reality + acceptance = peace

I don't mean to be negative but lets be honest with ourselves here... Iowa will not ever be an OSU or Alabama when it comes to program status. Which in turn means we will continue to be middle of the pack in recruiting and on the field performances and have "decent" seasons with a special one or two thrown in every decade. Once in a blue moon we will find a "diamond in the rough" and the Captain or whoever is the coach will get praise to having an "eye" for talent. I have just been reading everyones negativity on the boards and I too feel ****ed off about where the program is at, but after drinking my coffee and really searching deep down in my soul I found peace with it all. If I was a stud (which I am not) 4 or5* athlete from Cali, Fl, or somewhere other than Iowa and had no family ties there wouldn't even look at Iowa atm either. Sorry maybe its the coffee talking but I keep **** real. Call me a troll or what makes you warm and fuzzy inside but yall know deep down its the truth.

The one position I would highly consider Iowa for is Offensive Line. As a higher or highly touted recruit, particularly from the Midwest, staying somewhat close to home and playing for a place that gets a lot of people into the NFL at the position.

Do you guys who are complaining left and right want a "just win no matter what" attitude? Do you want SEC style football programs? Oversigning, lower academic standards, lower morals and ethics, win at any expense?

Why not? We are paying our coach SEC money! Do you really want to talk "morals & ethics" given some of the givens with [some of] cirk's players??

What you say is true, even if many dont want to except it. But that does not meen the program has not had some internel problems the last 2-3- years that can be corrected. The Iowa job is not a easy one. I happen to think KF is working to make the adjustments that we need to keep us more competitive on a year in and year out basis. I think he started the process last year and we will start to see some results this year but it is a process.

I have a relative who works at a mental health counseling practice. I can try to get you in for an appointment some time.

They take most insurance plans.

Do we really have to be Alabama or OSU, to expect our team to be coached well enough to recover a #$%^ing onside kick or stop a fake punt when everone in the stadium; with the exception of the guy counting his money, knows it's coming?

The talent isn't the major problem here. Talent can only overcome so much. It's how you use the talent.

Myth, don't waste your time arguing with somebody who thinks that talent is not the major reason a college football team wins games. Last I heard, the ratio is around 70% talent - 30% coaching in D-1A football.

Thanks buddy. If your trying to insult me it wont work. After a certain point I just dont talk to people that cant give a point of view with out a insult. I just happen to like you. Time will tell how this shakes out. We will see You may be right, and you may not. There a lot smarter people than me who belive in KF. When I see them jumping ship I will know that darn Freed was right

Thanks for the compliment 912 now go back to playing sticky tummies with your boyfriend. I was just weighing in on all the currents threads I have been reading sry I threw in my 2 cents and you don't think it was satisfactory...

And no I don't believe 4-8 is acceptable, but when we make it to the Outback Bowl with 8-4 season that is what I expect.. not the Rose Bowl or B1G championship or 5* recruits, not realistic.

I do not accept that 4-8 is the reality. If I ever do so, please shoot me.

What are you talking about? It is reality. It actually happened. That's what reality is...things that are real.

Come on man. Just jokn around with you. And, yes, you are right. I think that the vast majority of Hawk fans still think ferentz is a good coach and can turn it around. More people agree with you than they do me. That just means I got my work cut out for msyelf. :)

I'm with you Freed, I don't think he can turn it around. If he does, ok good that means the hawks are winning. But even then, will he maintain it for more than a season or two? That is probably a "No". Then we are right back where we are now.

I wouldn't call your a troll, but I think you are gay for using that frickin avatar. Is it too much to ask the top 5 paid coach in the land to have a top 25 program given the resources he has? We won't be Michigan or OSU..I get it. But we should at least be Frickin WISCONSIN!!!!!!
 
THESE AINT YOUR FATHERS HOK FANZ WHERZ THE ROSEBOWL TALK, THE HAYDEN HAWKS( I HATED THOSE ARRAGANT FULKS) THEY BLED BLK N GLD N STOOD TALL N PROUD....SO SO PROUD!!
