This season is officially a failure

[silvanthalas]

We had legitimate NC hopes going on.

Now?

No NC. No Big Ten title. No BCS.

And don't give me any of that **** about how we should be thankful to be an 8-4 team. If you want to enjoy losing seasons, YOU go find another team to follow.

And you know what else? Northwestern is our new ISU: they have a coach who simply wants to win this game more than our coach does.

Out-coached for 3rd time in 4 games. Got lucky against an Indiana team that just gave up 83. Can anyone tell me why Stanzi threw into double coverage while up by 10 and in NW territory?

 

[HaydensHawk]

Don't blame it on Stanzi. The defense let them march 85 yards down the field....

 

[CFHawk]

Seems to be absolutely no fire on the Iowa side, extremely disappointing.

And another 91yd drive for the winning score.

 

[dekhawks]

They all sucked except for AROB and Reisner.

I'd be willing to bet he didn't see the Safety.

But yeah, this season is a complete failure. Complete failure.

Ferentz and O'keefe are lucky they have Stanzi. He bails them out quite a bit with his poise.

its because Iowa is out of shape! I couldnt figure out if this is the first week back from the summer or what. these guys looked terrible

 

[silvanthalas]

Honestly, I think I'd take the INT-throwing Stanzi over this year's version. Last year's Stanzi found a way to win those games, where as this one really hasn't.

twice

 

[DYK88]

i actually don't even care any more. They got lucky many times last year and again this year. ohio state is gonna smoke us.

 

[Xerxes]

Hard for me to pin it on one play, player, unit, coach, or side of the ball.

Nobody stepped up when it mattered most.

 

[H8IAST8]

This season is a disappointment, but i think a Capital One or Outback bowl isnt all that bad. Especially if we face Alabama or Florida.

 

[UP6936]

I wouldn't call it a failure, but it is EXTREMELY disappointing. Sorry, but the Outback Bowl isn't going to do it for me this year.

 

[hoffman22103]

I'll second that OSU will demolish this out of shape defense

Playing the defending Champion Alabama Crimson Tide wouldn't?

 

[VintageHawkeye]

fosu is going to absolutely crush us next saturday
I think the Hawkeyes are demoralized and have given up. What baffles me is WHY.
We'll be lucky to beat minnesota, if this same fire-less team shows up

You kidding me? We'd get raped by them.

This season is the biggest disappointment regarding Iowa football in my life. 2006 is a close 2nd, but we have so much more talent than that team.

Nah, we never get "raped" by anyone. We play up and down to our competition every game every year.

 

[Alex51]

Stanzi has poise? Where was that poise today and against Wisky? He doesn't have a great mind out there.
