    My Get Off My Lawn post

    I don't think anyone can reasonably argue that this hasn't been a disappointing season given what was there for the taking. But it wasn't a total collapse like, say, Notre Dame in 2016. Or Iowa in 2012. Still, a wasted opportunity to be sure.

    Well that last turnover they "forced" against Iowa was essentially the Iowa player just dropping the ball as Iowa was driving to win the game.

    My Get Off My Lawn post

    With hindsight I think it's pretty clear that Iowa's ceiling was 12-0. I'm not saying that we should have been 12-0. I'm saying that it's a totally reasonable statement to say that 12-0 was a realistic possibility.

    Here's what frustrates me, with the disclaimer that college football is just entertainment and doesn't really mean jack shit in the greater scheme of things: Iowa, now, thanks almost exclusively to Bump Elliot, Hayden Fry, and probably more than anyone, Kurt Ferrets, is an elite program in...

    She was of hardy stock, and would not be easily subdued.

    Lawrence Phillips didn't hurt that gal. The stairs did.

    Will get busted in the not so distant future for substantial recruiting violations: Advantage Frost.

    Kingsbury fired: HMMM, OC talent/QB Guru??

    Who could be MORE qualified than a center? They understand the offense as intimately as the QB, and probably moreso, since they're more involved in the blocking schemes...and blocking is everything for an offense.

    Kingsbury fired: HMMM, OC talent/QB Guru??

    I understand why Texass Tech fired their golden boy, but I doubt they'll find an improvement. They've been dormant ever since Leach bolted.

    Do we expect too much?

    We could land an NFL starter caliber QB and WRs if we coached and played them like NFL QBs and WRs. For crissakes we already run the pro set. Shouldn't be that tough of a sell.

    Do we expect too much?

    Well, as much as I like to bitch, and I do like to bitch, we were a handful of shitty plays away from being undefeated right now. Almost all of the breaks went against us this season and we were still in that position. Really, there's no way we should have lost any of those games; Pedo State was...

    Bring Back Old Kirk

    Well, bince I only saw highlights from the second half, that 4th down was the penultimate play for me.

    Bring Back Old Kirk

    The reason they went for it is paradoxically the same reason that not converting it was such a de-nutter: Because Phail Parker sucks a giant stinky ass against a mobile, even marginally accurate quarterback. Prolly the same reason Kurt went for the penultimate 4th down: He knew that Phail wasn't...

    Bring Back Old Kirk

    You have to kick that FG with that time and score. It's basic fkn math. Terrible risk/reward scenario. I like the 4th down and fk it call at the end. Debby the ho had the mo, and that conversion made it go, and ended up winning the game, yo. Football, like life, is so much more manageable if...
