Only 2 more sure losses until Aug. 31st, 2013 and what to look forward to next year

douglasbader · 11-10-2012, 11:58 PM

Enjoy the last 2 blowouts and finishing the season with 6 straight losses. All you have to look forward to is de-commits of guys like Delano Hill in December and January, potential transfers, perhaps Campbell leaving for a better job, eventual late offers to guys with offers from South Dakota State or the MAC and the signing of the worst class since 2008.

We will have the usual Signing Day press conference in February where Ferentz looks like dogshit and will finally declare that Greg Davis is coming back after 2 months of silence.

Then it is on to Spring Ball where Ferentz will look surprisingly well rested and tan from his week on a cruise ship. Spring will bring the usual 1 or 2 devastating injuries during the first few weeks of practice.

From there, people will happily show up to the Spring "Game" and realize that none of the QB's have developed worth a shit under Greg Davis and the Offense looks the exact fucking same right down to the 3 yard out on 3rd and 4.

You will get the usual transfers after Spring Ball and into the summer until finally arriving at August.

I will of course be full of pep and optimism, likely posting ridiculous predictions such as the D-Line will be good and Iowa will win at least 8 games. I'll be on the Ferentz bandwagon the same as always.

Fall camp will get under and then the season will almost be here.

Enjoy!

I am hoping that the whole Mayan calendar thing is right so that we do not have to suffer through hawkeye football next season... the end of the world is preferable at this point.

At least the basketball-football thing seems to cycle at the right moments where we aren't stuck with two total dog crap sports

Erik Campbell and torry will both leave

I'd be fine with this.

Also, I think Ol' Doug's pretty much spot on.

The EC myth needs to die. The WRs suck and can't catch.

Would Tim Dwight be capable and/or interested?

StinkyMcFadden · 11-11-2012, 08:53 AM

Fuck getting former players. Players like Bob and Dwight were great because they were physical freaks. You can't teach that.

FrodoTBaggin · 11-11-2012, 09:58 AM

So the scariest environment imaginable. That's all you had to say, scariest environment imaginable.

Shawneemicks · 11-11-2012, 10:48 AM

I think Morgan is the only coach on that staff that's worth a fuck & he's like 90.

hawkeyealum · 11-11-2012, 10:55 AM

I'm willing to give bf and woods a pass. The oline was actually decent before the two starters went down. The players seem to like levar and its not fair to judge his impact on the dline because we all (or most of us) knew going in to the season that it was going to be a problem.

Parker gets the finger for not putting a scheme and players in place to compensate for the line. Fuck him.

That said, I'm glad to hear Kirk use the word. It is out of character, and tells me that he's frustrated. The behavior that frustration results in ... hunker/double down vs realization that major changes are needed ... will determine how his tenure ends. I think odds are 75-25 at best that hunker/double down is the response. He's stubborn, and I doubt the sting of abysmal embarrassment is enough to overcome it.

atemp · 11-11-2012, 02:26 PM

Is Ray Hamilton questionable as a transfer as well? Also, Iowa might be slight favorites to start next season at home vs. NIUE, who returns quite a bit. Could have to wait until Missouri State to get off the slide.

Mr. Hawk · 11-11-2012, 03:35 PM

I'm completely oblivious to this year's recruiting class. How are we doing?

Probably better than 08' and 09,' but really not a whole lot to be excited about.

So far according to rivals we have one 4-star (a safety), thirteen 3-stars, and one 2-star.

Mr. Hawk · 11-11-2012, 03:40 PM

We need to sign 15 tailbacks.

Our stud 4-star S is getting interest from LSU, so you can bid him farewell. Our other 4-star already left to Indiana.

We have a commit from a QB whose other offer was Lamar.

No D-ends or RBs.

No problem.

Soda Popinski · 11-11-2012, 04:01 PM

Four star safeties shouldn't bother to come here. They won't play anyway. We have tanner fucking miller bitch.

Shawneemicks · 11-11-2012, 04:23 PM

Everyone had a early commit boner, but the truth is that this class sucks donkey dick.

It appears as if our most sure handed receiver has yet to catch a pass this year.....

#91 DL Daumantas Venckus-Cucchiara (FR)

hawkeyenerd · 11-12-2012, 12:06 PM

we just need to execute better.

L. Wade Childress · 11-12-2012, 12:20 PM

the new rivals 250 is out. iowa is really in great shape with several kids on there (plus scheel) which is a goddamned miracle considering whats going on. pretty much every kid mentions how iowa is attractive due to putting guys into nfl and the fan support.

QB thorson, RB jones or wilbon, ATH scheel, OT pierschbacher would all be great gets
