That's the funny part. Those who are saying we shoulf have kicked the PAT are literally arguing that Kirk should have been coaching not to lose rather than coaching to win. And jere I thought that was a coo2mon complaint about KF.

Wrong. The outcome of making either the PAT or the 2pt is not the same. If you make the PAT, you still need a TD and a 2pt. If you make the 2pt, you only need a score and a PAT. The advantage of choosing to do the 2pt first is the superior knowledge you have if you miss it vs. if you miss it...

Where are you coming up with that stat? In general, the odds of converting a 2 pt. conversion are about 47.5% according to 538 analytics. While it might be that Iowa's offense has less than the average chance to convert 2, I'd be surprised to find out that Iowa has 42.5% less of a chance than...

What things were not equal? And you are incorrect. While knowing you need two scores with 1 minute left is a pretty hopeless situation, it is not as hopeless as knowing you needed two scores with 0 minutes left. With a minute left, you now know you are going to need to convert 2 onside...

You all suck at game theory. Kirk made the right call going for 2. All other things being equal, knowing you need two scores with a minute left is a superior position than knowing you needed two scores with no time left. The best argument to counter is that making it an eight point game puts...

The rhabdo thing was covered extensively on ESPN at the time. It was a big deal. I had forgotten about the Everson/Satterfield sex assault case back in 2007. Terrible thing, and I thought Kirk handled it the right way.

Good points above, and I would add that one of the things I like most about Kirk is that he has been able to avoid a lot of scandals that other programs are going through, and the times where he has had scandals (think City Boyz) he has dealt with it effectively and promptly. In the last 10...

Our best qb pressure has been with Anthony, AJ, at end with Hesse at DT. Our blitzing has not been effective, though admittedly we have not seen much of it.

I can safely say I'd rather see them sucking the fun out of football rather than f*ckiing the sun out of football.

10 snaps the first game, 15 the second game. He's being gotten up to speed just fine, and will be playing consistently in the B1G season. The only thing that bugs me about the DL rotation so far is the amount of snaps Brincks is getting. He has not shown much so far. I get that we need to...

"Shouldn't" is a loaded term. I think we have a better than 50/50 in those games, but hardly any B1G games are looking like sure things that would be crazy to lose.

Ahh. That does make a difference. My understanding, and correct me if I am wrong, is that to get a medical hardship waiver when you have previously redshirted, you must: 1. Must suffer an injury that is deemed incapacitating. 2. It must occur in the first half of the season 3. Must have...

I think 7-5 or 8-4. It seems like we will go into conference season 3-0. I see probable losses to PSU, OSU, and Wisky. I don't think there's no hope though, and I could see us winning one of these. The rest of the conference schedule should be winnable, though by no means a sure thing...

Seems a lot more like MVB than Ott here. Played two games this year, that's less that 25%. In retrospect, Ott's case wasn't particularly strong, and it seems like he didn't really get on the ball with it until it was late to do so, whereas MVB's seemed fairly clear and he was definitely on...

Can we get MVB returning all the punts? Jackson made some poor decisions out there against ISU that could have really hurt us. That last punt in particular. While we are at it, let's try someone else at kickoffs. Ivory-Martin will be good someday, but that return where he caught it but was...

I hope they use Butler more next week against North Texas. Work him in a little more, and keep Wadley fresh for Penn State.

Mac had his number in the beginning. Kirk's program became what it is after the CyHawk loss in 2002. Since then, we've only lost the years we didn't have a very good year: 2005, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2014. Besides 2006, those are pretty much teh down years for the program over the last decade...

He's got enough moxie to not panic on the road in a hostile environment when he is down multiple scores. He has enough moxie to throw a perfect strike on a walk-off TD in OT. He has enough moxie to throw a pick in his first quarter, than rattle off 8 straight TDs. He has enough moxie to shrug...

Brian called a really good game today. He's putting playmakers in positions to make plays, and getting people open all over the field. Stanley will start hitting more of those dep balls, and we will see this offense humming

Probably the greatest 2nd start in Iowa QB history. On pace for 48 TDs and 2 INTS right now. This is the new J-BO 5656 thread.
