    Time for this Coaching Staff and Team to Put Up or Shut Up

    What an incredible ----- you are!

    That sucked, but we're not pedo st...and don't forget it

    I'm feeling strongly that way right now, too. I think it is a combination of me being a bad loser AND the fact that my daughter is a nurse at Stead and works with many of those kids. The Iowa football program has set a new standard for relationship with kids, ours being one that supports...

    Interesting take from a Bison Fan

    Thanks for your impressive wisdom and judgment. Since you said it wasn't gloating, I won't call it that either. There have been a number of news stories from varied sources chastizing D1 teams for scheduling games against NDSU. Essentially, nothing to gain and all to lose. Each of those games...

    The way forward

    I completely agree with everything you wrote.

    Could Barta Structure a "Soft Landing" for Coach Ferentz?

    Why not replicate what Nebraska, Wisconsin and others have done - appoint a formerly successful football head coach as the AD. Solves two problems.

    Gawd IOWA Athletics are miserable...

    I do believe that you look for common thread or root cause and it lands at the AD desk. Not sure that there is any fire coming from there. Like any organization, if you don't provide spark, there won't be fire. Barta just doesn't get that done. He is simply staffing his position, nothing more...

    Pelini fired

    . You're right - Iowa and Nebraska are total opposites. Iowa is built with ethics, values and integrity. Nebraska's is exposing its arrogance, shallowness and greed. When I look at the Ferentz body of work, I see former players succeed in life, substantial financial contributions from the...

    My Theory

    . This poster does know what he's taking about. It's sickening how little credit people will give KF - like he's the enemy. Obviously, you have to be small-minded to be a hater.

    I think Jake got a special talk from a former UI QB

    It's foolish to think Tate had anything to do with Jake's performance. I think Jake and his offense have a self-driven desire to expand their results. And then they did.

    Miller: Will Two QB Thingy Work?

    Two things - for those who want KF to make a decision about the starting QB, he has. You don't like it, so you won't consider it decided. Secondly, it's disgusting how you all hate on JR. He doesn't deserve that.

    Bad game day coaching aside....

    The other option, Haymaker, instead of trying to change everything you despise about Iowa football, is for you to change and to choose another team to "support". Kentucky, perhaps? G'bye.

    What are your score predictions?

    Ott update?

    He was seen at practice today (but so was Nile Kinnick).

    When Did It All Go Wrong?

    I agree about the Bloomington thing. I know this sounds goofy, but at the time, the beam falling from the ceiling just seemed like the sort of thing that could throw a wrench or a rose into a season that was on the brink of going UP or going DOWN. Don't know why, but it changed things. Who...

    We are a broken team.

    No team chemistry anymore. No physical nor emotional energy. Hard to know why. Hard to watch.

    Tough to be a Hawkeye

    A team to forget. As soon as possible. Let's get this season over.

    Worst collapse I can ever remember

    McCaffery is not a good coach; unable to get a team out of a funk.

    Now I am worried/wondering about this team - even if we win this

    Iowa is not capable of winning another game this year. It would be more likely for Nebraska to get to the Final Four than for the Hawks to win again this year. The hardest thing in the world is to get out of your own way. Our coach isn't experienced enough to get this team past that. Hard season.

    Something has obviously happened to this team....

    They were a better team when Marble got everyone involved and had little personal point production in the first halves of games. Now, he produces points and many of the others don't. Something going on with that.
