0-13 and it will carry the into next season. It's just so damn frustrating because we were in every game this year.

That's what makes it so painful as we could have won several of those games. Almost like flipping a coin.
In this one a first down on the facemask could have been the difference. Or the late hit out of bounds. What the hell were they seeing on either play? Our guy was clearly out of bounds and had actually relaxed when he was hit.............. not even debatable, the announcers were full of shit.

It's also painful to see the perennial scrub football program Indiana doing so well. If it was a Michigan, Notre Dame, or Alabama that had a down time for a few seasons but then came back a person could easily understand and point out they have been elite programs and its hard to keep elite programs down forever.......... but effing Indiana???

At the risk of provoking the ‘But 8 wins!’ posters (many of whom have gone quiet)…
I have accepted the reality that Iowa is no longer a Top 20 program.

We are average. Can compete with better ranked programs, but can only achieve slim loses. Hope this doesn't put us in the Yankee stadium bowl or Detroit bowl.!

I mean usc is no push over and it was on the road. But when you dont come up with a home upset, youre a good top 35 team at best.

Pathetic. Numbers don’t lie.
Kirk will finish with 7-8 wins, go to a bowl and consider that a successful season.
Well dammit, no it isn’t anymore. With Coaches salary’s, NIL, fans supporting the Swarm, ticket prices that go up every season. Piss on that.
Don’t want to hear the BS “well it’s Iowa, can’t get the players” BS! Indiana is a perfect example.

Sounds like you need to find a different team so you don’t end up in a psych ward with your shoelaces taken away from you.
Seriously. Save yourself some despair and find a team that suits your needs as a fan. There are plenty of SEC teams that will fill all your needs.
And Indiana? They haven’t played anyone other than Oregon, and if you think the odds of lucking into that situation are realistic for any team let alone Iowa—well—you’re even dumber than you look.
Pick your team…quit bitching and do something about your misery. We we won’t fault you. You’ll be happier and we won’t have to listen to it incessantly. I mean the only time you come on HN you’re doing nothing but bitching anyway. If you want to stay with the big ten you can pick Indiana or OSU.
Here’s my offer…send me a PO box number and I’ll send you your first Indiana or OSU hoodie. I’m dead serious. Pick out a really nice Nike hoodie, send me a link and it’s yours at my expense. Ask any poster here if I’m a guy who’ll stick to my word. @HuckFinn and I go round and round over the years and even he’ll give you a reference…I’m solid. The only requirement is you send me your Hawk gear in return (I’ll pay shipping) and you never come here and rant about hating the Hawks again. Because let’s be honest…your post history shows you’re jealous of what other teams have that the Hawks will never be able to give you. You even said it yourself…
“Well dammit…not anymore…piss on that.”
Man up and send me that PO Box, pansy. You’ll look good in red, I know it.

Gotta quit letting teams score points on us every game with under 2:00 in the halves. Every game we’ve lost has had this happen. It’s ridiculous.
