The official Muck Michigan Go Iowa for the Big Ten Title Game thread

[cincyhawk]

Honest question which one is the bitch? Barta or Kirk?

From the talk with the players before the game, it sounds like he got another extension.

He deserves it, but his son... needs to go.

Look at the bright side, we fucked Notre Dame.

This in of itself makes it worth it

If we pull A&M in a bowl we will lose by 50

Or maybe more

Sad Hawkeye noises.

I thought the NCAA would have refs that would slant it in our favor so ND could get in. Guess it wouldn't have mattered.

Nope. It’s recruiting failure. No coach could make a Big Ten OL with these kids. Other than Linderbaum none of these dudes should be playing P5 ball. They might develop into that role, but not right now.

The only senior OLineman on the entire roster is a 5’10” former walk-on. That’s a horrible recruiting failure, and it’s not the fault of a brand new coach.

Yes - but who has the overall responsibility for the offense? Talent & scheme?
A lack of talent is the problem, not a pass.
Maybe offensive talent just doesn’t want to play for Brian (or Kirk).
Would you?

Will BF pull an Exotic out of his bag of tricks

Wheel a baby carriage on the field

Yeah, that's the ticket

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Anyone who can’t see that this is 100% on the OL and that there aren’t any plays that could be called to fix this thing, is an idiot

Oline is definitely a huge issue. But inside the 20 the playbook appears to be about 5 plays.

We've moved the ball... but I side the 20 playcalling can make a difference. But your right, oline is and has been an issue

This 10-2 season alone has brought us 4 more years of tire spinning.

If you like participation trophies

What is a B1G title going to do for you? It wouldn't get us to the playoffs.

 

[Garandx]

Dear God they started with a pass

 

[briney11]

Padilla probably picks up more yards running there

Conference title is the highest accomplishment you have complete control over.

Oh crud, so does much get bumped to #1 with GA losing today?

I don't know. They got worse as the year went along, though. I just don't see Iowa doing any better next year with this line.

 

[Seth53]

Punt! Yes!

No.

Bama does

 

[Garandx]

Punt! Yes!

Surrender punt

 

[hawkinn3]

We don’t deserve to be ranked but my guess is we skip to 23
