Iowa Football Recruiting

[cycloner29]

Whoa! and Iowa State is not the worst team on that list. Whodathunk?

Waiting for the Hawk fans to mention this about the B1G:

Remember when you said Iowa cherry picked stats for using 2015? This is using 2017. Like wtf is that lol. It’s not like Campbell started in 2017 either.

Yeah it's a cherry picked stat for sure. Doesn't change the fact Campbell has sustained some success and already accomplished more than Hayden Fry did in a single season

an * season though. against a 3-2 PAC 12 champ lol for the fiesta win

Cry us a river you big baby!!

Are we putting an asterisk next to Iowa's 5-2 season?

Do you genuinely believe this past season doesn’t have an asterisk on it?

Why would it? I think basketball and football results were what they were

The big 10 season probably deserves an asterisk. They never did get their crap together, including changing the rules to let ohio state get in the playoff.

The other real conferences played a fairly normal season, all things considered.

4-2 with a win over unbeaten USC.

I look and see ISU played 12 games. What would there need to be an * for?

 

[cytor]

I mean Hayden Fry never had a team finish in the top 9 in the AP poll in his career or win a bowl game like the Fiesta Bowl and he has a statue lol

When the statue of Fry was made, did the artist look at a California raisin for reference to sculpt Hayden's face?

 

[iahawks]

Campbell has never beaten Iowa and we could put a statue up of him today. That just shows you how low of a bar we have for coaches getting statues.

FIFY

Nope, but here is what Iowa fans are still doing yet:

 

[frackincygy]

I'm curious since this thread took a left turn into "Praise Hayden" land... How many conference championship games did Ol' Raisin Face win anyways?

 

[jmb]

FIFY

I think you meant low not little.

Except Iowa State played every other team in the Big 12...every year, while Iowa enjoys a cherry picked schedule every year by not even actually playing all of the strongest teams in the BIG. Question...what is Iowa's record if they played in the BIG East? Heck, you have 1-2 more loses every year if you even played Nebraska's BIG schedule. How much to you want to keep Ferentz if he routinely puts in 5-7 or 5-6 records?

 

[iahawks]

Good catch, I thought that sounded weird. LOL

 

[CyTwins]

FIFY

I mean Iowa will put up a statue for Ferentz even after all the scandals. Campbell is not only a better coach than him but also has no baggage

Interesting question so I looked a few things up. In the 10 seasons prior to the B1G moving to divisional play, Iowa played Penn St. 8 times, Michigan 8 times, Michigan St. 8 times, and OSU 6 times. There were four seasons where Iowa played all 4 of them, and in those seasons went 10-3, 10-2, 11-2, and 8-5. During that entire span, Iowa averaged 8-9 wins per season. Who knows how they'd do today, but they seemed to do ok against the best teams in the East back then.

These trolls spent weeks of their lives trying to discredit a 17 point Fiesta Bowl win and then got molly-whopped by unranked Oregon in the biggest basketball game of the century for Hok. You couldn't script it any better.
