I hope they do, keeps the Ferentz's entrenched another chance to see them boat raced in the CG.
Cyclone win expectancy was 78.8%. That's solid. Anything between 40% - 60% is considered a toss up. The last couple years we've actually had HIGHER win expectancy because the turnovers were so unbalanced. To Iowa's credit, Connolly has acknowledged that they are the extreme outlier in year-over-year turnover reproducibility.
It's a metric that looks at play-by-play efficiency and explosiveness stats that are highly correlated with winning, and says "if this game were replayed a million times but always generated the same box score, how often would the winning team be the team that won the real game?"

I expect to see Dekkers have a little more success in the running game as he gains more experience. His decision making on when to tuck and go isn't there yet, but I'll be surprised if he doesn't pull off some big runs this year. Doesn't have to be a workhorse, just enough to keep the defense honest. I'm actually more concerned about a QB getting injured on hits in the pocket, than by being an occasional ball carrier.
They threw a beer can (looked to me anyway) right at the feet of the Iowa defender, who was kneeling in the end zone, right after the Xavier touchdown to go up 10-7.
I don't know how you get away with stuff like that. Game should have been stopped immediately, crowd warned at the very least, or crowd penalized, but no. Like it never happened! Announcers didn't even say anything.
I'm watching the Bengals v Steelers game now. With about 3 minutes left, and the Bengals trying to drive for a winning score, the Pittsburg L DT was lined up in the nuetral zone also. NO call.
I thought Anderson was lined up off sides. You can't make it that easy for the refs. The extra 15 yd penalty became dreamworld, in a nightmarish sort of way.
That is a drive of a century. It will / should go down as one of the greatest in Cyclones history.
Dude from SEMO is on a better team, all around. I would not want to go to Iowa right now.
Agree. Most Iowa fans are fine. Like any fan base, Iowa has its share of bad ones. Iowa does seem to have far more than their share of really bad fans though. Of course I am biased but I can only go by what I see and hear over the years.
Further, to me it seems like a majority of Iowa fans feel quite entitled. Many take it to the next level being grumpy, arrogant, and quite unpleasant overall.
I guess it's just what a good rivalry should be (to a point). To bad it might be going away. At least that's the way things seem to be heading.
They showed the safety that Campbell got last week on the big screen before the game. He got himself a little side facemask on it. Missed call that could have been a game changer.
来年はこいつらを尻叩いてみよう! rainen wa koitsura wo shiri tatai te miyo yo !
[Let's slap these guys on the ass next year!]
If the Gophers don’t win it this year and take their place as the West sacrificial team in the BIG conference game, pj never will.
At halftime I went to the garage to lift and stream Walters/Heft. I finished up right after our TD but we were playing better so I just stayed out there and did a few more accessories. After the apparent strip-sack I thought it was over so I went to get the mail. When I got back into the garage I heard them saying Iowa will set up for the game tying FG and I about lost my ****. My wife kept the game on TV inside so I ran in and rewound the DVR to see what the hell I'd missed.I'm watching the Bengals v Steelers game now.

Is this Brian getting his freak on. Who’s the clown now??
They've certainly completely dominated the two teams they've played. That being said. They have have played the weakest 2 game schedule in the country.
It's between Minnesota and Michigan for the weakest schedules so far.
