Next season will be a Hayden Fry style beatdown of ISU. It will be glorious.
Is that even possible anymore with Kirk in charge? Looking back over the series history there's been 3 HF style beatdowns of ISU in 27 years, the last one in 2016. If KF gets up by 14 or more he goes into turtle mode hoping to preserve the W. Unless there's a bunch of pick 6s I don't see it happening, no matter how down ISU is.

I knew a good number of “forever Clowns” would bail, but this is even worse than I thought.

Maybe some will change their mind once they realize how much they’ll miss the great water & chubby co-eds? 😂 🤡
We try to be respectful and not use the term chubby Co Eds , Grok told Me when I was curious how not to offend to use the term Wildebeests , I was a little confused thinking Fatties or Goulash Goblins would be the recommendation but Grok is usually pretty good at steering a Guy in the right direction

Bingo. "Could be", yes. But...well, we all know the rest. KFz's game plan has always been "keep it close". Unfortunately that cuts both ways.
The other 3 trophy games KF kept it close by a score of 118- 19.....clearly he stuck to his "game plan".

Speaking of chubby coeds...the old joke about why ISU WBB always had good attendance numbers was because Hilton was the only place guys at ISU could go to see females <200 lbs.
Now with Crooks...that no longer applies.

The Clone football forum is in meltdown mode, currently.

Nearly 20 guys already portaling out and likely another 8-10 still to go.

It is glorious, I cannot wait to see where the Class that just signed ends up after Players get out of their LOIs , It is a reminder what the advantage is for Iowa going forward if a current Coach on Staff takes over like Lester or Wallace to avoid the Armageddon that is called Ames at the present

Looks like Santa is emptying his sack before he gets to Ames. Lost their best remaining recruit in Bandauer too. They’re banking on Roger’s bringing his WAZZU recruits who collectively didn’t hold another single P4 offer.

Season one is going to be vital for them. If Rogers can’t get to at least 6-6 they’re going to be in real trouble going forward.

They should have taken the bowl bid might be their last one for awhile.

It’s funny that our resident clowns are nowhere to be found now. There’s just no way to spin this going forward. It’s a blazing hot glorious dumpster fire. I’m happy for them. I really hope they enjoyed the last few years.

They would have had 18 returning starters last year. Looking like they will have very few if any now. Burkle, Brahmer and Bacon the latest to leave 😂 Bacon was a walk-on from Lake Mills, IA and even he’s bailing. Not a good look for Rogers losing a guy like that.

Gotta give the clown deserters credit- they write nice Dear John letters.
