Gamblin…Smoke and Fire

[madguy30]

Your statement is reasonable, but it doesn't relate to the thread topic. Just 'splainin' the dumb.

The thread topic will come back around in a few weeks and we can back to preseason meltdown season.

I'm just going to say it because no one else has yet, and im tired of @herkyshere BS. ISU would have won 6 games if they had Iowa's schedule last year

Could he just change to herkyisnotalwayshere?

Mentally, is he ever here?

I agree with some of your sentiment, but if from my point of view, Iowa's football program is in a much better place than ISU. Strength of current roster, status of football program historically combined with recent success, NFL success, being in the BIG, NIL situation.

It is probably frustrating as ISU fans, but being in the BIG and SEC will be a huge recruiting advantage over a period of 10 years, especially if revenue sharing ever enters the equation.

It will take lightning in a bottle in order for either of them to make the playoffs, but I look at the past 25 years and Iowa would have made a 12 team playoff at least 3-4 times. ISU has still not won 10 games, while that may get easier without Texas and Oklahoma ever being on their schedule.

Jesus you’d have thought Iowa was a powerhouse the last 3 years with this thought process..

Then why haven't they been in the CCG like 5 straight years because the West has been ******* for a while. Wisconsin has been the only one with a pulse at times and not for a couple years.

With your logic, Iowa has to have been the most underperforming program of the past decade.

I know a lot of powerhouse teams that only average 17 points per game...

 

[Statefan10]

I have zero clue of ISU’s future but the mental gymnastics you have to do in order to come up with some of these takes is astounding.

I can’t for Cade to be underwhelming in that offense and the “Kirk needs to retire” takes come back. Iowa gets two solid transfers and all of a sudden they’re a top team in the Big 10 for the next 25 years.

I am actually tossing a log on your fire to keep this baby burning. Imagine you were wrapped up in a lawsuit. It's a little distracting.

Iowa is much closer to making a playoff, especially with the expanded playoff coming, current roster, success of the Swarm NIL, etc. than ISU is to winning 10 games.

It will be considered underperforming if they don’t win 9 games and make the BIG championship this year.

This a year that on paper they should easily beat ISU.

May be subjective but far from delusional.

How you gonna say you’re not delusional then respond with this delusion?

What makes you think Iowa should “easily” beat ISU?

 

[RagingCloner]

To be fair, there are other years Iowa should beat ISU on paper. 05, 07, 11 all come to mind specifically in recent history. I am not very smart, but the one thing I have learned about football is it has little to do with paper because it is played on grass. And unless DJK and Adam Robinson have come back, Iowa does not currently have a grass expert

You have no clue what ISU's roster looks like.... just admit it.

Most Hawk fans I've run across don't even know Iowa's roster as well as I do... much less ISU's roster.

That's fine, but if it devolves into Cy Hawk smack talk and football conference penis extension (which it clearly has) why not have that bs in the ISR. I don't care if cyclone posters get off topic.

The ISU football forum should not be a place for Hawk trolls and Hawk evangelists.

Those Iowa teams also weren't very good.

It's an overplayed thing and Iowa's depth is usually the difference as seasons go on.

So, any gambling news?

Ok iowaloud.

You can continue to rely on the B1G West being straight trash Rubbish all the way down.

You go Lawman!

And should the B1G be that much better than the lowly Big 12 anyway?

 

[clonedude]

No kidding. Just shut this thread down already. Idiot Hok fans have taken it over talking about how great they are.

 

[t-noah]

The Big Ten West is better than the East from top to bottom. The East has MSU, Indiana, Rutgers, and Maryland. MSU has severely fallen off and the other three are typically a joke. I couldn’t find it, but I’m pretty sure the West has a better record vs. the East. The East clearly has a couple of elite football programs that the West doesn’t have. Also, the Big 12 without Oklahoma and Texas isn’t any better than the West.

The B1G, in its entirety, is pretty much not very good. Yes?

We'll get there eventually. Pay no attention to those hawk trolls. They know not what they doodoo.
