Ohio st and Michigan wear the pants in the big ten given their current coaches. Beat them and you get respect. Michigan state has been really good lately and beating them will get respect.
You bring up the orange bowl roflmao. Iowa beat one of the worst teams to ever play on a bcs bowl. Give somebody a month to beat a team that never passes. Wow, that is impressive.
Iowa played two legit teams last year and lost both times, humiliated in one of them.
Big media likes big names, beat Ohio state and Michigan with their current coaches and you get respect.
Run the table against Illinois pursue Minnesota and northwestern and you expect the national media to roll into Iowa city with hand lotion to celebrate ?
I guess you never watch big media or have never figured out how it works.
Keep your Oliver stone starter kit by your side and ignore the obvious.
Hey, look who finally found courage enough to respond.
Be real careful rolling around on that floor laughing.... when all you have is the
'a', it is easy to get lost.
Georgia Tech was 11-3 the season Iowa beat them soundly in the Orange Bowl. Along the way, the Yellow Jackets somehow managed to beat ranked UNC and VT before defeating some team named Clemson for the ACC title that year. This 'worst team ever to play
ON a BCS bowl' went on to finish a consensus #13. The Iowa defense had as much to do with GT's lack of pass production as anything else.
Iowa played several legitimate teams in 2015. The majority of those games were dictated by conference scheduling while one other is 'required' to placate those that feel the need to justify playing non-con versus a certain instate institution. That alone comprised 75% of the docket.
You should stop worrying about 'big media'. Their task is to find minions just like you so that they can tell you exactly what to think and believe. You make it way too easy for them.
As was stated above, Iowa ran the table against those on the schedule. End of that story. Get over it.
What I have never done is allow this "big media" to replace my own ability to reason and rationalize what I can clearly see and experience with my very own eyes. Too bad you are missing that characteristic.
Didn't UNI have a whole off-season to prepare for one of those non-big media teams that you are so infatuated with here? How did that turn out for the Panthers in 2012?
Run along before someone from the 'big media' sees how absolutely foolish you are.
