(cue the Twilight Zone theme) Gather round children cuz creepy uncle Josh is going to tell you a campfire Horror story

**************************************************​

2009 - Iowa to a BCS bowl game after a record setting win-streak to start the season

2010 - Iowa returns their star QB and their superstar on defense who decided to forgo the NFL draft (Clayborn). Iowa is ranked in the pre-season.

Iowa puts together a nice recruiting class including an elite out-of-state RB named Melvin Gordon. October 23rd Iowa plays Wisky (loses) and shortly after loses Gordon. Iowa also loses one game in the OOC and loses to Northwestern during conference play.

[fast forward]

2015 - Iowa to a BCS bowl game after a record setting win-streak to start the season

2016 - Iowa returns their star QB and their superstar on defense who decided to forgo the NFL draft (King). Iowa is ranked in the pre-season.

Iowa puts together a nice recruiting class including an elite out-of-state RB named Eno Benjamin. October 22nd Iowa plays Wisky (loses) and shortly after loses Benjamin. Iowa also loses one game in the OOC and loses to Northwestern during conference play.

definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

And the cherry on top of the cake.

2010 = 8-5

2016 = 8-5

Will 2017 be a repeat of 2011?

If so will 2018 be a repeat of 2012?

Geez. Was I ever fooled. Uncle Josh is an artificial and very stinky fish bait made in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Of course, I don't know Josh personally...

And the cherry on top of the cake.

2010 = 8-5

2016 = 8-5

Will 2017 be a repeat of 2011?

If so will 2018 be a repeat of 2012?

2012 had better never happen again. 4-8! Losses to Central Michigan, ISU, Purdue and Indiana....puke!

Least that means we'll be in a BCS game in 2021. Think I'd take that actually.

Yup, the math checks out

2002 season -Orange Bowl
2009 season - Orange Bowl
2015 season - Rose Bowl
2021 or 2022 season - ?

ONLY This time IN 2021/2022, I think KF will finally retire, does that break the cycle?

I predicted 2016 would be Stoops last season
I predicted 2 running backs over 1,000 yards in 2016
I predicted 2017 would be Biels last season
I predicted 8 Hawkeye wins in 2016
I predicted 7 Hawkeye wins in 2017

all I got to say is . . .

2009 BCS bowl
