Signature accomplishment for a decade’s worth of football is a B10 West title in a weak year for the division and conference. Nothing more needs to be said. Please explain how that’s not a disaster.

Err...every other decade has at least 1 championship, even if it’s shared. And 2000-2010 had 2 “BCS” appearances (USC and Ga. Tech) with one BCS victory, 2 B10 championships (despite being shared), and an overall better and more meaningful bowl record (Outback wins against Florida, South...

Rob, Iowa’s signature accomplishment in this decade is a lone B10 West title during a year where the division was very weak. While you might disagree, it’s not “extreme” for some people to think that the lack of accomplishment this decade is disastrous. Would Iowa’s decade be disastrous by ISU’s...

My point is that 2015 is over-inflated as a successful season (it didn’t produce anything) and came at an opportune time (I.e. the exact halfway point of the decade) to make this feel like a decent decade of football, when in reality it was disastrous. I’m saying that without 2015 (which was an...

Explained this already. What did 2015 actually result in? Crushing losses in the Indy and Pasadena and 12 wins against mediocre teams. Fits in perfectly with the rest of Iowa’s seasons but the high win count (again, during an astronomically weak season) distorts the data.

Let’s remove the 2015 season for a minute. Without 2015, the combined record since 2010 is 65-45. Given the fact that Iowa schedules 2-3 games against cupcakes per year (over 9 years so far), Iowa has essentially been a .500 team since 2010. While the 2015 season was, I guess, a success, it was...

Lol well. 2 plays and basically in FG range

Miss State 3 games ago? Literally this year?

Why is the Iowa fan base so thin-skinned? I mean, there’s some frustrating stuff that happens, but it’s like, a one possession game lol. Reading this thread you’d think we’re getting blown out by Illinois. Maybe Iowa State is just a solid team, Iowa has some weaknesses, and it’s a tough environment?

My mentality doesn't matter. I'm a fan. Aka a casual observer.

Jesus dude. Sometimes the other team PLAYS WELL. Wisconsin's D has been suffocating. Iowa's been backed up with terrible field position. It can't go right all the time. Sometimes you give the other team props.

I understand this is a different team and a different defense...but...throwing occasionally on first down worked reeeeaaaalllllly well last week.........

I wish ESPN would just ****ing die already. Ak-ROM Wadley, Kirk Frenz, idiotic takes. It's just awful. Not to mention the horrible diversity initiative, cringe-worthy political talk (Michael and Jemele), firing talented people like Chris Hassle to keep Jessica Mendoza, etc... When did their...

Announcers are complete morons. How does an unsportsmanlike conduct hurt North Texas there? Ball goes from the 2 yard line to the 1 yard line.

Will never understand why Kirk is so stubborn. If Alabama's star back gets a dumb penalty, he maybe gets pulled for one series. Then Saban puts him right back in. Probably doesn't miss more than a play if it's a close game. But Kirk would rather have us lose the game to a piss poor opponent...

More Wadley plz. He was burning them in the first half it was obvious. who gives a shit if he got a BS penalty called on him

well, it was just my natural reaction watching it live. so just my intuition? But it definitely shouldn't have been flagged.

correct rule as in the right call according to the official rules. not saying I agree with it (in any capacity)

god forbid a college athlete show any emotion whatsoever after scoring a 75 yd breakaway touchdown. sure, maybe it's the "correct rule," but that doesn't mean the officials should be pricks or show zero understanding of the moment.

it's B.S. that you can't high step into the endzone lmao
