I again agree. But none of the posts had any constructive or relevant info. All of them were just (no direct quotes) “defense is terrible” “We suck at x” “we suck at y”. I even looked into his previous posts prior to the game and couldn’t find anything positive. My question wasn’t specifically about his game related posts. In my limited research he never once posted anything remotely positive
Great pressure by the D line when it counted....
Balllllllll - game! Superb stop, there!
We win and IU is going to lose. How sweet it is!
The Most Hated Rival - vanquished!
I hope you harbor no I’ll feelings. I appreciate your frustrations, I genuinely just got frustrated seeing nothing but negative posts from you on the thread. You were the target of my frustration with multiple posters who cant seem to appreciate anything positive. At the end of the day it looks like we’re getting the W so hopefully we can all just be happy. Even if only for a week. Having said that, I definitely still believe this is the beginning of what’s to come
Brohm opening season loss curse has been broken!!
As Joe Tiller used to say in private, never a doubt!
A lot not to like, but we got the all important W!!!!!!!
I was also tired of all the negativity halfway through the game, when the outcome was far from decided (thus my post trying to give AOC a chance b4 he was persecuted was born from that same frustration)..
David Bell for BT Player of the Week!!
Jeff Brohm still needs to win one though..
But I'll take it!

I still don’t think that AOC is the guy, but I respect that he got us the W and I’ll take it! The underlying positive is that no matter who is under center for us the wr group will make the most of anything they can get their hands on
Y’all crazy. Defense looks improved. Bell fantastic. Wright solid. Horvath amazing 6.1 ypc, better than the Iowa starter For those of you who kept criticizing him for being too slow. O’Connell solid and clutch as hell!!!! And all this with out coach at home and our best player on the sideline. Boiler up!
I stayed away til it was over because I knew the board would be a negative shitshow.
Looking forward to see Rondale and David play together. How can you stop the Dynamic Duo.
Jesus it was. I don’t know how some of these folks make it through life with the hot takes (almost all negative) after each and every play.
Yes, and despite the trashing by many of you, Horvath and O'Connell would be top 10 BT offensive players of the week.
3 touchdowns with 2 interceptions won't get anyone Big Ten player of the week. Sorry...
Well we have been victim of bad calls. I’m not going to feel bad
No no no, you’re misunderstanding. Your mind goes to this place where I must not think O’Connell is a good guy/tries hard/brings positive things to the table.
He’s:
1) accurate with a decent arm
2) very unathletic
3) a player who struggles when opposing DCs dial up the pressure
He’s not the worst. And the criticism isn’t toward him.
The criticism is toward the staff for not being able to get recruited talent to play better than him. Ditto horvath and Thienemann (but especially Thienemann).
Your Stuart smalley “well I guess you must think Aiden is a bad person who just doesn’t wanna do things right” strawman is tired. Sorry. That’s not the point.
This is a game thread? Dang I came to the wrong place. My bad.
I kid, I kid.
Just the sheer volume of “down” was insane during a well played and hard fought win.
Good game and Boiler Up!
That deficit will not be made up during my remaining lifetime.
I wasn't really talking about your posts, moreso others, although yours might have contributed to the overall "storm of negativity." Especially saying things like this: "The criticism is toward the staff for not being able to get recruited talent to play better than him. Ditto horvath and Thienemann (but especially Thienemann)." Why take the pessimistic view there? Why not credit the staff for being able to overdevelop talent to the point that walkons are able to develop even more than higher starred recruits? In the end, the only statistics that matter are the number of W's...
