Memo to the apologists

[tksirius]

Iowa can’t recruit the skilled players that ISU pulls in every year. Too hard to get talent like that to Iowa City versus Ames

Understandable if you have tasted their water.

It's a no brainier for skill position recruits to pick Iowa State over Iowa. Why would a receiver go to Iowa and catch 2 balls a game for three years?

Odds we hear this week..."Maybe the game has passed me by...I plan to have some deep discussions with leadership and family at the end of the year."

about a gazillion to one this talk happens.

Matt Campbell is about to expose that as a lie over these next two years.

Low offensive output is the norm for this program and KF tends to point to level of players his program gets and execution of fundamentals always.

The only thing I disagree with is it takes two years. Gotta believe next year it will happen next time they play.

Ames is closer to Des Moines and Omaha. Makes a big difference. Ames sounds the siren. Hawks hold hands.

Iowa rarely piss pounds anyone unfortunately. I get your frustration I just don't buy that KF is going through the motions or only coaches teams up when he has pressure on him to perform. I was in the fire KF camp until the 2015 season. After that season I realized that KF has a contract at Iowa as long as he wants to coach at Iowa.

Except they used to under Fry. And recruiting was HARDER then.

When recruits taste that Ames water, the battle is over.
