Bighuskerfan.com was a pretty solid little board that descended really quickly into negativity. I’m surprised it’s even still up and running.

Curiosity got the best of me and I did google Anthony Panico. Stumbled across this old article largely about Tom Lemming and early 00’s recruiting services that’s actually pretty interesting. Santino and how he got to Neb is one of the central parts of the article. https://chicagoreader.com/news-politics/the-swami-on-the-sidelines/

It’ll be interesting to see how long Kirk hangs on. With the B1G expansion and equitable B1G scheduling, those routine 9-3/8-4/7-5 seasons will assuredly be more and more difficult to come by. It wouldn’t shock me if he hangs it up soon. It also wouldn’t shock me if he makes the Iowa Athletic Department pry the job from his cold, dead hands. My gut says he and Brian aren’t going anywhere. Iowa having to settle a $4m lawsuit out of court on his behalf, with Kirk coming out seemingly unscathed is quite an accomplishment. If he can navigate that without an issue, keeping around his son will be a layup. You also have to imagine the nepotism can go only go on for so long until it creates some dissension within the ranks. I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t already. Parker and Woods both work their tails off for their respective units, and yet they’re being held back because of Baby Huey. Parker is 60 so he probably rides it out at Iowa. But if I’m a 45 year old Woods, and someone like Michigan St calls… I’m answering.

It was definitely a cheap shot and worthy of a flag, but c’mon. There’s far worse in game hits. If CU wants to talk about players trying to intentionally hurt their opponent, I’m sure Adrian Martinez would like a word.

Iowa was up 24-6 against Utah St with 7 min left when they pulled Cade McNamara. I’m confident there are several RBs on the roster that could have filled in during garbage time. A 25 point swing in 6 minutes? C’mon.

Thanks for finding that. I understand anything can happen at any time with football, but man this it is wildly frustrating. Given that Rahmir was already injured at this point in the game, is it asking too much for the coaches to have a little wherewithal to pull some starters with the game in hand?

I also remember seeing that and thinking “Great, he’s hurt now. Why was he even in, this game is over.”

Gabe’s injury happened on that last meaningless drive didn’t it?

Can’t forget Fart Morgan!

Case in point. There were plenty of very fair criticisms and questions about the Rhule hire and his subsequent staff hires that were met with this exact kind of histrionic response.

No kidding. There was plenty of slobbering over Rhule these last 9 months.

Same stuff new smock. Absolutely nothing was materially different than Frost. Rhule is a snake oil salesman. Trev got duped.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Yikes. He’s cooked.

Following up that one 9 win season by fielding the most lifeless Neb team since the moon landing probably has something to do with it too. It’s almost like context matters and one 9 win season doesn’t outweigh the death spiral he put this program in.

Right. When life starts to return to normal, folks will spend more and put less towards savings. This isn’t the elaborate “gotcha” that it’s being made out to be.

Good points. Context matters. When a pandemic interrupts normal spending habits, the folks with the means to do so are of course going to put it towards savings. Prior to the Covid spike saving trends appear very stagnated. The giant spike in 2020 wasn’t the result of some illustrious Trump policy. It was because there weren’t any T Swift concerts or Amalfi coast trips to go on.

My heart wanted to vote 6. I think 6 wins are there (and have been there for years.) But my head says 2 wins. I’m just not convinced this staff or roster can get us to a bowl this year.

- NY was for his actions prior to his presidency. - Georgia and J6 were for his actions as a sitting President. - Documents was for his actions after his term as President ended. Before, during and after. No one forced him to do these things. They are all of his own making and all could have been avoided with even a modicum of critical thought. You either see him for what he is and vote accordingly. Or you continue to mental gymnastic your way to thinking that the most obvious con man to ever live is somehow fit for office.

Betts… anyone hearing rumblings?

Whew. Settling a $4 million discrimination lawsuit out of court and a gambling scandal all within 6 months! Is this the Iowa Way, Kirk?
