    Its a thing for long term fans of the Iowa program. The offensive coordinator does things the way KF wants them. He works for KF and does things the way KF wants. They change the literal guy around a few times but the thing is whoever they put in the booth does exactly what KF wants. Back in the days early in the Ferentz years the fans were all convinced that Ken O'Keefe was holding the team back with his conservative approach.

    You mean the guy that hired Greg Davis just wants a figurehead and not any original thoughts or schemes?

    I nbever thought I’d say this but I like Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayliss more than Pat McAfee, and I really hate both of them. McAfee is just a douchebag in a really silly looking muscle shirt that looks like his mother made for him. He’s so fucking annoying.

    We all know why you hate McAfee.

    Yep.  I don't expect it to be like the Missouri game in 2008 after we beat No. 1 OU.  Mizzou was a conference game and they came in ranked at No. 11 v. Texas at No. 1.  That game was one of the loudest home games I've attended.

    But the Longhorns just won their biggest regular season game since 2008 OU or 2005 Ohio State, after not winning much of shit for the last 10 years or so, and with the night atmosphere, I think the crowed will pump up the players.

    Wait, I want to clarify, you're talking about 2008 here?

    Like the NIL in college, people just stopped faking like it didn't exist.

    Gambling, paying players and weed.  We all just stopped pretending everyone wasn't doing it already to varying degrees.  Next up, pegging.

  5. I think you folks saying Milroe sucks don't realize how good our D played.  I thought he was going to suck and he impressed me.  He was the only reason they were even in it, IMO.

    Kind of reminds me of when I saw the 2005 Ohio State linebackers and predicted VY would run for 200 (for those that don't remember them, let's just say catfid could tell them apart).  They balled that night and we had to earn it.

    Apart from the realignment uncertainty, I am enjoying the parity that comes with the portal and NIL. It gives schools like Colorado or an TCU a shot in the arm of adrenaline so to speak. If you’re good enough coach you can cobble together a Frankenstein-like team and make it to the CFP. If you’re a team like Bama or Georgia swimming in five stars you now have to accept that the viselike grip they have had on college football is no longer the case. Saban knows it. He has known it for a while and he saw that parity on the field last night. On a personal note a shout out and many thanks to @immamac @SquishMitten @RGBIII @Sydney Cartoon @Wulaw Horn and last but not least @closetojumping without you guys (if I am forgetting someone my apologies and thanks to all involved) for drastically helping to improve our roster and our street credentials with recruits. This doesn’t happen without y’all’s help. We are headed in the right direction. Not for a long time have I looked at our roster and thought, “shit we can beat any team we face.” The rest is up to the boys, coaches and Sark but we don’t get that W without the support of y’all and everyone who donates and puts their money and sweat equity where their burnt orange bleeding heart is. Thanks! 

    Not sure if intentional or a freudian slip, but Sydney Cartoon made me laugh.

    That is a lucid, well thought-out, intelligent objection.

    Overruled.

    Bill O’Brien coached the 2022 offense to 41 points a game. 4th in the nation. BOB is one of the worst OC’s out there. Sometimes talent covers up bad coaching.

    Sark can coordinate an offense. And some of his offenses are beautiful to watch. Some are not. It remains to be seen what he can do without elite talent. We saw our offense sputter after other teams adjusted. Sometimes it looked like we ran out plays.

    He got run out of Atlanta. I’m hoping he works out, but he’s been underwhelming so far.

    I actually think the best thing I'm seeing of sober sark is the lack of ego. Most coaches are so full of themselves they lack the ability to self evaluate and admit they made a mistake.  This leads to guys rubbing everyone the wrong way, keeping ineffective offensive coordinators, or passing against Baylor when Ricky is averaging 10 yards a carry.

    I've never done AA, but due to family I'm pretty familiar with the whole concept, and brutal self honesty and tearing down the ego are big things.  Sark seems to be willing to admit a problem and take steps to fix it 

    Or this whole psychoanalysis is just bullshit.  I'm high as hell so what do I know? (Yes- I realize the irony)

    I picture the shy nerdy computer expert from the Oceans series when I hear him talk.

    And it's that scene where he's explaining the basic rules of blackjack to Clooney and Pitt as they look at each other incredulously.

    It appears that I am not the only one that likes Iowa. 

    Vegas and Nebraska are always weird. I think they had a total in Frost's first or second season at like 9, which I bet under when visiting that summer, and got paid half a year later. I think Nebraska is still somewhat more heavily bet as a national interest team due to history than many other programs. 

    My problem with the OU total is that their schedule is laughable. They basically can go 10-2 while not beating anyone of merit. Now, I think Venables is a classic idiot and their depth is iffy all over the roster, but even an imbecile should go 9-3 or better with that schedule.

    What do you like about Iowa other than Greg Davis is not calling plays?  My son's matriculating there next week and I guess I need to start following so we can discuss during the season.  Is this thread not the "hey ctj give me a scouting report" one?
