We’ll know in 10 days.

well, I did have Iowa winning the Wisc game, going 10-2 !!

Clearly he does his homework

Clearly he does his homework

i have said for a couple months now that Iowa beats Wisky and wins the West; maybe he thinks the same

I think Brian has been holding back on the offense; I think we are gonna see craziness the night of Sep 22, similar to what we saw last year vs Ohio State

 

[LAhawkeye]

I live in Pasadena so I'm always ready!

Well, Iowa does owe Washington a Rose Bowl defeat, so there's that...

 

[FreddyUI]

The other 4 projections apparently have Iowa going undefeated, winning the B1G championship game and playing in the College Football Playoffs.

Not sure I ever want to see Iowa on the same field with Washington ever again in a rose bowl

And then a complete dud the following week?

I’d be okay with that considering the next week is a bye.

Touché.

No one predicted Iowa to go in 2015.

I wouldn't bet on it, though. If the stars were to align, however, then I'll I ask is they show up and are competitive. Iowa hasn't been competitive in a Rose Bowl since my parents were in diapers. They're both in their early 60s now.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Not likely. But if they do go, it sure would be nice if the team actually showed up and made a game of it. Not even asking for a win. Just play like they belong there

We will know in December. Plenty of chances after Sept 22 to lose games. One at a time.

The 363 days of perfect weather each year must just suck.

I don't know ... when I was younger .... I could remember Ohio State losing way too many times to USC (or so it seemed). All the same ... they'd still get back there ...

 

[CelticHawk]

Sounds a lot smarter than Chris who picked us to go 8 - 4.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Well, we can kiss that goodbye now. Stewart Mandel is a good guy but he just cursed us.

I thought about this, and no, just no. I like this Iowa team.

I believe this as well. I think they've been holding their cards close to their vest and will come out with a dynamic offensive game plan. Wisconsin won't know what to do until it's too late.

it definitely does LOL

I hope we are right!

We were very competitive in the game that Ronnie Harmon got paid to lose.
