Big 10 network showing other press conferences. Nebby new guy on now. He just said “It’s simple. To win you gotta score one more point than the other team.” Someone tell KF and BF. I don’t think they know that right now.

Fuck this shit. I didn't watch a single minute of the 2nd half last weekend and listened to it horrified as I sat in the GUNITE!! pool.

Not going to bother watching this week either. I'll torture myself while listening to Dolph and Eddie slur their way through it.

Spencer, how embarrassing is it to be part of a team where you’re the best and seemingly only option?

They think you need to score one point.

With this news, I'm not sure who KF hates more at this point. Petras or Brian.

Abusing the kid (SP) by keep putting him in situations where has no chance to succeed because he isn't near good enough. And making the country think your son is the worst OC in the country - instead of just not very good at it - because the QB sucks on a historical level and has to try and work around that insurmountable obstacle.

What I love about Petras' explanation about what they are working on with him - "when to throw the ball" - is that they are trying to coach instinct into him. Instinct isn't coachable. Either you have it, or you don't. And clearly, Petras doesn't have it.

And even if it was coachable, the starting QB of a Power5 team - who's in his 4/5th year in the program - has to be instructed as to exactly WHEN to throw a ball? I mean, really?!? That right there illustrates why everyone else but KF (and BF?) is so angry about them staying with Petras at QB1.

This stuff makes me think even more than Tony Ravioli has actively hurt him with this 'dovestail 5 snap to mid-deep cross hatch' bullshit.

It's like the guy takes drills that are supposed to just develop muscle memory and turns them into precise things to memorize and recall under pressure.

It's because they don't know shit about the QB position. Maybe instead of handing the QB job over to Brian, they should have, I dunno, hired an actual QB fucking coach. Would have been a good start.

No seriously, go shot gun no huddle and just let him do whatever. I guarantee it'll work better
Right. Stop with all the coaching. No mechanics. Go use whatever god given ability you have. See man, throw ball. Don't try to do anything any particular way. It can't be worse. He can't overthrow ever ball into the flat MORE.

Twice a game, he lines one up and snaps off a throw. Usually in quadruple coverage, but it's a throw on a line. Just go throw the fuckin' football.

My guess is that is precisely why they gave it to Brian. Someone else would have pushed for changes - something KF simply can't abide.

It can't be any worse. I actually think the key, at this point, to getting anything out of Spencer is to just tell him to forget everything he's learned and just throw the ball. Whatever happens, happens. Just let it fly kid (or young adult).

I think Kirk Ferentz hates football. I think he is a generally nice, caring guy. But when it comes to football he's like, "fuck anyone who cares about this sport and anyone who plays it."

In all seriousness, your best bet might be to call the ticket office. Can't find anything on seat numbers online, and I can't do any checking before Saturday.

In stubhub you can filter by aisle seat. Maybe choose a single and go from there?

If you don’t trust any of the other three QBs on scholarship go play better than the worst QB in FBS zero if then should return next year.
Whatever positive tangible attributes Spencer Petras in theory brings to the starting position, further complicating his role seems very unlikely to unlock.
You doing alright? These sentences fuckin suck
