After 4 - What's the season Record?

[NCHawker]

I'm going to say 6 or 7 wins at this level of play.

What say you?

 

[tksirius]

8 wins max. Probably 5 or 6 wins. Prove me wrong, Kirk! Please.

 

[SpiderRico]

The avg KF year...7-5

We'll lose Wisc, Mich, PSU and Minn and win Purdue, Illinois, NW, and Nebby (only because no matter how pi$$ed I am at our play, I'll never predict a Nebby win).

 

[clim3]

7 wins and a bowl in Texas

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Based on the last 2 weeks....Going with 7. If we can get the next 2, stay healthy, and improve...8. Before the season, I thought 9+ would be a good year, less than 8 a dissappointing season.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Win the next 2...and who knows.

It seems we are right back where we were at the end of the 2014 season. What was Barta thinking? Frustrated fans are going to start barking pretty quickly. I don't think the 2015 season gave Barta/KF as much equity as they think.

 

[DBAHawkFan]

We'll get 6-7

And we're just Iowa. It's unreasonable to expect anything other than 7 wins. Enjoy the once and a lifetime seasons!!

 

[Xerxes]

Iowa is just too hard for me to predict. The play such tight conference games with so little margin of error. They can all go either way. If you twist my arm, I'll go 8-4 overall.

Of course it didn't give them the equity they thought. We had just concluded a pathetic 5 year run since the last 10 yr extension (which included an overall losing B1G record, an epic season meltdown in 2010, a losing year in 2012, losses to 2 MAC teams, and only 1 bowl win). One year, without a conference championship or bowl win, wasn't going to do a whole helluva lot to move that needle.

That's my whole point. Why would Barta just give up his leverage like that? KF wasn't going anywhere.

Because he's a typical gov't lifer employee who has no real world business sense. He was playing checkers while Cornrich was playing chess...

 

[HawksMN]

Win the next 2...and who knows.

Next two are completely winnable against mediocre MN and NW teams. Also, completely losable too.

 

[NCHawker]

jNW looks pretty good tonight....much better than Iowa has looked in 3 of 4 games

They should be up at least 7. Davis-esque red zone playcalling and no kicking game.

 

[Mrke1]

People predicting 7 wins here. Look at the schedule and tell me your 4. I'll even do you a favor and type out 3 of them.

1. Northwestern
2. Purdue
3. Illinois
4. ??

 

[TwinCitiesHawk]

This year will be just like 09. Bank it. The only difference so far is ndsu hit the field goal that uni couldn't.

I wouldn't favor either Minnesota or Penn State by much, if at all.

 

[mrolympia]

5-7

 

[Joshbrown]

The only thing I care about is getting to 7 wins. Cuz then the buyout gets upped to 100%. 8 years into our 21st century depression, I'm worried about a certain families ability to handle the emotional and financial stress of an unfair world. I don't want to see them have to squeeze into the HUD housing Brian has to endure.
