**Official 2022 Iowa Football Season Thread**

[Gushawk]

I mean holy shit. Not prepping Padilla to be #1 during the bye week, throwing him out in a 2nd quarter deficit at Ohio fucking State and then giving the ball back to Petras to play against Northwestern at home would be truly unbelievable.

i think they are capable of incalculable stupidity, but I didn’t think they were capable of this

 

[cloudhawk]

Padilla, without prep or snaps, performing similar to the 3+ year starter in a 2nd half ass kicking loses him an opportunity to start is ridiculous.

 

[BluesHawk]

That would be a very poor decision.

 

[Renegade_ofFunk]

So who’s ready for another unnecessary, gut wrenching loss to Northwestern?

 

[Gushawk]

My guts are done being wrenched this season.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

It's necessary because Kirk hates us, the Iowa fans, and as an extension of that, Spencer.

 

[douglasbader]

What a bad decision on Dozen Egg Night....

 

[Gushawk]

Will be rooting for Fat Tits on Saturday if Petras awkwardly trots out.

He's George Lucas now. Helped create and sustain something great and then grew to hate the fans of it and gave a giant fuck you in the form of Greedo shooting first and Jar Jar Binks.

Live look at Spencer Petras:

We, mav

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I'm not. They've had every opportunity to do so the last year and a half and have flat out refused to even consider it.

Hm

 

[BillyBob]

Imagine thinking they were done with Petras.

 

[BillyBob]

Kurt Ferentz is over football, boyz. He's more interested in pwning the fans/media than winning football games.

Unfortunately, I very much believed they were

It’s the primary reason I think it’s time for him to go.

I don’t necessarily agree with Billy that “Kirk no longer cares about winning,” but I do think he thinks he’s protecting his legacy or some shit. He thinks he can fix Petras and salvage this season….and tell IowaFan to fuck off till the end of times. That appears to be his primary motivation at the moment

The good thing abt Iowa being bad, the dipshits are a lot easier to identify.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Someone hand me a mirror!

 

[ddevries]

I believe I can basically say the only way Iowa wins the West is if:
Iowa: Finishes 5-0
Illinois: Finishes 2-3 or worse vs NEB/MichSt/Purdue/Mich/NW

No, I know Iowa won’t do this, but I couldn’t help myself to at least check the scenario.

If you think Iowa can magically fix this historically awful offense this late in the season you don’t live in reality

 

[Geese]

Which is why they should go to a simplified offense with Labas at the helm. If he blows then hit the portal.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

It’s not like labas is a true freshman. It’s impossible for him to be worse.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Leistekow hearing Peaches will start this week.

I would like evidence of this.

 

[douglasbader]

Yeah, Halo is the only place I have seen this so far.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Actually disagree with this only bc fuck that. They aren’t winning many more games. Give him the whole playbook and take the lumps you’re already taking anyway.

oh so 5 plays instead of 3?

 

[jabberjaw]

Can we at least take away any variation of the reverse?

 

[eclone]

 

[AZmessDAWG]

May the best man win

 

[brantshawks]

Kirk?

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Better yet just let him pick his favorite scout team playbook and go with that. I’ll take anyone else’s offense at this point.

 

[Pipiyopee]

Lil Alex better put down his medical studies and get in the film room.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Both are saying "please don't choose me"

 

[Soda Popinski]

I would like evidence of this.

Yeah, Halo is the only place I have seen this so far.

It's from his text message group. He didn't cite a source.

 

[BluesHawk]

I like it. The Dynamic Duo. How will NW ever prepare for both of them?

 

[CamelTones]

Didn’t Chad (maybe it was Dochterman) also say Padilla would start against Nevada and that ended up being bull shit?

 

[CamelTones]

The only junior on the offensive depth chart that came to Iowa on scholarship is Padilla.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

That's great! Wait...is that great? Oh...it's bad.

 

[douglasbader]

What a bad decision on Dozen Egg Night....

How much would you pay on Saturday to see a slow motion replay on ESPN2 of FatBrian catching an extra large Grade A brown right square in the face?

 

[Alan Lomax]

The only junior on the offensive depth chart that came to Iowa on scholarship is Padilla.

That sorta seems impossible. But, to be fair, the Iowa offense has sorta seemed impossible too.

 

[TAIhawk]

Starting to think this is Ferentz' plan, at 67, with a $42M buyout waiting for him if he sinks the ship so suddenly that there is no choice but to can him and pay out the full amount (so he can throw a couple million to his unemployed son to keep him afloat for a bit, and he and Mary can spend the rest of their years traveling the world and living it up on us

 

[hawkeyealum]

Luckily they will be evaluating in practice so spencer will be the clear winner

 

[SteadyEddy]

I don’t think Kirk needs the 42 million to live out the rest of his life in comfort. Or give his son a lifelong handout for that matter.

 

[Soda Popinski]

Maybe move Spencer to the scout team in practice so he can face a real defense.

This stuff is always too much. He's a hard-headed guy, but he isn't intentionally tanking.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

Starting to think

No, you really aren’t.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Like i said earlier, positive byproduct of Iowa being bad is the self-identifying that happens.
