    Tough Loss

    I tend to hold this optimistic outlook as well. But, it all hinges on every piece sticking together, and we don't know that that's going to be the case for the full 4 years remaining on his contract. It could be just one or two. Or maybe even zero. I want to believe we can keep the core...

    Tough Loss

    Reminds me a lot of 2018. Almost all of the wins, blowouts. Four losses, all devastating 4th quarter heartbreakers. Wisconsin (I still get PTSD on punt returns when the ball is trickling around on the ground not yet downed), PSU (Stanley INT at goalline), Purdue (phantom offensive holding...

    Duck Hunt at Kinnick Slaughter...Fly High, Hawks

    This feeling is so familiar now that I'm not as upset as I should be. And that pisses me off.

    Duck Hunt at Kinnick Slaughter...Fly High, Hawks

    We are so godawful at 2 point conversions. Which makes us scoring on that 4th and goal from the 3 all the more amazing.

    Duck Hunt at Kinnick Slaughter...Fly High, Hawks

    Game was over if we miss that. That was the sort of thing we needed to swing our way if we want to pull this out and it happened. Game on.

    Duck Hunt at Kinnick Slaughter...Fly High, Hawks

    Wetjen is exciting and explosive as hell in the return game, but between this and his costly mistakes in the ISU game, his praise should be tempered.

    Where was your magic tipped ball catch this time, Iowa State? Goddamnit, man.

    Oregon vs Indiana in a Tight One

    These results are making me extra mad about our two close losses. With PSU crashing out and Oregon looking mediocre, we can win those two games in Kinnick. The playoffs were there for us this year and we squandered it.

    Kurt vs Curt Gamethread

    That team was in the playoff last year, beat a ranked Illinois team by a hundred. We had them beat if we only had our starting QB in the game. That nepotism shit ruined us but I’m sorry I’m not signing up to be the 2025 Wisconsin Badgers.

    Kurt vs Curt Gamethread

    So people’s reaction to this luck ass loss is to want a regime change to get boatraced by 40 in this game?

    Bill Raftery

    You can say it. But I have to disagree. He doesn't really offer much besides his canned lines he seemingly plucks from his soundboard. Talks too much, often over the game. Never feels like he really knows anything about the teams that are playing. And that stupid rapidly-spoken thing he does...

    I will tell you guys....if Iowa does not make the Final Four this year

    Most pessimistic take I’ve ever seen from a fan of a team ranked #2 in the country. Well done.

    Make your last minute Iowa seeding predictions

    Final guess: 9 facing 8 FAU for right to play 1 Houston. Hoping for: 10 facing 7 Missouri for right to play 2 Marquette. Would be happy with: 9 facing 8 Auburn for right to play 1 Houston (or Kansas). Would hate: 9 playing 8 Memphis for right to play 1 Alabama.

    Will BF Be OC Next Spring?

    Here's the exact quote: "I would say I did the best I could this year with the pieces we had to try to put the team in position to win." Breaking down why it sucks: 1. Throws the players under the bus, as previously mentioned, which should be anathema to coaching 2. He is not saying he tried...

    That is definitely part of it. And I'm sort of inclined to just say there's a systematic mismatch between offense and defense, overall, in the conference in its current state, and it is what it is. But I just don't understand how we so egregiously fail at blocking on such a high percentage of...

    What is this line's major malfunction? Seriously: what explains the offensive line play being this impossibly bad?

    How Iowa matches up against Wisconsin?

    A typical Wisconsin defense would be good enough to stonewall our offense (I'm talking one of those we-can't-even-score-a-TD-with-1st-and-goal-inside-the-five type affairs). But that is not this year's Wisconsin. I like us in this game as long as someone on the punt return team doesn't...

    Bright Sides…

    I'm a generally optimistic person so gonna dump a list of 10 positives. 1. We have the statistically worst offense in the country and are close to being 2-0 in spite of it. 2. We won 10 games last year with an offense that was only slightly better than this. 3. The defense and special teams...

    Post Mortem: 7-3

    People are gonna talk about how bad Petras was -- and he sucked -- but the offensive line was even an order of magnitude worse. What the hell is wrong with our offensive line? Zero push all game against an FCS defense.
