There's always the option to just stop watching.
Best post of the day. After 8 years you would think most fans would get this.
Oh how quickly some of you forget. This was less than a year ago.
“I don’t know exactly what is going on. I thought there were good play calls, it was more of a lack of execution and why that happened. I don’t know.”
-Matt Campbell
"Hope is not a strategy" Greg Olson doing commentary at the end of the Bears/Packers game right now. Yep.
Still not as bad as the time CMC said the Cy-Hawk game wasn't much of a rivalry. That was after the game we lost where KF finally could say he had a winning record against Iowa State after 18 years of trying.
Campbell has never taken this game seriously.
Agree, but he missed a big control of operations of his football team. How can he be Mr attention to detail and winning in the margins, when he failed to tell his team that betting on football is wrong. Where's the accountability in that? These were starters at skilled positions, whom he should be paying the most attention to. Campbell has no credibility after that.
The way a lot of you are acting on here, you would think we just lost to Drake and went 0-12 with a team full of all American seniors. Holy **** people. It was game two. TWO. Against a top 5 defense nationally. We made some mistakes that a young team makes, and Iowa capitalized on it.
They say true colors come out in times of adversity and good lord, some of your true colors are really ugly. I hope you all keep this same energy after wins.

Someone comes in every year and talks to the football team about gambling and how it’s illegal. They knew what they were doing was wrong and illegal. If you expect Campbell to be monitoring what everyone is doing on their phones every minute of every day, you’re an idiot.
Shame on anyone who doesn’t shout about our win against Ohio (assuming it even happens — who knows) from the rooftops, after taking a shotgun to both our feet in the Iowa game. For. Shame.
Texas is the only team on our schedule who I’d be worried about and even then, we get them at home in November. We’re still finding our identity on offense and who our playmakers are. The only skill player returning from last years offense who saw PT is Noel.
I think we’ll see Sama become the starting RB at some point this year, Higgins be the stud we’ve all heard about, and Brahmer will end the year as our top TE.
Gambling is rampant. Putting that on CMC is ridiculous. Should he be accountable if they also get speeding tickets or don’t pay their bills?
This isn't difficult. Can't spend years bragging about building a culture and then get a total pass when some of your best players have so little respect for that culture that they put their own careers and the team's success in jeopardy.
Players bet against their own team - does that not give you pause on this supposedly great culture?
Let me know when the NCAA makes players ineligible for half their seasons or ends their careers for unpaid bills or speeding tickets.
The team that just beat ISU lost players too.
If you think that illegally beating on NCAA games is limited to ISU and Iowa student athletes, you’re delusional.
He’s their coach, he’s not their babysitter. Young adults make stupid decisions all the time. Life is full of hard lessons. Some are more costly than others. Would you blame your boss if you got caught cheating on your taxes?
You're flailing. This is just a blather of stuff that's already been hashed over and has nothing to do with this argument.
I don't care about Iowa. I don't care about other programs and who does or doesn't gamble. My taxes and my boss have nothing to do with one another. Gambling and football eligibility do. I can only react to what has happened to players in the program I care about.
I'm not even arguing that Campbell should face meaningful consequences for the gambling thing. Just that we can't claim we have this great culture when players so openly defy it.
After they play 8 straight games in the state of Texas. TX was the better team last year too, and we should’ve won that game in Austin
Indeed. Sleep on it and try again tomorrow, perhaps with a comparison that's actually relevant this time.
