Kirk probably hating all this attention?

[Kirk is God]

Deep down I don’t think Kirk is liking all the attention his team is getting this week. Probably doesn’t like gameday being in Iowa city. This is why I love him. Fly under the radar type guy is my guy.

Oh you bet. He would like to be the underdog in every game I think. The team plays with a chip on their shoulders anyway because most are not highly rated and recruited.

I hope KF gives the players the room to try to make a big play, to take a chance and not be robots.

Id say just play the game you always do because that’s when they’re the most successful. Stupid gameday being there annoys me too. Wish it wasn’t

You like him because you have projected your feelings onto him?

This. He seemed to enjoy the time. Even after all these years you get him in an interview and hear a few pearl you never knew before.

What? Is Kirk is God, Ty on the set?

Massive media focus on IC today and tomorrow, that's a good thing for recruiting, he seems to be enjoying it and well he should, he and team have earned it. They will be all biz come 2:30 tomorrow!

I love that the Hawkeyes are getting attention. Teams that win get attention.

They are 14 point dogs tomorrow. They are the massive underdog and he is playing into it with the team but can be an ambassador for the program outside the walls of the football building. This attention in the time of the CFP is massive and might help push them over the line if they are on the bubble to get in as wild card team with a 29 year coach at the helm.

Great point. Attention not too bad I suppose if we can pick up some bigger recruits.

Kirk even used a cuss word so I think he's cool with the attention.

Iowa is going up against one of the highest paid rosters with potential first rounders scattered about. They are going to have to get uncomfortable and take some chances. Are you forgetting their record against ranked opponents for the last few seasons?

I don't think KF is losing sleep. But if he's bothered, he should have known by now he shouldn't try to win high profile B10 football games.

You mean the 4-5 record in the last 10 years against top 10 teams coming to Kinnick? With 7 of the 9 games being ranked 20 or less and/or 14 pt dogs?

Yep! Kirk knows what to do

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I don't think Kirk has any issues with the hoopla. He understands that the attention helps on the recruiting trail.

He also enjoys some of it, as im "hey this is fun BSing with Pat McAfee, I'm going to cuss too".

But he also doesn't LIVE for that TV attention, like some coaches
(**"Cough**. PJ Fleck *** cough***)

Laser focused Saturday

 

[WigPen]

We are still the underdog in this game, by a wide margin. I think this spotlight is just putting more pressure on the Buckeyes to perform up to expectations. Hope they choke.

Go Hawks!
