Good win but...

Omaha North high does. They play home games on Kinnick field (he went to HS there). They won Class A this year.

Actually, Nile Kinnick attended Benson High School in Omaha. Benson was my mother's alma mater and she was in school during the time he was there.

There are still major, major problems with the Iowa coaching regime, it seems to me starting with the head case head coach, continuing to his nepotistic hire at offensive coordinator and retread at QB coach. Iowa beat a very bad Nebraska team that had to know its coach was getting fired at the end of the game no matter the outcome and more or less gave up after Iowa's second TD of the second half. So that's a great win?

While I never fail to enjoy seeing Debby getting rickrolled, viewing the game the last two quarters was almost like not wanting to stare at a car wreck. There were a few times when I said to my wife on big plays or kNu turnovers "Oh, God, here we go..." And our side was winning. It was that bad.

I prefer to look at the median of Iowa's performance over the season and wonder just WTF happened between the Ohio State blowout and yesterday. That has all the signs of being bipolar. Is there a reason Iowa's football teams cannot perform at a more consistent level every week? Why the offense was so inconsistent? Why special teams were largely terrible? Why out of 100 or so available player positions we cannot find one college student who can punt the ball?

Oh... I don't know... it could be something as simple as a red shirt Freshman tackle and a true freshman tackle... not that first year players are ever inconsistent or anything... or that tackle is an incredibly important position in the offense,

Nah... couldn't be any of that.

I stand corrected. I don't know why Northwest has Kinnick field, they always mention Nile before the North games. Must be another connection.

Listen lady, it was a great 42 point win. But the ups and down of the offense over the course of a 12 game regular season is difficult to watch. Again, it's a 12 game season not one game vs. Nebraska. I wouldn't expect you to understand though. I'll leave it at that.

My post wasn't about the inconsistency on offense. It was about the fact that beating Nebraska by 42 points was fun, no matter whether Nebraska is any good or not. But clearly, this went over your head. There are plenty of other threads to discuss the reasons we have been so up and down.
