Suck for Luck mentality

So now that we got that commitment from the running back from Florida, do we still have to suck for the rest of the season?

Its kinda like watching SNL, you remember how good it used to be, so you turn it on each Saturday, then in a few minutes you realize how bad it has become and wonder why did I do that once again

I was talking to a friend yesterday about the NW game and he said something I've seen posted here before: "I hope they lose, so things heat up for KF."

I am sorry this is one wagon I refuse to get on. I would never hope the Hawks to lose a game. I watched everyone of Licklighters coached games it was excruciatingly painful, but I did it the whole time hoping they could pull it out.

My hope is that they win despite how i feel about KFs tenure as head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Has anyone else heard people say this? Do you feel this way?

Better question is do you secretly fill this way or does it make you feel better thinking about it after a loss?

I have my issues with the staff but there is no way I want them to lose in order to get a new coach. Even when Lickliter was here I could see that 3rd year things weren't working out, but I didn't want Iowa to lose. I cheer for the team and not coaches. I've never understood that line of thinking. I HATED when Brad Childress was the coach of the Vikings but didn't want the to lose. Same when some fans wanted the Vikings to tank last season so they'd get a higher draft pick.

Dude, that's like only 8 pts a game. I don't think we'd win any of the remaining five let alone the B1G

This seriously got me. Well played.

Never will root against Iowa altho I admit that I was starting to think that way with Lick. If Iowa squeaks out 5 consecutive one point wins and takes the West, I will be estatic.....not into style points like some on here...just Win! Clearly for some, if KF wins ugly, not good enough....but it is for me...Just Win, baby!

Losing to Isu and Maryland is what's not good enough.

Why don't we start by acknowledging that?
