Poor Hawksters - Schadenfreude

[iahawks]

Can't wait for the game next year, well hopefully it happens.

I would have loved to see them play this year. I think it would have been the best CyHawk game of all time. Would have been interesting to see if Iowa could have played and beaten Indiana in the last week if they could have gotten into a NY6 bowl against ISU.

Next year's game should be awesome too, but I feel like Iowa might have lost too many players off this team to compete with what ISU has returning.

Indiana was not a good team without Penix. A 4-6 team beat them in their bowl game. T

I have zero understanding of why any Iowa or ISU fan would want a mutual post game.

Oregon,

Maybe Wisky

Then all the rest suck pond water.

standard procedure on this board if you haven’t noticed

But the B1G actually moved them this year.

Yeah I guess Oregon ending with a Sagarin ranking of 12 is pretty crappy.

That "crappy" Oregon team was better than anybody Iowa beat this year. I'd put them on par with the Ga Tech team Iowa played in the Orange Bowl way back.

 

[AuH2O]

Oregon is better than any team Iowa beat...I'm not sure how else you wanna slice it that Iowa had a weak ass schedule, the Big 10 sucks, their leadership sucked, and their integrity was a joke.

I think when you said Oregon you meant Oregon, Oklahoma, West Virginia, TCU, and Texas.

That "crappy" Oregon team would have been the second best team Iowa even played this year

 

[ISUTex]

Iowa State would have beat any team in bowl season not named Oklahoma and Alabama

I would add Clemson and Notre Dame to that list. Remember what Notre Dame is to ISU in the Camping World Bowl? A lot of the same players on both teams. Not that they couldn't beat those two, but to say they "would" is a little much IMO. Also, Iowa State can beat Oklahoma any time. They should've beaten them in Dallas. Alabama? Yeah, nobody is beating them.

Iowa State would roll Iowa this year. They're going to next season, so you should prepare the excuses now.

I think it would have been a hell of a lot of fun and great for the state to get that kind of publicity as a whole. Normally I wouldn't want that, but since the game was cancelled last year, I think it would have been awesome. Plus I really wanted a shot at ISU this year.

 

[nfrine]

It took your win over a crappy Oregon team to move into the top 10.

Congrats on the great season Cyclone fans.

I'm actually pretty happy myself with another Top 25 finish after this crazy year. Hopefully next year everything is a lot more normal.

The Hoks moved up a spot on the AP poll without playing a game. Probably got the boost because of how tough their bowl opponent would have been....

Why? Did you watch your quarterback? Just because you squeaked by Nebraska and Wisconsin doesn't mean you're a legit top 25 team. Ohio State needed ranked teams in the Big 10 and Iowa benefited. Iowa lost to Purdue. They didn't even have their coach or best player for Christ's sake.

I don’t think any non Hawkeye fans wanted that. I like bowls because we play different teams. I actually would like to have Iowa/ISU not play as much so we can bring other P5s in.

This year I could be okay with playing Iowa in a bowl game, normal years, no I don't want to play Iowa twice.

I would be good with a 2 year on and 2 year off agreement, but I just think this year would have been special with both teams being ranked so high. Might never happen again where both teams are ranked that high.

Whar Okie State?
