I really didn’t read this board much over the last two weeks and I’m sure it greatly improved my sanity. Considering how it still is today?!
I went to see an old friend for the Iowa-Iowa State game… In fact it’s something I don’t normally do at this stage of my life, jump in a car drive 5/6 hours and hang out for the weekend with an old friend but I’m stretching myself and I had a great time even in the loss…
and I will readily agree the consensus for all of us was this team has to try another quarterback!! We were frustrated, mad and even sad, but…. we weren’t hateful and mean spirited. I don’t get it. I don’t even know how you could feel good about yourselves being that way?
or for that matter getting on a message board and letting everybody know you’re not gonna watch this crap anymore… What the hell is the f$&king point. Good don’t watch, then we won’t have to hear you !
A couple things though I don’t understand…
It seems some of you apparently have forgotten what it’s like to be an Iowa fan & then others don’t bother watching much other football….
as I said in another thread, Michigan is the fourth ranked team in the country and they have played three teams that are three of the worst teams in all of football…
Sagarins has CSU at 137th, Hawaii at 162nd & Connecticut at 173rd… South Dakota State and Iowa State would’ve beaten those three teams in a similar fashion to Michigan.
Purdue may have our number but they are not well coached! No reason to lose either of those 2 games?
is Notre Dame any good and if they aren’t then how good is Ohio State? I mean most of you guys have us winning 2,3,4 more games tops? Are you watching different games than I am?
I personally think Petras is a poor quarterback but I’m perfectly willing to let the coach that has been here for 23 years and he’s better now than he was then bury himself with that decision…
And I have a sneaking suspicion that we will end up being better than many of you guys that are constantly upset, think…
I was super happy to see someone bring out the old Hayden Fry and his brilliant offensive mind… Quick question for you…between the two, Hayden in 20 years & Kirk in 23. Who do you think has more games where they scored 10 points or less?
i’ve had friends sending me videos of our blocking in those first two games…
Guys, I have to tell you. No quarterbacks gonna look good in those scenarios and quite frankly that game Saturday had four or five and maybe even six of those balls that have to be caught, they absolutely have to be caught…!!
Brecht I’ll give the benefit of the doubt and even give some kudos to Spencer and the coaching staff for trotting him out there and throwing the ball to him deep several times… But a slightly above average wide receiver comes up with all those catches & LaPorta still is dropping catchable balls!!
This defense is sick!!! I’m not sure we have ever had this many play makers on the team… I mentioned Sebastian Castro preseason and that he was getting squeezed out yet there he is playing some and well. That doesn’t count Quinn Schulte who is an absolute revelation and a stud and Kaevon Meriwether who is having a terrific season. Terry Roberts wouldn’t even be starting if it wasn’t for Jamari Harris and he is a superstar… We have one of our linebackers hurt and yet we really haven’t missed a beat… We’ve got a couple defensive lineman hurt and they keep putting people in that play as good or better!
Which is again so bizarre for me to come on here and have people talking about three or four and six wins at the most. I mean it’s like they just became Iowa fans last week?!
If I get that bothered by something that I turn into a real jerk of a human being that is constantly complaining. I avoid it but not you guys…you double and triple down!!
