Honest question, what hurts more right now. The fact that ISU is a top 25 team and Brian looks completely lost out East or that the Hawkeye fan bible KenPom has ISU better preseason in basketball? I would guess it's option A but I know a lot of Hawkeye fans have packed it in for the season and moved on to basketball for some reason

The football teams performance is more of a concern for me right now, especially on the OL.
I dont put a lot of stock in preseason rankings, whether its an official unofficial poll, KenPom or the AP.
I just think Brian is in way over his head. He just doesn't have it.
I can get on board with that, I know there is a lot of hype about Iowa basketball from within the state but didn't know if the lack of national respect was painful or not.
7 games into his tenure might be a little quick to say if he is in over his head.
7 games is a pretty big sample size and you're not a top 100 offense especially when you guys have such a good QB like you do.
Brian had 2 weeks to prepare for a terrible NW team and his offense put up 10 points. I would say he's in over his head. Here is what other teams have done against that awful NW team:
Nevada: 20
Bowling Green 7
Duke 41 lol
Wisconsin 33
Penn State 31
Maryland 21
So NW had given up an average of 25.5 points a game and baby Brian could barely muster up 10 whole points. I'm glad you guys hired him lol.
lol, I only saw a tiny bit of the game during commercials of the ISU game, but what I saw was Wadley running into the line and falling down after a yard or two. Talk about overrated.
He definitely lacks vision between the tackles and isn't a powerful running back by any means
I've asked this before, why again do you think that automatically means Iowa and UNI?
I'd prefer beating K-State, Okie State, WV every year more than Iowa.
Because all the Clone fans here said their rival was UNI, and we all know Iowa is a rival for ISU. Just because I’d prefer to beat OSU or Penn St or Michigan every year, but that doesn’t make them Iowa’s rival.
Because OSU, PSU, and Michigan don't consider Iowa a rival. I would say KState, WV, and (hopefully soon) OSU considers ISU a rival. OSU's main rival right now is obviously OU but I think we realistically can be one with improvement.
The whole team is pretty terrible. They peaked early and now are regressing. Nice coaching Kirk.
So what is his record so far against Iowa, UNI, KSU, OSU and WVU?
1-6? Point still stands.
