It's worse this week than it's been all year. NO ONE is giving a chance against Michigan State, which is stupid. They aren't unbeatable by a long shot. They've had plenty of struggles and plenty of games where they underwhelmed. This outclass Iowa at every position garbage is beyond ridiculous. I even read some hall fans spewing this drivel. Just one more week of silencing the nonsense for this group. I think we see a really motivated Iowa team that plays a tremendous game and shuts everyone up! This game can't get here soon enough. I'm tired of people talking and jabbering across the country. Let's play already! Sparty has an ass kicking coming Saturday night!
Absolute disrespect

Son! I like the cut of your jib.
They have 1 loss and 2 more games in which they were losing with no time on the clock. Yet, they are supposed to somehow be virtually unstoppable?
I don't really care about disrespect so much. But it would be nice to hear thoughtful analysis and opinions from outside of Iowa not swayed by this would-be juggernaut MSU.

I've never seen an undefeated football team this late season get treated the way is and has been. Kick their ass Saturday and give them all the Matt Roth middle finger!
Gonna be the same thing when we play OU or Bama. Embrace it my man. Nothing will make victory sweeter.
Don't like it? Don't read it. Enough of the dad posts trying to tell everyone what to do around here. We get it.
This. We were like 6.5 dogs to OSU and people were acting like we had no shot.
Bama is like a 17 point favorite over Florida. Florida has no shot.
If all games were decided on point spreads and eyeball tests the suits would have the same 4 teams in the playoffs every year no matter what their records were at the end of the year. Playing the games seem to have a way of derailing their hopes.
Listening to Mark Packer and Eddie George on Sirius XM yesterday. They didn't pick a winner, but told a Mich St fan that they should be really nervous about playing Iowa. Said a lot of nice things about the Hawks. They thought it was going to be a 3 pt game, either way.
Another guy called in saying the B1G was meaty oaker (wob), and Mich St would beat Iowa by at least 2 td's. He was really high on Stanford and the Pac 12. They pretty much shut him down right away by bringing up Stanford's loss to Northwestern. All he had to say after that was "we'll see."
Anyway, I like to get insight from people who know more about the game than I do (pretty much everyone). That's why I listen. ThIs is one case where, respect or not, it doesn't matter because it gets to be settled on the field. That doesn't always happen.

Lincoln Kennedy said he thought Iowa would win...so did Wannstadt...
Three people I know and who follow college football religiously like Iowa in this one too...one is a Bama fan and the other two are Badger fans.
I like Cowherd...but he isn't on around here anymore that I know of...He is just a little cock rooster trying to drum up numbers for his show. It is entertainment...
I has a chance...which most football teams no longer have this time of year. I like our chances in this one... I think Iowa's O-line is confident and relishing the opportunity to play ball with MSU's touted d-line...and we will see what happens.

It is all merely fuel to the fire... I for one personally think the coaches feed off this and use to fire up the players... And I wouldn't have it any other way!
Not "no one." LC has $100 on the Hawks, straight-up.
Heather Dinich grades the contenders. Only Clemson & MSU graded ahead of us. Same grade a Bama. Oh, she works at ESPN, the organization with the agenda to hate on the Hawks.
The entire world is not "disrespecting" us.

Idiots like Finebaum have no idea the history of the series that last decade or so. Saturday will be a tough, hard nosed, old fashioned, slobber knocker of a football game. The way football was meant to be played. Chances are it will be a close game in the 4th quarter.
The opinions of the sports talking heads are worthless. Why? Because it's not about the Hawkeyes at all. It's about boosting their sports networks' TV ratings. I choose not to pay any attention to their noise. GO HAWKS!!
Agree - I was going to post earlier that I have spent about 16 hours in the car this week and there has only been a handful of times I actually thought Iowa was disrespected. For the most part I have heard a ton of good things about Iowa especially on Sirius Channel 84. Even callers are complimenting Iowa - reading this board I thought every radio program took 45 minutes to discuss how bad Iowa was.
Take it with a grain of corn. It's better to be the hunter, than the hunted.
It also puts all the pressure of winning on MSU.
