Wow I thought we had it bad. Sparty could end up 2-4 if they lose and still had to play Mich and OSU
Those smart kids may be better than we thought.Yep. Should have beat NW, but that loss may not look quite as bad.
Part of me wants to think that we stole some recruits from them.MSU, could end up with a losing record...football is a strange game
plus hire greg davisWow, I mean msu has some soul searching after big ten title last year.... What an implosion. Better give dantonio extension.
Remember how much props MSU got for beating ND a month ago? In related news, predict ND final record. They are 2-5 with the following remaining:
Home: Miami, Army, VT
Away: Navy, USC

Narduzzi - the key to the team - has been gone for 2 years. See Stevens, Brad
You may be right, but where? LSU has had pretty good luck with MSU's cast-offs. I don't see him at Texas. Notre Dame (not technically south, but south of East Lansing) will be in the market soon.If Dantonio was smart he would leave MSU for a new gig down south. Harbaugh is going to run that state for years

Without looking I would say each of them have played much tougher competition. The ease of our schedule to this point has been a football godsend.Not that it's any consolation for Iowa's failures against ndsu and nw this year, but msu is a much bigger disappointment than the Hawks.
the golder domers, stanford, oklahoma. All teams with much higher expectations and bigger face plants than Iowa so far.
yep. msu always played like they hated everyone. narduzzi supplied the hate. also one problem is they are having is actually recruiting better. sounds stupid but they are known for playing with a chip on the shoulder. they use to have a team of 2or 3 stars that were not offered by the big programs. those players already came in with a chip on the shoulder. now they are getting commits from 4 stars guys with offers from the big boys. those guys do not have a chip on the shoulder and now no narduzzi to supply itNarduzzi - the key to the team - has been gone for 2 years.

ND has had an easy schedule also. They've played zero current top 25 teams.Without looking I would say each of them have played much tougher competition. The ease of our schedule to this point has been a football godsend.
I have to admit I thought we'd go into the tank after the losses to NW and NDSU. If we pull off the upset over Bucky next Saturday -- and I think we have a decent chance of getting that done -- suddenly we're in the driver's seat for the West. A loss next Saturday and it's probably a pretty mediocre season, but I never would have anticipated a few weeks ago that we'd be this close to turning it around. Needless to say, next Saturday is huuuuge.Not that it's any consolation for Iowa's failures against ndsu and nw this year, but msu is a much bigger disappointment than the Hawks.

True, but Harbaugh owning Michigan recruiting has to hurt also.
Even with that their schedule has probably been tougher than ours. Ours has been almost embarrassingly easy for this late in the season.ND has had an easy schedule also. They've played zero current top 25 teams.
Anyone else notice that on 4th and 6, from the MSU 29, up 10, 5 minutes and change in the 4th quarter, Northwestern throws the ball in the endzone for 6? They didn't punt.

cmhawks99, you should host a radio call in show or be a part time shrink.
I 100% agree, can you help sit that up....I can piss people off with the best of them.... And here is my niche', I actually wont cut people off. Ill string them along until they get caught in a logic trap and have to back track....then they'll hang themslves.
Ask pretty much anyone across the country that isn't an Iowa homer and they will all agree our schedule has been pathetic. Mich State and ND have been tougher to this point. It's not a big deal just the facts. NDSU is not a good team. They needed OT to beat teams you have never heard of and have now lost to S Dakota State. SD State lost to Cal Poly. The Cal Poly juggernauts lost to Nevada and North Dakota. The same North Dakota team that LOST to NOTRE DAME 39-10. Nice try but our schedule has been embarrassingly easy. As easy as any BCS team in the country.Honestly for the Love of God why...why be a fan at all. Its exhausting. Are any of you guys aware that just a few weeks ago Northwestern nation was up in arms with all the same crap you guys constantly complain about. Conservative, too predictable, never makes adjustments, just ask Gladeskat. I've read their board off and on over the years, they treat PF like KF over there. Right now D'Antonio is too conservative. Honestly I really can't believe how "stubborn" fans are ...Is it really possible that every coach that loses is too conservative, really?!?! Because thats what you guys say...
For the record...ND has played Texas, 3-3 that has beat UTEP and ISU (who nearly beat Baylor and Okie St) Nevada who lost to Purdue, MSU who has beat Furman and ND, 3-4 Duke, 3-4 Syracuse and then NC St and Stanford who lost to Washington by 38 and that old powerhouse Wazzo by 28 who lost to Eastern Washington (it happens)...
Quite frankly you could make a case that Minne and NDSU are as good as anyone they've played outside of NC St who lost to 2-4 East Carolina by the way....see how this works, Get outside of your box in the name of all that's Holy.
I get it we suck, just quit watching because from what I can see, Bobby Stoops sucks, Pat Fitzgerald sucks, Les Miles sucks, Charlie Strong sucks, David Shaw sucks, D'Antonio sucks, Mike McCarthy sucks, Ron
Rivera sucks pretty much every coach sucks eventually...Man it must be awesome to be such a constant beacon of success that you can sit easily on a computer and piss and moan.
By the way, anyone see how great Derrick Willies is doing down at TT, you know the guy we really screwed the pooch on because those darn dumb coaches don't know what they are doing. I notice we have several other Internet geniuses wondering why this guy or that guy isn't playing...
