Regular Season matters now? I thought the postseason championship was all that mattered
Iowa was thrown a bone by only having to play 25% of schedule against teams with a winning record. No, wait. Sorry, that is standard for B1G.
I'm not the sharpest tack when it comes to sports history, but what decade was Ga Tech good at football? My grandpappy was the biggest Hok of all time and I've never heard of this bowl game.
Of course you haven’t..,,your‘re a cyclone fan.up until just a couple years ago you thought the Liberty bowl was the pinnacle of college football
It was a simple question, I didn't mean to make you get all emotional over this. I'll just Google it.
Actual? You mean like winning a Big10 championship game actual? Hmmm...
No. 1:
In the final game of the 1981 regular season, Iowa's win over Michigan State, coupled with an Ohio State upset of Michigan in Ann Arbor, gave Iowa a share of the 1981 Big Ten title. Since Iowa had last been to the Rose Bowl in 1959, the Hawkeyes got the conference's berth in the 1982 Rose Bowl. (Talk about bones being thrown!)
No.2:
Iowa would finish the season with a 10–1 record, losing only in Columbus to Ohio State. Still, Iowa would win its first outright Big Ten title.
No.3:
Iowa's final regular season game in 1990 was against Minnesota, and Iowa entered the game with records of 8–2 overall and 6–1 in the Big Ten. Early in the game, results of other Big Ten games gave Fry his third conference title and third Rose Bowl berth in ten years more than any other Big Ten Conference team. However, Iowa's loss to Minnesota cost the Hawkeyes the outright conference crown; the Hawks finished tied atop the Big Ten Conference standings with Illinois, Michigan, and Michigan State, all of which compiled 6–2 league records.
My joints are getting sore just thinking about SquawkNation's mental gymnastics routine.
At least JTS doesn’t have pictures of it being defaced like Kinnick did this summer due to the racism issues.
KKKIrk gonna put the Music City”we almost participated by beating no one with a winning record” Bowl Banner in the Iowa Athletic Department?
You're really taking this NY6 win hard. This is sad to see you unravel
Thanks for pointing out those 3 Big10 Conference Championships that Fry won. I think CMC has a very good shot at winning his first Big12 Conference Championship in '21.
LOL. We all knew once they announced you were playing Oregon that you were going to win it. Oregon couldn't even win their division.
The fiesta bowl has driven that sand deep up into you folks hasn’t it? Driving you nuts that Campbell did something in 5 years that Kirk didn’t.
You do realize that a divisional championship is not a Conference Championship. Iowa won its division and was the RSCC in 2015, but did not win the Big10 Conference Championship.
