We kocked up this year, seems like every time expectations are high, the team drops the bottom out. That is the coaching. But I am not willing to run him out of town because we have a shitty performance now and again. Now pro football players, they get no breaks.
This, at the end of the day that is all it is, a fucking game. Would it be nice to win a national title, fuck yes, but if Iowa wins, it doesn't really make my weekend that much sweeter (well maybe a little) but I sure as hell don't let a loss ruin it. I might be pissed for a couple of hours but after that so what, Iowa lost a fucking football game, not the end of the world. I still have my family and a good job to support them so there are a lot more important fucking things out there then winning a football game on 12 different Saturday's.
Iowa football gives me entertainment and that is all it is for 3 hours on a Saturday, plus a good reason to drink heavily, but some of these fucking people let them have Iowa football run their fucking life and that is sad.
You guys obviously don't work with NU, Wisky, Michigan, Illini and Loosier fans within shouting distance of your office. There is a dude 4 doors down from me, maybe I'll snap a pic of his office tonight, with a freaking motion W chair and a Wisconsin helmet on his cabinet and various other Wisconsin crap. The guy is fucking insane, he insists that Wisconsin can beat anyone in the country. I have tried telling him that if Wisky lost to fucking Sparty and needed Lester Erb's stupidity to beat Iowa, they really aren't fucking world beaters, but he is now insistent they could beat anyone. Look, I'm a Big Ten homer, but unless we draw favorable matchups in the Bowls, we're gonna get fucking crushed this year. Wisconsin's defense sucks so fucking bad they gave O'Keefe what should have been 31 points. They would give up 40+ to Auburn or Oregon, easily. They play a pretty similar base 4-3 to Iowa's defense and if they play Boise, I don't see either team stopping the other team and the game would likely come down to Boise fucking beating them on a trick play or some shit which would bring utter shame on the conference.
MSU ain't that good. OSU's good and I think Iowa's good enough to be competitive with damn near any team in the country if we get healthy and have time to prep, but the utter bitchslap the conference is likely to take in January ain't gonna be pretty.
