    Iowa has now underachieved 6 of the last 7 seasons

    2008 was not an underachieving year and considering how close the losses were that year it wasn't the biggest surprise that in 2009 with mostly the same starters those close games fell our way. I agree with most of everything else everyone is saying. Especially that 2010 was maybe the most...

    Mel needs to ride the Pine

    CGHawk, I am curious why you referred to me as an ostrich and then you go on to support my main points? (i.e. MB's appearance of apathy could be due to something other than an actual lack of effort, we just don't know... And to give the guy another chance, a lot of games still to play...)

    Mel needs to ride the Pine

    I agree that overall Basabe's level of play has been disappointing so far this year but I think the predictions that he'll transfer are a little premature. Poor performances due to a lack of effort are not acceptable, but for all we know so far there could be other factors contributing to Mel's...

    Iowa v Purdue game thread

    This is rough, Miller redeems himself with an INT and then Vandy fumbles into the end zone. This Iowa team is not good enough to get 0 points off 2 straight red zone trips and then for the OFFENSE to give up a TD after another TO Good Hawk teams have lost games from so many big blunders, this...

    2 red zone trips off TO's and 0 points, this is the kind if thing that costs Iowa wins

    Gamethread: IOWA vs MSU

    That last play was exactly why this coaching staff is so damn frustrating for us fans, you need 20 yds for a 1st down and you throw it 5 yds to a RB with 5 defensive players in position to contain him

    rebounds, ft and 3pts

    I really liked what I saw from White today, he had one baseline drive that ended in a 2 handed dunk that looked effortless, would like to see May do that a little more. White also showed some improvisational skills on O. I also thought both White and Oglesby looked like they'd added some muscle...

    Why we really lost...

    I am ready to calm my misdirected anger and disappointment with video games and excessive consumption of booze, at least on PS3's NCAA 2012 the Hawks will rock!

    If you are Gary Barta do you force

    I think if as an AD one was ready to give a head coach an ultimatum of 'fire your coaching staff or else' then personally I would go ahead and remove the head coach. It seems to me once you're ready to go as far as you're suggesting, then why stop there and not just change coaching regimes...

    Miller: Low Point Loss

    Nationalchamps your analogy of Alabama and Oklahoma losing to the likes of Mississippi Sate and Kansas are right on point! The overwhelming straw that broke my back are the consistent losses and difficulties with Indiana, Minnesota and Northwestern over the past several years. Add in Iowa State...

    Apathy and attendance is the only thing that will bring change

    Unless the fans start calling for KF to go. Stop the booster donations, if you're one of them then quit giving and let it be known you'll give again when KF is gone. If not then convince your rich booster friends and family to tighten their wallets until we bring in Mike Stoops* (or somebody else)

    Quit crying!!!

    Notafan shut your mouth and continue to let your wife talk for you and if you're not a fan then get the hell off this site, none if us want to read your whiny BS anyways! Yeah dude, that's it! We lost to a Minnesota team that got housed at home to North Dakota State dude! An FCS school! So...

    You are not a good fan if you blindly support your coach.

    Agreed, the game has passed KF and his coaching staff by, time to bow out respectively before it gets any uglier.

    2:48 to go, and no Coker? Why??

    Because our coaching staff is garbage. For the 3.5 million per year we pay KF he has no excuse to EVER lose to the bottom tier teams in our conference, or even middle tier teams in mid major conferences, a la Western Michigan in 2007

    A thread NOT calling for KFs job

    I'm calling for KF, NP and KOK's jobs. PATHETIC!!! Second year in a row hawks give a terrible Minnesota team it's first conference win. And how is Iowa State doing with the 'impressive and elusive' Steele Jaantz? No conference wins huh? Jee wiz fellas, gosh!?! If your program consistently...

    Worst loss in the KF era

    Kirk needs to go. There I said it. 2009 and we win 10 games plus a dominating BCS victory, in 2010 we return about half the starters including the top D-line in the nation (Clayborn, Klug, Ballard and soon Binns all in the NFL) and go 7-5 despite the favorable home schedule compared to 2009...

    QB play on the road

    James has nothing line Stanzi had, yeah Stanzi sucked in the final 5 games of his career but he had that entire 2009 season where despite himself (something like 17 INT's that year) he still came from behind and stole many victories. Vandenburg, other than the Pitt game, has not shown that he...

    Worst loss in the KF era

    Agreed, along with last year's loss to Minnesota. Garbage, absolute garbage, yeah we missed 24 yd FG I. 1st half but that should NOT be a deciding factor against a TERRIBLE Minny team that lost to an FCS school at home earlier this year

    Hawks Minny Game Day Thread (official)

    **** this, highest paid employee in the state?!? We pay KF more than the most talented brain surgeon at U of I and he can't beat ****** Minnesota. JM PLEASE ban me for a week for this post and do me a favor, punch KF in the ******* face next time you get close enough

    Unfreakingbelievable

    Fire Kirk, can't beat the shittiest team ever, those of you who spend your entire pathetic lives overly critiquing posts feel free to tear this up you loser team following losers. I am disgusted, maybe the Mountain West us more appropriate for the gutless choke eyes
