Maybe we all need a group hug.

No, not a Negative Nancy. Re-read my OP, it's Debbie Downer. And we'll have to disagree, but in my opinion, a 6-4 win at Penn State a few days after KF's dad died and a 33-7 victory over a team that was ranked as high as 9th in the 2004 polls is not the same thing as beating a bottom tier...

Nope. This team should be, at worse, 6-6.

I would agree 25 points is a fair spread.

The offense needs to, at minimum, put up more than they did against NIU (20pts). I think to consider it a successful game offensively the benchmark should be 30.

Re: Most Damning Instance of the fact that Kirk F "Just does not grasp what is happen And there lies the issue with running a 3-4 (Cover 4/Cover 2) defensive scheme. Successful execution of the Cover 4/Cover 2 requires getting quick pressure on the QB otherwise it exposes your secondary too...

That's what I'm not sure about. If I'm a 250lbs heavyweight fighter and I beat up on a 110lb light weight do I really feel better about my abilities. It makes for good practice, but I can't say it would give me more confidence the next time I'm in the ring with a more equal opponent.

I absolutely agree. But if we squeak out a 7 point victory, will it really be seen as a win or will it serve as more fodder for the message boards (of course people will always find something to gripe about)?

Quick somebody create a scandal involving hawkeyegamefilm so he loses the NFL gig and has to come back to HN.... :)

I'm really trying not to be Debbie Downer after last week's loss. I think it was a good measuring stick for this team. I'm not sure I feel that way about this week's match-up. Its against an FCS team that hasn't had a winning season in at least 3 years. SWMS is not even close to the level of...

Re: BLEACHER REPORT: Iowa Football Needs to Start Thinking About Replacements for Kir Beating a FCS team to end that streak will be about as gratifying as beating the Iowa City West JV Football team.

I'm not following you there. According to your stats there are over 9,000 more fans attending games now than when KF started. That wouldn't mean $529,320 in lost revenue it would mean more revenue.

In order for this to be successful the assumptions are (and they are big assumptions); 1. The selection/hiring new coach will generate an immediate excitement within the fan base thereby increasing demand for tickets and allowing the university to increase ticket costs. 2. The new coach...

At least we're undefeated in the moral victory column.

In some ways this team looks better, in other ways there are major concerns. Improvements: 1. Linbacker corps. While I don't rate them our best group ever, this is a solid group of guys that play smart. 2. Vertical Passing game. For the first time ever we seem to kind of sort of have one...
