I understand the purpose of this thread but one thing that bothers me about a thread like this and alot of the other threads I've read since the Hawkeyes win is the fact that we got blown out and taken to the woodshed bottomline and still don't want to admit it or give the other team any credit. Don't take me the wrong way as I am as much to blame as anyone. I looked for every reason not to give the Hawkeyes credit. I always do.....I can't stand it. However the reality is we are not a good football team. I had my doubts after watching us give up 400 yards of offense to North Dakota. Instead of actually paying attention to what the underlying issues were with the Clones....I got wrapped up in the excitement about the win and the fact that Iowa struggled against UNI and that Bulaga was out that I put myself in a position to overlook how bad we really could be and honestly thought we would have a chance against the Hawks. My bad for putting myself in that position.
We are not that good and that reality hopefully will set in soon for the team and maybe we can salvage some wins. At this point, I'm not so sure we can go on the road and beat Kent State with what I saw out of us this weekend.
In regards to Miller and the rest of the "Hawk" crew, I take it with a grain of salt. Miller has never hid his love for the Hawks so I expect it. I wouldn't expect any of our announcers or media folks to give much love to the Hawkeyes....matter of fact, I'm pretty sure they don't. We don't like it other....it's a Rivalry, remember?
