Iowa has played a weak schedule for years. This year’s schedule is laughable. They will play 1 ranked team (who they lost to 31-0). Next year the B1G does away with divisions and they add teams. Iowa will fall to 4-7 wins per year status.
Its been 2 weeks but last i checked sagarin ratings, isu was close to wisky, and better than everyone else in the b1g west. On top of that, several of those teams are flat out terrible. Wisky and nebby are ok. Minny and Illinois have a pulse. But the rest... yeesh.
Id put them at 6-2 rest of the way.
Better chance of 7-1 than 5-3. FIVE home games and NW neutral!
Other than Wisconsin, the hoks have nobody of substance left on this years schedule. I knew it was bad but didn't realize how bad. No wonder Kirk is not worried, his 7 game win bonus is not in jeopardy.
They touched them everywhere… all the places and in all the ways they could be touched.Iowa please show me on this bear where PSU touched you
Brian took the bear, turned it over, and started to violently spank it to show what happened to him.They touched them everywhere… all the places and in all the ways they could be touched.
I thought that was bad the 66 they had against Wisconsin in 2017 was worse.Getting shut out is one thing. But 76 yards of total offense is insane.
Iowa please show me on this bear where PSU touched you
Yeah Hassel has been terrible this year with his takes. Last year I thought he was pretty fair to both Iowa and ISU while being good to great about sports as a whole. This year has seemed like his blind homerism has snuck through even with Williams telling him exactly what's going on the entire time. Iowa will score 30ppg this year with Cade, oh they would if he was healthy, oh its not only because he is injured it's cuz he missed practices and that's the real reason.Hassel has been using that excuse every single week. He said going into the ISU game that McNamara was playing on one leg basically... and that if ISU happened to beat them... that was going to be the reason why.
If the poster on the ISU rivals site (when I used to be in there) was correct, Iowa should have a solid win this next game. He had done heavy stats that showed Kirk would basically tank a game he felt he was not in good position to win and focus on the game behind it and then surprise people with either an upset win or a bigger win then expected. I could see him saying that PSU is going to be a tough one so let’s make sure we grab the MSU game as a win.
It will be interesting because it looks as though Kirk put no time in on PSU.
I see no point in laughing about Iowa's futility when they handed our asses to us on a silver platter.
I shudder thinking how bad our annihilation would be if we played Penn State on the road. It would be just as bad, if not worse.
If we played them now, it wouldn't be as bad as Iowa's loss. We changed our offense, if we played Iowa now, it would be more interesting. What do you consider a close game? 7 points is a rear pounding it seems. Is a close game only a 1-2 point game?I see no point in laughing about Iowa's futility when they handed our asses to us on a silver platter.
