I would say that Iowa fans are more scared about the feds busting in their trailers to catch them cooking meth
Not a fail at all.I would say that Iowa fans are more scared about the feds busting in their trailers to catch them cooking meth
I'm on my phone so if someone could post the "you are an idiot" video for me I'd appreciate it.Not a fail at all. One of the only farming couples I know well are from Buchanan County. They're both ISU grads with advanced degrees. Not sure if the following are related to each other, but they joke about all the vehicles (most of their neighbors) around their area flying Hawkeye flags on a fb gameday (none attend Iowa), and the staggering number of meth busts around rural Buchanan county over the years. A coincidence? You make the callI would say that Iowa fans are more scared about the feds busting in their trailers to catch them cooking meth
CF, I am disappoint.Not a fail at all.

I see what you did there and applaud it. Anyway -Positive in-Rhoads have been made for ISU on in-state recruiting, though, & hopefully for us this continues.
In my sole opinion, I believe that competition brings improvement. For Iowa and ISU to be competitive with each other every year would be the best for both as it creates a bar that is continuously trying to be met and raised. It might mean missing out on some kids here and there for each program that the other one gets but overall I see far more positives for each program than I do for having one "dominant" in state program.OK - so Hawk fans are not in a fetal position in the corner of a room sucking their thumb over the rising Cyclones juggernaut. We agree.
However my friends who are Hawk fans are very 'concerned' & 'worried' with the Iowa football program in general. Happens when talent level falls & several changes occur within the coaching staff. The No.1 issue is the lack of big-playmakers on O. Iowa appears not to have any.
Coinciding with this general downward trend is the upward trend of Cyclone football. The timing could not be worse. True, there is no reason the programs cannot coexist with both being at successful levels. But in a State such as ours, it is more difficult & the program with the advantage has an edge. Jamba & those like him will chastise me (well, that is a certainty because my last 2 posts give props to Iowa), but you can thank Hayden Fry for Iowa having this edge, then Ferentz for reestablishing the program & continuing it.

What a great post.....that's all you got? FAIL

Here's the thing though....the young talent Iowa has on this squad is better than it has ever been. The "talent level fall" is because of the '08 and '09 recruiting classes, which make up this year's senior and junior classes. The future looks brighter than it ever has been, and Iowa will continue to attract top-notch talent as long as they keep sending kids to the NFL at an elite rate. The Cyclone fans who believe Iowa is on a "downward" trend or spiral will be disappointed in two years when they realize Iowa is on the verge of another multi-year, double digit win "binge." If the recent recruiting continues its upward climb, I'm afraid for you Cyclone fans there won't be another "purge" period to look forward to.
I got under your skin and got a response from you, so actually I win

Technically it wouldn't be hard to find a ton of any fans in any county, figure an average weight of 200lbs, 10 fans and you're there. If we're only talking about ones that are driving probably just one if we're including vehicle weight, which obviously we would.Can you prove to me that buchanan county doesn't have a ton of iowa fans driving around, or several meth labs?
Sorry if this is an afront to your extended family.

If you don't understand Iowa produces NFL talent at an elite rate you haven't been paying attention to college football. In the last ten years, Iowa has sent more players to the NFL than Alabama and countless other "name brand" schools, with 42 NFL draftees. They have had 16 players drafted in the past 3 years and will likely have 5 or 6 more drafted this year. This will also be the third straight year Iowa will have a prospect taken in the first round.
So is it poor coaching that makes Iowa under perform on the field compared to these lesser schools like Alabama?
I think most Iowa fans would readily admit the game-day coaching has not quite been up to snuff. Game management has never been a specialty of Kurt's, and I doubt it ever will. Sunday-Friday he is as good as it gets, but on Saturdays, he's just kind of meh. I think his ultra-conservative scheme has more to do with it than anything, really. Iowa's winning percentage against ranked teams over the last decade or so is tops in the Big Ten (At least top 3), but they lose more to below .500 teams than any other middle/top echelon team. Again, this can likely be attributed to letting inferior teams hang around because after Iowa goes up by ten they typically take the air out of the ball. Hopefully Davis can help change a little of that.
