams guy. He was crap at UCLA. Frankly I won’t lose any sleep if he flames out. Bad approach for him.
So glad I've been living rent-free in your head during your board sabbatical.
You'll smile if the team starts to totally suck? And you claim to be some kind of superfan so far above everyone else? LOL
Yeah, coaches are never responsible for their players being inconsistent and underperforming. LOL
Link to my thinking this? TIA
Link to my claiming this? TIA
He’s projected to go mid round. UCLA tape and quitting on his team isn’t helping his draft stock. There is value to having your school and alumni supporting you if playing in the NFL doesn’t work out. Which for most 5th-7th round picks, it doesn’t.
Thanks for this….link to me saying I was a super fan. Oh right there isn’t one. Me pointing out your character flaws makes me a super fan….🥰
5 years of losing seasons will put 45k in the stands. This is not the old NCAA days or 80s90s etc. this is real time. Spoiled? We need to be prepared to get RUN over. Different game and time. It is not CFB anymore. It is semi-pro and players ducking out and having 6-7 game win seasons are not going to put peoples asses in the stands. Those days are over.
Better have a big checkbook and a staff that knows what to do in the current marketplace.
Maybe not quit the team (contract) but quit running hard or giving 100% if his team doesn't have a chance for the playoffs and SB. A good partial season is not a resume builder but a good full season is.
Also favored in ISU game. Hawks have lost 4 of last 6 at at home vs ISU. Only one of those ISU teams finished over .500 and that's this years team.
Whatever happened to love of the game, at the very minimum? Seriously, you signed up to play the game of football. It’s becoming one giant joke.
Well that’s good Iowa had a 7 win season in 9 years and only 3 in the same time frame not including 6-2 Covid & this year, so that’s good!
