A loss to Minnesota would be more disappointing than a loss to Iowa State

[HawkeyeRyno]

ISU beating Iowa this season wouldn't be as disappointing as a loss to Minnesota. ISU talent level equal to or possibly better than Iowa in first time since 2000. Better team perhaps this year and CPR has program on solid footing.

A loss to Minnesota AGAIN would be far more disappointing. Iowa is more talented than them, it's a conference (divisional) game, trophy game too, it's at Kinnick and Gophers still long way from rebuilding.

Now winning both would obviously be ideal but saw yesterday that Ferentz has NEVER beat NW, Minnesota and ISU in same season. It's time that changes but if history continues then a loss to Minnesota is more disappointing than to ISU.

How about you guys?

I just threw up.

If that's true, then that is pathetic.

But he has had two seasons, 2003 and 2004, where he was undefeated against those three.

Iowa didnt play Nwestern in 03 or 04

Agree to disagree.

Its true.

 

[Garandx]

Its been 18 years since Iowa beat all three of those teams in the same year.

Agree to disagree.

Agree to disagree. Where is Iowa more talented than ISU this year? Tightend I will give you that.

Secondary....and special teams.

And regardless of how they played in the first game, Iowa's OL is far and away more talented than ISU's.

I would honestly call it a push. The Oline who knows the first game doesn't prove much.

Our QB is a far superior bear hunter than yours

The Minnesota game may not be as easy as it looked before season after all. They look like a completely different team than last season.

Yeah because NH would probably win the Big Ten.

Haven't you heard? The clownz already won the BoneG because their 3rd stringers whipped up on mighty Tulsa last weekend in Half Price stadium.

I think it's kind of a push. Falling to 6-8 vs. the instate rival would be inexcusable.

Of course, the stat that you quote is inexcusable.

Get ready for a lot of losses.
