Uhhh... No

Agree with OP. Kirk is in survival mode now. He knows it. Too many years of staying stagnant led to MSU, Wisky, and now - Minnesota - pass us by

Your response answered your own question.

The problem we all have with Iowa State: They beat us

What I struggle most with re: Iowa football is that the gap has widened between us and several schools ... Imagine what MSU and Ohio State would do to us? Imagine what Michigan will do to us. We are fortunate to be in the West division. We "should" get 8 wins with this schedule ... Losing to a...

Oh here we go … someone just itching to tell us the rest of us what it was like “back in the day” when Iowa football was horrible. Well guess what, the University of Chicago was a national powerhouse at one time. My point: Things change; you can’t live in the past … and never settle for...
