Oh hey, you are still around. I’m still waiting on that link that says Kirk Ferentz covers up rapes by his players.
I’d be happy with 9 wins this upcoming season unfortunately.
I think he's talking about this, although I believe Kirk did nothing wrong.

Looking down the road Iowa has the talent on campus to “run the table” in 2019. Thanks to the OP for pointing that out!
From a development standpoint, Nebraska was at least 2 years behind Iowa in 2018. That was the difference in the game and it was only a 3 point difference. Ferentz is an OK coach and seems to be one of the genuinely good guys in college football so I really cant say much bad about him, but objectively looking at things you have to see that Nebraska is going to pass Iowa in a very short period of time.
I just look at it this way: on a national level, is it more likely that Nebraska or Iowa becomes the next Alabama? That's a pretty easy question to answer.

Correct. The courts found that he didn’t nothing to cover it up.

I just wanted to make sure Ferentz wasn’t used in the same breathe as Dantonio because some hater doesn’t know the facts.
Of course you will Iowa. You’d be happy with 6 wins or more any season. A championship will not happen for you. Sorry
6? No. 9? Yes. I’m not content with 9 wins last year however. I’m comfortable with where Iowa stands in the grand scheme of college football. My opinion doesn’t matter because Kirk isn’t going anywhere so why fight it with high expectations?
Did you look at the court findings that I posted? You know, when the facts come out? I rest my case.

As I stated before, in an effort to cut off the typical Iowa fan excuses, the victims mom believes KF was involved with trying to convince the girl not to go to the police and I believe the victims mom.
BTW in terms of football, Iowa is to Nebraska what ISU is to Iowa. The numbers support my opinion. Have a great weekend.
I take it you’ll believe the victims parents in Mo Washington’s case over what the actual court finds? Is that what you’re saying?As I stated before, in an effort to cut off the typical Iowa fan excuses, the victims mom believes KF was involved with trying to convince the girl not to go to the police and I believe the victims mom.

Cornicator takes the cake for managing to troll two fanbases simultaneously. Seriously, we've had this debate previously, no? Clearly this is headed for 10+ pages of razor sharp analysis.
This might be a new one. I’ve made the same proclamation on our boards. Kirk is a great developer and has a great eye for talent. But his game day coaching leaves a lot to be desired. Finding game changers at WR has been his biggest downfall IMO. Also, not being 2nd place in the battle for stud RB recruits.
I wonder how many coaches over the years vs Nebraska have won 3 straight games in Memorial Stadium? KF will be looking for 4 straight this year.
And????? Frost was still in year one...still had true freshman QB....still took a staff that’s been in place for years and years now to barely squeak out a last second FG win....was still in IOWA...and it STILL took a last second field goal to beat this 4-8 Husker team full of youth....only a dumby can’t see the issue there...Iowa should have smoked us. Shows how good of a Head Coach Scott Frost really is. EDITED....Actually shows how good Frost and Adrain Martinez is. Martinez absolutely torched Iowa. I can only imagine how year two will go with experienced players on the field...
Lol...this is just me doing what the Iowa fans do on this board (outside SWIowahawks).Taking crap just to talk crap...regardless if it makes sense or if there’s facts proving other wise. But the OP is right...actually dead on. Iowa should have OWNED the West last season. Having that defense and the talent they had on offense...no reason for NW to win and Iowa to lose the games they did...none. Which shows what type of Head Coach Iowa has...worried more about improving his defenses numbers instead of letting his offense go.... And I stand by my prediction...HUSKERS WILL NOT LOSE THIS YEAR AGAINST IOWA...PERIOD!!!

Can confirm.
If some Iowa fan posts the gif of the dancing Husker fan I'm going to kick you square in the nuts.
Bring it...The Husker nation is ready...You’re not going to like the outcome this year... Riley is no longer on the sideline..
NW is the only one I totally blame on the coaches. Fant only played in 13 (I believe snaps) that game. Either Kirk and Brian completely flubbed up or there was some sort of quiet punishment being handed out.
Excuses I know but context matters sometimes and what else do we have to talk about right now? Iowa caught Wisconsin early while they were still rolling. Caught NW later when they started rolling. Caught Penn State at the right time, thumb injury at the wrong time. Purdue is the one game where the defense completely flubbed. Injuries without much depth will do that. Definitely under achieved no matter how you look at it.

coming from Iowa and talking about 1 game as a super bowl, that is funny. Considering Iowa lives for single game.
Ok. I give up. After reading this thread....The Huskers are now officially the most dangerous back to back 4 win team ever in the storied history of College Football.
I started using this angle 1st on the Main Board about 10 years ago. Get your own material Carlos Mencia.
You’re catching on, most hawk fans are slow and dangerous behind the wheel, but you seem to get it.
Nate Stanley isn't that good in my book. Maybe your OC doesn't use him to show his strengths. Out out of all the QBs we face this year, he's down on my list that scare me.
Ha ha Go ahead and take shots at Ferentz and Iowa fans. I am content knowing you finished tied in the win column with Illinois and a game behind Indiana who had a peak 5 win season.
Nate has 48 TDs and 15 int the last two seasons he just needs to be more consistent in crunch time. You probably do feel he isn't that good because vs Nebraska we are usually running the ball at will and don't ask him to do much.
Will do. If you were content, you wouldn't keep responding. You seem to be unsure of yourself and lack confidence.
