Actually it was a frustrating year for Iowa and Iowa fans. Great at times and horrendous at others.....
Only for the delusional.

Most hawk fans are ecstatic. As they should be. Like the commentators said, it’s very tough to win at Iowa.

Yeah but 8 wins against the 5th toughest schedule in the country, all the while breaking in a new unproven QB, new unproven WRs, new unproven TEs, new unproven CBs, new unproven safeties, new unproven OC, a very green DL, and having to start unproven freshmen at both OTs most of the season? Pretty impressive.

Absolutely. I was thinking of the Purdue game...if there was a turd in the season that was it. Overall I'm pretty stoked about the future. Especially with the recruiting class we're pulling in.

Absolutely :)

Listen, I like coach Campbell...he's a hell of a coach and you guys are absolutely justified in being stoked about what he's done but.....the Cyclones were 6-2 and ranked. Ending 7-6 would be a little anticlimactic don't you think?

First of all, I'm sorry that you can't enjoy your win on your own board. Pathetic really, but congrats anyway. Second, no, it wouldn't be anticlimactic, because here's the thing: We are in YEAR TWO of a new coaching regime. No one expected us to do what we've done in two years. Our recruiting classes continue to be the best they've ever been and Hawk fans are clearly threatened. Sorry dude, but win or lose on Saturday, this thing is just getting started, and it's only going up from here.
 
When he steals as much money from the ISU athletic department as KF has from the Iowa athletic department we can start talking about whose manhood is bigger than whose when it comes to donations.
Well...if he ends the season 1-4 there should be some questions raised about that big pay raise IMO :)

Since there's a 15 page Hawk bowl thread on Cyclone fanatic I wouldn't be throwing around the term "pathetic" lightly. Good luck against non P-5 Memphis.:)

1-4, lol. The questions about KSU and OSU aren’t directed to the coaching staff.


Congrats on the banner year. Beating Iowa State and a bowl for Iowa is admittedly huge for where your program is. It’s very tough to win at Iowa.

Didn't Ferentz have like 3 total wins after his 2nd year at Iowa?

I mean, glad Iowa has higher standards and all after 20 years of their golden (or olden) god but at this point ISU's seems a little higher.
 
Where did Campbell donate his big pay raise?

A little too predictable of a response, don't you think?
How many tens of million$ has Capt. Kirk made? I'm sure it will be just as easy for CMC 20 years from now.

You think CMC will be at ISU 20 years from now?
