When did they say this?

 

[douglasbader]

When did they say this?

That they're broke?

All summer long.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I thought Rita retired.

 

[douglasbader]

Also, the strategy of getting a bunch of FCS younger transfers is at best in question, at worst a bust. Only 2 of them seem to have been worth it at this point.

The RB has been hurt and ineffective. The 4 safeties have been injured or shitty. Evan James mediocre at best and the other WR doesn't play at all. Most of the DL guys don't play. The OL doesn't play. The kicker and punter both got beat out.

Great job Tyler Barnes, you got Tony Diaz, and as it stands he'll likely peace the fuck out for a lot more money and a QB that can throw to him as soon as the season is over.

Maybe you should have just gotten a fucking QB.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

The thing is, they will blame it on lack of donations earmarked for NIL. But the ticket and tv revenue don’t cover all the other expenses- they still get money from the foundation to balance the budget annually. All scholarships run through the foundation and are endowed. Then there’s annual contributions that run through the foundation.

you could easily find a way to get rid of a few of those analyst roles and get better players. It’s the coaches and AD’s more than the NCAA that should be blamed for the current situation. It’s the ultimate good ole boys club and KF is among the worst offenders.

 

[Pedro]

It's all about the QB play. Get even one decent mobile QB in the transfer and this team is a contender. Unfortunately, as soon as we do that our defense will go to shit for some unforeseeable reason.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Big win for the Iowa volleyball team yesterday!

 

[Shawneemicks]

Because teams will take more chances instead of playing super conservative. The defense is good but it’s not what most believe it is

 

[BillyBob]

It’s time to talk about Lester.

 

[The Dad]

It’s time to talk about Lester.

This is retarded. He’s way better than anything we’ve had in a long time. Kirk is the problem offensively.

 

[The Tin Man]

It’s the OL

Everything is no better than average because of that.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I'm ready to throw in with Sullivan to see if he's a viable candidate for QB next season.

I already have my answer about Hank, and Hecklinski won't meet Kirk's requirements.

Welcome to the party pal

We've been a bust overall with the transfer portal. We are never going to bring in starter-level difference makers. Either d1 low level quantity guys or fcs guys that probably aren't big ten level.

 

[CUIHAWK]

I’m glad I got to witness that in person. Fuck

 

[Shawneemicks]

First down incompletion
Second down run
100% of the time
Zero self scout on that, defenses know it’s coming
I’m convinced they all went on vacation for the bye week. Fran probably hooked them up

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

The only thing I can think of is that Heck was disobedient on the play calls in some way or something dumb like that. And Hank is loyal. But someone said he checked to a run on a 3rd and 5 or whatever and mid field. So it that's it, it makes no sense.

LOL at anyone thinking that this is some sort of equal opportunity between the two. And Heck's "fucking jump" 100% was problematic for him, no question. Not like we have any sort of history with shit like this...

Kirk has a preferred self-defeating aesthetic. He can blame strip sacls and pressure on the line, and uncompetitive nonsense from guys who say the right thing afterwards.

Not going to fully agree with that, especially the "never" part. Hawthorne is out there kicking ass at a 1st Team All-Big Ten level.

Completion or not, a throw on first down means a run on second down 100% of the time.

Even if it’s second and short and perfect to take a shot.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

That's fair. I trust Parker to do more with defensive transfers.

Jackson also fit in really well at LB.

I believe for this game they gameplanned Hecklinski, Kirk panicked like a bitch, then they had to run vanilla the rest of the game because they won’t ask the young offensive linemen to do too
much.

 

[The Dad]

I would love to know how the conversation and decision to bench Hecklinski actually went down.

 

[6deuce]

We laid a turd yesterday.

I think the rest of the reason will have us looking back at this game and wondering what might have been

Very similar to the Pitt and NW games in 2008

 

[Shawneemicks]

lol at the young narrative.
gtfoh with that bs

 

[CleteyColgate]

It’s time to talk about Lester.

He did personally turn the ball over 4 times and get that punt blocked.

 

[CleteyColgate]

I would love to know how the conversation and decision to bench Hecklinski actually went down.

"This guy sucks today. Let's go to option #2."

 

[The Dad]

"This guy sucks today. Let's go to option #2."

If anyone would know sucking #2….

Throwing on first down is smart.

 

[Creed]

If I’m Hecklinski, I’m entering the portal today.

When Heck did that little sidearm flip/lateral thing, you saw Ferentz about to die walking on the sideline. It was over for him right then and there.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Correct. He couldn't hide his disgust

 

[Shawneemicks]

I agree. Best down to throw on. Just making the point the defense KNOWS what’s coming next

 

[TurdBurgler]

And it was such a nice afternoon. Getting tired of wasting beautiful fall weekends watching sickos football. Even when we win it's awful. And when we lose its just tragic. I hate this team so much.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

It’s real. We gave up our season tickets a couple years ago, which required a level of hopelessness and boredom that was previously thought to be impossible.

[Kerky]

If I’m Hecklinski, I’m entering the portal today.

That actually wouldn't be bad as it would elevate Sullivan and increase the chances of him playing and contributing this year. The turnovers and mistakes from Heck will relegate him to near permanent #2 status in Kirk's eyes. Our best bet is to have Hank re injure the shoulder and get Sullivan into a game.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Is Sullivan bad enough to play for iowa yet? He’s only in his second year, but he was recruited by Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Hecklinski is meh, and he sucks too much to be sidearming and whatever, but also Kirk is a Tard.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

If I’m Hecklinski, I’m entering the portal today.

Who would want him?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Who would want him?

well, look at where our qb’s usually end up and there’s your answer.

so probably h-back at SE Buttpirate State

 

[AZmessDAWG]

That might be a tad dramatic.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Who would want him?

The talk is that he's basically John Elway if he plays more

 

[The Dad]

That might be a tad dramatic.

Speaking of dramatic, how big of a faggot does someone need to be to get booted from game chat?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Pussies

 

[L. Wade Childress]

maybe he tried to talk football at halftime

 

[The Dad]

Pussies

What’d you say to get the boot?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

What’d you say to get the boot?

That @coff deserved to come back.

 

[champion_thedrinker]

I'm just going to go ahead and say it.

I am less than pleased about the outcome of the game yesterday.

 

[The Dad]

That @coff deserved to come back.

Thought he did under a different name?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Thought he did under a different name?

That must be what did it. I should have known that.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’m team Bessinger from here out. We KNOW Hank & heck are meh, jimmy was a Brian recruit so not much hope there.
