Some of you posters are ridiculous

Move on with the pessimistic shit the wisky d made our offense look bad.Get over it the coaches are not going anywhere for a while next up Purdue last home game for seniors let's enjoy it
 
If the offense plays with some pride and gets beat then I have no problem.

However, when the o-line plays like a bunch of scared wimps, the receivers are scared to catch a pass because they're going to get hit, the quarterback plays like his head is up his ass, and the coaches (Brian Ferentz) call plays that an 8-man high school football team could spot then I'm going to complain about it.
Agree, but two freshman tackles Iowa rolls the dice each week. Wirfs played like a senior last week, and a freshman today.
 
We've looked better against the top 3 in the east than we have vs most the west.....

Only because we played two of the three games at home and had a historic win against Ohio State (credit where credit is due). Iowa is 2-2 against the mighty West. The two wins came at home. They had one good game where they put it all together and, amazingly, it was against Ohio State. Even against the powerful Fighting Illini at home they sucked almost the entire first half before wearing them down by late 3rd quarter. We're really reaching for straws here to prop up how bad this offense is and how mediocre overall this team is, aren't we? This is a Quicklane Bowl team and they'll likely get blown out if they play as "high" as the Music City Bowl (or whatever it's called; hopefully Iowa won't have to play Mississippi State, South Carolina, or any bowl eligible SEC team this year. Iowa could use a bowl win even if it's against Akron).

FAU scored twice on that defense. put up nearly 300 yards.

They made Iowa's offense look bad? They got a great defense sure. That aint no "hold a team to 66 yards great of a defense" no ****ing way. lowest total yards of any big ten team EVER against Wisconsin.. but yeah, totally just their D making our offense look bad :rolleyes:

what store do I pick up this crazy juice ya'll are drinking? at this point, I'd rather be fked up and delusional about this team vs seeing who they really are

Their defense made our offense look bad... LOL sorry needed another laugh

I don't know. Lost? Inept? Out of rhythm?

The "one word" thing is tricky (but a fair question).... I guess what I was trying to say is I don't experience emotions like shame or embarrassment when I watch 20 year old students play a game.

I'm NOT in any way trying to defend this team and I'm not talking about everyone that's unhappy today (I am definitely unhappy). One of the things that really pisses me off is its easy to get backed into that corner just because you don't think the coaching staff deserves to be shot.

That was definitely in the top 5 worst games I've ever seen an Iowa team play. I just don't experience the same level of frustration demonstrated on this message board every week.

If I was that miserable (or embarrassed) I would walk away (which I did with the basketball team during the Lick years). I'm not advocating or even wishing people did that.... I just don't get what keeps them around.

The hope of being relevant...like we were in 2015. Iowa football is a rollercoaster ride, you have to admit that.
 
Taking time to criticize those who are here to let off steam is another level of d bag. The offense once again let the defense down. The number of games that this scenario has played out in KF's tenure is nit good. And yes, his salary matters.
 
We have played well in 3 of 4 losses this year today was hard to watch this is not a bad coaching staff or team chill out we could be a nebby or Tennessee fan base those are bad teams and will be looking for a new coach be grateful

You’re right, that showing against Northwestern was stellar.
 
Brian Ferentz and the entire Iowa offense should be completely ashamed of themselves.

That was a performance worthy of the toilet.

I would like to add, Excuses always excuses for this coaching staff. No other team has young players, injuries or some other problem.
Coach Ferentz is a good guy but is time think about getting better.

So you had Iowa at 12-0 again this year. Like last year. And the year before. And before that.
 
The most ridiculous post on this site is nowhere near as ridiculous as the embarrassment that took place in Madison yesterday. And, as far as I know, none of the posters on here are being paid $4 million a year, nor do they have a staff full of other highly-paid professionals whose only job is to figure out how to play a competitive football game. Yesterday was a massive failure, one of a legion of such failures under KF.

Losing happens. Putting an offensive team on the field that looks like it never saw a football before is a whole different level.

This!
 
I told you guys in the pre-game threads, less experience and Freshmen tackles with baby fat on them were not going to be able to go head to gead with Wisconsin. This loss was not on the Stanley, he had no time to throw. We could not Run, they owned the line of scrimmage.this was a case of boys squaring off against men with 30 lbs more muscle. Additionally, we have less experience on how to handle movement.
 
You have to be realistic. Iowa cannot be expected to keep up with the Michigans, Ohio States and Wisconsins every year.

The Purdue defense is going to bitch slap this offense. Their defense is ranked higher than ours and they like to blitz.
Book it.

I don't think they're drinking. I think I know the stores where they bought their party favors, probably in Oregon or Washington. "Wisconsin scored again? That's cool, man. Hey, where's that vape, dude?"
 
We are a pretty good team at home and flat and lathargic on the road. I like Kirk but things need to change or we will get blown out in another bowl game. We have a lot of young talent as we seen last week. I didn't expect a win today but a more competitive game offensiveley. Defense did what they could despite losing the field position battle the entire game.

What should we be paying?

$3M gets you this guy
ct-lovie-smith-hiring-fan-perspective-spt-0309-20160308

Or this guy $3.5M
jea-0761-p-j-fleck-jpg.jpg

$500K raise next year to $4M

You could go cheap $2.8 M and get a guy like this

I guess a lot of tOSU, Michigan State and Georgia fans should stay off the boards as they were all man handled, and if you cannot see that, they maybe you should stay off the f**king board. Pretty pathetic response if you ask me as every team gets beat down on occasion. Maybe people should consider being fans instead of douchbags.
Hmmm, 37 likes for my post vs. 2 for yours. I think it’s pretty clear who the douche bag is.
 
We're not going to win every game.

We're a good team. We got beat today by a great team. Very good things are ahead for the Hawkeyes, we're playing a lot of young guys.

Maybe I just need to stay off this board after a loss. You guys carry on.
So was OSU just an average team? We showed life and creativity vs OSU. We looked like a "new to D1 football" team vs Wiscy (after putting up 50+pts on then #6 OSU and all their 5* recruits).

NW put up nearly 300yds
Nebby put up over 300yds
Mary put up over 200yds
Indy put up over 200yds
Ill put up over 200yds
Utah State over 200yds and 10 pts in 1st qrt
Fl Atl put over 200yds and 14pts in the fist half.

Iowa - 66 yds, zero offensive pts.
 
Agree, but two freshman tackles Iowa rolls the dice each week. Wirfs played like a senior last week, and a freshman today.
They played better competition in OSU (even without Bosa) and destroyed them. "Freshman" is an excuse now as they have played enough to know what to do.
