I'm a fan of Iowa Football first. I am not a fan of kirk ferentz.
Even if you want a coaching change, please don't stop watching

I'm rather curious how Herbsteit reacts, or rather what he says.....I'm sure no one really gives a rats a $$......it seemed like last week Millen was a little sympathetic as to how bad Iowa was getting hammered on...
The thread title is all wrong. Most of us will still watch it is a question of whether we continue to go to Kinnick. I was done with this carnival in 2014 but got sucked back in by friends in getting tickets in 2015 and that was great. But we are back to 2014 with boredom, not seeming to try new things, etc.

I will be watching. I love Hawkeye Football & each week, I hope for the best. Mad as hell when we lose and giddy when we win.
Its going to be a coaching change that wins us the game today, but its not the one you think! Harbaugh has a habit of leaving teams before he ever really wins anything, and he has some unfinished business from his short time in San Francisco with ZERO SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIPS. When you add to the fact that he has already accomplished everything he wanted to do at Michigan already, I would be surprised if he even walks out on the field as Michigan's coach later today. Several NFL teams are contemplating "mega offers", and his family has deep ties to the LA Rams and the Cleveland Browns.

So? All that would mean is Michigan wouldn't have a HC for the game. At best, that means they'd get the same gameday benefits from their HC that Iowa does.

I got tickets handed to me for this game, so I'll be at the stadium. Nothing like watching a trainwreck live and in-person.
I started drifting away from watching in 2013. It just wasn't entertaining or fun anymore. I knew nothing was going to change so why have hope? I'll also admit Iowa football was always about 4th on my fandom list to begin with anyway so it was easier to give up. I've stuck with the Cubs through thick and thin and Iowa basketball as well. Last year was fools gold and anyone with common sense could see that. It's also the only really good year Ferentz has had since 2009; think about that, one really good season in the last seven. So of course give him another extension into eternity. It was 2009 redux because Iowa doesn't learn from experience. At least when the basketball program went completely down the crapper positive changes were made.
I won't watch the game today, have no interest in it. And don't give me the not a real fan crap; been to games in person at Kinnick and out of town and bowl games as well in the past. I'm sure I'll be saddened to see the final score (probably somewhere around 49-7). But I won't care that much because Kirk lost me years ago. Excited to see what Fran does with the young basketball team he has this year and will watch most of those games. Football? It's like still using a rotary phone instead of an iphone. And nothing will change any time in the near future. I commend those who can mantain enthusiasm for the program, I just don't have it in me. If they ever show Kirk the door I'll come back.

Last night was why we keep watching the Hawks. Frustrating as hell but we come back every week!!
It was definitely a heck of a win for the Hawkeyes; speaks to their character to come back like that after the Penn St. debacle. However they're still a very mediocre 6-4 and the same team that lost to an FCS program at home this year. It will make this season better but still overall nothing more than mediocre, not to mention a disappointment. Not saying fans shouldn't enjoy the win; I was happy to see they won. But the big picture hasn't changed because of it. Where was this effort against North Dakota St? Penn State? Northwestern? That's on the coach too.
And please don't think I'm trying to be a killjoy or telling others not to watch; I'm not. I have just personally lost a lot of interest in the football program.
