We beat every team we were favored to beat and lost to every team we weren't. #HawkeyeSteady.
We stand a good chance of finishing 0-4 and 6-6.

Weak schedule? Going into the week we had played more top 25 teams than anyone in the country.
We also played a more difficult schedule than Clemson, Georgia, Alabama, Penn State, Oregon, Utah, Wisconsin, Baylor, Minnesota, Virginia and on and on and on.
Take your medicine, sit down and shut up.
Iowa's strength of schedule is 12th in the country.
How much stupid can you cram into one thread? You must have been soooo pissed Nebraska lost Saturday.
Yeah, being ranked in the top 20 at the end of the season after playing a fairly difficult schedule really sucks.
You were wrong, then were wrong again. Just eat your crow and own up to it like a man.
I wasn’t wrong. I said we had a good chance of losing those three games and finishing 6-6. That was a distinct possibility. The Hawks looked horrible for most of the Wisconsin game.
You were wrong about how we finished the season and you were wrong about us playing a weak schedule.
It's okay to be wrong once in a while, but being really wrong and not owning up to it is a terrible look, even for you.
Saying we had “a good chance” is not being wrong.
Saying we had a weak schedule isn’t wrong either. Everyone knows the SEC would chew up most of our so called high end teams. We played no one in the non conference as well.
I know you're used to being average and content. Just dont be mad at the rest of us for not drinking the kool aid.
Sorry but you were wrong ... we had a good chance of winning 2 of the 3 games. Furthermore, our D was put together to be able to throw out the balance of Minnesota's attack. That we won all three was nice ... but far from unexpected.
define good chance?
I guess if being a favorite equals a good chance of losing
if we are 50/50 odds in all games(much better odds for 2 of them in reality) we would have a 12% chance of losing all 3. In reality, it was much lower than 12% btw
Average? Drinking kool-aide? At 9-3, #17 in the country after the regular season? Get a grip, man, admit you were wrong, and enjoy life a little!
All the metrics say we didn't have a weak schedule. It's 2019, man, you can't just make stuff up and not expect to be called on it anymore.
And the SEC would chew us up, just like Mississippi State did last year, right? Lol.
Being ranked in the top 20 after playing a difficult schedule is not average. Quit being such a fvcking loser, you're embarrassing yourself more than normal.
Wow...you’re very angry. Take a deep breath. I don’t want you to stroke out.
The Hawks lost all three games that mattered this year.
You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
It’s ok to admit you were wrong. People would actually have more respect for you.
So wrong you are. If Iowa had gone 6-6, you would have claimed you were right. But now that your are wrong, you are claiming that "distinct possibility" doesn't mean you were predicting 3 losses. Most of us beg to differ on your thoughts.
this didn't age well!!!
He's gotta maintain his internet persona as a pessimistic fan. His schtick on HROT is to be the contrarian, so he has to carry it over to the sports forums as well, or he wouldn't be "NorthernHawkeye".
It's very important stuff.
bitter much? mad because we won the last 3?? really??
Rude comments like this prove 2 things ....first proves he knows he's wrong and wont admit it! And 2 proves he's not mentally capable of dealing with reality!
So? You and I both know it was their Super Bowl and they would give their left but to beat Iowa.
Im not even reading what I missed but I am guessing someone mentioned that Iowa had an easy schedule (but was top 10 according to a few sites I listed in another thread). I am guessing someone mentioned that we lost the "only games that matter" despite a top 10 win at home, beating a team that was in the top 25 (with Gameday, two rain delays, on the road at the team that hates us more than any other), two other wins against bowl teams, a team in total desperation mode on the road to be bowl eligible.
Did I win?
Did I win?
We lost 3 of the 12 games that mattered. Ok, so we were eliminated from West Division consideration before playing Illinois and Nebraska, so maybe we were 7-3 in games that “mattered”, but I’m pretty sure beating Illini and Huskers matters to recruiting, etc.
I predicted 7-5 at the beginning of the year. I’m so happy I was wrong. 9-3 is great be me. You are what your record says you are... 9-3 and #17
You’ve been owned in this thread...just give it up. Facts refute your opinion.
And we had a good chance of winning all three we lost so what's your point? Were you expecting 12-1 this year? 9-3 with that schedule is something to be pleased with.
46 wins in the last 5 years puts us in the top 10 of power 5 teams so what's with the whining? Texas, USC, Florida, Florida State and many other big programs didn't accomplish that yet Iowa fans are going to complain. Lol. Go back to the OT board and look like a fool there where you belong.

Looked at the first post and all those that "liked" it. Wasn't surprised by what I found.
Iowa comes in at #16 in Sagarin ratings. SOS was #35 in the country, which is better than over half the teams ahead of us in the Top 15. You're not very smart, and that is putting it nicely.

So... Hawks go 3-9 with wins over Wisc, Michigan, and PSU and you're happy?
JFC, you're a mouth-breather.
