What I want for Christmas/Thanksgiving 2021?

HB King
Iowa at 10-2.



It will not be easy in Week 13.

My Nebraska family definitely are hungry for a win. Our nephew has been quiet, but he wasn't during the 2019 game. We are headed over for Thanksgiving, again like 2019.

Iowa is 6-2 in the Big Ten, and 7-2 would be a game better than last year. Ultimately, that was my prediction for 2021, Hawks to finish a game better than last season.



Can Michigan hang with Ohio State on Saturday?

Does Minnesota have anything to play for, if Iowa can get to 7-2?

We have noticed some odd reactions in 2021 around College Football.

Not too surprising to see the 7 year itch back, to a higher level, than 2014. Yep.

A higher level, since fans aren't too happy with a 9-2 record right now. Let's not forget Iowa was tagged as a 8.5 W/L team by the books and Wisconsin was basically the goto team for winning the Big Ten West for 2021.

The Hawks had plenty of questions on both sides of the line of scrimmage and with quarterback play for 2021.

Purdue should beat Indiana, who turned out to be awful under Tom Allen this season. Of course, some credit could be given to the Hawkeyes for our undressing of the Hoosiers in the season opener, right?

The Hoosier fans didn't think much of Iowa. Most of the nation didn't, after climbing to a 6-0 start and #2 nationally.

Who had we really played and beat?

Penn State is 12-10, under James Franklin, since 2020. The Hawkeyes offense, over reliance on turnovers.

Iowa's biggest question is on Black Friday. Can the Hawks avoid not having a winning season in trophy games?

The Hawks have checked a lot of boxes this season, in how many goals should be set. What went on in Ames last week?

Iowa State is 6-5. Do they finish .500?

Winning records, in trophy games is one of goals for the Hawks, yet to be accomplished.

Here's to Friday on FS1 on Black Friday.



Wait, Nebraska is now the favorite two years later. Proof Scott Frost is making progress in Lincoln.



15 is a hard number to reach. It would be very rare. Hayden Fry did reach it in the CyHawk series alone.

On Iowa!
