Wow. And ISU fans complain about their "tough schedule."

(***Disclaimer*** Ball State does not count as an opponent)
 








As of right now it looks tough but by the end of the year I don't think Penn State will be ranked and Mich will stay in the 20's
 


And there is a good chance Michigan St will be ranked when we face them. Also although I know you intentionally skipped Ball St, we will need a nice layup prior to the start of the Big Ten season. Ball St just lost to FCS power Liberty last night. Iowa can name the score in that game.

I agree. I like the Ball St game in there too. It will be nice to get back home after the long trip to AZ (hopefully with a W) and have a name the score kind of game to tune up for the Big Ten. Then the schedule actually lays out nicely with PSU being a night game, then having the bye week to get ready for the Denard Robinson machine before coming back home to take on Wisconsin and Michigan State. Here is to running the table! :)

Well then ideally it'll give the Hawks a chance to get healthy and gives some guys some rest if they need it. It's amazing how nicely the schedule sets up this year. Bye week at the perfect time, all the big games kind of spread out, etc...

Haha, OK.

I am a fan. I have no bearing on the outcome of any game. And I am sure that a Ball State team that just got beat by Liberty won't really give us a contest. It is not like I am "overlooking" Penn State.

If the Cardinals can't stop SirChauncey Holloway, what makes you think they can stop A-Rob and Jewel... ;)
 




I agree that we got some challenges coming up, but don't understand why you put ISU's tough schedule in quotation marks...the way it reads you are mocking their fans for saying they have a tough schedule....I would say four top ten teams (including TX/OK back to back) and a ranked Utah squad make for a pretty sound argument no? Again, we have a tough schedule this year, but don't be that guy who tries to demean everyone else to attempt to make a point. Your OP would have been a fine topic without being that guy!

Thanks for scolding me. I will go to timeout now.
