Yeah, but wasn't the sked last year set up for Iowa to make a run at the Big 10 title, if not an outside shot at a national title?
Everything I keep hearing (outside of homeristic Iowa fans) is that this team is even less talented than last year's team with a schedule very similar to last year's, and yet there's still this expectation that you're going to win 7-9 games with an outside shot at making a run at the Big 10 title. Um, yeah. That would be like me saying that Iowa State will be playing in the Big XII championship game this year. As much as I'd like that to happen, ain't gonna happen...
