    The Kirk and Gary Show

    Listening to Ed on Soundoff sounded like he was sort of surprised CJ did not get in the game. As for Barta... I have no respect for him. He gave one of biggest laughingstock contracts in the history of college football coaches. Barta will defend Ferentz until the end of time. He has to. He is...

    Who's Going to...

    Hate to admit but honestly don't care what bowl we end up in or who we play. Not sure I have ever felt this way.

    FERENTZ...not Jake

    Agree. I don't have a huge problem with Jake... It's the conservative mode we went into after we built the lead. We take the foot off the gas. After seeing us run Weismann left and right one multiple occasions I was ready to throw the remote through the screen. Just tired of seeing the same 'ol...

    When Iowa led 24 - 7, did you think

    I absolutely thought we had the game won at that point. Our defense was smacking Nebraska around and on senior day I thought we would go out with a bang... Which I guess we ultimately did.

    Sadly, I think what is going to happen is Ferentz is working himself into removal

    Empty seats will be the only thing that escalates the end of the Ferentz era. As long as Kinnick still pulls in 60,000 + a game Kirk will still be our coach. Next year is going to be a really hard sell but I am guessing many of the long time ticket holders will still be there. I gave my season...

    Come on media members......do your job!!!

    I worked in media back in my 20s. And my general observation was the Iowa media ... In general... is soft. Being fresh out of college I was more in awe of the players and coaches. Now, in my 40s, I would have a different approach. There is a way to word your questions and get the point across...

    Fresh start, tank, and build

    At this point I would take a fresh start. Been a Hawk fan for 35 years and for me, apathy started to set in the season before our 4-8 campaign. Losing games we shouldn't and getting out coached by 1st or 2nd year coaches... We'll... It's been the same song and dance for too long. After having...

    Instant Reaction: More than Just a Loss to Huskers

    This is the end of the Ferentz regime. He's already replaced most of his staff and that is usually the beginning of the end. He'll be back next year. After that? Empty seats will be the only thing that may escalate the problem. How do you sell this program moving forward when all it could muster...

    I am starting to hate Kirk Ferentz

    Enough of this ... No more ... The excuses can no longer be made. After 35 years of being a diehard... and Kirk supporter until about 2012 ... I am done. And it's why I gave up my season tickets last year. It's time for a change. NOW ...

    Calling all KF defenders: please make your case

    Tick Tock ... there are no more excuses.

    Enough of the Fire KF posts...

    This is really at a point where a person simply can't find or make any more excuses about the state of Iowa football ...

    He is our safe "possession" receiver.

    2014 - The Worst 7-5 Year EverQ

    Kirk's last hurrah was replacing most of his staff in the past 3 years. It's not working. This loss was 100 percent on the coaching staff. You don't get a lead like that.. At home... And tank... But, that is what average teams do.

    Empty Seats

    All good points. And yes, many of the things you mentioned definitely factored into my decision. Factor in all of it, and it's hard to justify the time and money.

    Empty Seats

    This will continue to be a problem... At Iowa... And across the country. Technology allows us to enjoy the games in ways never experienced before. We have smartphones and 65 inch flat screens. We have shorter attention spans. We have (or create) more demands on our time. When you factor that in...

    Scary Thought: Next Year's Team Will Be Significantly WORSE

    I wish I could say I see next season being a lot different than this year ... At first glance I see about 7 wins. And sadly, I chalk the ISU game as a loss (despite knowing they won't be a good team) ... and then you factor in road games at Wisky and Nebby. I just really don't see our program...

    A. Logue: 'Hawkeyes did all they could' .... huh?

    I think THIS Iowa team did about everything it could. Meaning, we are a so-so team that hung as long as we could at home against a better team. Sorry, Wisconsin is a simply a much better team.

    Saw this same movie....

    Kind of had that feeling heading into halftime that we would see a different Texas team in the second half. The giant awoke and we had no answer. I liked out intensity for most of the first half, despite the atrocious shooting. We have got to have guards who can make an outside shot. That was...
