Why isnt anyone talking about Penn State beating them? I Say they lose to Wisky, Penn State and Ohio State. With possibilities of Arizona and Northwestern too. AND they have to play Michigan in the Big House.

What he says here is straight comedy:

"also think that Iowa and Ohio State will enter their November 20th game with identical 10-0 records, with the Buckeyes ranked #1 in the nation and Iowa #2 in the nation. If that comes to pass, it will be the biggest game in the history of Kinnick Stadium and an atmosphere unlike any seen before it inside those hallowed walls."

They had 6 games minimum where they probably should have lost. they happen to win everyone of them.
We will see if that luck continues.

If I didn't have to deal with the UI fans that I know then I would proably go for them. But since I do then Sorry Hawks.
I guess I need better friends.

No way that is accurate. Iowa was up by 10 points against Arkansas St. when they scored a TD with a minute left. Iowa then recovered the onside kick to seal it. Iowa was up by 9 points against Michigan with like 4 minutes left and then gave them the ball back with about 1:30 left. Iowa then intercepted a pass to seal it. Iowa dominated Wisconsin in the second half of that game and won by 10.

I will give you MSU, Indiana, and UNI though. I have Iowa going 10-2 this year, with them going 12-0 if they catch every break and 8-4 if they don't.

Did he put any real thought in any of these predictions? I can make crazy predictions too.
ISU will win every game for ever and ever until the world ends.
Now put me on the radio!

I know one thing. Put your mortgage and your parents mortgage on Iowa losing (or at the very least covering the spread) at Northwestern. That is a lead pipe lock.

PSU isn't very good. no chance.

I got $100 on the Hawks over 8.5 wins. I love my chances but it would be cool to see them only win 8 games. Worth every penny.

This is typical Jon Miller. Preaches that expectations should be kept at bay. Season comes and he lets his Hawk love take over.

Same thing happened in 2005 when he said he would never pick Iowa over ISU at Jack Trice again unless Iowa proved they could win again. He changed his tune right before 2007 and was wrong. Said he would never do it again. Changed his tune right before 2009 and finally was right.

Iowa OWNS Penn State.
