**Official Iowa vs. Ohio St Football Thread - 2:30pm - CBS**

[Monster]

Lester has clearly been an upgrade, but I continue to marvel at how every Iowa OC apparently runs the most complicated offense in the country.

All coaches say this stuff about their retarded players. Not just Iowa. But yeah, this offense in particular is complicated shit even for pros, and it's brand new.

 

[BillyBob]

Kaleb Brown is not in good standing.

Sure, but other teams seem to figure out how to find simple stuff for the dumbass players to do.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Brown is done in IC

 

[thrawn]

Brown is done in IC

Bold call, Shawnee.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Radio said Brown was injured

 

[TurdBurgler]

Hope we win

 

[Whatever]

Kakert said leg injury.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Radio said Brown was injured

Yep. No KB today

 

[Herbie2]

Heard KB is out today.

 

[Pedro Gomez]

Win, graduate, do it right

 

[Geese]

Radio said Brown was injured

They said the same about keagan Johnson

 

[BillyBob]

Kaleb Brown’s leg is not in good standing.

[BBK]

I'm expecting a gradual beating where we arent losing by 50 but it feels like it.

Like a bdsm video where our neck and arms are bound and they can do whatever they want but choose to lightly finger our butthole for 3 hours

Oh yeahhhhhh

[BBK]

Been kind of a rough 2nd half

 

[Matt]

It's all setting up.. Hardly a person, even on this board, thinks Iowa can win this. Most of you have us getting blown out. Kirk can get a win in the only place he has never gotten a Big Ten win and it would be #200. He has said 2009 Ohio State is his greatest coaching regret.

Iowa wins today, boyz.

lol for fucks sake

 

[BngHawk]

This is not fun. Not watchable now. TIME TO RAKE LEAVES!! But srlsly I’m a bad fan and turned it off to throw the ball around outside with my kid since I can produce more offense there.

 

[PoopyFaceTomatoNose]

Please retire Kirk

 

[Karl Hungus]

Welcome to the party, those finally figuring out Kirk needs to go

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

I don't know that he's ever looked stupider than when he called that timeout as they were converting on the fake punt

 

[Verbal]

I don't know that he's ever looked stupider than when he called that timeout as they were converting on the fake punt

The comp is 2014 Iowa State, where he called timeout right as their kicker missed the game winner, only for him to make the second attempt easily after the timeout.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Start Sullivan, run it 80% of the time.

Trying to ice is way more justifiable

 

[BBK]

Look at what Baltimore does. Running QB. Excellent RB. Good backup RB. They don't need to throw very often because the QB can always tuck and run.

I know Sullivan isn't Lamar, but we could do that and have success

 

[douglasbader]

That was a true gutless game by Kirk, it was over the moment he screwed his own team by calling a timeout on a successful fake punt and then punting for 10 yards.

It really was over the minute they decided to start Cade McNamara. What a shit show and Sullivan is 10000x better.

Sounds too much like backyard football. Kirk needs a field general that turns the ball over to really make the offense go.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

I think tOSU probably wins a natty fwiw. That’s a complete team. Still a shitshow by us - coaching in 1st half and Cade in 3rd qtr.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

and no one in the NFL can throw deep anymore because defenses have perfected the two high safety scheme.

 

[BluesHawk]

How do you play conservative when you're playing a better team than you in their stadium?
How do you continue to trot out a QB that clearly does not give you the best chance to win?
How do you still not understand you need to throw deep to win?
Why are you still playing your star RB when the game is over?
How can you continue to top yourself with absolutely stupid in-game decisions and clock mismanagement?

These are the questions someone should be asking Kirk.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Tight End U is over, too, btw.

 

[BillyBob]

Bert still has the hunger.

 

[champion_thedrinker]

Bucks are elite. Iowa program is still in decent shape. The sooner Kurt calls it a day and they woo back Bert the better.

 

[Hawkstrat]

On one hand, getting pummeled by a tremendously talented team shouldn't be that frustrating, but it really didn't feel like Iowa went down swinging.

You can't grind down a team that talented on offense. If they didn't like the way OSU lined up to defend the punt, I don't blame them for calling a timeout, but then just go for it. Don't play scared.

 

[douglasbader]

I put it in chat, and this is hilarious, but somehow Iowa still has the statistical best chance of getting to the Big Ten Championship game. Lolz.

 

[neshawk]

Running Kaleb Johnson into a 9 man front on every first down isn't a recipe for success.

Bert would have trotted 7 offensive lineman out there and been done with it.

 

[douglasbader]

I put nothing bad on the defense either. They played fine.

For some reason, Kirk Ferentz hates their guts. I wonder what they did to him to make him despise them.

 

[WizardHawk]

I hope I live long enough to see a competent QB play for Iowa again.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

It was over the moment they scheduled the game. They are just WAY better than we will ever be.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Kirk should make zero gameday decisions. He’s an old man. The game is fast, dynamic, and unpredictable. Old people are the WORST at those things.

Transition him to a late-stage JoePa role. Just without all that... off-field stuff

They were probably clowning Spencer Petras in practice.

 

[Shawneemicks]

It’s clear Kirk needs to be done. Great coach, person, ambassador etc…
It’s time

 

[douglasbader]

Meh, lesser teams beat way better teams. There was a path to a chance in this game. Score on that early possession, go for the fake punt and get a TD. Head into halftime with a 14-7 lead. It wasn't crazy.

They just fucked up their 2% chance they had by being pussies.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Typically coaches with this history of inept offense are at least on a very hot seat. Kirks seat is ice fucking cold.

 

[Lee Beevers]

It was over the moment they scheduled the game. They are just WAY better than we will ever be.

Fuck that. Kirk needed to not be a faggot and attempt that 51 yard field goal and not call a timeout like a fucking idiot. Might have still lost 35-10 but that kind of shit killed the defense which did really well in the first half.

 

[BillyBob]

Bert only needs to lose like 80-100 lbs to get back to acceptable

 

[Karl Hungus]

Saban decided years ago with much better talent that defense can't hold teams to 10 points. The Big Ten West bandaid being pulled off won't be painless.
