Ya gotta give 'em points for creativity. Caught an interview with Fran-Tech tonight in which he said his team is tired. What happened to that superior depth?Originally posted by Walleye70:
The worst thing to happen to this team was the beam falling at Indiana. I had told a colleague that Iowa would struggle to win any games after that incident because it would kill the momentum they had after the two wins against Michigan and Penn State. Anyone who has played or coached knows how difficult it is to maintain consistency when traveling and not having the usual routines. This team was on the road last week for 5 days without returning home. While it is frustrating to see them play like this, they have ended the season with an unusual schedule that could turn any good team and make them average."
The sky is falling in Iowa City because it fell in Bloomington.
This always cracks me up, these guys are in their teens and early 20's and could play twice a day all week if needed.

Maybe they're tired of watching their coach scream at the refs all game long...
At least one of their posters don't have his head up his arse. What a stupid excuse the others are making. Iowa is decent team but no better. They should just be happy that they will make the big dance after being away for so many years.DL817: "Burned out from a trip before the season started? LOL.....no"

If anything theyre still benefitting from that trip. They seemed like a team that was ready to go early in the season, and its where they built all their hype that somehow still has them in the top 25
Mentally that is a spent team. I watched some of the game Saturday, and they didn't look engaged at all.
Marble was checked out. The only fire really only came from Woodbury.
They have time to turn it around, but the odds are definitely not in their favor.
