Iowa

Not sure I give a shit about the eternal 7-5 or 8-4 Kirk Ferentz football team.

They accept complete mediocrity and occasional Top 25 appearances.

We suck. But being Iowa suck is a whole other level of suck and cope.

Dude is in his 25th season as head coach, is 201-122 and has never won an outright B10 Championship and never even finished in the Top 10 of the polls at the end of any season.

There is suck, and then there is accepting 25 years of mediocre results at best and bragging about it suck.

Except that DONU has sucked for 20+ years as well and we live in a delusional world where we still think our beloved team is relevant... makes me sick to my stomach to say that shit...

How bad is Raiola injury

All of those ties can easily be untied. From either side. You're talking about a 3 star, class of 2026 brother who hasn't earned the offer we gave him, a sister who would no doubt not have her job if it weren't for her last name, and an uncle who should have never been hired in the first place, let alone retained.



Yeah, I think the strength of their ties is outweighed by their propensity to move around seeking greener pastures. However, I'm not sure there's a team out there not named Nebraska that would be willing to throw a job for brother, sister and uncle on the pile, just for Dylan's services at this point.
I agree they can easily be untied, I just don't think they will next year.

“Baby Mahomes?”

DR should have stuck with Georgia. Even if he sits the first year. He would have received actual coaching Rhule con not/will not provide. Be in a winning culture and talent around him. He probably would have taken the reigns next year and be very successful. Feel bad for the kid at this point. I honestly think he felt pressure from his family to come to Nebraska. And this could ultimately ruin him if he stays the course. He should leave
I think it would be in everyone’s best interest if he moved on. Nebraska needs to get back to the basics of being a run first team and Dylan needs an elite program to realize his potential.

Well, time to save some energy and get ready for next weeks..

I’m not buying the players and coaches don’t care snide, but I believe we have had a losing culture amount the players which it’s obvious it started with SF..
I will give you the players. I believe they want to win. Just don't know how. Coaches in the other hand. More directed at Rhule. He hired this staff. The wr coach hire was all I needed to see that he isn't serious about winning here. Rhule will get paid very well and move back to the East Coast when his failure is complete.

Glenn Thomas

But he’s the QB coach and if DR is regressing isn’t that on Thomas?
Yes.... that said, HH had some beautiful throws yesterday... His WRs obviously screwed the pooch and didn't help him but no way he throws like that last year without a good coach... I think it's too much for Dylan this year... that's ok, let him take a step back and let's close this thing out

Illinois week notes Micah now #2

You have to keep the money out of the possible firing. The biggest most important "thing" is the fanbase. When you lose the fan base it is a mess.

People act like if they have to payout Rhule that they won't be able to pay other bills. They will be just fine.

The worst thing you can do is wait too long.

Danny Lanning could have been here. Hell Coach Cigs could have been here (But a lot of you sensitive bitches might not have been able to handle him).

You change until you get it right. You don't keep a guy HOPING you got it right.

The run game is a young QBs best friend and some of the times Satterfield’s run design makes no sense. I’m no O line expert but it was obvious that some of the plays asked a guard to do something Superman couldn’t execute.

The refusal to commit to the run game is maddening. Yeah UCLA has a good D line but that same D line is rushing your passer. Run the damned ball more often and you’ll help your QB.
I thought outside of a few calls the actual run plays were fine. Running Lloyd horizontal at the 5 kind of tells me he still doesn't get it. No one is scared of Lloyd at the goal line. They are scared of Lloyd at the 50.

Thought the HH goal line play was good.

Have to run more. Substitute 6 or 8 passes for runs and we likely win that game.

Well, time to save some energy and get ready for next weeks..

Next week or next year. My enthusiasm for this team is long gone. Coaches don't care about the win/loss record. They will get paid very well no matter what. A big percentage of the players don't care. Losing has been there culture. It is what it is at this point. I don't care what happens the rest of the way.

Raiola would look like an All American right now if he had Andy Reid calling plays for him. Satterfield has fed Raiola to the wolves with his scheme and play calling. Now DR has multiple injuries and PTSD.

Rhule must make changes TONIGHT

Truth is Railoa missed a TD on the INT - game went from 14-13 to 20-7 - when he did not see Fidone running free. But, Rhule is the guy who is playing #15 so it falls on him.
And Rhule only holds certain people accountable like the best o lineman. 15 should have been benched numerous times this season for at least a series and Sat needs demoted immediately. I think White is fine except we have too many single digit walk ins playing on D that miss tackles on a regular basis

I am ready for option B at QB

He is just not that good......I'm sorry.but he is not better than HH.
He’s an excellent passer but B1G DCs are taking advantage of his inexperience and Satterfield’s play calling. Hasrberg’s legs would give DC’s something else to worry about. The flip side is that DR made 3 throws for chunk yardage that Haarberg probably can’t execute. Bottom line for me is that Haarberg is healthy and Raiola is not. Raiola looks shell shocked and Haarberg looked confident.
