Please explain just one thing...

I think Murray had won the job a week or two earlier. Definitely was not brought in cold for the winner.

Mossbrucker kicked in the Illinois game prior to PSU.

Besides Oregon, why?

Can you honestly say you’re optimistic we’ll do well against any of the incoming West coast programs?

They play offense and score touchdowns.

Yes.

Kirk Ferentz has won a lot of games and will likely be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

He's always said he plays the players who give us the best chance to win.

He's full of shit. Maybe every position but QB. Labas is in the doghouse

I think Iowa will realistically split with them. Location will be more important than any other big ten game.

ehhh, that'll be a problem.

I think our defense has a realistic shot to shut down their high-powered offenses. And with their weak defenses, maybe our offense has a chance to score a few point. I see no reason we can’t be competitive.

I mean, they can’t all have a Christian McCaffery, can they?

 

[CABA3]

IOWA SUCKS.

 

[Bigg2]

Yes.

Just don’t think any of them, except Oregon certain years, are going to be boat racin the BIG10.

If Kirk were to be interrogated by the police...

Whoa, bruh! Hold up right there. You with the nepotism secret state police? Gonna have to see your dummy badge before anyone ignores you any further.

It goes both ways tho - they have to adjust to playing b10 football as well.

Why on earth should I be scared to death by USC/UCLA? Wash/Ore are better programs currently, who knows what the future brings?

If we've learned anything in college football, it's that success is incredibly hard to maintain. Both of those schools have been very up and down the past few years depending on the coach at the time.

 

[sbhawk64]

what does this even mean lol

It means Iowa will no longer be beating crap teams and padding their record. Four teams resembling all the teams in the east division, that would slaughter us, are coming. The schedule we know and love is over

And yet there are only two teams in the current AP Top 25 on Iowa’s schedule for 2024. (And a third team that received 1 vote in the latest rankings).

I agree that the schedules will trend tougher in the years ahead. But it won’t be as dramatically more difficult as some folks seem to think.

Kinda think the travel will be tough as well. and obviously some are going to get better.

All of those schools except Oregon have had extended periods of being crap in this century.. Lots of good games to look forward to and some nice road trips. Bring’em on!
