How high do we jump in the rankings?

Still waiting for description of better resumes...

Didn't I tell you I'm done arguing with people that cannot or will not use logic?

I gave it to in the coaches poll. If you have a bunch of little fantasy land benchmarks that you use to make Iowa a top 5, how can I argue with that?

You're wrong and the brightest football minds in America have shown you that in what we call "rankings". Keep digging your hole, everyone here sees my point.

The fact you keep using the coaches poll as your defense show how out of touch you are.

So mthawkeyes is the expert I should defer to? Reall, do you think Iowa is top 5? I like your team, but he's delusional. He's the same guy that was probably calling for your coaches head last year.
 
Same story with Hawkeyes fans saying (with a straight face) that they belong in the top 5. Good luck to your team, I'm done arguing with people that refuse logic at every turn.

Let's face reality here, if the polls started today Iowa would in fact be ranked much closer to the top 5 then they currently are, but the short term historical bias of starting the year unranked takes time to overcome and luckily time is on Iowa's side now. If the polls started today Michigan would be fortunate to be pulling in single digit votes in any poll, which would slot them below the 25th position, instead of being propped up by graduate assistants who DGAF, voting for their bosses and a football team who's cobbled together with string & chewing gum and wrapping tape and a large heaping spoonful of irrational hope.

How's that for logic you UM slappy? Enjoy your annual descent towards mediocrity. Your tears of frustration must taste excessively sweet today, perhaps you should boil it down to a syrup to enjoy on your pancakes. We've owned you in our recent history (4 of last 5) much like your "little brother" has, and based on what I've seen with my own two eyes this season, we would handle you fairly easily this year as well, because your team is as soft as a pillow stuffed with cuddles. Furthermore, I'd have to say based on yesterday's results, you're not very well coached either, despite the youthful exuberance of your fan base over the HarBo's return to AA. So piss off.

Go Hawks!

Win something sometime, then you can talk. Brace your girdle, harbaugh will own Ferentz (or whoever you guys have when you fair weathered fans run him out of town) for years to come.

I don't even know why you are here. Go back to your own damn board.
 
I've been here for months with no trouble until people here started puffing out their chests. Nice fan base you have here...

Number of coaches Iowa has had in the last 30 years vs number Michigan has had? Yeah, Let's talk about fair weather fans.
 
Excuse these people, MML. We're not used to success and evidently sometimes have a hard time handling it. :p

Do you even know what a resume is? Either present EVIDENCE for WHY five teams should be ranked ahead of Iowa, or present your GED so we can confirm that MichiganManLifer = MulvaSpills.
 
He said name 5. BTW, call me when your team has done something, loser.

Define do something.. Be one of the two teams in the country that have road wins against Top 25 teams (along with Alabama)? Be one two teams that have beat 3 ranked (previously or currently) so far this year? Or did you want to talk last BCS bowl type stuff? Maybe head to head vs each other since I was born? You pick.. let's chat!

Win a big game in a big situation. NC? Rose Bowl? That enough? You took it out of context as I was saying 13-0 is a long way away. Some no nothing "fan" on here was acting like Iowa will be there no matter what, like it was definitive.

You really want to directly compare Iowa with Michigan?
 
HAHAHAHAHA!!! first, you're on the team? What position do you play? Don't you have to MAKE the title game before this tough guy stance you're making. It's cute when little wanna be football players start spouting off. Thanks for the laugh.
You know your on a hawkeye
Don't be dumb. You expect to jump Florida for losing a tight game to LSU on the road? Name the 5 teams you guys will jump? I know UM, but who else?
this was your first post on this thread, what response were you expecting when you start it off acting like a 5 year girl..."don't be dumb"

Over my lifetime, PLEASE I would LOVE TO!
 
I predicted 15th, 14th at the best. I also said we would not pass Florida. All of this validates that my opinions have no value what so ever.
 
Over my lifetime, PLEASE I would LOVE TO!

Why does your lifetime matter at all? Typical snot nosed millennial, I assume.

For that you are right, we have a national championship and multiple rose bowls. You have a lot of participation ribbons. To you, that's a winner, I know...
 
Almost positive Michigan man is one of the lovely meat chicken fans that sent death threats to their punter.

He comes to the Iowa board because he can't stand his own board right now or Michigan States. He is a lost sad puppy that can't find his way. Trust us MM we are all laughing at you.
 
I realize you guys do not have a lot of experience being 7-0 so I want to cut you some slack, but some of you make it pretty difficult with all your vitriol. That being said, it kind of sucks when people dismiss and discount the hawks accomplishments doesn't it? Maybe think about that the next time you feel like doing it to all the other teams. Glossing yourselves "bullies of the bigten" and what not, try making a good 3-5 year run of 11-1 or 10-2 type seasons before making complete idiots of yourselves. I'd say act like you been there, but since you haven't, I won't. Obviously there are some great hawk fans on here, but evidently not the more prolific posters. Yes I am talking to you Smokey and omahahawk.
 
As I said above, I've had no trouble here until

well seabass, pretty sure we are remaining on our own fan base message board and just defending our team, which is pretty easy right now....because of that you are getting pissy and also because we have already surpassed the amount of wins Nebby will have at end of season.....not sure what you keep expecting when you come over here posting with your BS comments

This is what I have trouble understanding, This is an Iowa message board, Yes some fans are likely going overboard, So what, They are excited about the team, About the season and what could be possible. Again, They are doing so on the IOWA forums, Why should fans of other teams be offended when they come to the IOWA board and see the fan base excited. I find this year much more enjoyable than last years fire the coach, Fire the AD, Fire the waterboy threads that dominated. Iowa is having a nice year so far and the fans are enjoying it, I see no problem..Again, It's outsiders that come to the IOWA board that seem to be finding it offensive, My advice, Don't visit if you dislike a fan base enjoying their team and the season they are having.

This from someone who constantly crows about how fun it is to go to other message boards to gloat. Notice you didn't have much to say after that idiotic, premature comment about BYU. At least your posts consistently foolish. Too bad you don't have the integrity to come back when you're wrong, which is most of the time. You give all these other decent people a bad name.
