I will stick by my last post prior to the game of 9-3 with losses to Michigan and Ohio State. Would not be shocked to also lose to Wisconsin. "Wait til next year"

Possible, but not likely, especially given the level of play. I stay with my prior prediction of two more losses. If special teams continue to play like Special Olympics, more than that.

By the way, it isn't the end of the world, but your optimism isn't well-received. It hasn't been a 10-year-climb. You apparently forgot 2002 when we had a great team and choked early against Iowa State otherwise may have play. ed Miami for the national championship. That early loss proved to...

Don't give up your day job as a prognosticator.

My head was right. All of you and my stomach were wrong. Great choke Hawks. Only positive was that most of the country missed it because of the time. "Wait til' next year."

There are many many middle fingers the team deserves after that performance. Thanks for the optimism after the choke on national tv. Let me guess, wait until next year. See you at the Outback Bowl.

The Hawks were "special" as in "Special Olympics." See you in Tampa for the Outback Bowl.

Although I expected and predicted this choke, I don't see the point in your optimism or excuses under the guise of "keep in perspective." The only analysis is that we had everything on the line with an overall veteran team and absolutely blew the game. The only positive was the game was so...

First, predictions mean less than nothing which is why I hate the prognosticators such as Lee Corso. One thing we know is that anything can happen in college football. That being said my head tells me Arizona, Ohio State and Michigan are losses by 7 to 10 points, each. My gut says otherwise...

Your point is well taken about the subjective aspects of getting to a bowl game. With all due respect, I think you might be a bit unrealistic about chances for a National Championship, at least at this point. We would cross that road IF and when we get even close. At this point, all this...

My prediction is we will STILL have some out-of-touch fans talking about Iowa winning the National Championship if Iowa falls.

No offense to you, but who really cares what any self-proclaimed "expert" thinks at this point in the season? If there is one thing for certain in college football, it is that the "experts" such as Lee Corso, etc. prognosticate largely based upon how teams did the year prior. We will know...

Agree. It is going to look no different than any other game. Partly because scalpers won't know which section they are in until it is too late and partly because many fans are too oblivious to actually look at their seat ahead of time and plan accordingly. I was at the Black out game and...

Then I assume you also do not care about the Heisman which is even more of an unfair popularity contest almost always given to the QB or RB with the best stats on a top 5 team. To take a recent example, Shonn Greene and C.J. Spiller never got a sniff of the trophy only because neither played...

He certainly looked good as did the receivers, o-line and entire defense. Will see how things play out, but I don't see Iowa being able to beat this team.

Unfortunately, Notre Dame won't be joining the Big Ten so you might as well stop speculating. They have just added 6 games with BYU and have recently scheduled in the future Texas and Miami (FL). Given the Pac 10's failure to expand other than Colorado, they will still keep Stanford and USC in...

By the way, we are "The University of Iowa" so it is "U of I" or "UI", NOT "IU." IU would be, for example, "Indiana University."
