The next 4 games will be the determining factor in how the KF Era ends

I tell ya one thing. A performance like that completely eliminates any possibility of a split locker room or a players against coaches mentality.

I buy that assessment....the question of actual player "buy-in" will certainly show up favorably if this recent performance is duplicated again this week vs Minny. Play calling, personnel, emotions, execution, etc. Up to now, this team has represented Sybil.
 
Na, not really. Now it's about salvaging a season where we should've been undefeated heading into Wisconsin. We haven't beat a single FBS team this year with a winning record. Now if we finish it 4-0 that will be quite a feather in KFs cap. But you can't really erase the feeling of being out of the playoffs after game 3.

It's a bit shocking to me to see how many people have said the word "playoff" this week in regards to Iowa, as if the Hawks actually had a legitimate shot at the playoffs prior to the season. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see it someday, but this year wasn't reality. I don't believe even a 1-loss Iowa team would have into the playoffs considering the soft schedule.

There is no way in hell that even with a 11-1 or undefeated record Iowa would be in a 4 team playoff. We'd be hosed like Oregon was when Nebby took their spot in the NC game. The powers that be would rather have a 2 loss SEC team.

Agreed.

The schedule was always going to work against Iowa if the record was stellar. Somehow, someway, the SEC will likely get 2 teams into the playoff, and then Oregon, Florida State, TCU, Ohio State and Michigan State will be fighting for the final two spots.

Three of those teams mentioned probably will not make the playoff, and those are all good teams. Two of the Power 5 conferences likely won't even be represented. Pretty tough road, especially when we're talking Iowa, whose offense is way too inconsistent and unexplosive and whose defense is far too young to be even considered close to one of the top four teams in the entire country.

Certainly agree with post...just wanted to add 2 other legitimate contenders for playoff...Notre Same and K State...but they too have some tough upcoming games to play, but if they win out, watch their stock rise, certainly over our B1G teams.

The fact that we won't even get to test your theory is a sign of failure. I'm not saying we were destined to go undefeated, but killing the dream in September is a sign that Kirk dropped the ball when he made sure CJ wouldn't have a chance to rescue the ISU or MD games.
 
Ill do yours if you do mine. Crossing a interstate slowly is no problem, and the board will be indebted to me for getting this alt gone.

Fine.

Post a video yourself crossing I-80 at rush hour on a weekday, wearing a HawkeyeNation t-shirt as identification, and I'll leave the board forever.

Must be moving at a snail's pace. No sprinting or jogging.

Well see, now you are changing the bet.

As to who has more "thumbs down". Welp da haters out there span the thumbs down to anyone who doesn't toe da haters line. For instance you have given 52 thumbs down, mysteron 45, etc. whereas I have given 4. Go ahead and post the poll if you want, I could list the names that don't like me that would vote against. My guess is everyone else would vote off the alt troll that is rollingthunder. It doesn't take a freaking scientist to spot you idiots who join and come out blazing like trolls from post one. I'm not sure why JD lets you keep your alts, but whatever I'm not da man paying the bills.
 
I have a nearly 4-to-1 upvote-to-downvote ratio.

I'm doing just fine, Skippy.

In fact, it's a lot better than yours. Hmmm...

Getting up votes from other cyfans doesn't mean you're actually contributing and they're not respecting your posts. It's the cyfan gang mentality. Cyfans are like politicians where they always vote along party lines. The difference is the politicians can fool some of the people some of the time. Cyfans aren't fooling anybody. Maybe we should be like cyfan and just ban anybody with their first negative post about Iowa.

Skippy, which former poster used to use the term skippy all the time. Skippy, I wish I could remember who this poster used to be.
 
Thumbs down for this post? That might be a little rough

I doubt KF has a bigger supporter on here than me. But I do belive his Legacy is at a tipping point. If he can put a good 3-4 year run togather and I think he could. All will be fine

Come on, you know who it was. Real piece of crap, got banned with the other losers.
 
pretty sure an undefeated Iowa team would be in a 4-team playoff, there are just 2 undefeated teams left in CFB power 5 conf with 5 games to play. Iowa would have wins over currently ranked WI, NE and either MSU or OSU either of which will be ranked in top 10 by B1G CG.
 
9+ wins: Stays on course to passing this on to BF

8 or less: Barta starts putting out feelers
