We were only pointing out the inaccuracy of your "huge mess" characterization. And that point stands on its own, independent of who should be OC.

Brian didn't leave a huge mess for Tim Lester to fix?

You have to be trolling; no one can be this stupid. Or maybe you are that fooking stupid.

The huge mess included:
* Deacon Hill as our starting QB
* The QB room needing to be completely overhauled
* No legit WR willing to consider coming to Iowa

The reason Iowa's offense was broken was because the o-line was broken. And AGAIN, KF told us before TL was even hired, that the offense would take a jump in '24 because the o-line would be in a good place.

Do those words not mean anything to you? Straight from the source. One couldn't find any words more relevant to this discussion.

Clearly, Cade was always going to start for TL once healthy.

And the WR recruiting narrative is laughable. People are still trying to cite it, while at the same time telling us how good the WR room is. 🤣

And weren't RVZ, Howard, Parker, and Buie all recruited by BF?

And receiver has never been much of a part of what has made Iowa successful for 26+ years. I feel sorry for you that you even mentioned receiver

Yet another thread derailed. Our GOAT is so good that he can literally bump dead threads to the top and revive them with nothing but his rage bait. This is truly a master at work.

Let me help you present more accurately.

The bumps have been for the purpose of exposing 2D in his lie.

As for Fran, he chose to respond to something I'd posted 5 days earlier. Of course what he's posting is garbage, and has needed set straight. But no rage baiting there either.

Again, feel free to present contention with anything I ever have to say.

I know you previously told me you choose not to do that. And that's fine. But then, you don't get to keep inferring I'm a troll either

I am bored so here goes.
Why was the O line broken in 2023? Jones was in his 2nd year at the position. Colby, Stephens, and Dunker were all highly-regarded recruits in their third year in the program. The O line getting better coincided with an OC who knew how to use motion and scheme to make defenses cover more of the field.
Yes, your hero Biff recruited those WRs. Are you flexing over that? RVZ is the ONLY one of those who has contributed. How many of them would see the field for any other P4 team?

Cade was irreparably broken when he came here and your hero cheated to get him.

Think better

I've explained it all before EXTENSIVELY.

And I'm pretty sure you've read quite a bit of it.

It all still stands, and more and more of it has gotten confirmed over the years through player/staff interviews. So you're making yourself look even more silly, at this point.

Not to mention, citing stuff that has already been countered, in this very thread.

Not gonna have the time for you today, my man

No, TL didn't mention going more vertical than horizontal. He agreed with that characterization, which was presented to him in a question.

No, the explosive plays work BECAUSE of the run game
Tim told us that very thing when we met with him during the recruiting visit. He strongly believes that a strong running game makes the whole offense go. If he has his way, Iowa would have two 1000 yard rushers that free up the QB to terrorize a defensive backfield.

Well folks, I know a lot of you are going to see a wordy post from me and not even want to read it.

But out of concern for a fellow poster, hang in there with me for a bit on this one.

I think it might be time to get serious about 2D. He hasn't posted on here for a while. So it might be a thought to go a little easier on him, if he returns.

Here's what we know:

- 2D has not posted on here since creating the "magical Kinnick" thread at 2:31am on 7-4.

-He ended his OP by saying, "and as always, go Hawks!"

-Yes, as always. Just like 2Deceptive had finished a previous post, at 1:48 that morning with, "go Hawks!" Just like he finished his 1:43am post with, "go Hawks!" And just like...wait...2D ends with "go Hawks", in no other easily found or remembered post from him ever.

-But what can be easily found, is a post from me at 1:38 that morning, in which I ended with, "go Hawks!" 🤔 (Post 82 in this thread).

-Add in the fact that the nature of that post (82) was 2D having been placed on ignore by Flick, for comments he made about me, and it's quite reasonable to assume 2D was mocking me in the three posts he ended with, "go Hawks!"

-Except the only problem is, 2Dishonest has been claiming for months to have me custom code deleted from his screen.

How can he mock my usage of, "go Hawks", when he supposedly has me deleted from his screen?

Are we starting to understand why we haven't heard from 2Dug-in-a-hole (an avid poster) in almost 7 days?

