Apathy is a dangerous thing

[BLKNGOLD48]

I want a head coach who does more than chew gum and cry. I want an offensive approach that isn't from the 1970s NFL.
I want to be excited by what I see on the field when the Hawkeyes have the ball.

You can wish in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which one fills up quicker.

Many here can't afford appathy. Iowa football is the source of joy and entertainment as well as idenity. Absent these constituent elements many fear that they'll become the hole in the donught. My dad asked me once when I was a kid. "What is the matter with you son? Ignorance or Apathy? I said, Dad...I don't know....and I don't care.

Claaasic!

People love to get outside and drink in nice weather, let's see what the attendance looks like in November when we're closing out a 4 or 5 win season.

A better example than Nebraska which for some reason people can't admit is a national brand name, is Kansas State.

Not a lot of talent.
Low population.
Another BCS In State school.

Yes they had a few down years, but they're a better program than Iowa is and they ought not to be.

VERY strong point. Another Hayden disciple, doing better than KF. If anyone has ever been to Manhattan, they would be shocked at how good we have it in IC. Small, pathetic stadium. Town is a dump with nothing to do. In the middle of a wheatfield, with no population to speak of. That's why K State was the losingest program in NCAA history until Snyder showed up. Now he has them back on the way up, while we coast downward.

I saw quite a bit of KSU's dismantinling of The U this past weekend, and KSU looked really, REALLY good.

I question whether we'll even have a smaller blip like 2009 and the last part of 2008 before KF retires, goes to the NFL, etc. The result is that I'm starting to EXPECT 7-5 type seasons, and that is killing my excitement for Iowa Football. The program needs a shot in the arm.

NFL? What NFL team would want him at this point?

Actually, if you think Iowa is doing just fine, you're an optimist. Apathy means you don't give a rats behind anymore. The flurry of activity on the message boards indicate that it is not apathy we are looking at, but instead frustration. Frustration is a good thing, it indicates people still care. If you would like to see apathy search the basketball forums from 2008-2010 until the rumor that Lick was leaving. The cobwebs in there at the time indicated apathy. So you're argument is invalid.

At least someone else besides me understands the definition of apathy.
