Yes counts the bowl game too. When you combine that they have to win seven wins as part of the stipulation, you need 325.

I suggest ISU fans get to the game early Saturday. I’m guessing there will be several Iowa fans trying to use printed off tickets, or just trying to download at the gate.
Or trying to get through with a hand written “Admit 1” on a small rock.
Minnesota is the only team Iowa has beat in the last 5 years that finished the season ranked.
Until we learn not to:
● Shoot ourselves in the foot
● Be our own worse enemy
● Fumble inside our own 5 yard line
● Get multiple punts blocked in a game
● Have more turnovers than they have
...only then will I feel good about our.
chances to win this game.
.
...and yes, I know we won last year. Let's make it 2 in a row.

Fair, my fav excuse is that the weather delays hurt ISU more than they hurt Iowa.
Was that a thing?
******* up like fumbling and not finishing drives are what hurt ISU that year.
In 2021 ISU flinched in what was projected as a big moment (neither team was top ten material so it was kind of moot).
That’s stupid af if anybody actually said that. That never even occurred to me.
Not the actual game but Iowa’s AD calling every Big 12 program about the locker room theft when the criminal was an Iowa student is another high bar of crying.

This took all of three minutes.
Yeah...that's weird. Both teams were delayed and ISU just couldn't keep it together.
I can't really think of any "excuse" that I've personally used recently, there's not any I cling to.
These recent results do tend to lead to some sour grapes:
339 ISU yards to 173 Iowa yards (a win but still close)
313 ISU yards to 150 Iowa yards (loss)
Cancelled - possibly ISU's best team ever (probably a win taken away)
327 ISU yards to 201 Iowa yards (loss)
To only be 1-2 in that four year stretch, all three games close, with over a 500 yard advantage and dodging ISU's best team. I'm not saying that's an excuse, Iowa did some things ISU didn't, but it's hard to swallow. Especially the conveniently cancelled 2020 game.
As much as I rage against officiating (our Baylor travesty last year still makes me mad), I actually don't think any of our losses to Iowa have been an officiating thing to any significant degree.
At some point people need to realize the yards advantage doesn't mean a lot. Iowa will let a team get down field and tighten up inside the 30.
ISU may hold to low yards but still screwed it up elsewhere.
So instead of saying that you were wrong and that someone did actually use the weather delays as an excuse, you give a list of sour grapes instead of execuses?
No I had never seen anybody use weather as an excuse and agreed with you if someone does that they are stupid af.
I then listed out the yardage #s and 2020 cancellation why this series has been so brutal for ISU fans. That’s not making up an excuse. ISU coughed up the ball in those two games and it wasn’t either team’s fault 2020 got cancelled.
Last season was our best yards per play avg for a season I believe, ever. Could be wrong but I thought ai heard Blum say that in a pod. Doesn’t have to be Iowa specific.
Let me remind you what you actually said, see bolded above. Maybe I misinterpreted "that's stupid as if anybody actually said that."
One of the Rhoads years Iowa fans blamed losing to us on our sound system being too loud.
Fans are not rational when their team loses.
