**Official Iowa vs. Maryland Football Thread - 11:00am - BTN**

[Brad Wesley]

Kaepernick also sucked ass at that point in time.

Correct, if he could play, he would’ve stayed in the league. Recently as this year he was trying to get back into the league. That was after he compared the combine to a slave auction.

Mike Vick found a starting role after bankrolling a dog fighting ring.

Saturday and next Friday are going to be complete bloodbaths.

Saturday and next Friday are going to be complete bloodbaths.

You’re probably right but I could see a scenario where Higgins, Jackson and Black rally the troops.

 

[ivan_drago]

Well, he sure ain’t getting any help from Castro or Harris.

 

[thrawn]

I just want transparency. There doesn't need to be a cap or anything like that, but everyone should know who is getting what and where it's coming from.

All the secrecy and rumours are garbage. Everyone deserves to see how sleazy this really is

I just want @ivan_drago to finally own up and take responsibility for what he’s done.

 

[Brad Wesley]

Well, he sure ain’t getting any help from Castro or Harris.

Jay should threaten to beat their asses but he’s probably too nice to do that.

 

[BVHawk95]

We need a Jack Campbell or a Pat Angerer to choke a bitch out.

 

[brantshawks]

I got a VRBO for next Friday but will be waiting until after the hawks lose this weekend to get tickets. Between that and the cold temps, may be a pretty easy block of tickets to buy.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Going to be frigid next week

 

[douglasbader]

College football is ruined for programs like Iowa. You now have a loyalty based hard work development program where senior leaders just quit the moment things get tough.

Castro and Harris gone. Cade quit (who cares).

What a shitty thing Ivan and Jay Bilas did to our beautiful spot.

 

[BuffettHawk]

Has anyone said Castro is not going to play this weekend? I haven't seen that rumor.

 

[ivan_drago]

I personally told them to all quit.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Well stop doing that

 

[douglasbader]

Has anyone said Castro is not going to play this weekend? I haven't seen that rumor.

Rumor but sounds like a solid one. Hope it isn't true as he was at media availability.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

RUINED!!!

 

[douglasbader]

RUINED!!!

Just like your cornhole on a Saturday night.

 

[Monster]

I hope everyone involved learned a valuable lesson with Cade. Paying a guy who quit on his previous team the moment he was removed as the starter and then gifting him the starting role on your team and tanking half a season for him was a really dumb decision.

Kirk needs to treat the QB position as a merit based position just like all the other positions. Sort of like he should have treated the OC position.

I don't think it matters though, my guess is Kirk is about to coach last 3 games of his career.

True, but at the time they brought Cade in did they really have a better option?

 

[thrawn]

True, but at the time they brought Cade in did they really have a better option?

firing Brian and resetting QB entirely?

 

[Hawkstrat]

Why is bohannon getting a pass?

 

[Monster]

firing Brian and resetting QB entirely?

Lol well that wasn't really an option until the AD stepped in.

 

[BVHawk95]

Why is bohannon getting a pass?

He isn't, from anyone with working memory.

Fuck him with a cactus, sideways.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Tyreek Hill, Kareem Hunt, nobody cares as long as they're able to play. Once they have several suspensions and can't be counted on to be play like Greg Hardy, they become expendable.

If Ray Rice was 24 and coming off a 1,000 yard season, he would have been back.

Anyone who thinks the NFL cares is wearing blinders.

Its cares about breast cancer awareness tho

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Get with it mh, now it's all about the troops

 

[tallperson54]

I would hate it selfishly, but college sports need to just go away. It would be a net win for society for colleges to just focus on being colleges. Let the big sports create a better minor league system and let the Olympic sports operate at the club level or, if the athlete is good enough, join some sort of unaffiliated private club.

 

[Verbal]

The colleges need that sweet, sweet cash flow.

This MIGHT be a slight overreaction.

Also, I’m okay with no Castro. Let the Koen era officially begin.

[CamelTones]

Once players started opting out of bowls games, this was the inevitable next step.

 

[ivan_drago]

There is ONE FUCKING WEEK LEFT.

 

[Lee Beevers]

If Jermari and Sebastian quit on their college football careers with this little time left then they are both tremendous fucking faggots. Prove me wrong, Hawks!!!

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Model players returning for an extra year of NIL and then quitting before the end of the season has those soldiers turned mercenaries in The Rock vibes. Very sad.

 

[OlePeep]

Kaepernick also sucked ass at that point in time.

I believe "tossed salad" is the preferred nomenclature

 

[2HawkFans]

It would be nice to see this team come out with a pissed off attitude and chip on their shoulder for the last two games. Not expecting it but who knows......

 

[BuffettHawk]

Ivan has ruined our Saturdays forever.

Fuck that POS.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Probably coming for our Sundays next

 

[Mr. Hawk]

I never liked him to begin with.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

This will be a Kirk Tears game. Mark me.

I was going to ask this are Castro and Harris ones getting paid. If so, fuck you- get your ass out on the field. Same goes for Cade, but meh

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

This will be a Kirk Tears game. Mark me.

Bookmarked.

 

[BngHawk]

This will be a Kirk Tears game. Mark me.

 

[Verbal]

They should win tomorrow, but I'm a little worried about a Michigan State redux.

If Kirk were to retire, doing it right after beating Nebrantska next Friday would have some nice symbolism to it. He got his ass kicked by Nebrantska in the '99 season opener to begin his tenure.

Not a fucking chance. Athletics are a major way colleges keep their names/goodwill fresh for alumni and drive donations not just for athletics. Look at the trajectory of Alabama’s general endowment since Saban became coach. Look how Boise State went from a juco to the preeminent school in that state (over the flagship and land grant) because of success in athletics the past 25 years.

Yeah but that’s because you’re a dumbfuck.

There’s literally zero chance these universities are going to be a part of a CBA type of deal. That’s coming

 

[Shawneemicks]

What they will do is allow the football program to use their name & facilities for a price. So in that sense they’ll remain a part of the school

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Kick that faggot qb off the team.

you’re going to have to be more specific.
