Hawkeyes - Bruins Game Thread

You are missing the point. There were fans still bringing it up this week. Those fans are incredibly out of touch. We aren’t a playoff program under ferentz. We never have the personnel on offense. Nor the coaching offensively. We don’t play championship schedules. Playoff teams aren’t afraid of anyone. They play top 15 teams including on the road & win. They put themselves out there. Kirk doesn’t. He tries doing things with mirrors. Sneak up on teams in the 4th quarter. Rack up wins over other middling, one dimensional teams . And our defense hets exposed against better competition. It’s traditionally good, but not great because it’s not there in big games.

We got our asses kicked last night. It just didn’t show it on the scoreboard because of ucla’s ineptness in the first half. Gerentz & his phobia with the west coast is telling. Worse off is, I think we got out coached last night
Sounds like you hate being a Hawkeye fan and have been hating it for a long time. Continuing to let it make you angry is a you problem, not an Iowa Hawkeyes problem.

Sounds like you should just find a different team with a better coach and a different board to rant on, especially since Ferentz and the Hawks have been garbage for so long. You’d love the improved mental health and we’d like it better too.

You have a HUGE list of things you hate about Iowa’s program and according to you it’s been the same for a very long time. So quit the whining about it, accept that Iowa sucks and the coaches suck and we don’t have the “personnel,” and move on. Pick ISU. Pick OSU. Pick Penn State. We won’t be mad at you, we’d love to see you happier somewhere else. I’m here to help you in the moving on process if you can’t do it on your own. Sometimes we all need a little push to get us moving when our mental health is being clouded by idiocy.

Everything aside, it’s been nothing from you other than bashing the Hawkeyes constantly, and for years people here have said how much they hate it. I encourage anyone here to look at any of your 1,391 posts and find something that isn’t bitching about the Hawkeyes while saying you’re a fan. You’re a fair weather fan. You’re worse than a Nebraska fan because at least they have something to be mad about since they were actually at the top at one point.

So here’s your super duper official notice that if you‘re going to keep doing literally nothing but troll Iowa football we’re going to have to part ways. It’s normal to be mad when your team loses, but it’s been 14 years apparently of you doing nothing but bitching about Iowa. That’s long enough for all of us combined.

You should ask yourself how stupid it is to hate something for over two decades, but STILL continue complaining to people about how much it affects you…especially when it’s totally voluntary and could be instantly solved by finding one of 130 available teams to make you happy.

Me personally, I hope you make another post bitching about the Hawkeyes so we can expedite the divorce. But I’m guessing you’ll just get real mad, whine about me and give a bunch of other deflection, and then just leave on your own in some kind of “I don’t need this shitty site anyway.”

I guess I’m ok with either because the result is going to be the same.

So hurry up and get it over with, let’s hear your dumb post bitching about how I suck as an admin, and it’s not fair, and “yeah but everyone else does it,” and how this site sucks. I’m waiting. Hurry up. Shit or get off the pot, amigo.
 
You know, I solved the the angry fan in me as it relates to Men's Basketball years ago. I got real, stepped back and became disinterested. I rarely watch MBB. Cant' really explain it. I often wonder what it would be like to be that way for football.

I’m not disinterested in Hawkeye football, I just don’t get mad about it. Best memories in my life are taking my son to his first games and bonding over Hawkeye sports. Win or lose I’ll be interested and always watch. It might be a bummer when they’re not competitive, but no way am I going to turn in lot a crying little whining fake fan like @oldhawk12

That guy is bitter about fans who can like a team without them ever making the playoffs and it makes me giggle. But it gets to a point where 1,300 posts bitching about it is a little repetitive and lots of people here have said it sucks. So it’s time for him to go. I really despise banning people so it’s more fun to call him out, change his avatar to a picture of KF, delete his complaints. and make it as miserable for him to be here as it is for everyone else on the board to read his whining. Then he can leave on his own.

Don’t get me wrong, complaining is fine and expected as devoted fans, but it’s quite literally all he does. Nothing else added whatsoever.

odd, I didn't even notice the guy.

I was disappointed when Iowa came out here and played Utah and lost but to your point it was a blast being at the game with my family.

I keep hoping Utah or BYU would join the big ten so we can see the Hawkeyes more often.

I will always treasure our family time in Florida and going to one of the theme parks and then the next day watching Iowa win on the last play of the game on that Halloway catch. That was the best time with my kids.

A couple of weeks ago my daughter in law came by and had on a beautiful Iowa Hawkeye sweater that she got at a store called NPS. It’s a second hand store here in Orem, Utah. I was upset because just a couple of days before that I was in the store and missed seeing it. I was looking through anything with Gold color as my Son finds Hawkeye stuff in there also.

Until I retired a year and a half ago my kids would call me or text me to let men know how the games were going. I would let them chat away about the games. What I didn’t tell them is that I was watching the games on HULO on my IPHONE, but it was fun to hear them gushing over about certain plays and other times hearing the disappointment in the voices.

I thought this season was going to be special with a loaded defense returning and an improved offense. Our schedule was very favorable. I had no misgivings about playing Ohio State but I was very hopeful at a possible 11-1 season and thought Iowa Stare could be a thorn in our side. Even so at 10-2 I thought maybe we could sneak in to the playoffs. I had plans to pay for flights and tickets for my whole family for the first playoff game. Damn!!!!

I am still scratching my head wondering what went wrong this season. I admit I get upset when they lose games like everyone else does. What is the most aggravating is when we lose games to that damn Iowa State and we shouldn’t have.

I can see know that the team just didn’t have it this season as much as I wanted them too. I am still hoping that the Big twelve (or whatever the hell they are called now) dissolves and BYU or Utah join the big ten. All my kids and grand kids live out here in Utah and it would be a blast to go to see a few Hawkeyes games together on a regular basis.

I am still scratching my head about that loss last night. That was probably UCLA’s best game of the year. Damn!!
 
You know they held UCLA to 20 points, 3 in the second half

Yeah, we lost by 3 points at their hostile house

The zebras took us out of the game early with that bullshit holding call

The Hawk player merely touching the bruin bastard

We certainly didn't adjust to their defensive game play at all

We kept running Kaleb up the middle into a stacked defensive line

Their number one objective was to stop Kaleb

We put up a Good Fight but the deck was stacked

I do wonder what happened with IA's D this year? Was it overconfidence by a lineup of 22/3 yr olds? Did Phil get way too cute in schemes? Did we overestimate how poor the DLine would be this year? Did we underestimate how difficult replacing Coop would be?

Probably a combination of all of the above.

Recruiting has regressed due to Brian’s offenses becoming national laughing stocks for the past several years. Parker doesn’t have the horses he has in the past. It’s pretty simple.
