ONE OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN IN 8 QUARTERS.

FIRE. THAT. BUM.

 

[dwghawk]

I don't get all of the fades.

Very low completion percentage pass. Not a good call late when you need points.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

Iowa and Nebraska...two shadows of what once was...sad, sigh

Congrats to Purdue...they deserve to win...first year coach schools Kirk and Kid...

Fire Kirk and family...NOW

But we better be worried about picking the wrong coach. We could become like Purd....oh, wait.

 

[Garandx]

Does this team win 2 games next year? Talent wise I say no. Coaching wise I say hell no. There is no hope with this team. No talent. Just a bunch of fucking gutless, pathetic cowards who can't tie their own fucking shoes.

Heads need to roll TONIGHT. F next season. Get new blood in and do it now. Grandpa needs to be put out to pasture.

 

[The Big LeHAWKski]

Special teams an all around failure today. Roughing the punter, punt returner is terrible, our punter is terrible,

With no exaggeration, my 12 year old nephew is by far a superior punter.
Yet there he is every damn Saturday, stinking it up.

 

[HawksMN]

Is there booing post game? If so....feel bad for the seniors.

 

[revkev73]

Kirk...clueless...excuses...101...

Purdue might be the program to kick Kirk out the door...please!!!!!!!

 

[ArvadaHawk]

You know what, just roll the effing dice. Hire leonhard and just see what the eff happens. We've got plenty of talent, if used correctly, to win games.

Blow up inboxes. Leave messages. Change wont happen until people start getting uncomfortable.

It’ll never happen. The only thing more apathetic than the coaching staff is the Iowa fan base. There are no true zealots in the fan base willing to do something like what the Michigan fans did to Brandon and Hoke.

the fans were gone already.

The defining series...in many ways was where Rugamba got burned 4 consecutive plays. Game over.

Kirk would never do that... go to a hot player against a guy who is overmatched. Purdue saw it, and attacked. They... PLAYED TO WIN.

When the Hayden vs Kirk debate surfaces again...as they always do... this will always be the difference. Kirk losses to inferior teams way...way..too often. And it's a direct result of how he does things.

OUT-coached once again.
Once again we made the opposing Defense look like All-Americans.
Once again we look beyond pathetic on special teams.
I'll guaran-damn-tee you there is some kid in the Iowa Band who can punt better than what we've got!

 

[DDThompson]

Only Kirk can turn a 60 minute game into a 59 minute game. That’s indefensible.

The few thousand left did boo.

 

[NEIChawk]

I seriously hope the press ask some seriously harsh questions of KF.....I feel we as a fan base need answers. This is God damn ridiculous

 

[DDThompson]

Purdue sucks one season to manhandling Iowa In Kinnick the next.

Indefensible

The media are huge enablers of this mediocrity. No one out there has balls.

 

[The Big LeHAWKski]

Pretty sure Malcom died not Angus right?

Angus grieves, but he lives.

This will never happen. Our press corp is weak and afraid.
