Do we have any chance of actually winning on Thursday?

[Gridiron24]

Heck no. They're done. Mentally checked-out.

At 8:30 pm on Thursday, Illinois will be there to
end the season of the Hawkeyes.

Steve Alford is free. Maybe Fran will get a hold of him and and get some advise on winning games in BTT. Maybe even let him sit on bench. Alford did win 7 straight games in BTT. Fran has never beaten a team seeded higher than 8th.

So it's an excuse then.

No. An excuse is “here is why we lost, and you can’t blame me for that”.

An explanation is “here is why we lost”.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

No. An excuse is “here is why we lost, and you can’t blame me for that”.

An explanation is “here is why we lost”.

"This team is mentally fried"

Why?

"Because Fran..."

Meh...f*** the excuses.

LOL true but that's COLD!!!!!!!!!

I think we beat who ever we play on Thursday

I also think we play Michigan down to the wire

Iowa's tourney history with much better personnel is just south of atrocious, so no, there is no reason to believe Iowa can stay within 10 points of anybody right now. That doesn't mean Iowa can't win, just that there's no evidence suggesting it's even remotely possible. And it doesn't matter whether they play Illinois or NW. This team that not so long ago was finding ways to win is now even better at finding ways to lose.

Exactly. Even if Fran said “this team is mentally fried”, he would not necessarily be giving an excuse.

An “excuse” would be adding “....and it’s not my fault.”

Hmm, no what I said is all there is to it. No need to add any more layers.

How about this, instead..............f*** the explanations, too.

How's that sound.....

This team laid two major turds against Wiscy and Rutgers and has progressively “regressed” since the Michigan win.

My expectations of this team regressed as well... I have none.

We gave Michigan their closet game last year, took 'em to OT. Otherwise they had double digit wins.

What happened Sunday?

 

[kcgolfer]

Iowa will play Illinois on Thursday. We will get beat
by an Illinois team that is more athletic and hungry
for a win.

Agree, but name one team that isn't more athletic than Iowa.

IIRC we lost in excruciating fashion.

It'll pass.

Crispin picked us as his "Dark Horse".

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

There is a difference between excuses and explanations.

Everyone plays the same number of games.

McCaffery needs to figure it out.

 

[H4wkfan4life]

lot of negatives nancys I see.


why you guys even here? season is apparently over

 

[BBHawk]

Yes, Iowa has a good chance of winning.
