To all who say they wont watch the hawks anymore

[uihawk82]

And I read several say they wouldnt watch anymore. My reply is
Well I sure hope that you folks who are done watching for the year are also done posting on this site. We dont need you. The hawk offense could easily have had 20 points tonite or more against a team they only mustered 64 yards against last year.

And except for the kicked punt fumble which led to a 10 yard wisky td drive the defense held wisky to 7 points for 59 minutes.

Yes, not the most exciting football unless you were in the stands but they are still my team. And yes not the most dazzling football to watch sometimes but still tough gritty determined players and they are the team I like.

I will certainly keep watching. They are our team. But, the air was taken out of the tire tonight. I can't realistically see Ferentz preparing this team to run the table the rest of the way. It is possible, but I don't think likely. As I said after the N. Illinois game, this is a another 7-8 win team. More losses are coming as I think some things were exposed tonight.

I was hoping the D would be more dominate in this game. It is a pretty good Iowa D, but not the 85 Bears. Looks like more of a case of our dominate D play (up until tonight) was benefited by playing directional Illinois and Iowa schools.

The way I see it, we were the better team and we lost. That happens. If any of a number of things go right (or at least not wrong) we win by two TDs. Ferentz knew it. You could see it in his face.

I dont think they will be close to favored at PSU but this team could certainly win the other games left on their schedule.

They cant make stupid turnovers like they did today which was the difference in the game.

Stanley was looking very good until the 4th qtr.

The Off Line and running game was good and will be better against most other teams.

I like our defense except we may need to do something to help the corners.

Besides PSU though there will be most likely at least one other game we should win but will lose just like tonite

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Sadly....maybe fortunately.....Wisconsin probably spares us from having to play Bucknuts in the Conference Title Game this year. I can only imagine the beatdown that they will be looking to put on us in the future for how we destroyed them in Iowa City. Man, that beatdown will be hard to top. Most enjoyable win I have ever seen in person at Kinnick.

Penn St is going to beat us by 2 TDs. At least.

I could see 3 more losses for this team.

I'll keep watching as well. Our D is nowhere close to the 85 Bears. Those boys hit you AND wrapped up. Our secondary is like the Bad News Bears, and we have Walter Mathau as our coach. We played well enough to win IF a couple went our way. Wisconsin is not as good as some make them out to be. They just own Iowa, plain and simple.

 

[Motigerhawk]

Im tired of always having to have the "bounces" go our way to win.

When do we start playing to win and not lose.

At what point do we bring the offense into the 21st century?

We were better than this wiscy team, yet here we are, going for 8 wins again.

I will support the players. I may or may not watch now. I will not make sure there are no plans on Saturdays.

This loss was more of the same ol', same ol', boring and uninspired.

Go Hawks.

My money’s on four-plus (TDs). Hawks have no chance.

Don't be this guy. This is something Clown fans say. People are pissed bc it's the same shit over and over. Should've, could've would've.....People are tired of it.

How did you learn this? By watching App State take them to overtime? Or by watching Illinois abuse their defense with their running game for 3 1/2 quarters.

Penn States defense sucks. They are going to get steam rolled by OSU. It may be close early...but OSU can get to the QB without Bosa...and I honestly think PSU offensive line has protection problems too.

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

You people are idiots. Wisconsin was a top 5 team before last week and got a wake up call by BYU. That offensive line is full of NFL players. What wrong with you people? I'm not going to watch anymore. What a bunch of pussies.

If you didn't notice our offense went up and down the field...we had receivers running open (a common complaint) most of the night. If we don't turn the ball over twice we win. How can you blame a coaching staff for two fumbles in the punting game no less. One is just freak thing...the other...a young player didn't protect the ball...and we still should have won the damn game.

Our coaching staff did one hell of a job last night. Wisconsin had a great game plan offensively. Where were we susceptible? We are light at the DT position? Where did they attack all night with their huge offensive line...in the middle...and they played with 7 offensive linemen most of the night. For 59 minutes they had 14 points and 7 were given to them.

Turnovers is why we lost...not coaching. I'm sorry, I don't like to call people names...really...but you are freaking morons to call out the coaching staff.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

I get not planning the day around a game. I'm talking about folks saying their no longer gonna watch, or are "done" with....

If you post here, you're likely a pretty hardcore fan, I simply dont believe you're not gonna watch.

This loss is in the top 5 of suck of the last 20 years, and likely ends any special season chances. It was enormous for a few reasons, and was within grasp. A gutting loss.

But you'll watch, because you care.

 

[hawkinn3]

Winning that game and getting into the championship game are how you take the next step.

I’ll stick to listening on the radio and doing chores.

Coach not hungry? Hint! BONUS at 7 Wins....Hawk Players tough yes....

 

[vork22]

Everyone will keep watching. Just temper your expectations a little. If you tell yourself we will rarely be ranked and have no shot at being a relevant program then you won’t be so disappointed when we get beat. As long as Ferentz is here this will be the reality.

Oh I still watch... but not the same way as in the past.. when I used to yell at the TV and get jacked up.
It's more like I watching a golf tournament now.. mildy connected to what I'm watching anymore. I'm sure there are thousands just like me.

I'm not necessarily blaming the coaching staff for last night.. but I can blame them for getting dominated by Wisconsin since the inception of the West division.

Yeah, after watching our pass coverage if we cant pressure McSorley and slow down PSU run game they will score a lot of points and our offense at PSU will probably score much less
