You mean like the last time we played at NW? Missing half our OL and both starting RB's and a gimpy QB, and we trucked the Cats on their homecoming 40-10?
Just FYI we aren't playing PSU this Sat, and these guys aren't even close to that level. Everytime we play the Cats, its like everybody is scared of the boogeyman.
I'm assuming you were referencing the "NW is a pain in our side" part of his comment with this? If so, I'll go out on a limb and say it had more to do with last year's game. You know, the more recent example.
And last years game has as much to do with this year as 2015 does, SO? I just don't see the love for the Cats. Here's a few points on Saturdays game.
While I agree with you that last years game nor 2015's (nor 1897's for that matter) have little influence on this year's game, I'm still trying to figure out why you decided to go with 2015 when we also played them last year. Normally, the more distant from the current year the less applicable the comparison when looking at a game where you have ~25% team turnover every year.
I guess I used 15 because we were on the road, and pretty significant dogs. I'll admit it just irks me that even when were playing coin flip games, we have so many posters who come on and predict an Iowa loss to almost EVERY team on our schedule. I mean, do I think we could lose Saturday,SURE. Do I think we should lose Saturday to this years NWestern team? NO. So why would I as a Hawk fan come on this site and predict they'll lose by two touchdowns? If so many people think we should lose games like this, then why do the same people come on here and bitch during and after the game if we lose? Aren't their expectations being met, if they think we'll get blown out by Nwestern?
