I hope Kirk gives them a real coming-to-Jesus talk.
We need to get our asses in gear and lock it down.
"Your shit's weak! Shit's weak!"
I wonder what KF locker rooms are like
I just don’t see him being all hellfire and brimstone…maybe some of the assistants.
We also thought he wouldn't be such a huge dick as he was last week...
so anything is possible. I’d like to see him mix it up and tell them to get. this. done.

O'Keefe and Ferentz are probably huddled in the corner scheming with Stanzi and Vandenberg.
Kaczenski and Parker the Younger are likely significantly more animated, but nothing like Bill Lynch right about now.

Clearly, we can't rely on the passing game and Ricky.
Funny, since we thought that’s how we’d do it.
We need to go back to basics: run, set up the pass, play-action, and run.
Also, the defense can’t keep blowing aardvarks out there. Miracle they only have 6 so far.

Spin moves by the RB
The D behaves as if they’ve never seen them before.
You can probably blame that on the fact that we have two green linebackers playing today.
Even still, if we have it together inside the 10 on offense we’ll be fine.

have to think he’d love to see Indiana knock-off Iowa. He’s certainly announcing like it.
Special teams theory when playing Iowa:
1. Catch ball.
2. Wait for Iowa ST defense to fall over.
3. Run for big yards.

is Chappel just throwin near him or is he being that good with pass coverage? If so thats impressive.
impossible is nothing

Coming into the season,
there was talk about us having the best punter and best dline in the country… They’ve been good thus far, but I can’t help but feel disappointed with both of their performances this season.
I think we're really struggling at linebacker -- and were before the injuries. Angerer and Edds are 10 year NFL players.

The playcalling has been weak.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
The way I'm seeing it
nothing is working…especially in the red zone. The shit storm that was our last 3rd down in the red zone sucked…and can be put on the coaches…but for the most part we’ve just played poorly.
Few, if any of us, are asking for firings.
We’re upset, but not asking for firings. Don’t lump us in with the random fool or two.

No, there isn't.
I’m not seeing any playcalling that would suggest a lot of possessions remaining, and Indy’s doing a great job of shortening this game. There’s a chance that Iowa has no more than three possessions left to score a touchdown.
3 possessions to score 1 TD, that's a ratio not worth freaking out over

Excellent ball movement between the twenties, tipped balls all over the defense that just haven't been gotten to, great running in the first half.
Nobody’s claiming that the game has been good or constructive, but we’re not playing like Minnesota out there. Indiana’s playing like crazy, getting some breaks, and still only has four points on us. If I were in a room with any of you, I’d bet on Iowa to win right now. If you’ve already given up on any chance of our winning, turn off the T.V. and go for a walk or something.

He had room--it was a low, line-drive punt.
He ran way sideways then backwards.

some things I have noticed this season.
Our defense is overrated.
Our offense is pretty fucking awesome.
Our special teams suck ass.
We miss Norm Parker!
Our play calling on offense is a joke at times.
We strugle with pathetic teams like indiana and jnw.
At times, I fucking hate life!!!

Part of it was that
Coker doesn’t seem quite so effective in the redzone as Robinson might have been (less vision, etc). Of course, the fact that Iowa ran continuous dumpoffs to tight ends might have been the reason for the absolute shitshow that was Iowa inside the 20s.
"Yeah, and that’s bullshit, cause Boise plays Kirkwood every other weekend".

I think this could be it.
Maybe more gives to Robinson in the redzone, or even throw it to him, if he was available? Hell, I don’t know.
Coker didn't get many chances in the red zone.
Only one I can specifically remember. I think A-Rob’s absence affected the playcalling more than anything else.
How is that?
Coker played well
"There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy." -Mark Rippetoe
+eleventy billion
I think Coker’s going to be an amazing RB. Some of the ways that he read his blocks and showed patience were absolutely artistic, ESPECIALLY for a freshman. One of the best freshman RB performances I have EVER seen.
I could have something to do with the competition. Other recent Iowa freshmen running back performances:
Jewel Hampton, 2008 vs. Indiana – 22 carries, 114 yards, 3 TD

Zooker playing for OT
Seeing how each team has scored 45, I don’t know about that.
Denard seems to have been pulled, but the announcers have no idea why
It never gets to be easy
But Tate throws an INT
14 seconds to go

Special Teams
Makes me angry in my pants.

There are two ways of interpreting that.
One of them is that you have a sexual special teams fetish.

The defensive coaching staff have got to step it up. How many times on third down did they get a first down because of a receiver running little 3-4-5yd hitch routes? On top of that we almost never blitz and Indiana knew that and was taking advantage of it. The D-Line can’t be expected to make every play and to generate all the sacks. I respect Norm and everyone but teams are really starting to catch on that they can just play dink and dunk and they don’t have to make the big plays.

Meh.
The defense played alright. They didn’t allow a huge amount of yardage. In the first half they tipped so many balls that we really should have came away with more INTs. The second half they looked a little winded but they got the ball back to Iowa when they needed and made just enough plays to win the game. End of story.
pls dont pin this on D...
IU has a Very good QB…3 or 4 receivers leading the conf in yards. the D did great..The offensive had their collective heads up ass…Penaltys…OMG.. the road game and time of game had definite roles in this game

Agreed
I still would like to see more tight coverage against these dink & dunk teams, but overall to allow them 13 points is a good showing.

Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.
So if Michigan ever gets a D as good as their Offense they could be a scary team
aaand boom goes the Q!namite!
