The unfinished business hashtag is pretty gay. I'm just glad he didn't put that in some dumbass letter.

I finally realized the real reason why Allen Lazard decided to come back to ISU next year. He had unfinished business...

couldn't find his glasses

fwiw peace

Can Kirk Ferentz win #3 or even join Evy ...

Iowa Football ...

Evy and the youth and success of the 1950s ...

Evy, the AD, and the chaos and turmoil of the 1960s.

19 years of darkness ...

3 coaches that found happiness in Happy Valley and were a part in the on the field decline of Joe Pa and Penn State ..

6 to 4 in 2004, with Drew Tate, as QB. Iowa beats Ohio State 33-6 (do I have right score).

The State of Iowa Football ...

Let's remain positive, with the potential for upward success. It wasn't going to continue with former Texas OC Greg Davis.

He was far more successful north of the Mason-Dixon line than Gene Chizik, but he wasn't the right fit for Iowa nor the Big Ten. He clearly enjoyed teaching and his relationship with C.J. Beathard was positive.

Iowa isn't competitive against Penn State. It wouldn't matter, if it was Ken O'Keefe or Greg Davis. O'Keefe couldn't get it done vs. OSU and Davis did bring something to the series vs. Urban Meyer, but neither could jump over the hurdle.

Recruiting is part of it. Iowa had some good parts in the final run of Hayden Fry, but lacked at OC and in the trenches ultimately.

Kirk Ferentz is entering an important window in Year 19. Iowa can't afford a Year 20 like Fry or like Ferentz in 2012.

However, the next two years are going to be interesting and important.

It starts with the final parts for the Class of 2017 and the new coaching staff, new and old, that Kirk Ferentz will assemble.

I do believe Iowa will have a window to beat Wisconsin or another I am a giant douche West foe for a 2nd division title.

The 2015 team went 12-0, but it wasn't close to being the most talented Iowa team, but it was up there with 2002 with output in the win column.

The back to back wins over ISU was special. Getting Michigan and Nebrantska (first in 35 years) was too!

Kirk Ferentz, except for the 1990 and 1991 high marks, has been a part of the 1981 to 2016 successes. He has been a part of some lows, as well, but he has left the program far more memorable, than not.

It took Dr. Tom Osborne a long time to reach the highest marks. The 2015 season at Iowa came a minute away from a CFP birth.

Wow, Year 2 of the CFP was almost a huge quest for a rural, fly over state.

I for one am happy with 2017 and the hope of this program. It may crash and burn, but there is some life in Iowa.

Thank goodness Iowa Hayden Fry didn't retire, after the 1995 season and his monumental Sun Bowl win.

#Until

Hey guys, I had to come out of hiding to point out how bad of a joke this is and the fact he got 19 likes for it. You guys are a bunch of white trash dorks. Glad to be back.

OK, I'll let you guys get back to your #unfinishedbusiness
We are trying to feel what it is like to be a Cyclone fan where your entire roughly 120 year history is unfinished business.

Iowa State is still seeking that elusive first 9 win regular season.

Good luck! I bet in another 120 years or so they might reach that lofty goal.

It's really not that bad. Your coaches, players and fans are very much like the majority of America. I know you like to think otherwise.

Who knew that his jersey number would turn out to be an unattainable regular season win goal?

Should we have held a press conference to announce a potential mid round pick was returning or is his own twitter account ok?

For starters, you could've found a pic in which he wasn't walking out of Historic Kinnick Stadium with a W.

I wanted to be supportive and give a pic that wasn't a win against Kansas.

I really couldn't care less. I'll meet you guys in the most popular thread on Hawkeye Lounge, the one talking about the Iowa State Cyclones.

I agree with this. It's those fucking dork fans of yours that are the outliers.

If Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz becomes offensive coordinator does his short hand become BFBF (for Butt Fuckin' Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz)?

So you have to be a Hawkeye All-Access subscriber on hawkeyesports.com to watch Ferentz' press conference? I seem to remember people last year bitching about that and then they made it available to everyone.

That defense could be pretty salty again.
