I am going to watch my kids soccer game instead of watching it on TV most likely because I think chances are 80% that the Hawks lose.
Someone give me some optimism please.

Give me some confidence that we can beat the goofs

I think Iowa is healthy had to many playing at 70%. We just don't have the depth and some key players were not healthy but still better then backups.

No....I would be going to his game either way. I do miss a few for home games, but I go to as many games as I can. Nothing better than the kids games. He is in high school, so he does not care as much if I am there now. LOL.
biggest reason the Hawks win is because they have to. They have to win this game.
I suggest drinking heavily. That always gives me extra confidence As for Iowa this season, the heavy drinking will also enhance your ability to endure watching bad football.
wrong. based on where they are in the paradigm of their respective seasons, as well as the state of their programs, a loss by the Hawks is an absolute killer. and it goes way beyond chances of winning a west title.
a loss for Minny surely disappointing, but it's a shake it off and move forward for them. Hawks drop this one and there will be fans heading for the exits.
Iowa is due to play with some fire ... I think it will come this Saturday. I think King will finally take one to the house. I think we are going to stack the box and force ML to beat us with his arm. I think the coaches will call an aggressive game on both sides of the ball. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I think Iowa finds a way to win this one (it won't be pretty at times, but you have to keep the faith!).
Go Hawks!
Go Hawks!
Yes I am, my bad. Either way it will be very tough to come back from two early losses. Minnys toughest games after Iowa are all on the road vs Maryland, Neb and Wisky. You all know about Iowas schedule. Going into those games with two early losses and coming out on top of the West? Forget about it.
If losing to NDSU and barely beating Rutgers didn't spark a fire, I don't know that losin to NW will do anything for them.
That said, at least my cubbies will be winning in the evening!!
Yep, Hawks will win Saturday. This is what KF does best, right about when people are getting the pitchforks ready, he manages to win a few to fan the fumes for a while.
Take the Hawks on the moneyline folks.

If we get beat I expect a total melt down around these parts.. This is a must win.. I agree with Akrum Wadley.. Gotta have a W!
I think some fans are getting beyond the meltdown stage, as expectations for this season have plummeted. If the Hawks lose, I'm sure there will be some melting down from fans who were still hoping for a return trip to Indy, but I think those fans' numbers have dwindled considerably.
Hoping the Hawks get the W, of course, but if not, I think lots of fans will be more acknowledging what they'd expected more than melting down.

I think watching your kids soccer gamers is always the best move, even if the Hawks are doing well. But, yeah, it makes it easier when you know they'll underperform and lose. If a miracle happens, you can always catch the replay on YouTube.
If the Hawks don't show anything and lose then there's a good chance they win only one more game this year (@Purdue).
Or via WatchESPN if you don't have DVR. I have PS Vue and the DVR is very finnicky when recording college football games, it may have something to do with Vue's relationship with ESPN or something, whatever I guess, not too many highlights this year so far or worth a second watch on DVR.
This can be a season swinging game. Iowa wins this game, and next week at Purdue and they are 3-1 in conference and now have something to play for.
If they lose this one and then we Purdue, they are 2-2 in conference and kind of just hanging around. Nothing really to play for as they will have 2 losses in the West already w/tough crossovers left.
Hawks need this game badly. Hopefully see an energetic team playing w/passion and hopefully see a few "wrinkles" in the gameplan this weekend.

If they win, it's a pleasant surprise.
If they lose, meh.
Either way you can find something else about a fine fall day to enjoy.

I think this too. I see a win similar to when iowa beat MSU on the road with Vandy at QB and the Hebrew hammer salting away the ugly victory.
Iowa keeps Floyd.
I'm expecting a loss. A win will be a welcomed surprise.
Leidner is going to give our defense fits.

Not really sure on this one other than it should be high scoring. Minnesota will score a lot of points on Iowa. Their defense however is not very good, possibly worse than Iowa's.
40-35 could very well happen again. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.

I hope the team is more into the game then I am. The give a crap meter has gone way down for me the way the Hawks have played the last three weeks. If they can't get worked up and play with high energy and effort I'm not going to over invest in the outcome.
