Fair weather fans

ok...everyone back on now

Would Mike Stoops have shut out the Wolverines?

This is why you don't post like ******* after one game, weird....Minnesota took MSU to the brink at East Lansing. It's college football and 18-22 yr old kids, stuff happens.

I guess KF can coach again right and Coker isn't too slow?

I hope you don't even enjoy Iowa games anymore because you're miserable people that give this fanbase a bad name.

Kudos to our D for the big stop. Shame on our O for not closing the deal out in the 4th. Get a 1st down when it counts most and milk the clock! Still some BAD BAD special teams play in kick off coverage and the squib kick.

But I was quick to criticize our D last week for a PATHETIC effort. I have to give them some props for coming through this week. They still can't get a 3rd down stop nearly enough, but they got it done when their backs were against the wall.

The negated pass interference call before half and a few other borderline calls went our way, as well they should at home, we got it done!

How about a quick hitting short yardage run. Give it to Rogers.

Why do you even bother posting about it? Kind of brings you to the same level of those you complain about....NO?

Not gonna lie, I'm still a little p#ssed about the play calling in the '91 Holiday Bowl.

No, not really. I just think it's funny when one week it's the end of the world and the next week those same individuals feel like *****....

Just hope people appreciate what the Iowa staff has done and it's fun to call out those that like to play the fence, it's entertaining.

National media mock that phenomenon and it makes Iowa fans look ignorant and stupid. I don't care if it's immature on my part, don't think it's the same level, in fact not even comparable in my opinion. it's fun.

Re: Fair weather fans

Some people go crazy, but I think it justifies some of the complaints. We don't prepare well for teams that we should beat. We tend to play to our opponent's level. I would like it if KF found a way to get our team to play to the best of its ability for every game no matter who the opponent is. I'm just glad we won and are capable of winning all of our games the rest of the season!

GO HAWKS!

Everyone's frustrations last week were very much justified. To imply that Hawkeye fans are any more fickle than any other fan base is laughable (a fan base that actually still watches their team come November). National media mock the phenomenon?!? Kudos to our D for coming through for a big W. I for one was very critical of the D last week for PATHETIC performance in MN, I'll be quick to provide praise when deserved here...how we even found ourselves in a position to lose to Minny is PATHETIC.

Re: Fair weather fans

I do kind of wonder what types of posts people expect/want to read after a loss to Minnesota?

I don't think national media concerns itself very much with Iowa message board posts, considering it barely concerns itself with our team period. Also, many complaints about our decisionmaking/playcalling are as valid during wins as in losses, i.e.:

Just one example of how we could diversify the offense without going to a crazy spread attack. Use the FB more than twice a year.
