Life is too short for this. This year smacks of 2012. I won't be surprised to see 4-8. I think I'll record the games and do other things. Reading this stuff and calling to mind my own observations is a close 2nd to watching Iowa's offense.

He won't necessarily be back. I quit watching games for the most part after 2012. I doubt I've watched more than 3 or 4 games in their entirety since then. Thus far this year I've watched part of the 2nd half of the Illinois game and nothing else. I still want the Hawkeyes to win and follow what they're doing online but I don't watch anymore. They're boring to watch and it's been made clear that the administration is OK with that and the mediocrity that is Kirk Ferentz. Until that changes I doubt I'll watch again. Unfortunately due to nepotism and the never ending Kirk love in the administration, it's probably a 99% certainty that Kirk's kid ends up being the next head coach so that our inexorable march into vanilla mediocrity can continue. I'm 55 years old and I just don't find Iowa football worth my time on a Saturday afternoon anymore. I went crappie fishing yesterday and absolutely slayed them, including two 14 inchers. That was fun.

Also before any of the Kirk humpers start jumping all over me, I don't think he's a horrible coach; he's OK but not any better than that. He's not a great recruiter; the one thing he does really well is develop offensive linemen. Seems like a nice guy and he does a lot of wonderful, charitable things for the community and the university. A lot of people are happy with him as the head coach and I get that. It doesn't get me all bent out of shape that he's still here, I just don't watch or go to games anymore because I personally just don't find it to be any fun. Kirk is the guy who is still trying to keep his VCR repair business going.

I agree with you. I quit watching when ferentz hired his son. I don't really want to waste my time supporting the ferentz family bank account. I hope the best for the players.

Don't forget that Steve is on staff also. Don't know what his position is; maybe it's a volunteer thing. I imagine when Brian takes the throne, James will be done with the NFL by that time and need a job.

You will be back. They will pick off Wisconsin or OSU and you won't be able to help yourself. It is what he does, just when everyone gives up, he pulls a rabbit out of his hat.

This is what is frustrating and why I hate myself at times.
