teachercd Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 That is not worse than I thought... Iowa LIVED off of lame a$$ schedules, fake "requirements" about having to play UNI and ISU and tons of luck in the insane Big Ten scheduling which literally made ZERO sense and they still have a hard time averaging 7.5 wins a season. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 At an open practice Saturday at Kinnick Stadium, Brendan Sullivan thoroughly outplayed Cade McNamara so clearly that coach Kirk Ferentz and new offensive coordinator Tim Lester must reconsider their pecking order. It’s not that Sullivan, who arrived in June from Northwestern, was special; he completed 10 of 21 passes for 76 yards with a pair of drops. It was that McNamara struggled to the point where Iowa cannot go down this path again. McNamara, a sixth-year senior, completed just 8 of 24 passes for 20 yards and threw an interception that was returned for a score by free safety Quinn Schulte. McNamara looked unsure, indecisive and inaccurate. Outside of two out-routes, every completion was either a swing, a checkdown or a hitch. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm going to keep responding to you until you stop with this. Over the last 10 full seasons, Iowa has averaged 9 wins, including 3 10 win years and even a 12 win year. Say what you want about the scheduling, but it's not really their fault the B1G west was a terrible division. They at least could beat those teams, we sure couldn't. Get a new schtick dude, come on. At least pay more attention before you run your mouth. 3 Quote Link to comment

At least pay more attention before you run your mouth. Why are you bringing up the West division? Obviously we are in the same division as Iowa, so the topic is their non-con and East opponents. Iowa has played the 3 s#!ttiest teams 4 times more often than we have, and the best team overall (OSU) 4 times fewer than we have. Wisconsin has had some really easy schedules at times too. My guess is this wasn’t random despite whatever they claim. But I doubt it was an anti-Nebraska thing and more of a let’s support our best original member (OSU) thing and give them Nebraska more than give them Iowa. Iowa has played PSU more than we have and they’ve lost almost every time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Iowa plays lame a$$ teams, year in and year out, and most of the time has a hard time even beating them, most of their games are one score type games. Fans of teams that have real expectations would have demanded a coaching change years ago, I once again give you Bo. 2 Quote Link to comment

What their HC has done to their athletic department is criminal. The way he treats his fans and media is lame. They never win big games, they never win the conference and do they ever even play a ranked team in the non-con? I never really know who they are playing each week, but once Saturday comes, it seems like they are always playing Illinois or Indiana. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

They simply have beaten the teams on their schedule and they've been better than us. We've both lost to the best teams in the conference, agreed. I brought up the West because they consistently beat those teams, and we can't. You can't talk about the differences in schedule without also talking about results in common games. It's not some love fest with some Husker fans for Iowa, it's simply me trying to point out that they are 1. Better than you give them credit for, and 2. Better than Nebraska for a decade now. I don't care if they don't meet your expectations, neither does Nebraska ever, and they are better than we are. We are in the Iowa thread after all. 1 Quote Link to comment

Kirk created a culture of zero expectations and then he meets them. He would have been canned years ago at any other school that actually had expectations. In the two seasons they are 1-1 vs NU with one game being a "pick the score" game by NU where Iowa pretended their QB got hurt so they could put in the backup and Kirk could take heat off his kid AND they faked a head injury to that kid that Trey Palmer was abusing. Go hawks! 1 Quote Link to comment
