Do we dare predict the remaining schedule?

[chuck285]

Forget the Neb game. Not going to happen. oilberg can't gain anything and it really won't help Iowa to win against a crap team like Nebraska. JMO

 

[Legs94]

This is why your name is Legs94, and not Brain94.

Probably a good reminder to not come post when you are super angry at your favorite team. Yikes. Tough schedule remaining, but obviously it was a clear (and very stupid) overreaction.

It helps gain wins and in the Big 10 standings. Iowa should get a forfeit win if Nebraska doesn't want to play.

We've all been there.

I will take a crack at it:

@ Wisconsin- W
PSU- W
@ Michigan- L
@ OSU- W
Nebraska- W
Wisconsin- W

[LetsGoHawks83]

If we bring the M2M defense with the focus and energy we saw on Saturday, I like our chances in ANY game.

Shoot the ball like they did on Saturday... on top of the defensive effort... then look out!

 

[SDHawkDoc]

I will take a crack at it:

@ Wisconsin- W
PSU- W
@ OSU- W
@ Michigan- L

If Nebraska gets played- W

Appreciate the optimism. Don't see them beating tosu, though.

We let it slip away last time so it's not impossible. I guess we will have to see if and how much CJ can contribute.

I hope at least one of your next two predictions is red with a smiley face next to it

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

We’ll be lucky to win 1.


Ultra Ninja Jinx

Juuuuuuuust a bit outside

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

I think we end up 15-11 with a 9 seed in the dance. Might be worse, just depends if CJ is able to play anywhere close to his normal level if at all.

Sooooooo close

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

2 wins at most. Crossing our fingers on Selection Sunday.

Hardy har har

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Off to a good start!

Let's hope you're wrong about the next two. Thanks in advance!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

They could run the table, but unlikely. Too many games have been dropped to make Iowa a title contender. If they can keep playing well, they could get to 13-7 perhaps (assuming they get the Nebraska game in). Time will tell if Iowa continues good play in the man defense. We've seen Iowa have spurts where the defense is better, but then they regress. Wisconsin will be different. They are fine playing long possessions and comfortable with the game being in the 50s. MSU is just bad. Iowa moved the ball a little bit and got open shots.

Just say that Iowa will win out and win the national championship and be done with it.

 

[StormHawk42]

This is why it’s dumb to post in these threads in the immediate aftermath of a win or loss. Almost certainly going to be a reap it at some point.

 

[Jan Itor]

I will send you $50 if that happens.. the record even I don’t care who the wins are against..

You have the $50 ready for transfer?

 

[SotaHawk87]

Absa damn lutely

Like I said earlier, this is why I shouldn't post when I'm super emotional after a loss. Fully admit it was a very stupid overreaction.

We all are lol. I jump into a game chat on another site to let it all out. Then I put my business suit back on for postgame commentary

 

[StormHawk42]

Still doesn’t come close to the all time reap it thread when JRHawk posted “this might be the last win of the year” after beating Boise State(?) in December.

I think it was White’s senior year. Just kept getting bumped all year long.

Good plan. I'm trying to create rules for myself, like never tweeting when the hawks aren't playing well, never post on HR mid game, and give it 24-72 hours before I give my opinion to anyone after a bad loss. I had a full on meltdown after the Indiana losses after having my hopes so high. I look back on it and just say, yeah I'm really a moron when I'm angry. Probably a good life lesson in there somewhere.

Hardy har har

The way Iowa was playing AT THAT TIME, 2 wins was not an unreasonable prediction.

I noticed you didn’t have the guts to post your predictions. Typical coward. Afraid to post your own thoughts but quick to jump in and criticize those who were willing to go on record, but were wrong.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Not sure which one is real, but ... I believe in both.

 

[BirdistheWord]

The streak is still alive, Hope to be wrong in next game.

*assuming game vs Nebraska will only be made up if necessary, at this point


As has been the case each game since the skid started, if Iowa could just get over the hump against Rutgers, that could change the final trajectory of the regular season and we might be able to salvage 3 or 4 more wins. If not, I have a feeling we're probably gonna be looking at sneaking 1 more win in with that brutal schedule......

NATIONAL CHAMPS BABY UNDEFEATED, UNDISPUTED, BAD ASSES FROM THE BIG TEN WIN OUT AND SILENCE THE NATION

They really need to win the next game to prove they have what it takes to beat a high level opponent.

They haven't done that yet.

 

[unoHawkeye]

I'll bite...

Below is more of a best case. Worst case would be 3-4 flipping @WI and vs RUT.

vs Rutgers W
at Michigan State W

B1G: 12-7 (really could use that Nebby game right about now)
Overall: 18-8

Kudos to you for this pick so far. At the time this thread was posted, a 5-2 prediction to finish the season (Nebraska notwithstanding) was bordering on asinine.

Also, @SotaHawk87 is on the verge of being out 50!

I got 7/8 right, happy to be wrong on the OSU game of course. Sotahawk, you can donate the $50 to charity.

Predicting Hawks' records, wins, & loses is best described by this Yogi Berra-ism:
"It's tough making predictions, especially about the future".

So true, Yogi. So true.
