So is this the unofficial birth of the "start the backup" off-season thread? We should have had Wiegers in the whole time? Ryan Boyle would have won us a NC? Peyton Mansell is clearly the superior athlete and QB?
My fiancé is a UT alum... and she just kept rolling her eyes every time he talked. The only positive that comes from his commentary is the way he drawls out "Booger."
You're right. That's why he's only been the starter for two seasons and is one of only a handful of backs with back-to-back 1000 yard seasons at Iowa. C'mon man, this thread is about how AWESOME Wadley is, not about that other negative garbage.
BUT BUT BUT... he had more games per season and had crappy non-con schedules, and it was boring to watch, it's bland football, and nepotism, and he's no Hayden Fry... and blah blah blah.
Some people have an problem with saying something is good enough. When in reality, sometimes good enough is good enough. But if you always expect perfection then you'll always be disappointed.
Even if we went 12-0 this season, people would have said "yeah but look at the games where we only...
What disconnect are you talking about? If you mean the ranking itself? It's a couple of things. Volume for one. Schools that signed 25 2 and 3 star recruits will have a better ranking simply on volume. Then there's also needs filled. You can sign all the 5* QBs and RBs in a class, but...
Problem is, as soon as you say "yeah, but Hayden was 20 years ago almost" you get blasted by the HFBFF brigade telling us how stupid we are for not knowing that HF was better than KF in every way possible. Apparently Iowa coaching is like Highlander: there can be only one (good coach in the...
There are some people on this board who have REALLY long memories when it comes to Kirk Ferentz, but forget things like what you're saying when it comes to HF. I think it's an age differential thing.
Those rankings also do not include the handful of recruits that we've heard about that have signed their LOI to Iowa but haven't been announced yet. Just give it a little time until those are announced and I think we'll be in or near the top 25.
Maybe if we knew what the post was the really set it over the line, it might help in the future. I'm pretty sure I was posting in the offending thread, but I'm not sure if it was anything I said.
Guaranteed money, yes. But guaranteed NFL longevity or the chance to start? We'll never know. It's possible (I'm not saying it's true) that the extra year of seasoning got him to a better position to start and stay in the pros, thus extending his career and money ceiling. The problem is that...
Usually, if you want to remove outliers, you remove them from both the top and the bottom. So you'd need to drop an equal number of the lowest output games (like Wisconsin). All you did is prove my point, that you can't just willy-nilly throw out data points without good reason. And you...
And if you remove the games where it rained within 6 days on either side of the game and add in the last few games of KOK' OC career, and multiply that by the number of Tom Brady touchdowns in 2012.... Split stats are only useful in certain situations. Arbitrarily creating stats splits like you...
