After 2 games....what say you now?

Who gives a shit about bowl games. Meaningless

I hear what you are saying. But to recruits, they matter.

About what I expected so far, so no change to my thinking, I guess. Get back to me when the Hawks are playing someone besides ISU and directional schools, and we'll see how it looks. I'm sticking to a 7-5'ish prediction until I have a reason to think it'll be much different.

Hey man, pass me that roach clip......just playin.....Iowa 9-3....I love the young kids and what they're bringing. Stanley, very impressive so far. Our backs will get better and so will our line. Defense? A little concerning. Too many passing yards, but well get that fixed. Need to stay healthy on bith sides of the ball.

Wasn't it just two seasons ago when we had a lot of question marks about players that ClintonIAFan predicted we'd go undefeated in the regular season? He even included a game-by-game breakdown and scores and it turned out he was only wildly off on one game; every other game his prediction was either very close or spot on.

I'm not saying Iowa WILL go undefeated. But so far...

I've been bullish on this team for most of the Summer and that is not going to change. The secondary was exposed against ISU but I am hopeful that is growing pains. Far less concerned about other aspects. Go Hawks!

Likelihood of win best to worst

1. North Texas - yeah
2. Illinois - some defense, but an ugly team. Last week's game was unwatchable
3. Purdue - improving, could be the upset loss this year
4. Minnesota - a work in progress, winning @ Oregon St is a lot like @ ISU without the rivalry
5. Northwestern - they'll improve and we're on the road
6. Nebraska - same as above
7. Wisconsin - tough and @ Camp Randall
8. Ohio St - Oklahoma is a playoff team and tOSU has talent. Still, this could be 2017's big upset at Kinnick.
9. Penn St - I don't see us winning this one. We'll play them tougher at home, but...

BTW, "history" says Purdue will upset us. I read that Kirk has lost to double digit underdogs 12 times since 2006, basically once a year. Ouch.

Hard to look at Northwestern as an away game. I was up there two years ago and actually felt sorry for their players.
Far more hawk fans in the stands.

They chose to go there knowing the kind of fan support they would get, so no feeling sorry for them.

 

[judzeehawk]

I am still predicting 12-0.

Lol Hang in there ClintoIAfan. It sure would be sweet!

 

[mrolympia]

after 2 and that awful half this team isn't good. Offensive line play is sub par, defense can't defend anything.

 

[NCHawker]

tick tock the thread is locked.

I predict this team will be very boring and if they make a bowl game they will get their stuff handed to them
