Adios, Football Board

This board has officially jumped the shark. I know most on here won't miss me, but I'm retreating to the basketball world where things actually make sense.

Go Hawks. Go Iowa Football. Go Kirk Ferentz.

Peace out.
 

We defeat the proverbial "monkey on our back" in a game that we shouldn't have won and this board acts like we're the bottom of the Big Ten. It's silly to engage in discussion with people of such a mindset and I'm done with it. I'm proud of our team and our coaches and proud to be 5-3 after last season....but I can't stand reading this board any more.

See you at Carver.

You know a fanbase has jumped the shark when theres more b!tching and moaning after a win than after a loss. Youd have thought we beat OSU last week and lost to NW this week. Im convinced 2/3rds of posters on here should be medicated....
 
not sure what's worse someone whining about things after a win... or someone threatening to take their ball and go home because they disagree with what people post.

Imo if you don't like it and want to go then go - but posting about it with teary eyes is... weaksauce.

Then some decent posters supporting cry cry behavior.

overall so disappointing.

also... don't believe you for one second... which further makes this such a failure post.

See you (after you post in this thread 5-10 more times) in about a week I'm guessing.

what proverbial "monkey on our back"? We beat NW at home last time.

A game we "shouldn't have won"? Iowa was the favorite in all of the lines that I saw.

Hopefully you're a bit more "dialed in" on basketball.

By the way...wasn't your post a "good bye"? Why are you still posting here?
 
I am not planning to 'leave the board' not do I think anyone would care but I share many of the same sentiments as wundergrape. Today I watched the team I love play a game which was competitive and entertaining. I experienced a range of emotions and ultimately ended up very happy with a win and being one step closer to a bowl game, albeit a very minor one. A few hours after the game I check out the board and it seems like we got beat??? I have no idea why some people feel that they are entitled to a BCS bowl caliber team every year just because KF has a contract we would all like to have. I acknowledge last year was really hard to watch but this year has been fun and the future looks better. Perhaps those of you that like to rip on this program and its leader all day should get off the internet and go out in the world and create the kind of elite level success for yourselves that you seem to think KF owes you? Go out and start a shoe company(Knight/Oregon) or become a corporate raider(Pickens/Ok St.) and then you can give a bunch of money and help pick the coach you think you deserve. Until then be a little more positive and enjoy this, it is a lot more fun!
 
oh the old - if we haven't done it ourselves or we don't coach argument

One of the most logical fail arguments of all time

Wayazattazatza better not ever criticize the president or anyone else - unless you yourself have been president ect.

I am critical of your spelling and grammar. I will save criticisms of political figures for another venue.
 
Trust me...we are likely to get leveled next week if our offense can't control the ball on the Wisky defense, but give me a break. We just came out of a very physical road game at OSU and this NW team is not the same team that lost to Minnesota last week. If Colter plays last week, Minnesota would have lost by two touchdowns. He's the difference maker for NW. People need to understand that we beat a pretty good team today with their best guy at QB. NW isn't an easy out and they were beaten badly by Wisky because they had just played a very physical and emotional game against OSU the week before and they lost a couple defensive players against Wisconsin and it snowballed on them in the second half. Match ups week to week matter and playing two physical games in a row is tough. We now play Wisconsin and they have had the week off. Advantage Wisconsin in a big, big way.

People, it's about winning...and we won. Enjoy and move on to the next game. It will most likely turn out differently than you think...just like the OSU and NW games just did.
 
oh I don't think anyone is disappointed by the defensive effort - its the 10 pts in regulation winofthecentury.

Always happy we won but just worried about the inability to put teams away.

I saw that we were outscored in the 2nd half this season 50-7 going into this game...

Love the victory but that really needs to get fixed or wont be many more to love.
