Iowa Sweeps Northwestern and PSU - no biggie right?

[storminspank]

It's been a decade (2003) since Iowa has swept Northwestern and Penn State in the same season, though.

It is a step in the right direction.

Beating the teams you're supposed to is a good start.

Bingo.
And to be fair, there were a couple pretty good teams at PSU in the mid-late 2000s

Swept Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan last year.

This was definitely an "everything to lose" game.

We didn't and thus, are still standing in line to purchase tickets to the dance.

Go ahead and get your tuxes and prom dresses boyz and girlz, but, be sure to keep the receipt for a hassle free return if not invited.

Wisconsin and Minnesota last year, Big Deal.....

Northwestern and Penn State: Enormous

Swept Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan last year.

Michigan wasn't a sweep.

The problem with last years team was not beating the teams they were supposed to.

It's amazing how much "on s cript" Iowa is playing in regards to W/L this year.
Haven't seen a season like this in a long time. Winning the ones they are supposed to, losing to those expecting to.

Iowa needs to get a win they aren't supposed to before the end of the year, though.

Sunday appears to be a good time to do this.

Oh, so the program fell off when Alford left? I hadn't noticed.

Iowa lost to Michigan last year? Link? Video?

A sweep usually isn't observed with just one game played.
Winning home and away in college BB is considered a sweep.

A win at home is a signature win?

IMO, it's another "cannot lose" game.

The game @ IU would rate as a signature win obviously.

Understandable, but is also considered winning every game in a series. Which was one last year. Stupid to argue though, I get the point. Yes, it's great Iowa is beating teams it should. Hopefully that continues vs Nebraska and Purdue then knock off Minny and Illannoy.

Yes it did, and in case you have not noticed the program is on the way back up.

NO TROLLING!

Maybe not signature, but a good win at least.

I never said it was a signature win, it would be a win they are not supposed to win. Most projections I have seen has Iowa losing to Minnesota.
