F*CK IOWA
- Thread starter FallOf81
- Start date
Damn, I sure wish my friends would admit that. You can show them the fact that they have a team ranked 100th on offense...and six(!), six more ranked 117th-130th. They'll say, but they play defense! Lol, yes against trash high school level offenses with zero skill players!
If you go by Sagarin Ratings, straight up take the winner and switch ISU and UI's schedule over the last "X" amount of years it consistently shows that ISU would gain roughly +2 wins and UI would lose -3. Ironically, both programs would almost have the exact same amount of wins over that same period of time. IMO this ends the "schedule" argument. It's clearly obvious even with out data or rankings that ISU has always had a more difficult schedule.
Love the bowl hype. Tennessee is 17th in yards, but 41st in scoring. Memphis is 19th in yards and 7th in scoring.
Even with this stellar 10-2 season I haven't heard a peep from my hok buddies for months. Why, I ask? (That's rhetorical)
I've never been a big pro football fan, but I can't take my eyes off of Brock. It was so great yesterday to see him hand that ball off to McCaffrey who carved up the hoks in the Rose Bowl and throw it to Kittle the former hogeye. I love seeing the ISU kids and the SUI kids getting it done together, especially against the team that tore up Brock's arm a year ago. Warms my heart and I wonder what it does to the hok heart? (That's rhetorical too)

How the hell does Iowa get to play the excuse card of losing their QB to injury and two TEs as to why their offense is so piss poor? Is this not a coaching staff that's been there for a long time? Haven't players been developed each season? Isn't it TE U and they had to get a transfer TE and no one else in the pipeline ready to play?
So Iowa gets a pass for things a long time tenured coach should be able to replace and the wheels not come off.
Iowa State lost it's starting QB, RB, TE and OL (for most of the season) and there wasn't any hasn't been a pass given the same way Iowa was granted. Iowa State offense bottomed out but did the coaching staff sit down defeated like Iowa? Hell no! Iowa State improved offensively, evolved, found it's strengths and grew. Iowa, "well look at what they lost and hohum how it's terrible, who can overcome such a thing?" To Iowa State, "oh, they can't win 10 games?" Lol.
The Iowa State staff handled this year night/day better than Iowa. I'm glad Kirk isn't retiring because it's going to melt down the program there. That offense isn't going to grow, they're going to lose more games, and Parker should move along for a USC payday before retiring in a few years. So screw Iowa and how the media apologized for them game after game. Iowa State had the same, grew and over came and got better. Iowa still SUCKS!

That's actually not bad. I'm going to go ahead and give you credit there. No mention of the injuries, so it's an acceptable take IMO.
Quite the desparity between YPG from 129th to 130th offensively, even with 13 games. YIKES!!!
I don't like Bama. I respect their program, but don't care for them. But I hope they kick the living #$%^ out of Michigan just to shut the B1G crowd up.
Good lord. That's like half the B1G right there.
Iowa's defense was good against Michigan but I also think they ramped down once up 10-0 and put it in neutral at 17-0. There was no reason for them to push anything at that point. Iowa was never scoring against that defense.
That's 6, 6!, Big 10 teams right there and another team ranked at 100th...that's half the conference in the lower 1/8th of offenses. It's trash. It was Ohio State and Michigan at tier 1, PSU at tier 3, Iowa at tier 5 and the rest were bottom feeders and it's not even close. But rah rah the Big 10! Lol. Pathetic.
Not to mention they barely even played Will Johnson to avoid any further time lost with his ankle.
Fortunately for ISU fans this will change going forward. Iowa will be in one of the P2 conferences while ISU will be playing in a watered down version of the Big 12. It will be interesting to see the impact of losing your two blue bloods and the money discrepancy between the P2 conferences and the Big 12.
Their punter who is very good had over a 1,000 more yards kicking the ball then their offense did run and passing it. The only other negative team was one of the service academies and they were like 75 yards different between the kicking and offensive production.
We will be just fine. It won't be long before Iowa is an afterthought in their conference,
