This team needs your support

I'm not quitting on the players. I was out there yelling for them until the final second ticked off the clock today. The coaching staff is another story. Unless Weisman comes out and says "as long as coach stays, I'll play," I'm about just about done with the HC, OC, and DC. The dropped passes against ISU is something you expect from a young team. BUT, you expect the coaching staff to at least get them in a position to win, and to coach them to win.
 
I will say this. If Iowa goes 1-7 in conference play for example it will be more than dark outside, more like permanent darkness:).

you can't be serious with posts like this. Everyone is pi$$ed and frustruation is More than understandable...but come on man, the players care. Honestly I dont know the fix, but have to believe we will get better.

Is that why the "hands team" ran away from the second onside kick as if the football was radioactive? Because they're pi$$ed??
Hokay, Walker, whatevs you say brah.
 
I haven't quit on the players, or the coaches.

But I have quit getting worked up about losing. I've quit yelling at the TV, and getting in a bad mood after we lose.

This season in one word: "meh."

It was a crapshow on the onside, cant argue with that. I just have a hard time believing the players were coached to do that, don't you? I think that was player error.

Wasn't more than half the hands team on the other side of the field? How did they run away from the play? And didn't more than half of the hands team on the onside side of the field do what they were supposed to and take out a couple of CMU players. Onsides rarely work because it normally takes a freakish bounce to get it; that would be football. However, MUCH less often the onside works because a player simply blows his assignment. That was the case in this game. And the coaching staff didn't do theirs in having the players prepared.

The Hawk coaching staff was outcoached most of the game. They were outcoached on the onside, too.

There's no need to be sophomoric.
The facts are evidence enough that not only do the players need to do their jobs, but the coaches need to do theirs as well.

The coaching staff is solely responsible for ensuring that their players are properly coached for each & every situation. The coaching staff is paid to ensure that their players are prepared, and that the players on the field at any given time are the best they can be at their position and duties.

Do you think the Iowa coaching staff is fulfilling these objectives?

I don't.

Watch the reply of the 2nd onside kick a few times, and then get back to me.
I don't get the "sophomoric" crack. Keep that kind of crap to yourself.

That doesn't really surprise me.
I don't have to watch it a few more times to know that more than half on the hands team was on the side of the field that CMU didn't kick the ball. That's why they didn't. Ya'know, brah, kick it to dat side of da field. So, no, those players did not 'not care.'

And there were players on the weak side of the hands team that did their job. So, no, those players did not 'not care.' There was one, maybe two players that blew their assignments. You want to say those players blew it? Go for it. I agree. You want to say the coaches blew their responsibilities for not having players in the game that know and do their jobs in an onside kick situation? Do it. That's what I'm saying to.

But if you're saying that the players don't care or are scared then keep that crap to yourself. It's petty and sophomoric.

I said nothing of the sort. I said that they're poorly coached. I am not upset with our players, I'm upset with our worthless PoS head coach and his schitty staff.
Is that clear, fella?
 
Scorpio stole about $10K of my v cash. By the way, I actually think you two agree. But forget about me, and carry on.

The kid had a "duh" moment. I won't bust on him for it. And I won't bust the coaches out for it. There were times that I would question the coaches calls in this game, but not that one. I agree with the 0P. And I will still root for this team (and the coaches).
