I was impressed with their execution vs NW (garbage or not). I'm being totally honest, I was extremely curious to see how they would perform vs Purdue, and I was hopeful. The offense is still pretty bad (it was also bad last year with 10 wins). Having said that, and assuming you've...

Minny's defense is certainly very good, but I have the feeling that Iowa struggles more with Wisky's attacking, confusing style of defense than it does with Minnesota. I could be wrong, but Wisky's defense gives us fits every year. I went to the game in Camp Randall right after Iowa beat...

This is fun.

This is aging like stinky Wisconsin cheese.

Beating our West Division rivals and traditional rivals will always be important. I'm not sure what you consider "irrelevant" wins if you're a program like Iowa, but beating Wisky, Minny, NW, PU, ILL, Nebby, and ISU are incredibly relevant. Were you aware that Iowa won 10 games last year?

:) At the risk of being a total homer and getting flamed by the negative nellies on this board, I think the hawks have the potential to be quite good the next few years, based on improved recruiting. The offense is still quite young as well.

I've seen SO many losses to Purdue over the years, in Kinnick and Ross Ade. It's easy to forget how great a program they have been through the years. Plus, they've owned us lately. I'm really glad we broke their train. I'm traveling from California on Friday to see the hawks play in (for...

Great point. I think that it was a really bad combo of a young line with people possibly playing in the wrong spots, having a severely depleted WR group, and a very limited QB. Are we getting Johnson back next year? He was our best receiver. My unbridled "hawktimism" is showing, and I...

I agree that it shouldn't take until November, and have always thought that. That's definitely a long term issue.

This is spot on. Two unfortunate losses to ISU and Ill. Ill is pretty good. Iowa had zero offensive cohesion earlier in the season. And.... Michigan and OSU are really top notch teams. Bad combo. But... now we get to play teams that are solid (Wisc, Minn) but beatable. Personally, I...

Historically Iowa always looks a lot better in November. This young line is making improvements, and it's probably because they are in the right spots now and developing as a group (and not playing Ohio State). All of the coaching helps, for sure, and KF knows about lines. I doubt his yelling...

I hate the Badgers more than any other team in existence, at any level. Does that answer assist you in your understanding of my position?

Oh I agree Petras should be left out, but usually posters blame both BF and Petras for virtually everything. Glad you're not also blaming Petras. I certainly am not. He played quite well on Saturday, to be honest. How do you know "dad" cured everything in the past few weeks, and what their...

Probably. Having said that, I think Purdue has beaten Iowa 4 of the last 5 times. I can't think of a more complete Iowa game in recent memory. Purdue may be flaky but they have some talent.

If they win out? NO. I realize that my comment will draw the ire of the angry internet warriors, but shit, I was really impressed on Saturday. I guess it will be interesting to look at the progression (or lack thereof) in the coming weeks, but I'm impressed. What if, next year, they...

Thanks for sharing your beliefs. Do you think it's possible that this line, with four underclassmen, is finally getting their shit together? No, the narrative must be about BF and Petras... I'm no BF fan, but what do you think about the play calling in the game on Saturday? I thought it was...

Have you recovered from your chills? Go HAWKS.

I think the Minny game will be very close. Your certainty amuses me.

This is great news.
