Iowa Football Recruiting

Actually I think going by the line in the game the '98 game Iowa was a big favorite and I think in '05 Iowa was like a 2-3 TD favorite as well. Going by results vs. the line those have to biggest upsets.
They didn’t “crumble” against MSU.
Stanford? “Crumble” would be a nice way to put it.
No no they didn't crumble against MSU. I meant after they had already played one really good team, they crumbled on the next one. The game against MSU was a dog fight to the last minute.
Pretty much the only loss I’ve rewatched. Great effort...just came up short.
To try and turn the convo a bit, I was thinking about this year's CyHawk game. If we lose this game at home with arguably the best team we've had in Ames, I'm not going to be a happy camper. I understand that it doesn't, in and of itself, dictate a successful season, but it will leave a bad taste in my mouth.
When either team loses in any year it leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth if we’re being honest.
This years game will be amplified though. Especially if we’re both ranked...don’t think that’s happened before
That game was like taking the container of oreo’s home opening it up and finding the driver dropped the bag and stomped on them before putting them on the shelf. That said they are still oreo’s. Just got figure how to enjoy them.
Not saying you understand this but help understand. Is would be like going to a party of hot chicks cuz your buddy told there would be hotties. You get there and drink way to fast. You find a hottie and start making out. Then grab her down south and she isn’t a chick mad? Or just normal mad?
Totally agree.
It is just one game on the schedule, and ISU has played just fine the rest of the season after losing this game the last couple of years, so I won't be throwing in the towel by any means if ISU loses, but CMC has to get over this hurdle at some point. It's still important in this state to win this game no matter what the fans say afterwards.
However, beating the Big 12 conference foes, is still much more important. Getting to the Big 12 Championship game will always be more important in my mind. We finished higher in the Big 12 last year than Iowa did in their weak division of the B1G. That's always more important IMO.
Purdue and Wisconsin, and in the East MSU. So tied for 4th overall in conference, record wise anyway. ISU was tied for 3rd in the Big 12 last year right?
Yes.... so technically Iowa was 4th in the B1G West Division.
If you want to break ties, the first one is always head to head.
