An Optimistic Fan's View

Phil said we can rotate like crazy, so our d should not have been as wore out as you make it. Cook and his receivers did so well because the windows were large enough to do so. That also explains why our lb's have more int's than our db's and safeties. Like i said, our d starts and ends with the front 7. That is even a bucket with holes. We have to blitz to try and force an erroneous pass, because we do not have the de's of the past (yet). The combo of a sub par secondary along with having to blitz is what is keeping this d from being the talk of the nation. Just a question, if the windows are so big that it is catch after catch, why not put law in and let him go? If they are going to catch it anyway why not make them pay for it and atleast have that floating around in their head a little.

There is no room for optimism on this board! How dare anyone find anything positive about this year. This is a board for whining and complaining only.
Iowa is 4-2 but the wins don't count because they were against bad teams and the losses are horrible losses because they were against bad teams. The best QB and RBs are not being played which is the same every year under Ferentz. He only plays seniors even if they are horrible.
Everything is bad! I hate life!
Everything you posted, here, was rhetoric.. No facts, just trying to change people's minds... and trying to make the poster feel small for their post.
 




This thread is great. Now all the blind people can stay in this one and the realist can all get a long on the the others.

If you think 10-2,9-3,8-4,7-5, is gonna happen I feel bad for you cause you're only setting yourselves up for disappointment. No way we beat Ohio State, Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Nebraska at their place(Maybe at home). We beat Purdue and maybe Michigan at Kinnick. If we couldn't beat Michigan State at home, then don't play the home field advantage card cause obviously it doesn't matter. Their offense was comparable to my middle schools B-team offense and they did whatever they wanted last Saturday.
 




Took is as such. You're pro-Ferentz, right?

No, I am not pro-Ferentz. I don't understand what is going on with Ferentz and/or his staff. I want him to succeed at Iowa solely because I want this team/program to succeed. No matter what I will cheer for Iowa, regardless of who is the HC of the football team.
 


This thread delivers. I absolutely agree with the OP. If you are expecting anything less than 10-2 and being ****** off because we are left out of the championship game, then you aren't a real fan. You should just all get out right now. You obviously hate the Hawks.
 




Right on count me as one of the true Hawkeye fans. My goal is 10 or more football wins per year and 30 or more in basketball.
 


I agree with the OP. Every Saturday is a new day in college football, and upsets happen all the time. Hang tough Hawkeye fans.
 










I think if last year they went to a bowl game a lot less people would be such pessimistic, dramatic cry babies. I won't even say fans because fans suggests that you enjoy watching and cheering for the team. I think a lot of people on here just enjoy complaining.
 


Yes people play lites out against iowa and we are isu's bowl game. Or we seem to be able to allow other teams to look good. Sometimes we are able toto be a thorn in the side and play a close one. That about sum it up?
 


I think when we are setting up non cons, we should use this. "you can play wisky or nebby for 300000 and get totally embarrassed or you can play us for 200000the and we will make you look good. Heck you may even beat us."
