This is jumping the gun a bit. It was just a win over Minnesota. Beating Michigan State opens possibilities. Not Minnesota.

Beating Minnesota on the road in a rivalry game > Beating a down MSU team at home

Slow down. The make or break portion of the schedule is coming up over the next 4 games. If Iowa can split them or go 3-1, then we can talk about it.

Michigan State's offense is a total joke. I wouldn't be surprised if they failed to score against us. Completely serious.

I'm smiling here...
Randel El is going to be tough to deal with as well when Iowa goes head to head with Indiana. He has been a Hawkeye killer over the years.
PSU's combo of Kerry Collins and Ki-Jana Carter also could do damage against Iowa's defense. Hopefully Station, Hanks, and Sanders come to play.

I will be very happy just going to a bowl. Conference Title, IMO that is crazy talk.
Please post links of where the op was extremely negative to prove he's bipolar.

Correction: it took a late turnover to lose to a good MAC team (who just dismantled a B1G team), and they completely dominated an FCS team; the scoreboard is no indication of that game.
To the OP, we are currently 1-0 in the conference. A conference title is not out of the question. The legends is fairly wide open, at this point.

Michigan St. played Western Michigan and only beat them by 13. Iowa beat them by 56. Advantage Iowa.
Michigan St. is averaging 1.7 points per game better on defense, but Iowa is 4 points better per game on offense. Advantage Iowa.
Michigan St's QB is both inaccurate and cannot run. Our QB is none of those things. Advantage Iowa.
Iowa beats MSU by 13+. Fact.

Exactly. I don't know why everyone is gearing up for Michigan State like they're Alabama. We learned more from last weekend than we will after we beat MSU. Fact.
And to respond to another post, I'm not bipolar. I've never called for Kirk Ferentz to be fired. I think we're far from a perfect team, but I generally try to be optimistic about the state of things and our future. Fact is, the Big Ten is very winnable and equitable this year...Purdue/Indiana/Illinois are terrible as usual, Nebraska/Michigan/Wisconsin/Michigan State/PSU are decent but have shown their vulnerabilities, Minnesota/Iowa/Northwestern have all played fairly well so far, but are definitely beatable and largely untested. About the only dominant team this year is OSU, and they're far from perfect. They're really the only huge obstacle in anyone's way.

didn't say you were bud, but this fanbase is. the thread titles after wins and losses are almost comical in their extremes. and this is coming from a guy who asked to be banned.

I'll agree to that. I've been reading this board for a couple years, but couldn't bring myself to become a poster because people totally flip out early in the season after we lose to Moo U. Now that we've gotten that monkey off my back, I decided to join since it's seemed a little less kooky around here lately.

people on here really are crazy. Jon got rid of a few of the crazies, but there are still some of us hanging around.
FTFY.
With all due respect, I'm getting tired of people getting carried away with that WM vs MSU compared to WM vs IA score, and overlooking the Corey Davis injury. Not that his presence would have made that much difference anyway for real, but, just sayn.
