If going 12-0 regular season is so easy, why didn't teams with easier schedules do it? Lol
Iowa Football: The Fake ID of College Football
- Thread starter HogueNation
- Start date
Since WVU joined the Big12, they are 36-28. The following BigTen teams have a better winning % over that time.
Minnesota
Northwestern
Iowa
Michigan
Penn St.
Nebraska
Wisconsin
OSU
That would put them 9th in the BigTen. In the Big12, they are 6th, putting them in the bottom half of the Big12 as well.
They are by definition below average in both leagues.
ISU schedule is not year in and year out better than Iowa's. Last year Iowa's was better in most rankings.
Plus just 6 years ago ISU was in the absolutely easiest division in all of college football. They consistently played one of the easiest schedules for a long time. Heck even ISU fans still rip on Mac winning 7 games all the time saying the schedule was a joke.
Kids a winner and he still lost to FCS teams at home. I'm excited to see the future after losing him
Yeah will be a down year for sure after losing all that talent and such a salty conference schedule.
Yeah probably. What a steal that guy was, good to see that Chargers fans are so pumped about that value. Manny and Josh will probably turn into solid CBs but this season will be a learning experience.
Staying at Iowa another year cost him millions. But I do give him credit for staying. I'd like to see more kids do that. You can never get your college years back. Best times of my life.
He was gonna be a 5th rd pick last year as well.
Didn't think you had one. Him coming back cost him millions, anyone with a brain knows that
Uhhhh, what am I missing here? Where does it say in that article that King would have been a 5th round pick last year too?
He won the Thorpe award as the best DB in the land. He was dumb, in a financial sense only, to come back for his senior year. He would have been a 2nd or 3rd round pick at worst last year, maybe even late 1st round.
I still can't believe how Iowa fans can't admit he would have been drafter higher last year. How can you improve on winning the Thorpe Award? You can't. You can only go down, unless you win it a 2nd year in a row which was extremely unlikely.
He was projected to be a 2-3 rd pick and slipped to the fifth round. He was projected as a 2nd-3rd rounder last year as well, he would have fallen then too.
Ok, so you're admitting that Hawkeye fans had overrated him for all these years then, right?
Because a lot of my Hawk friends were telling me for 2 years now that he was a 1st or 2nd round talent, but now you're admitting that he was nothing more than a 5th rounder all this time. Gotcha. Poor Desmond King, even his own fans didn't think he was ever more than a 5th round guy.
