Why are you such a ******? You know what, I had tickets and flights (i live in San Diego), but unfortunately had to change plans...so I sold my tickets on Stub Hub (at a loss mind you because demand was low and tickets o'plenty). It happens.
Face it, there is serious apathy and displeasure among a major part of the football fan base and there is good reason for it. Check out the eyeball test...Iowa State, Maryland, and Minnesota...three games that were absolutely atrocious for a veteran football team. The offense has looked like crap most of the year, other than a few games where you ask yourself, where has that been? Yesterday was the perfect example...until we fell behind and had to change the offense, we were in our conservative, horizontal, ball control offense with little to no chance of success because it's predictable and we don't have a D1 tailback who can make that work. Yet we do it anyway and this coaching staff still doesn't realize it or refuses to.
I was the biggest Ferentz supporter out there prior to this year. I finally realized that it's "same as it ever was" in regard to the play not to lose (losing games against inferior competition) mentality. I think we can do better now or at least I'm willing to support a change to find out. Another year of losing two or three games we have no business losing (its happened every year he's been here) has gotten really freaking old. I don't think we have to settle if we are willing to pay $4 million a year to get a good coach. Bert or Bobby would come here...that's a fact. I'd take either of them over KF...in a heartbeat.
Personally, I don't buy into the fact that we are Iowa and we can't recruit well enough or better than we do. I believe it's time for a change.
