**2026 Iowa Football Season Thread**

I'm still leaning Hecklinski

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

I’m sorry you let your feeling & emotions get the better of you. That’s so unusual for you

Yes, I'm very emotional, as you say.

It's good that we have even keeled, unemotional posters like you and Hawkness Monster (when he's posting) and Coach KF to remind me and other emotional fans that regardless of which QB KF picks, they're not gonna be great.

You have seemed rather emotional lately. It's ok.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’m glad this super important topic can be put to bed

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

17-for-25 for 205 yards and five touchdowns.

KF: "Meh. He missed a couple throws."

 

[Shawneemicks]

He’s like a fragile flower

 

[Monster]

8.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I’m just not convinced yet, but then again I wasn’t there

 

[Shawneemicks]

Based on today I’m not so sure jimmy sullivan isn’t the #2

 

[L. Wade Childress]

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Here’s the thing- I get that Kirk is the king of saying nothing meaningful. And he has always thought that the people who pay his salary are morons.

but that stupid fuck is trying to find every reason to start Hank.

 

[maxinquaye]

I’ve only seen clips of hecks day but is there even a precedent for this type of performance on kids day or spring ball? Usually they are complete shite.

 

[Renegade_ofFunk]

Our QBs are usually like 7-24 with 2 picks on kids day so this seems good.

 

[Gushawk]

Time to call it, Kurt. Your leader has identified himself. Will he be as retardedly conservative as you might prefer? No he will not. But he is a creative mover of the football and a scorer of points. Hand him the reins, get out of his way and enjoy the show.

 

[Gushawk]

He’s gonna be our gritty gutty little Stetson Bennett/Gunner Stockton born winner field general, boyz. Get on board and embrace it, Kirk, even if it might not look as statuesque and straight out of central casting as you’d prefer.

 

[3rd Generation Hawk]

And I'm sure Hecklinski and Brown aren't expecting to be coached by Vince Lombardi.

What a dumbfuck thing to say.

They are going to be coached by another HoF coach.

 

[Gushawk]

Leistekow called it a “knockout blow”.

This was a QB blowout today.

[snips]

kirk's going to start Brown, isn't' he...?

 

[Gushawk]

 

[Lee Beevers]

I expect to be able to run the ball with some strong success. Need to be able to take advantage of that success and throw the ball down the field. Hank is the guy.

I’m a very retarded man.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

There were signs

 

[Gushawk]

I like how the media are actually going out on a limb and saying it isn’t even close.

none of this “trust the coaches and not your lyin’ eyes” bullshit.

 

[Lee Beevers]

There were signs

Playas fuck up too!

 

[The Dad]

Playas fuck up too!

Not nearly as much as retards though.

 

[Kamala]

It’s a stupid thing to say about your QBs, joke or not. It serves no purpose except to lower expectations. It’s not the biggest deal in the world, but if that’s what you’re gonna say publicly maybe just shut up. @StinkyMcFadden is right this time.

 

[Kamala]

kirk's going to start Brown, isn't' he...?

100% for sure. Its obvious

 

[Lee Beevers]

How dare you?

Whose expectations?

 

[Gushawk]

Let’s move beyond the bickering and unite behind our dear old leader and his obvious new field general, fellas.

Was I happy that HaMo dug up a bunch of very prescient in retrospect gold that sprang from my fingers? No I wasn’t. But I’ve forgiven him and we are united in our support for this team and its leaders, new and old.

 

[Shawneemicks]

lol

Whose expectations?

The fans, media, and anyone who may criticize another shitty offense

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Hopefully Stank Brown does not need to take any more meaningful snaps going forward

 

[Monster]

Did you just make that up?

 

[Shawneemicks]

It would be in everyone’s best interest if brown announces his transfer this afternoon

 

[MisterFalcon]

This was the first kid's day practice I've seen where the offense dominated the defense.

 

[Monster]

I really hope this is one of those situations where the coaches have known for quite a while that heck was going to be the starting quarterback but they kept saying to the public and the team that it was neck and neck to keep him motivated. Not that he needs much motivation.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I defer to StinQy on the emotional topics

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I wish we didn’t have 28 years of data that suggest Kirk will play the wrong guy.

 

[The Tin Man]

[Thomas Wolsey]

I hope the coaches are telling the truth, Brown practices well and they look similar at practice. I also hope, like last year, pants pooping will result in bench time in favor of someone else.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

It would be in everyone’s best interest if brown announces his transfer this afternoon

That's an emotional reaction from one practice.

 

[Shawneemicks]

They need to tell him nicely imo

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

seems a tad inelegant.

Fuck off, Trumptard.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Did you just make that up?

No. People are sayin’…

 

[champion_thedrinker]

Fuck off, Trumptard.

Listen lady, this is an Iowa football thread. Keep your drama queen bullshit in the political threads.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Listen lady, this is an Iowa football thread. Keep your drama queen bullshit in the political threads.

Fuck off, loser.

 

[BBK]

I actually think Kirk will be more comfortable with a guy like Hank considering he was 9-21 for 42 yards

 

[Lee Beevers]

It’s about time that everyone GETS PISSED!!!

 

[Shawneemicks]

I actually think the only way kf starts brown 1st game is if he hates the kid because he’s gonna get booed off the field
