I'm on the same page with all of this. If you told me after the PSU game that a 9 win season was even possible, I would have taken it. Our offense is setting back the sport of football 20 years.

Not to pick a fight with this poster - but this confirms what I said in a different thread.

Kirk finds a way to convince everyone that we will probably only win 5/6 games during the season. Then when we win 7/8 it feels like 11/12. It's why he needs to go. He's a svengali. (look it up)

I felt this way after getting bent over by PSU. Not at the beginning of the season. Less than 10 wins is a disappointment with this schedule and the core of players that returned from a 12 win team.

My feeling is the goal of the Iowa football program is to finish ranked at least as often as Fry was. He did it 50% of the time. KF does it 33% of the time. If we don't finish ranked this year then the coach gets a "D" or an "F" imo.

Gut is telling me Iowa win Friday and Holiday Bowl berth.

This year, you have Minnesota, which has the appeal of Kent "Flounder" Dorfman.
Yes, his Dad was a Delta House legend and his forefathers were legendary in the 1920s and 1930s, but, today, they only bring 2,000 fans to bowl games.

The Holiday Bowl will probably get Iowa, as enough snowbirds in the area will make the Bowl Committee happy.
The Music City Bowl has a bowl eligible Kentucky team, who will bring 40k to Nashville.
They'll accept Minnesota, as Kentucky fans will make them more than happy.

As long as Hawks record is comparable to MN's, Iowa will get a better bowl bid 99 times out of 100.
MN has got to be the worst 8-3 team I can think of. Ill take WI to curb stomp them this weekend.

If Iowa beats Nebraska there is a 100% chance they go to the holiday bowl.

I'll still somewhat bemoan what might have been with the winnable games against NDSU and NW. But we also stole one against Mich that we maybe shouldn't have. All in all, I can't be too upset with a 9 win season and a bowl game win over a P5 school.....

I don't look as the Michigan game as stole. Our defense was on. Physical game and we got the best of them. That says something. We may be the Baltimore Ravens of the Big Ten but we won it with hard hitting smothering defense. Not luck on that side of the ball.

I wasn't saying "stole" to infer that we lucked into the win or that we didn't deserve it. It was more along the lines of recognizing that it's not every year that we beat a top 5 team.....
