Pessimistic Optimist

Fan of all things Iowa. A sports, music, film, TV, and tech junkie. Am I an optimistic pessimist or pessimistic optimist? Hyperbolic hot takes fan account.

Had Iowa had a single player even enter the transfer portal yet?? Incredible culture in Iowa City to have the complete buy in as a team and not as individuals.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

@RushMornings And if it’s another Q1 lost win opportunity on Sunday, then it might already be “uh oh” time.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

@RushMornings I’m exaggerating obviously but if Ben’s substitution patterns don’t change then I think we need to have a real serious discussion about nepotism on men’s basketball…AGAIN!! First time I’ve been upset with Ben’s coaching.

@hawkfromnorwalk I’m pretty pessimistic after tonight but dang this may be pessimisticly pessimistic

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

@Hassel_Chris Except that was their best chance of a Q1 win out of Big Ten.

Iowa 15th in CFP

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

@DanHeim79 @AndrewCDowns Coaches kid playing more than others who should be playing is going to be an issue I see. I’m tired of nepotism at Iowa. Ugh.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

Massive missed opportunity of a Q1 non-con win. Need to get 1 of next 2 now. 0-3 here would be incredibly disappointing and already put Hawkeyes in tough position resume wise. Need those non-conference quality wins.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

Can Iowa MBB ever get Q1 non-con wins?

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

That’s game. Bad loss.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

Get McKeever in there please. Ben what are you doing.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

Oh my god

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

@RJHINDM And VT 30

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

Balm don’t lie!

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

Bullshit!

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

@TheBarman74 I hope it’s just a “figuring lineup out” deal right now because Ben will get shredded if Peyton is more PT than Coleman over the season and cost him games.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

Like to see more of Trey Thompson over McCollum though. Not a good look for recruiting.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

@TheBarman74 What’s it telling Cayden Daughtry that you play your son over the 4* kid that has been there for 2 years? I can guarantee you that is being used in negative recruiting right now.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

@TheBarman74 I’ve been told I’m only negative and complaining with that post.

[Pessimistic Optimist @IowaHawkGuy]

@JeffBrown998 Yup. Sure do. All I’ve done tonight. For sure.
