Iowa won the second half!
- Thread starter ketelmeister
- Start date
garbage points matter scored a few against tn last year as well. maybe one of these years we'll show up for a bowl game.
Did Nebraska finish with a winning record this year? Just curious.
It amazes me who is over here talking crap after Iowa was in the rose bowl. Yes, Iowa stunk it up today. But we are still better than both ISU and Nebraska.
Obsess much. Why are you here loser? Find me one schedule played out there by a div 1 team that Iowa goes .500. I anxiously await your response.
Iowa played three decent teams. Wisconsin, Michigan State, Stanford. 1-2 on those games. The Big 10 allowing a schedule where you don't play Michigan, Michigan State (reg season), Ohio State, Penn State is absolutely a fricking joke. In your two marquee games at the end of the year, you are 0-2. Yet Hawk fans act like you're a national title contender. You're basically one of about 100 teams in the same 6-6, 7-5 category--but you played practically nobody, so you went 11-0 until real life play started.
Who says we are national title contender? And, if you don't believe we were before the BTCCG, then you are an idiot. I will sit and wait this schedule that Iowa would have been a .500 team that an actual div 1 team played. And, once again, what bowl game did your team play in? I really have no clue cause I really don't give a #$%^. Why are you on our board?
Hell, you would have lost to Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State right there. And, playing those games would have wore you down to lose 1-2 more conference games. Substitute another conference game for North Texas or Illinois State. Now you're getting pretty close...and that's in the Big 10.
Big 10 teams have no clue what it's like to play every conference team--ask Big 12 or Pac 12 teams. And, don't forget--we were a pretty bad team this year, and your game against us wasn't decided until late in the 4th quarter.
I tried to tell Iowa fans how good of a team Stanford was and got laughed off the board. Iowa had a good season and congratulations to them, but I don't think their strength of schedule in the regular season helped them to be ready for the level of team like Stanford. .
Go away now. Your mother is telling you to turn the lights out and go to bed or you'll be grounded.
The Big 12's top two teams are both going to to get blown out as well. Okie/Okie ligh both going down. Stanford should have have Okies weak big 12 spot.
Answer: the game was played at Evanston. I think Pac-12 teams play a lot differently when they're not comfortably out west, just like Iowa struggles when they head to California or Arizona. It doesn't explain the loss today, but historically speaking, there's a lot of evidence to support it.
I would say Iowa was more like a 10-3 team that got a good schedule. Iowa State, on the other hand, was like a 2-10 team that got a lucky upset to finish 3-9. Ouch!
Their offense had a bad day, it happens. I think if they were to play again Stanford would kick the crap out of them. Actually, I think if they played them 10 times they would win 9.
That turned out to be true. It was impossible to know for sure, but Stanford is an extraordinarily impressive team. McCaffery, dear lord, who knew he was THAT good!
Yes he's no doubt the best in the country. He's only a sophomore, and barring injury he has the best shot of getting the Heisman next year.
I will never be able to forget just how bad you were ... and that you blew a 17-point lead against Oklahoma State (the same team getting owned by Ole Miss right now) at home to lose in your best performance all year. Seriously, your team was 3-9 and you're talking smack? I'm pretty sure the Cardinal would have put a 100 on the Clones.
Can he go pro after this year? If I was him, I would. He's ready. And I would draft him before Henry, Fournette, and Elliott if I had the chance.
Thank you STLbadger for suddenly gracing us with your presence. Notice you've been absent for most of the year.
No, he's only a sophomore. And yes Elliot laid the wood to us today. No excuses even if we had our injured players I think Ohio State would have won. But 11 injured starters on D.

So, sophomores can't go pro, I didn't know that. That's sort of ridiculous, but whatever. I wasn't even thinking of Elliot's game against ND today. I'm just saying McCaffery is better than he is, better than Henry, better than Fournette, at least when it comes to contemporary NFL teams. He's an every down back, he can catch the ball, play WR, run from an I formation or a shotgun formation, return punts and kickoffs, he can do it all. I would definitely take him in the first round if he was available this year. Hopefully he doesn't get hurt next year because he has a bright future ahead of him. And I saw his interviews--he's a class act, very humble and congratulatory toward his teammates and the other team. Honestly, he's the whole package.
I am not so sure Iowa loses to michigan. So, that puts Iowa at 10-2. Still waiting for that actual d1 schedule where Iowa is a .500 team. And again. What bowl did the clones play in? I really don't know cause I couldn't care less and would never be on their board.
I agree, we pretty much sucked. And it took until late in the 4th quarter for you to put us away. You were somewhat better than us....not a whole lot. A .500 team against a normal schedule...
Good lord, ISU is a terrible program that plays in a bad conference, yet still their fans come over here to talk smack? I guess that is to be expected from a group that gets a collective hard on over one of the most pathetic marketing videos ever produced and has an athletic department that has to resort to claiming a bunch of wins and "championships" for a coach that he earned as a player at a D3 school. Stupid is as stupid does.
LOL! Yet another Clone fan in denial about Iowa's 12-0 regular season in a tough conference. Classic!
