Pollard pointing out the obvious
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
How many first round draft picks did Iowa have this year? How many in the top 3 rounds? And what was their record last year playing 10 of their games against unranked opponents?
Ferentz continues to underwhelm with the talent he has. That's his mantra -- not changing his offense/defense to match the skills on the team. That's not the sign of a good coach.
If that's all that Hawk fans care about, then congrats.
Campbell obviously has treated it as just another game. He definitely wants to win it, you want to win every game, but he hasn't treated it nearly as importantly as Rhoads did, that's for sure.
I tend to think you give a football coach a pass on the first 3 or 4 years at a new school, unless you are a blue blood program. Campbell is 0-3 vs Iowa, making this game at home this year important. Not the most important game on the schedule but he needs to go on a run vs Iowa.
KF started out 0-4 vs ISU, and his win total the first three season was 1-10. 3-9, and then 7-5. before he hit three straight years with 10 wins or more. At this exact point in his career as Campbell he had 11 wins, and most Iowa fans were ******** that they should have hired Bob Stoops, I do not hear ONE ISU fan complaining about the hiring of Coach Campbell.

I want the Iowa game this year to make up for blowing the 2017 game at the Jack.
Would you trade the National Coach of the Year for a guy who can't even compete for top two in his own conference? I wouldn't
Yeah that's not a good look. Probably the same breed of hawk turds that wear ANF then call ISU, "Moo U".
We're truly not going to be the bear until we beat them numerous times in a row in football. Thats just how the perception is. We'd be saying the same thing if they've beat us that many time in a row.
Let's start with this year. The Iowa game is bigger to mainstream fans than most bowl games. Need to win it.
I don't know, ISU won 7/10 from 98-2007 and Iowa was still the better program pretty clearly, so I don't think a few years of one rivalry game should be the barometer. Considering the results of the last two seasons and the rivalry game results make claiming ISU as the "bear" is a little outlandish, but as mentioned earlier, Pollard sees the long-run, and all of the macro trends in terms of alumni, student body, in-state fan support growth, and the POTENTIAL of ISUs football program under Campbell look like it is possible.
Pre-Pollard and Geoffrey ISU had some absolute incompetence at the AD position and ACTIVE torpedoing of athletics in the President's office. Meanwhile Iowa has enjoyed decades of having unprecedented stability and incredible support in their football program. The fact that we can look to the next five years and even have some sort of argument that ISU is in a better position is absolutely incredible.
