Espn Omaha- Iowa's History Shows They Wont Win The West

No rebuttal for the truth eh.....Nebby is below the likes of Indiana, NW, Illinois and about 8 more big ten teams.....Iowa and Nebby have to common opponents Iowa 2-0 and Nebby is 0-2.....hey maybe you win out and go 8-4 and lose your bowl game as always and end up 8-5...mean while us Hawk fans and Bo are sitting back and enjoying this train wreck....but hey maybe you will beat us in basketball, wrestling, baseball.......oh wait never mind you can't do that either
You don't want to go down that road son. Keep to this years football team.

What do you have?!? Did you know that this years 2016 graduating HS class was not even alive the last time Nebby one a major bowl in 1997 and were 2 years old when Nebby last one a conference championship....that's how relevant you have been in these seniors lifetime

You are embarrassing yourself. You cannot find one post on here where I ever talk about Neb from the 90's. You have outed yourself as angry bitter hawk fan. Being that I'm not high most of the waking hours does give me an unfair advantage over you.
 
YES!

It is a big IF, but win the NU game, keep a few key players healthy and the Hawks win the west division.

This is the pivotal week.

GO HAWKS!!

Why is it a big IF? At worst it's a pick-em. Does anyone really see Northwestern heavily favored in this game?
 
Whoa, slow down. Who said heavily favored?

I could care less about favored, ranked, or pundit opinion. It is a big IF because they are a tough team at home.

You told me not to go down that road and I did.....this is all you have?? Making assumption that I am high bc I live in Colorado.......I was hoping for an argument that Nebby is better than they actually are.....I was just throwing some facts out there....obviously stuck a chord
 
the problem with history is the current players didn't create it. That's why they play the games.
history, as a predictor isn't all that it is cracked up to be.
 
I didn't hear what Russillo said but I heard he said Iowa wasn't good because they have only beat Wisconsin and they aren't very good. That is just horrible analysis. Not good compared to what? Are they top 10 or 15? no but they have looked like a top 25 team so far. That doesn't mean they aren't good. I imagine they were the same ones who predicted Wisconsin and Minnesota to be the best teams in the West.
Iowa hasn't even played their best football yet and they haven't been healthy either.
Rusillo and those national talk show guy will only be thinking big picture, as in "is Iowa a legit CFB Playoff contender?"....

Nobody really should be talking about that right now. That's not even on Iowa's radar yet. We have a good idea of what Iowa is and how high the ceiling potentially could be for this year's team. The only thing they can do is go out and compete against the teams in front of them, even if Iowa ends up against a much stronger opponent playing at their best (and most of us are probably thinking of Ohio State version:59-0 over Wisconsin in the BTCG......)
But who is to say Ohio State will even play that well again this year...or even make that game for that matter (if certain trends continue....)?

Wrong, I assume your high because your posts are unreadable and incompressible. Move along Smokey.
 
*yawn*

I guess it's good that Iowa football has gotten back to the point where the fans can get outraged because the media "disses" the Hawkeyes.

The victories are always sweeter when nobody expects you to win (the people who weren't completely down on the team before the season began are sure enjoying it a little more than normal i would imagine).

I will start worrying about Iowa football when the expectations are great and the ESPN talking heads and such predict Iowa to win...thats when there seems to be the most disappointment by the end of the season.

Both 590 am and 1620 am still believes Debbie can run the table and make it to the CCG. Only recently they begun talking about their National Championship hopes going down the drain.

And yes they still think Iowa can't win in Lincoln this year.

I don't receive those stations well, so I can't directly refute it. Sounds like BS, though, given that 1480 is very aware of the situation. I haven't even heard the words 'national title' outside of a reference to 97 and prior this year at all. I see one listener considers your claims to be garbage. Anyone else? Are the Omaha stations utterly incompetent or is this hyperbolic crap?

Lol, you mad bro? Was it unreadable or difficult to read the truth.....there is a major difference in the two. Let me repeat and compress (wtf?!?!) what I said, "the class of 2016 was not alive the last time Nebby won a conference championship and 2 years old the last time Nebby won a major bowl" sorry for the confusion earlier seabass....hope this is clear enough for you
 
If you really want to go there we can start go over all of the Hawks embarrassing fails over the years. Recommend you stick to this season.
Or we could just watch the Nebby vs Illinois game, or BYU, or Miami, or Wisconsin game....I prefer more current events
 
Hey if cincy beats BYU they too will be 2-0 against teams Nebby is 0-2 against....maybe the American conference would be more competitive for Nebby

I know your slow, but you do realize I'm setting you up for the end of the season right? Your mind is probably too numb from all the malted hops and bong resin build up. Keep going though, it's entertainment for all, or stop now and let it die like your buzz when your realize how completely worthless your life has become.

oh is that what your doing, you are hoping and waiting for Nebby to beat iowa so they can get into the motor city bowl with their 6th victory.....that's cool we are already there, I don't want to spoil it for you but it's pretty cool
Cincy with backup QB is up 10 on BYU......yikes

Cincy who is 0-2 in the American Conference is beating BYU (Nebby lost to) 17-3 now.....I will keep updates coming....I don't think it is on any of the AM stations in Nebby

Unfortunately, living in Omaha I hear a lot of Nebraska sports talk radio. On my drive home yesterday, they talked about Iowa and their chances to win the West. They still think Iowa is a pretender and like NW. One guy said based on previous Iowa teams, thats a negative on winning the West. Hawks either start off slow or can't finish the season strong. He basically said that all he needs to look at is the history of Iowa/Kirk and he's convinced that it wont happen. They talked about our ugly wins and we don't put style points on the board. Ive noticed that any time an Iowa topic comes up, compared to other Big Ten teams, they have the attitude of "Meh.." Beating Northwestern is not going to make people believers. We need to finish strong and I think this team can.

Thoughts on Injuries: Im not one to complain about injuries, unless the starting QB is out. I don't think we should make any excuses about injuries because we are fortunate enough to have a coach that builds depth. Im reading Iowa fans complaining on NW message boards about injuries and it makes me sick seeing that. Every team has injuries, every year the good teams power through them. We can be that team. As a Packers fan, I saw a depleted football team win the Super Bowl in 2011. Leadership is important and that's an underrated trait this team has.

Do you see something different in this team? What will it take for people to actually appreciate our type of football?
My thoughts, never. Win games and it doesn't matter.
I live in Omaha as well and can't believe the delusional Sportcasters and fans I have encountered in the 35 yrs I have lived here. I have actually had people tell me that Nebraska is going to dominate the B10. Every year that passes and they don't, I remind them this isnt the B8 or B12. If they lost every game for the rest of eternity it would be 1 loss short if making me happy.

Where you at? Things didn't go your way and you disappear? Typical hawk fan.
Lol, it's Friday night and I am in Denver.....sorry there are things to do.....congrats BYU beat Cincy with their backup QB at home......is Nebby that bad that you are considering this a major victory
 
Nice win for Hawks. Pasch and Griese did a nice job of summing up everything considering the Hawks season. Good luck getting healthy during bye week.
 
Iowa's History Shows They Wont Win The West

Who cares about history?

This Iowa team is pretty special, I thought we'd lose by 3 or so, instead the Hawks beat another ranked team on the road, with a gimpy QB, the third and fourth string RBs and multiple first teamers out with injuries.

What a great effort today.
