I am in my 40s and hav been a diehard my entire life. I don't ever remember such a period where BOTH Iowa and football were so down. Apathy has set in so bad for me that I started DVRing football games and most basketball games I don't even bother to turn on. It's frustrating ... It's maddening...

Who would have thought that drama could work its way into my life via a messageboard. I see posters calling others out by screen name as if they know them like their next door neighbor. "Where has 'LivsInMumsBasementHawki" been? Or, where has "PeakedIn8thGradeHerky" been? It's funny ... like...

Out of habit, I flip on KXNO ... only because I keep a little cheap radio in the bathroom and I am too lazy to futz with loading my podcasts on my iPhone in the morning ... The bottomline is local sports radio in Des Moines is bad. I used to enjoy the afternoon 4-6 slot on KXNO but both of those...

I love how some fans try and make it sound like we just signed Barry Sanders. This kid LIVES in SEC country yet he was sitting around on signing day waiting for IOWA, of all schools, to say, "yeah, okay ... we do need you, I mean ... want you, after all..." Holy cow kool-aid drinkers, it can't...

So tired of hearing how many players we send to the NFL. Who gives a sh&&? I want to see those players produce at Iowa and give us 8, 9, 10-win seasons ... Since 2010 we are 34-30 ... And our last 3 recruiting classes are ranked in the 50 or so range ... Holy cow ... anywhere else and Kirk would...

Barta and Kirk are on borrowed time and both will be gone after next season ... We just need to make it through one more year of this sh** ...

Kirk will be gone after next season ... No way in he** you can bring him back after next year ... Iowa will have time to gets its plan in place for its next coach ... Kirk is a lame-duck coach ... He knows it ... This recruiting class shows it. Nine recruits from the state of Iowa? Nine? Almost...

You absolutely can't tell 18-21 year olds they can't use Twitter. In today's social-media domimated world we live in that is like telling my wife she needs to leave the car in the drive way and walk to work. It is absolutely ridiculous ... Please Kirk ... just go far, far away ... After next...

Whatever worked for Kirk and staff no longer works. You need to be able to recruits guys who can come in and play immediately and not simply rely on developing players that won't really see the field until their junior or senior season. Kirk and staff ... their time is over and we just need to...

"I didn't know they made overalls for women ..."

No way does Kirk see this class graduate. He will be gone after next season. No way this program and university continues on after next season with the continued decline of Iowa football ... Kirk and Co. are slowly burying Iowa football ... His time has come and gone ...

Honestly doesn't matter ... Both coaches will be looking for new jobs after the 2015 season ...

Could not have said it any better. Spot on.

I love how a recruit pops up ... that pretty much nobody has heard of ... on the radar on signing day and some fans are ready to turn him into the next Barry Sanders. Not saying the kid can't or won't have a career at Iowa, but just funny the fans who watch one or two HIGHLIGHT videos and then...

Recruiting has become a circus. The NCAA has allowed it to become that way. These kids are committing/de-committing like you or I choose what pair of socks to put on in the morning. I do feel bad for coaches when this happens. You put all of this time, money, and effort into bringing a kid in...

Sounds like a nice pickup. And sounds like he had some nice suitors. Also, just from reading the article this sounds like a pretty level-headed kid. I like that. And it's a pretty cool honor and a pretty cool thing when a kid is the first in his family to have the chance to go to college ... and...

This staff is not only recreating the Titanic but it's also tossing out anchors to those in the water ... Good God ... get rid of this staff ... Next year will be Kirk's last year. He knows it ... This recruiting class is right in par with the state of the program and the direction it is heading...

One more year and Kirk is gone ... No ifs, ands or buts ... He will be gone ... This latest recruiting class sums up where this program is heading ...

Now that we have 10 of 18 or so recruits coming from the state of Iowa ... this absolutely supports my thoughts that Kirk is gone after next year. This is sort of like a "we've given up" class. Sorry folks, but you aren't going to compete for a Big 10 title with a roster filled with Iowa kids...

It used to be any time we snagged a lower-ranked recruit I never questioned Kirk and Co. Kudos to any kid who wants to come and play for the Hawks. This is nothing against the kids. I admire them for having the ability to be good enough in football to earn a scholarship. My post has more to do...
