Apparrently, the current batch of sportswriters at the Rag missed the memo that they are suposed to at least try to polish any turds they find wearing Black and Gold:
Sean Keeler:
"Is it me, or is the Iowa football program of present starting to sound a little like the Iowa State football program under Jim Criner?"
Ouch.
Shuck Schoffner:
"...this is a program in a serious tailspin. The Hawkeyes have lost seven straight Big Ten games. They’ve won only three of their last 12 games overall – two wins over Northern Illinois, one over Syracuse."
Ugh.
Randy Peterson a week ago:
"It could be another long season without a homecoming win against the Hoosiers."
What's the deal with the honest reporting? I feel like I'm reading the ISU articles, but the names are all wrong. The are using phrases like "step backwards", "mistake-prone" and "at risk of missing a bowl" in a context that my pedestrian brain can't comprehend.
This will take some time to get used to. Hopefully SUI doesn't start winning games, forcing the press corp to zag back to their usual fawning writing. They would have to file workmen's comp from the whiplash.
