Michigan is Not Going to Dismantle Us

And we both know Michigan is the far superior team. lol Wisconsin fans can think that they are good but fact is they really haven't beaten anyone with a pulse. Oh well. If Wisconsin makes the conference title game maybe they can lose 59-0 again or something like that.
Did we play up to northwestern, rutgers and ndsu this year? If so, damn.
Down several key players and starting a freshman quarterback and you can only muster a 7 point win against a "bad team"? Yikes. Shit, since Wisconsin is bad, who has Michigan beaten with a pulse? That was Michigan's highest ranked win in 10 years. That should be flat out embarrassing for you. 5 years and not a single division title? Jeez, might be time to disband the program.
Wow, you don't think that Iowa can beat Purdue and Penn State (a team that went into OT vs Minny) over Iowa's next 3 games?
Likewise, Iowa moved the ball decently up to the red zone vs Minny, but simply shot themselves in the foot a couple times (settling for field goals rather than TDs), so final score was somewhat misleading. When a team controls the ball 10 minutes more than opponent (as Iowa did vs.MN) the outcome is usually not in question.
Meanwhile Wisconsin is tied with, wait for it, Purdue and Northwestern in the West division.
Soon to be sitting at 1-2 and looking at a finish in the bottom half of the west. Hopefully Hazell doesn't run up the score when he gets the chance.
Prayers sent your way buddy.
Might be, but as long as Wisconsin is on the schedule we can pencil in one gimme a season. Especially with Chryst at the Badger's helm.

Homers gonna homer though[/QUOTE]
Good teams play through injuries. In fact, your impact guy was your LB. We lost our starting LEFT TACKLE, and the week prior....our #2 corner. Just the LT alone trumps any player you can claim.
No excuses, we beat you. You sound like a whiny little girl complaining about being "down several starters". Your offense is putrid, and had better get a lot better to have a chance against OSU. I didn't see any star players on the injury list that would have made much of a difference.
Also, if you get to conjure up plays your team didn't make, you know we can just say the real score was 23-7...since our kicker apparently lost the ability to make chip shot FGs.

If we burst Kirk's bubble and beat Michigan, he'll make sure we lose the rest of our games.
I wouldn't type this if Iowa didn't have an innovator at the HC who can motivate players like Kirk Ferentz, but I don't see Iowa losing another game this year. They won't be in the NC game, but they'll be in Pasadena again folks. And God-willing, and if the stars align just right, and Coach Ferentz keeps his vitamin K and folate levels up, Iowa will be walking out of the Rose Bowl with a big fat W. Like last year, but better.
Don't be so pessimistic. Everyone in the top 15 will lose the rest of their games, and Iowa will win the National Championship.
We also have the bad habit of playing down to our competition, probably should have added that
Michigan's defense may score more points than Iowa's offense. I hope Iowa wins but I have a hard time seeing that actually happen based on Iowa's offensive performances the last 4 weeks.
50-14-1. That says enough right there. Keep trying to use your homerism to think the game was even remotely as close to what you thought it was. Michigan more than doubled Wisconsin's yardage total and should have beaten them by at least 2-3 scores. But use any excuse you want to try and make you feel better.
Basically, exactly what I said could happen... happened.
Prophetic OP. Hats off -- I was duped, along with most other Iowa fans.
People underestimate the Hawks at their own peril. Many of us learned that this weekend, myself included.

Maybe you need glasses. LOL, I just love the sheer condescending amount of wrong in this thread.
You put pressure on the QB get good line play a few players make plays and step up on the big stage and bang! You beat the big bad booger eater in in a fight in your own back yard at night with the back yard lights on!
