Iowa Hawkeyes, a Season Sacrificed

What in the world has happened to the Iowa Hawkeyes? This was a season that was supposed to be a near repeat of their perfect season from last year; instead this has been an utter disaster for the team on the whole. In the category of nothing seeming to go right, the team has had one failure after another. Many on the team and in the stands feel that the head coach needs of being replaced

When people begin the process of pointing fingers, there will be a lot of these people that will be quick to call for Nick Ferent’s head on a platter, while this would be the acceptable form of punishment for many coaches, Ferentz has earned a little forgiveness based on the fact that he can not get his team to follow his guidance.

But all the news is not all bad, this will give the person in your life a wonderful excuse to run out and stock up on gear for the Iowa Hawkeyes. There are a number of different types of online stores that offer the perfect gift for the person in your life. There is never been a better time to give the gift of Iowa Hawkeye to that special fan.

There are several options that a person will want to give some serious consideration about when it comes to getting a gift for that special person that they will cherish for many years to come. There is no better way to get a person past the depression that they may be suffering from than with a gift that screams Hawkeye pride.

Getting back to the failures that seem to be haunting the team, there is a lot of players as a well as fans that are saying that the area that is causing so much concern, is that of the quarterback situation. There is not a solid player in that position that is able to be the type of leader that the team on the whole needs to have and allow them the opportunity to see any type of victory.

This misstep allowed the other teams to take advantage of the offense that seemed to be missing on a few cylinders, then add in the fact that the defense forgot to show up and this led to teams either beating Iowa, or coming within a hair of beating them and handing them yet another loss. This is all the bad news of the matter; the good news is that of the fact that the team did increase their winning percentage from the previous season. This bit of good news is one thing positive to take into the off season.

Despite what fans may think, this is not the end, this is merely the beginning of the rebuilding effort that will take place over the next season, there will be glory in the State of Iowa once again, as the team will win and take home yet another National Championship. So for all the depressed fans, I offer this bit of encouragement, there is always next year and things can’t get a whole lot worse for the team.
