Sounds like they did

"First and foremost, our goal is to win the game and we did. We certainly have some areas we need to work on with the offense, but style points in a victory has never been anything we're concerned with."

I feel like that has probably been said verbatim.

 

[The Dad]

How many times a week does Kirk watch the Baltimore Ravens 2000 Super Bowl Champions commemorative DVD?

 

[The Dad]

Probably still has it on VHS.

 

[MikeyJoe]

The six hour film session is probably reasonably convincing in an offseason. Not enough to cancel out the bad product on the field, but anyone talking about their craft for hours could sound sharp and prepared. The problem here is that the other guys are the same or better at it.

Correct, as was pointed out this summer about us dumb fans not getting it.

You're probably right, we don't. The problem is that opposing defensive coordinators who aren't dumb fans do really seem to get it.

Offensive touchdowns by game since the Maryland game last year:

SDSU - 0
Kentucky - 2
Michigan - 0
Nebrantska - 1
Illinois - 1
Minnesota - 3 (Padilla game)
Northwestern - 2 (Padilla game)
Wisconsin - 1
Purdue - 1
Penn St - 2

13 touchdown drives in 10 games, after 7 such drives in the Maryland game alone. That seems bad.

Next do how many yards and plays those drives went.

[Shawneemicks]

Spence doesn’t give a fuck whatcha all think.

[Thomas Wolsey]

Spence doesn’t give a fuck whatcha all think.

He probably should have that attitude.

 

[Shawneemicks]

No one wants to hear this but keagon is not gonna be around long.

 

[Brad Wesley]

 

[Creed]

Oh good, the team appears to be responding with stubbornness. That should go over well.

 

[JD720]

Damn. I was hoping he just meant he wasn't going to comment on another player's injury, but the follow up sounds worse.

I’d really love to see a national comparison of these numbers and then have them put up on 15 billboards around Iowa City

 

[newsbreaker]

Purdue talks a lot of shit for a team that’s going to win 7 games.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Spence doesn’t give a fuck whatcha all think.

He may suck at it but that’s what he’s supposed to do.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Not suck would be good

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Oh good, the team appears to be responding with stubbornness. That should go over well.

I get it though. Especially with the boos/TOXIC! stuff they heard Saturday. I don’t think you’re gonna get too many players to say “yeah we deserve it”.

 

[MisterFalcon]

Sounds like Ferentz and company are beginning to circle the wagons already. Fine it if helps, but not a great sign after game 1.

 

[The Dad]

They beat the shit out of us so I guess it’s somewhat justified.

 

[MikeyJoe]

It's dumb to overreact to this stuff. Every single one of us could have known exactly what they were going to say about it.

 

[thrawn]

Iowa went from 163 votes and 28th to 0 votes in the AP, which is actually pretty impressive off a win.

Somehow they are still 30th in the coaches’ poll.

 

[cloudhawk]

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

I hope Keagan freaked the fuck out on Spencer and Brian at practice when another errant Spencer throw almost got him killed by Campbell.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

After watching Charlie Jones, I have a feeling that Keegan is gonna take his VAIDS to another campus.

 

[Saul Berkley]

I wonder if Tony Raccioppi or whatever the fuck his name is, is going to put this Petras peformance against SDSU on his website?

 

[nolookpass]

I wonder if Tony Raccioppi or whatever the fuck his name is, is going to put this Petras peformance against SDSU on his website?

is Tony R on the Twitter? I am guessing people have reached out.

 

[Kerky]

Damn. I was hoping he just meant he wasn't going to comment on another player's injury, but the follow up sounds worse.

Wonder if Keagan was even on the sidelines on Saturday.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

He was.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

 

[SondyRules]

 

[KitKatApples]

Holy shit, he looks even fatter in that pic

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

That's a board member of the GLUs, so treat him with some respect.

So Petras has 4 TD drives that started in Iowa territory??.??

In that time period, yes.

 

[champion_thedrinker]

I feel like it's time to transition from Kurt to Bert.

Fuck that noise. I don’t want that fat fuck anywhere near this program.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Not even RG?

 

[Greg Obrecht]

It was quite hot at the game.

 

[champion_thedrinker]

Wrong. He has the perfect offensive philosophy to compliment Phil Parker's wizardry.

 

[champion_thedrinker]

He might even consider recruiting a mobile quarterback. Hard to believe a program dedicated to ball control would put zero effort into recruiting qbs who could steal several first downs a game with their feet. Seems kind of racist, tbh.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I wouldn’t mind Bert at OC. He wouldn’t let this offensive atrocity stand. Probably tell Kurt to GFH too

 

[BBK]

Shit Id fuckin love to have Bert at OC. Id probably fuck a tranny just to make that happen

Give it to LeVar. Today.

 

[Gushawk]

Give it to LeVar. Today.

I’d be interested in the results of this experiment

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

 

[Gushawk]

Throwing Brian to the “wolves” tomorrow is a somewhat interesting move for Kirk. Hard to speculate as to motives, but could be a “this is your baby; own it” type move. Genuinely want to hear what he has to say. I think the odds of a full blown “circle the wagons and stay the course” message are about 90%, but hoping for a slip up or moment of candor.

 

[CamelTones]

This was scheduled well in advance. This wasn’t something they decided to do today.
