I've always wondered how much of this support was toleration of mediocre play and how much was idolization of KF. Probably a lot of both.

I think everyone on this thread is trolling including myself.

Well, the reward might be a win for Iowa in regulation. Two scores of 8 points equals 16 points added to Iowa's initial score of 9 for a 25-24 win for Iowa in regulation. What's the point of winning in regulation? Only the nose knows.

There are so many things to scratch one's head over the schemes at Iowa under KF.

I think Spivey lasted all of 3 years in the pros and all with the Lions. His high draft status allowed him a high draft contract and no one wanted to, IMO, 'experiment' with him with so much money on the line. He wasn't a good corner. Well, he was from Iowa during KF's reign so that was a given.

Jackson (and King), for examples, were/are standouts at corner for Iowa because they were/are freakishly, freakishly talented athletically. Prater and pre-2009, Godfrey, are other Iowa corners that come to mind who played corner in the pros. Spivey had a very short cup of coffee in the...

Do you think the coach who 'failed to understand the ramifications of failing to get the 2 point conversion after the <first> score' was KF or, maybe, someone else?

KF does play the odds and going for 2 down a one point PAT and one score (8 points) isn't the acceptable thing to do coaching wise and statistically speaking. Maybe someone on the Iowa coaching staff was attempting to win the game in regulation 25-24 with two 2 point PATs? This is not a...

Mebe WRs hands are being beaten up and, therefore, have not feeling in them from all the blocking they are required to do.:confused: This coaching staff (and fan base) prides itself on its making of excuses.:p

Iowa's offense will get better, the frosh OLinemen and QB, for examples. Unfortunately, Iowa's offense won't get any more prolific..it won't be any more potent than it is now.

Iowa's passing line the last two weeks was 8-24 against Wisconsin and 16-33 against Purdue. That comes to a 24-57 passing completion percentage (42%) for the two games. If it's true Iowa's WRs dropped 15 catchable balls in the last two games, that theoretically would bring the total of caught...

Stanley has a rocket for an arm but his throws aren't accurate. His throws lack touch. When Stanley attempts a touch pass, the ball looks like quail being shot out of the sky

Sometimes you have poignant things to say but in this case you are dead wrong. I don't mind the anthem being protested. Everyone has that right. Just as everyone has the right to revere the anthem. The NFL player protestation of the national anthem is a BLM protest. Protestors aren't...

Yeah. I guess I'm stuck. A defense that DOESN'T want to get off the field that can't cover the pass and sometimes can't cover the run and NEVER applies pressure to the opposing QB is a good defense?? Well, you're being an advocate of mediocre football if you think Iowa's defense is a great...

Maybe you should be thanking me? Or is the only acceptable bitching to be done at the offense?

Or maybe it's John Miller that's foisted this BS on everyone.

Why didn't you just leave your post at 'I just want mediocre Iowa football?'

I don't understand why you guys don't want Iowa to be a better football team...A more Wisconsin-like football team. Yeah, Iowa's points allowed by the defense stat is impressive but their pass defense and (in the Wisconsin game) rush defense is pathetic. Iowa's defensive pass rush is...

I think Jackson's real problem with the NFL will be the pass defense techniques the Iowa program didn't teach him. He'll really have to make up for those deficiencies with lots of athleticism which he, apparently, already has.

Didn't you see that massive fail of pass coverage that Rugumba employed in the end zone in the second half? How about the over 100 yards of rushing by Wisky's tailback in the first half? What the heck are your obvious mediocre standards for defense? And your reply is Iowa's defense is better...
