Hawkeyes' Matt Nelson Expands Game from End to Tackle

[PCHawk]

I just think our fan base has been negatively affected by 18 straight years of being told we rebuild every year . . . which is horse crap. Iowa reloads most years. But KF has been rewarded for lowering expectations. We all know why he does it. Cuz then when you have a 2015 the media; the fans and everyone else think a miracle has happened. Remember when KF said a few years ago: "If we keep winning like this we're going to a good bowl game and get our butts kicked." I don't want a coach who predicts losses in bowl games. KF has bought his own schtick and so has the fan base; gary barta and the gutless sports media. Other teams have far less experience returning and you don't see them using it as an excuse to fail.

I don't see it because I don't go on other teams message boards. If I did, I'm sure I would see posts saying it's a rebuilding year, along with posts that say other teams don't use that excuse. I doubt the lowa fan base is the only one who has people who know it's not realistic to be great every year and have people who think it doesn't matter what all the other programs do as long as we as fans want to win really bad.
