5 points from the bench and only 2 of those points actually from a field goal.

So Iowa ended our football season with a loss. Are they going to end our basketball season with a loss. 

 

Man I hate Iowa.

I don't hate Iowa, because there is no reason to hate Iowa....

 

In basketball, if Iowa was in position to burst our bubble and keep us out of the dance, then the game Sunday would mean something and would invoke an emotional response. It won't because there is no bubble to break. We are so far off the bubble that, at this point, UNK has about the same chance as we do in terms of making the dance.

 

In football, Iowa didn't win anything by beating Nebraska. Yes, an Iowa team that wasn't going to the conference champ game beat a Nebraska team that had no shot. And yet Iowa celebrated as if they had won something. That's just sad for Iowa. They're satisfied with almost nothing.

 

Now, if there was a scenario where Nebraska went unbeaten in conference play and took on an Iowa team that had one conference loss, then, well that would suck. And if Iowa not only beat Nebraska but then went on to dominate in the conference championship game while DONU limped off to some bowl for an uninspiring matchup against an also-ran team, we would all hate it.

 

IMHO, you develop hate for schools that prevent your school front rising up and doing something great. Those schools end up holding the trophy that you wanted. 

 

Iowa isn't going after trophies anytime soon.

I wonder where we’d be if we had given Danny Nee ten more years?

 

I bet we’d beat Iowa.
