It just seems you think I'm an easier target because in general I do try and be polite and make reasonable comments even if they are negative.
I don't want to keep this up either. You did in a passive way tell people not to criticize your article rather than engaging. You obviously also selectively target my posts which overall aren't that negative. I have coached HS sports. Almost any decent HS coach and good rec coach can spot some of Iowa's weak spots. The weaknesses are often very basic. Something that collegiate coaches should know.
My biggest pet peeve was Woodbury's hand movements. It's very basic to teach to a big man with limited quickness and it got in in trouble repeatedly and indirectly cost him a step in foot quickness.
What we get out of it is that some of us have been Hawk fans even longer than you. Some previous coaches including Davis brought in a high amount of class. Fran just doesn't bring that in my opinion. He embarrasses this prideful Hawk fan. Living in another state near a Big campus, I get the slack. Losing is one thing. Losing and being a nut is another. I don't get Iowa's lack of fundamentals...I just don't. It was difficult on this long time Hawk fan who got the nickname Hawkeye on his out of state campus because of my loyalty and pride in the program. It's hard to be proud of this and it's not just the losing. It's the style. It's the lack of real fundamentals on most phases. You've certainly heard me say that Cook and JBo are two of the best players in the Big. Of the thread on Moss, you've certainly heard me say that not very many players could ever put up 30 in a Big game. Fran has some talent. Some pretty good talent. He just can't put that together. This far in he probably never will. Woody's senior year was likely his best shot. It was a nice season. Clean up some fundamentals and it's much better.
