    Iowa is 14-10 the past 2 seasons with all this NFL talent...

    As a fan you just suck at life, if you constantly lean towards the negative side of everything. It's like being in a relationship, it's not always going to be good, and you get spoiled by the things your partner does for you. Just like the ups and downs in CFB, and how spoiled/fickle fan bases...

    Cool Bowl Game Stat I Just Found:

    6-3 under Ferentz- with our only bowl losses coming to teams that came off of a National Championship (2006 Texas won BCS in '05) or would go on to win the next BCS Championship (2002 USC finished #1 in the final rankings in '03; and 2005 Florida would go on to win the '06 National...

    I've said it before in another thread, to be consistently good- you first have to be consistent. So yes, I'm pleased that we are consistently bowl eligible and win them more often than not. 6-3 under Ferentz- with our only bowl losses coming to teams that came off of a National Championship...

    Expect the Same Next Year

    Take a minute, think about it logically. What games will we be underdogs in Vegas for? Probably only 3. Then which game(s) do you have losing threw our 7 game (home vs PSU). At that point we will have only played 1 road game. Also keep in mind that this year, a year you think is not acceptable...

    Iowa has now underachieved 6 of the last 7 seasons

    your just like a kid visibly unhappy with a gift just after having it opened. Look at the season objectively. Even in our best years, we were not the same on the road. When has that not been the case? In order to be consistently "good" or "great" in your eyes we neeed 9 plus wins year in and...

    Chan Gailey? And his predecessor was all-world? George O'Leary (current UCF coach) was only 52-33 in 8 seasons at GaTech, you have to remember how much more competive the ACC was then versus now. I think there's arguements that could be made both ways. But the viscosity of coaching changes is...

    stanford is the product of one good QB. Look no further than, Cal and Rogers. they haven't been anything close to what they were when rogers was there. Also it was the case with Boston College and Matt Ryan. Or Jay Cutler and Vanderbilt. My examples of coaching changes were at smaller market-...

    that could be an arguement against channge, no? michigan? Kansas? Do you think Kansas State wished that Snyder never wallked away? Do you think Iowa State wish they never showed McCarney the door? what about Boston College and firing Jeff Jagodzinski for interviewing for the NY Jets job after...

    Expect the Same Next Year

    It was A&M and Texas, but Florida and Florida State fit that billing too. Throw in Arizona State, West Virginia, Mississippi State

    in 5 of their 6 losses for a&m- they had double digit leads. guess it's not just Iowa who does not live up to expectations or that cannot close out games Richt and Georgia started 0-2 after a couple of bad years (also made a QB change from a 3 year starter); stayed the course and i think have a...

    Tannehill, their RB, and Swope are just as good if not better than Vandenberg, Coker, and McNutt

    Expect the Same Next Year

    took that into consideration. are you not factoring in any developmental growth of our underclassmen? Our weakness will be our defensive line again, but thats said without being able to measure whats in the cupboard (particularly Cooper), and i've heard Derby is 10-15 lbs away from a potential...

    I am putting the over/under at 1 more game for the DC.

    I've always comically looked at KOK running a pro-style offense is like when someone who has driven automatic transmissions for the majority of his life jumps behind the wheel of stick. It's not llke he won't be able to move the car at all. I mean he was taught/shown how to do it before. He...

    we will be favored in 9 games, and will win 8. We will start no worse than 7-3 and people will still not be happy? (shrugs shoulders) :rolleyes:

    Kirk, if the NFL calls...

    so an inexperienced 3rd/4th string back (in our coaches eyes) would have won the game today? I actually place the blame on the OL, vandy had a lot of pressure, and did not open any holes. We knew Nebraska was going too run and they opened up holes. Execution. I saw multiple occasions when we...
