Is it wrong that I have more fun reading Hawkeye message boards after a win like this than I do reading threads here?

Is this wrong?

there is at least 4-5 more losses on their schedule if what we saw of them yesterday is in fact the 2014 hawkeyes. their offense is garbage, their secondary is poor, and they have a "game manager" QB that doesnt have the talent around him to require managing. they lose to PITT next week, and I also see them dropping to WI, NEB, @ MARYLAND, and 1 of IL/INDIANA. This is a 7-5 team at best and that's only because they have the softest slate in the history of major conference football. I would kill for ISU to have a schedule like this.
I dunno...I think Iowas chance of making a BCS bowl are on par with the likes of Oklahoma and Alabama.
Isnt the BCS system dead now that we have a playoff? The playoff committee makes the choice on who goes to the major bowls.
Yes, the Big Ten is awful.
No, Iowa State is not better. If you think ISU would win more games with our schedule than we will then you're letting your emotions get the better of you. Sorry ISU fans blinded by their excitement about winning their most important game of the year, you wouldn't win more than us having our schedule. Deal with it.
Iowa State will still have a worse record than Iowa even if losing to ISU generally means that Iowa is in for a very very average year or worse. Iowa under Kirk Ferentz has only once won more than 7 games after losing to Iowa State (2002) and only once did they go on to win their bowl game (2001).
Neither team deserved to win Saturday.
HAHA. I always love it when they resort to the "Neither team deserved to win" excuse. Did this poster say the same thing about Iowa's win over Ball State or UNI? Clearly Iowa didn't deserve to win those games, either.
For s**ts and grins I listened to Jon Miller's "immediate reaction" podcast after the game. He is still saying Iowa State is a bad team and that Iowa has more talent -- hence the mantra coming from Hawkeye Nation posters.
Even though ISU didn't win, NDSU and K-State are heads and shoulders above UNI and Ball State. Several months ago when everyone was upset that Miller wrote ISU would be the easiest game on Iowa's schedule, I said what a coincidence, IOWA will be ISU's easiest game on its schedule. Saturday proved it.
Hawk fans who say ISU wouldn't win anymore games in the Big 10 and say Iowa would do okay with ISU's schedule are delusional at best. ISU would have more than a 75 percent chance of winning against Northwestern, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota and Purdue. I think they would have a very good chance of beating Maryland. I think they would have a 50-50 shot of beating Nebraska.
By the looks of things Saturday, Iowa wouldn't have beaten K-State, and they have little to no chance at beating Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma. They have less than a 50 percent chance of beating Texas, OSU and Texas Tech. I would give them West Virginia, Kansas and Toledo.

They wouldn't beat WVU or Toledo.....and like I said in earlier threads, they would get curb stomped by NDSU and KState.
Iowa wouldn't beat WVU. There would be such a speed mis-match it would be like the road runner and Wil-E-Coyote.
I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I will concede to you two. (;0)
