    Have your season expectations changed with the 0-2 start?

    The sdsu game is going to be made up anyway and will be a guaranteed win. It's one of those years where the season appears to have opened with IMO the two toughest opponents of the year. Both losses were hard-fought affairs in which isu definitely belonged on the field, so 0-2 changes very...

    Opening Line OU (-17) at ISU

    All evidence points to isu looking past Iowa to the sooners. Trap game (iowa), check. Vanilla on offense, check. First game rust, check. I think the sooners are going waltz in but leave with a comprehensive loss.

    *Official Iowa-ISU Prediction Thread*

    Too much over analysis of this loss in this thread. Just a classic trap game phenomenon that's all. Isu was caught looking forward to the sooners and furthermore cmc handicapped himself by calling a vanilla O. The proof will be seen next week. I'm expecting isu to beat Oklahoma at home to the...

    Smoke in IC: Possibility of new QB

    This might have legs because a Fri rumor changes nothing for isu prepwise. Also the mods on the Iowa board usually clear up such info quickly once known to be false. So far nothing.

    Smoke in IC: Possibility of new QB

    Talk/Rumor going around that Stanley's practice reps have gone to iowa's backup Qb. Either stanley's resting/nursing injury or is on a short leash due the 45%(??) completion rate against juggernaut niu. Mansell is a run first qb and very different from statue Stanley. Edit: Iowa starting RB...

    *Official Iowa-ISU Prediction Thread*

    Final score ISU wins 31-17 On offense, Iowa doesn't have the running game to overcome isu's DL this year. None of the backs can do anything when the blocks don't (and they rarely do) materialize as drawn up. In other words, there's no Wadley like God playing for Iowa this year. The pass game...

    What will iowa excuse be when we beat them this week?

    In past isu wins, the isu super-bowl excuse was on the mark. Under Campbell though there is a difference and it would be silly for iowa fans to deny it. If a debacle happens this year, iowa fans will have to concede that isu has the better team. In fact, if you had won last year, same deal.
