Don't be stupid.
No shit. Kirk Ferentz has absolutely no interest in traveling the world, on his dime or anyone else's.
At least give me credit as your source.
I just cannot see Kirk even coming close to embracing the changes so it would not surprise me at all if this is his last year. In fairness, it does have to suck for a long time, established coach.
I don’t disagree. But it the reality of modern college sports. The coach’s job has changed dramatically.
More like need to execute someone
Trotting out this offense seems like the bigger slap in the face to the defense.
Really, because every quote I see from a defensive player is about loyalty and sticking together as a team. I'm telling you, aggressive portal use will turn us into Miami or Nebrantska with less sex appeal. The long term damage will be far worse than this offense.
Got news for you Bob, the defense fucking hates the offense
I think there is a lot of truth to this, but I also think that gets easier with a new OC who needs guys for “his system.” Of course I also think a qb that’s an actual run threat goes miles to fix the run game immediately.
Three FGs. Nine fucking points in 28 possessions. Embarrassingly bad.
How could they not?!?
I think there is hardly any truth to it. These aren’t high school seniors pissed that a junior is starting ahead of them. This is a business to them and they understand that the transfer portal works both ways. They’re also not total idiots. Except for LaPorta. He’s really dumb.
was being tongue-in-cheek guys, geesh.
that last paragraph really speaks to tbe bitter and disgruntled part of my soul. i still can’t bring myself to hope to endure more of tbe unsightly spencer experience, but part of me would like to see the Ferentzes hoisted yet again by their own disgraceful petard.
What do you think is “full throttle in the portal?” Bob said 3, and you said 4. Did you let Douglas put you on tilt today so now you’re lashing out? I think at least 1qb, at least 2wr, and am open to 1ol…sooooo…4, and up to 6 or 7. That’s a lot of words for “I basically agree.”
I don't know. Some of them probably want to play.
i suspect Spencer Petrus prefers playing to
What the fuck is your point because you completely ignored my point. Heavy use of the portal is risky as fuck and would burn Iowa in the long run.
He has that in common with his coach.
I’’m lashing out! I would argue 7-8 wouldn’t be the arbitrary ‘too many - we’re Nebrantska!’ number. MN and Purdue took 8. Illinois took 6. Who fucking cares? Take 10 if it improves your team and covers up recruiting misses. My broader point was that these are grown-ass men. I’m sure they can handle the competition.
Wrong. The good players will be MORE likely to stay if they know other good players will be joining them.
lol. Nothing is worse than this offense.
I disagree that they are grown ass men that can handle competition. I think they are actually pretty fragile and uncertain about their talent so any time truly challenged there’s a decent chance they fold. They are modern day 18-20 year olds, social media is imbedded, personal coaches, etc, etc, etc. So you need to be careful how you challenge them.
If we can get better players we should.
Yeah, it’s gonna be great when people start taking our better players. The thing stopping that is the extreme loyalty that the staff has to HS recruits.
Nothing personal against you, it's just BHGP is so shitty
They haven’t been relevant for over 10 years
Yeah trotting out Petras types every week is the sure path to keeping the studs around.
Bob is right. You can pull in 5-6 players from the portal, but Iowa is what they are because they don't act like 90% of the other schools.
You’ll watch.
MIKEY DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY
Sure, but I think you’re misrepresenting that by a bit. It’s called developmental, and it has the 5th most nfl guys or whatever because they average the lowest in recruiting among those top 5 teams. Iowa doesn’t and won’t recruit at the same level as the other teams that put guys in the nfl, yet there iowa is, near the top. That’s development, and iowa is excellent at it.
I disagree with all of that.
I disagree with that.
