The sad part about Weisman

[NickM]

In typical Ferentz fashion it takes injuries for the team to figure out its best players were on the bench or in Weisman's case limited to blocking. We've got two freak athletes in Law and Alston wasting away on the bench...I don't care whatpositions they play you need to find a way to get your freak athletes on the field. Weisman is so head and shoulders above Garmon at this point how could the staff not have identified that in camp and redshirted Garmon, which he really needed?

Weisman hits the hole faster and harder than any other back that's gotten a carry this year yet but for injuries he never sees the ball.

You have no idea what you're talking about coach.

 

[NickM]

Right, I have no clue. This football thing is sooooo tough. You need a masters degree to understand football. That's why so many pre-meds lead the all-american lists and so many PhD's are coaches.

Why did you feel the need to make my point for me?

Thanks...I guess.

Sucessful football coaches are among the most intelligent people walking the face of the earth. Your two posts in this thread lead me to believe you are on the opposit end of the bell curve.

No problem, Ghost. You are so wise and smart. I should have known not to get into a back and forth with you. I mean, anyone who has the audacity to question how Central Michigan could take a two score lead into halftime on the road against a Big Ten team with one of the highest paid coaches in the country and with some of the highest ticket prices in the country is obviously clueless. That's me. Thanks for letting me know how clueless I am...I guess.

Except you didn't question how Central Michigan took a two score lead into halftime. You didn't question anything. You made a declarative statement, and a rather moronic one at that.

No reason to lash out at me about it. That's certainly not going to make you smarter.

Yep, I am an idiot b/c I question Iowa's football coach. In any event, as dumb as I am it's nice to know Central Michigan apparently has an apparent genious as its coach since Ferentz is so smart and he has managed to out-gameplan him.

 

[NickM]

Gee, Ghost, now you have hurt my feelings. I'm too dumb to keep up with you, I guess. I guess declarative statements are inherently stupid if they question Ferentz. LIke you said, I am an idiot. But you keep coming back at me, so you must like picking on morons like me, or be just stuipd enough to let this moron keep baiting you!

By the way, how could such a smark cat like you conclude that my response e-mail was a "lash out" towards you? I don't think you know what the term "lash out" means

 

[NickM]

And Ghost, if you cannot read my first post and infer it has something to do with this performance against Central Michigan as well as the overall team's performance the past 2 plus years, than you need to start coming to the stupid kid classes with me instead of those AP ones you apparently are smart enough to get into.

 

[DuffMan]

You arent an idiot because you question. You are an idiot because your question is idiotic.

 

[NickM]

You are right, signed, Colin Sleeper starting over Jordan Bernstine in week 1 last year. Look, you guys have already proven I'm an idiot. Now you are just kicking me while I'm down.

 

[NickM]

Ghost and Duff, is it okay for idiots like me to question that last circle jerk with the field goal team? Just want to know the boundaries here.

 

[DuffMan]

I totally agree, but dude you are just lying there with a"kick me" sign on. What do you expect?

 

[PCHawk]

So is he dumb for saying weisman is better then garmon or for saying KF should have known before the injuries?

 

[NickM]

Duff, if you can't see at this point I am intentionally keeping the "kick me" sign on to bait you guys than you seriously need to start coming to stuipd classes with me. Because it's a message board. You can't kick me. I don't really care what you think about me, my education, my football knowledge, experience

I love this - for two people who don't know anything about me, my level of education, my past or current playing and coaching experience, etc. to get worked up to the point to call me an idiot, stupid, bottom of the bell curve, etc. b/c they disagree with me is comical. I have no doubt that you have called someone stupid on this board that does have a masters degree (maybe even in this thread .

Hey, if you don't question how it took injuries to Bullock and Garmon to figure out Weisman can run the ball, good for you. I question it. It that makes me an idiot in your eyes I'm fine with that.

Oh well, back to the game; looks like the Hawks can run this thing out and move on with a W.

Definitely the latter.

They are calling me dum because I am dumb. I do question whether Weisman would have seen any meaningful carries but for the injuries. I'm not sure Iowa wins this game with the usual Bullock/Garmon combination. Weisman said he practiced at runningback prior to the injuries. I simply question how no one on the staff thought of putting him back there to carry ball prior to the injuries. Would sure have been nice to have seen Weisman get some touches against ISU.

This thread is loaded with awesome.

You do realize Bullock was averaging like 7 UPC before he got hurt last week, right? He's done well this year, and Garmon is a potential home run hotter. Besides that, Weisman was doing well at fullback.

This isn't Brad Banks/Kyle McCann.
