Not bad by Shatel. He's actually one of the better ones in Omaha. The comments though....lolololol.
"We need to recruit a "real QB" like Frazier, Crouch, etc". Yeah, I would love to see them try to run the triple option with quarterbacks that couldn't throw but 10 times a game, and when they did it was wide open. Please, bring those 'Real' QB's into Riley's system....
Another thought to expand on the above....they better Hope and Pray they get one of these solid(yes, they are solid) QB recruits pan out, cause they are trying to build a PAC12 offense, and if they don't get Great QB play, they are gonna be CRYING for a mostly RB/QB like Armstrong. They are recruiting pretty damnn good at WR, but they better start developing O and D lines....
They all forget a few very key pieces, Oline and Dline hasn't been elite in 15+years, win THAT is what won them those championships in the 90's.....oh, and being able to bring in 100 walkons and just pick the ones that panned out....oh, and they had to beat about 1 good team per year in the Big 8 and Big 12 North to win 10 make the conference championship game(many years they didn't need to beat anyone until they played Oklahoma or Texas...and when they did...Orange Bowl, NC shot).
They are still good, with outstanding tradition(they can live on that for years/decades still...but the clock is ticking).
We all agree that overall this was a seemingly disappointing Iowa seaon overall (with a redeeming finish) with a one dimensional offense but a solid defense (barring 2 games).....and we destroyed them. I'll give them that a fully healthy Armstrong likely tightens the game(those legs won them a few games....so...tough to stay healthy (right CJ?)). Doesn't change the fact our one dimensional offense abused their defense...even with Davis
F Nebby and their entitled fans. Michigan is "Back", OSU is OSU, Wisconsin has become what Iowa aspires to, PSU is getting back to very good(faster than I thought). Iowa is still a tough game for most(usually) and can still take that step(please), and you can have an upstart or 2 from the rest from year to year. B1G might be the best top to bottom league in the country this year (I'd put our top 7 against anyone's overall, and outside of Rutgers, Illinois, Purdue, our bottom 7 could hold their own)
God, I could hold my own against any nebby delusionist(not a word), cause living here I know them better than most of them do. They are so far away from what the think they should be it's not even funny, and they don't even know it. They are effectively THE EXACT SAME team they were last year, they simply won the close ones they didn't last year. Their best win this year was a .500 Minnesota team.....
Sorry for the rant all.
F'em
Go Hawks.
this was a very good read. worth the time. Nebby could be looking at a 'hawkslayer bowl' this December.
