I get the gist of the post. I get the gist of data. And I don't terribly disagree with it. I also get the gist of "any given Saturday". I get the gist of teams evolving. I also get the idea that Iowa is Iowa State's Super Bowl....or at least the idea that a rivalry game like this changes...

I'm just happy to watch successful football. When was the last time Iowa was #3 in scoring in the Big 10 (2nd if Oregon wasn't in yet)? A QB who rarely looks "lost" or helpless. KJ doing KJ things. 2 other punishing backs. An effective offensive line. True complimentary football.

This all being said. I dunno how I would feel if they brought in McNamara for a random series. Or a couple snaps. I'm always a fan of throwing curve balls. I'd either be thrilled or ticked. I suppose, if it worked I'd say it was brilliant. If it didn't, I'd call for Ferentz' job.

I dunno. I think they're just not that good. I mean, they're good, but not "that" good. Good enough to win every game they should. But not good enough to win every game they could. They've been lucky to win those coulda games. But it's tough to rely on that for a whole season. Oddly, i think...

That's nearly 2 full games. Kurt will be loyal.

41 point avg with Sully as the "starter"

Again. How many first downs did he get with his feet? 4?

No.

I just don't think he's do it. If he did, i think Lester would be on the phone with Goetz.. When was the last time an Iowa QB averaged 41 points a game? We know how Beth loves her some PPG avgs.

Let's gooooooooo.

Oh, ISU. That's just too bad. Just terrible. I feel so bad for them.

Been hooked on Colin Hay as a solo artist for going on 20 years now. One heckuva guitar player and a really deft songwriter. Saw him a few years back. Perfer his new stuff over Men At Work covers. His acoustic version of "Overkill" is pretty terrific though. Love "Waiting for my Real Life To...

It kind of was the highest value play we had. In terms of achieving a meaningful result at a very high level of success. Either a 1st down or a TD almost every time it was run. Kinda hard to argue against it's value.

I did not want Matt Rodgers playing. Now, part of it, I attended the same high school as the late Tom Poholsky. I was really proud of that. Not many St. Louisans in Iowa City, let alone from my high school. And if you know anything about St. Louis, you will know that what high school you went to...

Total agreement. That's my argument. Brain was "the o-line guy" for a coach who's always relied on an the o-line. And he didn't execute. QB though....other than (as noted, limited data corrupts)....also "draft" status does not necessarily correlate to college success: 3 Iowa QBs have been...

This is an interesting angle. I mean, mix the fact that when Maryland and Rutgers came along...it gave us the unbalanced schedule and sometimes took OSU/Michigan/PSU off the schedule. But, I do recall in the halcyon days Kirkball, that we weren't edging out NDSU 7-5 or whatever. I mean, that's...

So Brain was the O line coach from 2012-2016 And the OC from there forward. I remember when he was hired as the o-line coach. Made sense. Kirk teams had been producing draftable offensive linemen for years. Very system/fundamental oriented players. Who better to know that system than Brain...

I caught it real time. On rewatch, it was actually an even greater effort.

Then again, Iowa has stuffed opponents at home in the first quarter. I'm not sure anyone has a touchdown against Iowa in the first quarter in Kinnick all season. Course, now that I've said that.

I hate losing to Wisconsin more than any other team in the Big 10. For one, I mostly like their fans and I like them as a college and football program. Although I think Jump Around is laaaaaame...like when they play Country Roads at St. Louis Blues hockey games. It just doesn't make sense to me...
