Sure. Because it’s only Iowa State fans who think it. Excellent point, as usual, Captain Dipshit. 🙄
Why would you want to discuss Wisconsin when have ultimate in offensive debacles. Just when finishing 123 in Total Offense last year wasn’t bad enough all you had to do was wait a year.
He was a good coach but an even better AD. Although Bielema, Andersen and Chryst got the car keys, the common denominator was that they all did it King Barry’s way. Bielema and Andersen more or less left because of the relative lack of autonomy.
Wisconsin has won 10 or more games 4x under Chryst and is 6-1 in Bowl games. Not bad.
That man, Barry Alvarez. had been part of 6, yes 6, Rose Bowl teams at Wisconsin. Carry on though looking like a dumb ass. Mic 🎤 drop.
Nebraska is one decent hire away from being right back to the table with Iowa and the ilk. They have an AD who has not made any previous hires there so to assume he'll screw it up as bad as his predecessors might be foolish to think.
Probably correct. KF spends time when given it to complain about the blocking rules as you pointed out. I get what he is saying, in that the defense can just run to the ball without worry of being blocked/chopped. But at some point, it becomes obvious that a lot of the coaches don't agree with you and like the rules the way they are. So either coach to the way the rules are being enforced or move on. The o-line is also given a lot more leeway now on being downfield when the pass is thrown. This makes it very hard to defend the RPO stuff.
You can debate all day long on what the coaches think or not, who they agree with or not, but at the end of the day Iowa's skill position spots and OL have been failing big-time in recent years. I think we'd agree on that.
I only see it from the folks who are negative 100% of the time. The fire Kirk guys like you.
I have never once said Kirk Ferentz should be fired at this point in his career, for one.
Exactly with Barry being completely gone the Wisconsin program is not the dominate program as it was with him as HC and now as the AD over seeing the program. Last few years other teams like Iowa and NW 2x taking the West from them. They aren't clear cut top of the West division and been so since 18' season. Have one 1 division crown in past 4 years and looking like it could be a 5th. Maybe didn't phrase it the best but with Barry leaving the Wisconsin athletic dept. the Badgers looks like they could be gradually slipping back to the rest of the pack within the West.
Love him or hate him Bert is a good fb coach. He has them on the upswing.
There could be a far stronger case iowa had slipped than has Wisconsin. Your envy/jealousy is showing through.
Iowa has nothing to do with the Badgers play past few years minus 1 win if they are slipping or not more or less. It's irrelevant. But since you bring it up Iowa has been pretty steady with 9, 10, 10 wins non covid years and 2nd best in that season for the West. In fact in that time frame I alluded to since 18' both have had pretty similar records with 1 division title a piece against NW's 2. I think Wisc. has a better shot at the West with a more competent offense and Allen at RB over iowa this year but not the favorite which right now has to be MN. Look at the past 2 1/2 seasons. Wisconsin is not as dominate as they once were against the West be it others have improved and gap has closed as the West is up for grabs among many teams not named NW or NU this year. As for jealousy doesn't change my opinions posted but I think most Iowa fans feel that way since 10' and the fake punt game and how the head to head and over all seasons have played out unlike most of the 00s where Iowa got the better of them and that use to be us.
Surprising. Winning in the Rose Bowls on the big stage something Fry and Ferenz have not done cemented his legacy. 5 wins over 500, Barry Alvarez is overrated as he was good at promoting his legacy
