Game Day

[rwe-jr]

Waiting for snow to stop before digging out.
Game Day guys seemed to want to give Iowa some credit but everyone of them stated one loss teams like Oklahoma should be considered a better team.
Point I would have wanted to hear from them is Iowa has showed up for every game against credible opponents unlike teams like Oklahoma and their loss to Texas.
One of the great differences between college and NFL is the idea that every game is important, seems to be lost in the "beauty contest" approach from Game Day.
Guess it is time to go dig out.

WTF is Desmond smoking today? Lot of teams ranked below Iowa would destroy Iowa. Really? If ND wins out, they would deserve to go over undefeated OKie State because they would have beat Stanford. What?!?!

 

[ih8iast8]

Win out & beat an undefeated OSU...make them eat their words!

 

[yerpHAWK]

I remember when we lost to Arizona cause the game was at like 1 am. O wait, we lost because we came out flat, and let our quarterback get sacked 3 times in a row.

The only negative about the national media downplaying Iowa's success is it can harm recruiting efforts. The only way Iowa will ever get any respect is to finally win a championship.

 

[Hawkman34]

Just watched it...it was Herbst reiterate who said Oklahoma would destroy Iowa....what an idiot. It would be fine if he said that he thought they would beat Iowa....but emphatically would destroy the Hawks!?

They would just consider it a fluke

Sorry if I heard it wrong, but I thought he said that teams ranked below Iowa would be favorites against them. That's a big difference.

Game Day crew was slobbering down their chins when Turbin came out.

 

[ABYPFCS]

There are some teams ranked below Iowa that probably would be favored over the Hawks, but not sure what that means, other than an evaluation of the betting public.

I hope we stomp the Boilers.

He said "destroy". Others said teams below would be favored. Favored I would agree with

 

[Tim Dodge Rules]

Starting to agree with the ESPN guys...

Based on play today, I can see why the national media questions the Hawks.

 

[1971hawkeye]

Getting us out there as much as possible is a good thing, no matter how they slice it.

 

[GPRHAWK]

I can see why they question us. I do after the last couple weeks but I still don't think we would "get destroyed" by Florida, Okie State, OU, MSU, or Baylor.

 

[herecomethehawkeyes]

let them question the Hawkeyes. The thing is, they will all say "i told you so" if Iowa doesn't make it to or win the championship game.
Iowa is being talked about. That is all that matters at this point as far as the talking heads are concerned.

Yeah, that was a stupid comment. Who would destroy Iowa?

Baylor, whose best win was over 6-4 West Virginia?

Okie state, who had to come from behind to beat Iowa State in the final moments?

Oklahoma, who lost to Texas?

Florida, who needed a dropped pass in OT to beat Florida Atlantic AT HOME?

Gimme a break.

This plus a million. It has grown tiresome. Look, I don't care if they think Iowa is overrated. It is the blatant disrespect for iowa while these teams they continue to praise have done nothing better than what Iowa has accomplished. It is mind blowing.

We don't look like a top 4 playoff team the last couple weeks but I think we can easily be thrown in the mix with the 5-15 teams. None of them look dominant to me and I've actually seen them play. To say any of those teams are unquestionably better than Iowa is beyond absurd. Do these guys watch the games? I mean even if they don't watch Iowa, do they watch Florida, MSU, Stanford, Okie State games? What do they see that makes them think those teams are so great. I just don't get it.
