    Matt Campbell postgame quote

    Speaking of Campbell's decisions, we wouldn't be having this convo at all if our coach had addressed the game at hand in his presser, rather than deflecting to fan base criticism. I wonder if the coach that preaches personal responsibility would like to have that one back?

    Matt Campbell postgame quote

    Okay. Forgive my phrasing. I meant that in a short term context, as in it's uncomfortable to be interviewed after one sh** game that comes after an equally crappy one the week prior.

    Matt Campbell postgame quote

    Well, he had just missed two (uncharacteristically, as you say) -- and the last one was off by the broad side of a barn. Moreover, as others have stated a made field goal doesn't win the game anyway. But that's a different point.

    Matt Campbell postgame quote

    Some were critical of Gilbert again KS, IMO most were not. MANY were critical of Campbell's decision not to go for it. If he's such a player's coach, after all, he had to know that Gilbert was rattled that game. Yet he chose to play for a tie, knowing that. Then a week later he's b***hy at the...

    Problems with football team

    This performance approached "wheels come off" level. Worst I've seen in Campbell's time here.

    Bad coaching. Bad playing.

    Should Randy Peterson retire?

    Petersen is wholly irrelevant to how I receive my sporting news. That makes him the Register's problem, not mine.

    On to Kansas Week Thread

    Three-and-outs and interceptions lost us the Baylor game. It's really that simple.

    Jirehl Brock

    Brock was had a strong game overall and will be a great back for us. But goal line fumbles are a big deal. This was true of Hall's last year as well.

    When to expect a depth chart

    Why would you have your elite, all-American edge rusher --a guy that will demand double teams and extra offensive scheming every snap-- play anything other than the position he dominates?

    KD Fund Raising?

    I'd be curious to know if Dan Dresser is paid and what he does for CRTC.

    Hunter Deyo to OL

    Fair enough. Hope I'm wrong. But how many times does one need to see a lineman stand up and lose leverage to know that's where they're at?

    Hunter Deyo to OL

    Oline gonna be an eyeroll again this year. At least coaches not pumping sunshine like last season. I thought their technique looked surprisingly poor in the posted video. Slow feet, high bodies, weak hands, etc. And no #28 to cover it up. I'm more worried than I was prior to seeing the vid.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    It reads to me like a great TE/receiver trying to say something generous but also true about his not ready for prime time starting QB. What do you want him to do, go all "Matt Campbell?"

    How much will you watch CFB and how?

    I guess I'm what you'd call a "social" CFB fan. If I want to watch a game and its not on broadcast tv, I go to a sports bar. Even then, I only do so for ISU games. I'd rather pay for wings and beer at a pub than subscription.

    How many wins in 2022?

    I went with 8. There has not been as much hype from the coaches as last year (when I thought 9-10 wins). Nevertheless, there's been enough of it that I am holding the program to high expectations. Plus, lots of guys on the position awards lists. That has mean something, right?

    What do you miss/appreciate about Iowa?

    You are making a huge--and false--presumption about how "city people" treat each other. You're also assuming that an urban environment only offers disadvantages in relation to the examples you mention. The world I've experienced is sharply different from the picture you paint.
