F*CK IOWA

[Mr.G.Spot]

You think message board posters represent the majority opinion of a program's fanbase?

I have no math for my opinion, but based upon my experience, excuses and not admitting the better team won hits about 90% of hogeyes.

 

[Mr.G.Spot]

I think the fact that Iowa will play two likely top-10 programs to ISU's zero in the regular season takes away any doubt whose schedule will be tougher. I just don't think Utah, KSU, Kansas, WVU, etc., come close, then add in Houston, Baylor, TT, Cincy, UCF... This is where everyone knew things were going, Iowa's SoS would be amping up, ISU's would be amping down with no more round robin and OuT off the schedule.

Wow.

You might need to find different people to hang with.

Right, Iowa can’t control their schedule outside the non-con. So it would helpful if ISU ever finished in the top 25 in improving that metric.

ISU would be in the top 25 if they had Iowa’s cupcake schedule. But we can’t control the schedule outside the non-conference, too

 

[7Got6]

What is the ‘chance of something more’?

A competent, top 70 offense would have given them a punchers chance in two the losses and certain W against Minnesota.

You’re probably in the top 25 if you win your non-con games like Iowa did.

This year's Iowa schedule was a cold pile of poo.

Guess what Tennessee primarily likes to do offensively...... run the ball. Perfect matchup for Iowa. Expect another 10-3 type game there folks! So much excitement!

I thought you were referring to the Michigan game. A top 70 offense might have got you being a 10 point dog.

Ranked SEC opponent, should be fun.

Ranked or not, ISU was possibly their best W of the season. I guess you could argue Wisconsin but that’s debatable. ISU was pretty far from dragging down iowas SOS.

Agreed. Maybe Iowa can win against a team currently in the top 25. Iowa State has 2 such wins

 

[exCYtable]

Wait until BB season. Those MF'ing refs and Wilson basketballs will be a real issue for the hoks.

That reminds me, we gotta play those cheatin mfers this week, don't we?

Yep... your last chance of the year to show you can actually beat a team with a pulse. Good luck! It would be nice to be able to put at least 1 feather in your cap for this season.

Agreed. But Iowa hasn’t had a top 70 offense in quite some time

 

[Gonzo]

Yeah I was thinking ISU might eke its way in there.

ISU doesn't have a pulse?

 

[clonedude]

ISU doesn't have a pulse?

Evidently not... according to the pollsters. Honestly... we're too up and down to be ranked. Can play pretty well one week, and then look like crap the next. That's called being an honest fan about your team. Not like Jon Miller and most Hawk fans.

 

[Cyhig]

Yeah I was thinking ISU might eke its way in there.

Yep. ISU has more quality wins than other teams in the top 25. But it is what it is.

 

[Mr.G.Spot]

That is many years of witnessing complete nonsense. Truth be told I don't think i have ever heard that simple sentence - we got beat by a better team. Never.
