It's the threads topic...Well if you think it helps I suppose. It wouldn’t me…
Why would you want to give money to NIL when you know that kid might not produce squat because the offense is ran so bad. I think I'd put it in stocks because I think 2023 is going to be a very very good year with a little early volatility.I got that too.
I do. I’m just being difficult.But you understand what I was getting at?
I think your glass, is "way to full" for most here. I'm with you though. I may be disappointed that somekind of meaningful change didn't occur, but there's no sense in getting bent out of shape about something I have NO control over and nothing is happening for the next 6 1/2 months anyway.There's a lot to be hopeful for. We play championship level football on defense and special teams right now. If we can get the offense to click, we could have our best run. I understand the offense has been bad. Our head coach says it's been a combination of injuries, youth, and attrition that caught up to us. He usually ends being right. Message board jockeys are often wrong. I'm all for giving Brian some slack at this point because the decision has been made. Since it's been decided that he will be the OC, I sincerely hope he gets redemption. I don't subscribe to the notion that we're screwed because of him. I think if we get the injuries/youth/attrition thing in a better spot, he will look a lot better as OC. In the end, I still trust KF. We're on the verge of being really good. We just need to get better on offense. Let's support our guys and see if they can figure it out. I won't be at all surprised if they do.

That high school quarterback that was going to get 250k a month at Florida that is now going to ASU? The only way that was going to turn out well was if he was the next Tim Tebow.Why would you want to give money to NIL when you know that kid might not produce squat because the offense is ran so bad.

Thanks cm. I've been waiting for the opportunity to call people names and be demanding but thr old lady is home so i have someone to bug in person. I rarely drink but when i did some of the Chicago bars were very shocking coming from a town of 500 people. Beers a lot cheaper here. Honestly i haven't had a beer since June. Thanks for acknowledging my juvenile behavior today!!!You may not remember me saying this, but I live in Chicagoland. Actually, I live in Bourbonnais, which is about an hour south down 57 but you are correctamundo the price of beer in Chicago is absolutely asinine!!
Well, if you’re out and about that is and by the way, I don’t drink ever when I’m out and about. In fact, I didn’t drink at all for 17 years. I just picked it back up recently, why I do not know… With that said, Binny’s is a great place to buy alcohol, and it’s very reasonable.
Every thread gets, no matter how it begins, hijacked into an anti-Btian tirade. How constantly repeating the same thing over and over again helps you miserable people is beyond me.Maybe don't open and read through the threads that you don't agree with? Just a thought.
You guys shouldn't let if affect you.Every thread gets, no matter how it begins, hijacked into an anti-Btian tirade. How constantly repeating the same thing over and over again helps you miserable people is beyond me.

I agree with your theory. I have always believed and do still to do this day that KF considers himself an "O" coach with a very conservative offensive scheme that he owns. It works when he has a very good QB and skill players, but it does not work when he has an average offensive unit. I truly believe that Kirk steers the offense and overrides his offensive coordinators. He slowly adapts and this is the downfall of KOK, Greg Davis and Brian. Watch any video of Iowa games since 1999 and you will see KF with the microphone on and yapping when Iowa is on "O" and and the Microphone is up and there is no input when we are on "D"I personally don’t get it myself. If I’m the Head Coach with a limited window of coaching left in the tank, I’m getting the best OC I can as well as QB coach that also recruit the best to help get the program over the hump to win the B1G and compete in the play offs before retiring.
It’s as if KF has always wanted to minimize success so people don’t expect a high level of success on an annual basis. Let’s not win too much or people will expect we win 10 games every year and compete for a B1G championship.

