Northwestern to the Big 10 championship game at 7-5

[cheerscoach]

Northwestern will lose to Notre Dame and Iowa, but still make the championship game. Place your bets!!!

 

[millah_22]

After today I'm not so sure Iowa would beat them.

 

[Hawk fan in MN]

I think Iowa loses next week and wins out after that. 9-3 here we come

8-4 at best. My preseason prediction of 7-5 is not out of the realm of possibility.

How sad is it when NW and Purdue are considered BIG games. The West is such a poor division and there for the taking.

Why is that sad? Both are pretty good teams. That's great for the West and the B1G overall.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

tOSU disagrees about the West not being good. The Urb said the B1G needed to improve - recruiting, which leads to better games and winning. He got what he wished for can’t but stand the heat, get out of the kitchen which we will see after this year due to “health reasons”.

You know you want it, deep down.

Lose to Iowa? Did watch the game yesterday?

Hawks win out, go to Indy

Uummmmm, OK.

 

[CLONE1]

Big 12 North > BIG West, not even close. Aw, the pillow fight that is the BIG West.

Take your 15 yards rushing at GTFO

I've seen nothing that says 5 losses by this team is probable.

Correct me if I’m wrong...
Iowa wins out they go 7-2 in conference play.
Northwestern loses to Iowa, but wins the rest of their conference games. Finishes 7-2. Iowa owns tie breaker.
Wisconsin who looks very below average loses to Penn State and maybe another one along the way. Finishes 6-3 in conference.

Correct

 

[sultanofsuede]

Yeah. I’m pretty bummed about his loss, but getting to Indy is still in play, and I think we’ll all be pretty amped up again after next Saturday if we pull out a W.

My God you Clown fans are freaking idiots.

You lost to Iowa yet again, now 4 in a row, yet you come here after a W over an overrated TT team to spout off about the B12 north being better only due to Nebraska being in it and beating your shit hole programs on an annual basis, which they leave the B12 to join the B10 in 2010 where they have never won a league title and only won the West once.

No wonder you guys are little brother with your incessant stupidity.

Ouch Clowns! This pretty much sums it up. Big12 football, lol.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Ya know a lot of you need to understand that the more you want something to happen, or hope something will happen, or say it could happen.............the less likely it will happen.

Got it? Good. Thanks for playing.

 

[NI hawk]

Hawks win out, go to Indy

If hawks win next Saturday, I also think it will happen.

Lost to the Akron Zips at home. What a joke.

If Iowa State was in the Big 10 they would be fighting it out with Nebby for last place in the west.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

OK, Clone fans. We have a daughter attending ISU as a freshman and actually went to the WV game on parents’ weekend. Even wore red and yellow.

I’m doing my best to be a good ISU dad. Please don’t ruin my efforts with a bunch of ridiculous flaming on the Iowa board.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Lost to the Akron Zips at home. What a joke.

You only wish you had NW’s football history compared to your program’s laughable history.

Hahaha!

Nebraska used to own the Big 12 North...

 

[iahawks10]

Big 12 North > BIG West, not even close. Aw, the pillow fight that is the BIG West.

Nebraska begs to differ.

 

[Hawk fan in MN]

Serious question does ISU football not have a board. They have an unhealthy envy continuing to come on this board week after week

 

[Hans81]

LOL, nice try.

Like your mother always says, “Beat it or eat it”. Pick your poison.

 

[TouchdownMyPants]

You know what is a real joke? The Big 12’s ability to prepare a student-athlete for their career in the NFL. JV football in the eyes of those who pay people to play the sport.

You're assuming Iowa beats Purdue. I wasn't. I think Iowa will lose to Purdue on the road but come home and beat NW.

 

[blhawk]

Yeah, that's why he said it's not out of the realm of possibility, not probable. Have you watched Iowa football the last decade? If anyone can make 5 losses happen it's KF. I say we finish 9-4 but 8-5 still a very real possibility. 6 losses didn't seem probable in 2014 as we headed to November 6-2 but we all know how that turned out.

When you have a QB capable of playing like Stanley did vs PSU, you can't take any team for granted. Ok, maybe illinois

 

[David1979]

I think Iowa loses the next two. And yeah it’s sad but Northwestern will win the West. They had benefit of playing Purdue first game of the season and a really banged up Wisconsin team. I see why Hornibrook plays now. Their backup is horrible.

 

[Hawks2405]

The national media will love this. The Big Ten West is pathetic outside of Wisconsin. Sure, we beat a slightly above average Boston College team last year but go back the last 5 bowl games and we have been absolutely embarrassed in these games. You can make excuses but Iowa gets blown out by SEC-caliber teams. We are a 7-5 type program. We don’t deserve to win the West Division because whenever they have a chance to make a statement, they fall flat on their faces.

 

[David1979]

Iowa doesn’t have an all conference caliber receiver, running back or quarterback. It’s hard to win big games without at least two of those things.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

I think Iowa beats Pur but loses to NW. As usual.

And I simply made a comment that I did not see his proposition of 5 losses as probable.

 

[KujawaFan]

I will lose my shit if we lose to Northwestern. They cannot even fake like they have a running game. If we can't beat a team that we have more talent than and we know what is coming every play that would be horrific.
