While your DH is (intentionally) ridiculous, I agree with your 2nd paragraph 100%. The people on this board who unconditionally defend KF claiming to be the "silent majority" is absolutely bullsh*t. Every single Iowa fan I know has been done with KF for years.
You mean the MSU team that is 1-5 in their last 6 games.We better not play like we did against MSU.
Doesn't matter, the that beat Iowa, and how piss poor the Hawks playedYou mean the MSU team that is 1-5 in their last 6 games.
Since your calling me out I've already said CLEARLY I would never want to see Hill play another snap at Iowa, and Cade only if Sullivan would be injured. Make what you want of that. I also have no idea at all where your getting this that I don't think Kirk has been wrong before. I've said before he screwed up plenty of times. I also think that some of the past "history" of QB decision has been overblown on whether or not some of those was as bad of decisions as people try to make them after 15-20 years have passed. Its very similar to the revisionist history some have of the super offense Fry supposedly had, when the facts show that he didn't score worth a damn against the really good teams either. I think people like to remember the highlights of the past and forget a lot of the things that didn't go nearly as well.
We should win this game, but we have a history of playing poorly on the west coast. They have a lot of speed on offense and a good QB. They will give us problems. Defensively they have been pretty good against the run. We need to play well next Friday.
You are the one spewing not just nonsense but TOTAL BULLSHIT !
Your memory is wrong about the Western Michigan loss in 2007. Stanzi was a redshirt freshman in 2007 who only threw 4 passes all year in mop up duty. I don’t believe he competed any of them. It was 2008 when the coaches played both Christensen and Stanzi in the early part of the season before Stanzi finally won the spot. Stanzi wasn’t exactly stellar early in the season. It was Christensen who came off the bench and helped the Hawks beat Iowa State in 2008. Eventually, yes Stanzi proved to be better but let’s not pretend he was great early on. We didn’t play Western Michigan in 2008. McCann had an excellent senior season in 2001 with Banks getting a fair amount of playing time as well. That was the correct decision. Rudock was a pretty good QB for the Hawks and there was no clear evidence that CJ was better at that point in his career. You are a history revisionist, but let’s be honest and accurate.
Lol you beat me to it.
No doubt. That was long before I joined the fray here. For the most part I've really enjoyed the discussion here the last 8years, even though we all go off the rails from time to time, (yours truly included)! For the most part (with a few exceptions) we share a common goal for our teams to do well, while not always agreeing on the best path to achieve that....
That and the "hidden yards", penalties and the like. Hopefully we return to the norm of leading the country in fewest penalties per game and not that 1st half zebra shit show from Saturday....
Boy Wonder was awful since day 1. People on here were saying, "give him a chance to learn". NEVER got even halfway decent.
I think Kirk has done few a things to alienate a sizeable segment of the fanbase. Sticking with Brian while rolling out the worst offense in football to become a subject of national ridicule didn't engender a lot admiration.
You're one of the few reasonable KF defenders, but there's no way you've actually talked yourself into believing this. KF keeping BF at OC/QB was 90% personal and 10% "best interest of the team" at best.
I was at all 3 of those games and was thinking of flying to Pasedena again but no late flights back. I feel like Iowa fits this but plenty of worry for sure
LOL. I didn't realize we knew so many of the same people. Which of my Hawkeye fan friends do you think is lying to me?
Actually he didn't. He did think failure was not an option, which is why it had the shelf life that it did. Same for Cade.
I've worried about this game since the beginning of the season. UCLA always has athletes at the skill positions and their QB can throw. If they hit some big plays it could be a dogfight.
A brutal schedule????????????? WTF are you smoking?
I don't see any game left for Iowa as a "trap" game. Winning out is the only thing left in this season for them. I think getting knocked on the head and on their asses at MSU was the wake up they needed. This team, now, seems locked and loaded for the rest of the season. I think they should win, but if they don't it won't be because they are looking past UCLA.
That's not a good Nebraska team. I doubt they win another game this year. With that said, matchup wise this game looks to be a lot closer than Iowa's last 2 games.
4 of their 5 losses were to teams that are ranked in the Top 15. 3 of those teams are ranked in the Top 10.