A part of me truly does feel sorry him. 2Decipherable had been exposing his lie for months, to those that have paid attention. I kept warning him that at some point, he was going to make it too obvious to others besides myself.

Seems 2D has realized that has happened. A brief, valiant effort to cover up his "go Hawks" mockings at 1:43 and 1:48am, was made in the patriotic (go Hawks) "magical Kinnick" thread 2Deliberate created at 2:31am.

Basically, sometime around 2am, 2Dumb realizes he's blown his own cover. So naturally, at 2:31, 2Deceptive creates the ultimate Hawkeye feel-good (and patriotic) thread, in which he, "guesses to feel sentimental", and is able to finish the post with a good 'Ole, "and as always, go Hawks!"

And now, no one's heard from 2D since.

Trust me, there is extensive further reasoning to suggest that 2D has been running a lie. Including twice having been caught claiming to have had me placed on ignore, commenting about me/responding to my posts through 3rd party posters, continuing to post about me and showing up in threads to defend himself against words of mine he supposedly couldn't see.

But I'm not trying to burry 2D. He's made a mistake. For some reason, I feel more willing to forgive a mistake here, than forgive the jackasses that have wrongfully bestowed negativity upon the Hawks.

I'd posted a couple.months ago, once I realized confidently enough that 2Dishonest was at play, that I was going to lay off him for a while (and did), as I felt bad for him then.

So, let's strike a truce, 2Diplomatic. Admit your lie, and I will no longer seek confrontation with you, which is something I have, in fact done.

I might have a comment flow organically here and there. But I won't seek you out.

But you'll hear from me if you pull that mischaracterization crap, capeche?

Otherwise, carry on with what can be a positive Hawkeye energy from you

No doubt. Outside of TL being such a breath of fresh air, the Lutmer comment, the Jay Higgins story, and Gronowski playbook story were all really insightful and fun.

Best 90 mins this year for my podcast listening.

I also liked the recruiting story with Matt in GB and how everything for our QB’s is footwork and timing, and that 24 of 32 team in the NFl are running this O.

I quickly realized I know exactly Jack Shiite about how a O coordinator at this level goes about his job.

Spot on. I really like that TL makes it seem dead simple and insanely complex at the same time. Guarantee he is a fantastic coach based on how he communicates.

he's got a great personality for sure but a lot of OCs can talk a great talk...TL fortunately has largely lived up to the metrics he said he wanted to hit each of the last couple seasons. insane as it sounds i'm expecting a top offense this year in the same league as a osu or oregon

Nobody has any thoughts on 2D?

It's probably only the craziest thing that's happened on this board since the porn spamming about 15 years ago

Well, our resident liar has returned.

Over in the "magical Kinnick" thread, running cover-up.

Literally, giving reasons for his board absence, and reasoning for his thread creation (which we know has been exposed in this thread). Both unsolicited. 🤣

In case anyone cares, 2D IS CONTINUING TO LIE TO US ALL.

SMH.

Go Hawks!

I agree with most of that but KF is never going to embrace the concept of outscoring his opponent
Which is one reason why he's not the great coach he could have been. He saw some terrific offenses under Hayden Fry--as well as great defenses--and he apparently decided he wanted no part of scoring a bunch of points. A psychologist would have an interesting task in trying to find out why.

I've read enough of your political crap, ignore!
When did decency and fairness and justice become "political," you freakin' moron. When innocent people, two more in the last week, are being gunned down by a ruthless band of masked, anonymous ICE thugs, maybe you and your kind should have the guts to stand up and actually defend democracy and denounce this MAGA dictatorship and its doddering, 80-year-old traitor, felon, sex offender, racist egomaniac. Release the files! Stop the illegal war that has killed hundreds of innocent Iranian children and many US service members! And stop murdering people on US streets!

Ignore all you want. It doesn't change the fact that the US is, as the US dictator has said of other places populated by nonwhites, "a shitthole country."

Nice try, Mary Ferentz. All you MAGA's are the same, obviously--ignorant of reality and unwilling to recognize facts or accept accountability. It's sad. It really is.

Have no idea what a MAGA is.

What fact is supposed to be recognized? A hall of fame career?

Not sure what you're even talking about