We can all agree Brian sucks, but honestly isn’t anyone tired of going over it again and again and again?
Hell I hope they dump him just so we can have a new guy to bitch about!
Is there ever going to be a time we can just be semi positive about the team?
Maybe we can split the board for those that want to talk about Brian all the time and the rest of us?
I’m sick and tired of the guy and I didn’t care for him in the first place, but this a good team with a solid upward trajectory and the defensive coaches that many of you laud apparently really like Kirk Ferentz that should mean something!
If we get this Lber that’s a big deal and I was laying in bed last night remembering players like Max Llewelyn, Pittman and Brian Allen, that showed some flashes that we haven’t even got to see play yet.
Is there any point in time we can quit talking about this other guy?
It is hard not to be affected when the non-stop complaining and whining shows up in every thread.You guys shouldn't let if affect you.
The complaining is coming from Iowa fans who want the best for the Iowa football program, who believe it can be better than it is in its current state, and who think our AD and HC should believe that the standard for Iowa football should be higher than 25 points and 7 wins.It is hard not to be affected when the non-stop complaining and whining shows up in every thread.
I’d go as far to say, that if someone isn’t upset about it as an iowa fan or at least admit the terrible spot we are in, then they are part of the problem.The complaining is coming from Iowa fans who want the best for the Iowa football program, who believe it can be better than it is in its current state, and who think our AD and HC should believe that the standard for Iowa football should be higher than 25 points and 7 wins.

I would think with just the "Y".LOL….. well so it does & lookey there I’m the one that started it!!
I guess I’m slipping, on a side note do you think you spell looky with an ey or just the Y?
I suggested Barta for the cost of beer in Chicago when we play at Wrigley. More about beer prices than Barta though. My boss forgot to order a patching material so i had to use a sander all day instead of working on the computer. He'd be a good one but he's a nice guy.Did we come up with anyone else yet?

Huge upgrade at receiver?!? I’ll have what you are having!just a bump. Jesus, the coaches are not going to change, that is now a fact. Pointless to have 150 posts a day about Brian Ferentz. All the sarcasm isn't healthy for the people doing it and it is boring the hell out of everyone else.
Can we stop talking about Brian until spring practice and we see what a more talented and experienced offense looks like? Huge upgrade at QB, WR and RT will impact offensive performance.
And guard or center with Feth. It's not a person but my colon is pissin me off. I'm really constipated. Regardless I'm still holding firm we get 10 or 11 wins next season. I don't care who is oc if we get wins like that.just a bump. Jesus, the coaches are not going to change, that is now a fact. Pointless to have 150 posts a day about Brian Ferentz.

It's one guy but Anderson is the most dynamic wr we've had in a while.Huge upgrade at receiver?!? I’ll have what you are having!
Like you said it’s one guy. And we’ve lost four of our best five receivers lately, all who had eligibility remaining. Hope Anderson is a stud but let’s call it like it is.It's one guy but Anderson is the most dynamic wr we've had in a while.
I can't tell how deep we are but am really comfortable with Anderson, Nico, and Vines. The OhioSt transfer may actually be a gem we don't know about. His highschool stats and film was really impressive. He just wasn't going to play behind all those 4 and 5 star stud wrs at buckeyeland.Like you said it’s one guy.

I mean Nico is a good slot guy. But I’d rather have Tracy, Keagan, and Arland in the top three slots. 🤷♂️I can't tell how deep we are but am really comfortable with Anderson, Nico, and Vines.

Who played last year. Not Johnson. Vines was only available for 5 games. Brecht was available for only 5 games. Arland IV never really learned the position, he has not yet learned how to get open field separation.Huge upgrade at receiver?!? I’ll have what you are having!
You are overlooking the impact of your argument. Johnson barely played at Iowa last season. Bruce is unknown, was it the shitty QBing or did he just not develop from a do everything HS player to a college level receiver. Neither Jones nor Tracy played a down for Iowa last season. Tracy didn't play much at Purdue for that matter.Like you said it’s one guy. And we’ve lost four of our best five receivers lately, all who had eligibility remaining.

I predict Anderson will be closer to 50 catches than 25 and his ypc is going to be north of 13. If Brecht stays healthy and stays with football and Vines gets some more experience, and Nico is Nico, the receiving group will be enormously improved.

Really? What level did he play at last season?It's one guy but Anderson is the most dynamic wr we've had in a while.
He played at Georgia Southern. I get the point but if you watch his tape he's going up and getting balls that we haven't had anyone capable of that other than some practice catches talked about. Regatdless of his competition last year the level he played at and the catches themselves are at a level beyond our recent receivers. That's blatantly plain to see.Really? What level did he play at last season?
I'll say it in a literal response. He played at a level far beyond Keegan or Bruce ever have or will. Heck just catching a ball with his hands would be an improvement over either of them.Really? What level did he play at last season?
