I wouldn't call it a season to remember. I'd call it getting back on the right track.

Iowa never has been a program that averages 9 wins a year, so let's not get crazy here

I agree. We beat OSU or MSU and Wisky it could have been a season to remember.

When we look back, we'll all remember this season and these seniors as the turning point in Ferentz 3.0. They could have laid down and died (like some posters here were hoping), but showed grit and resiliance and determination to right the ship and get us pointed back in the right direction...

Re-builders take a downtrodden program and right the ship. (Check, KF)
If the program slips again, few get the opportunity to right the ship, again. (Check, KF)
Almost unheard of (I have no examples) of a coach getting a 3rd opportunity to right the ship in the same tenure. KF might just be the first.

I remember every season. I remember last season, too.

Point out where he's wrong, or I'm going to assume you had a funny pop up ad come up on your screen.
Show me where this is a great or even good season yet. Just another in the long line of Ferentz mediocrity.

Nowhere, in any of that, is a suggestion that this has been a great season. He said this year's seniors, instead of rolling over and dying, have managed to get things pointed in the right direction again.
1. If you couldn't glean that from a pretty well spelled-out post, you're either a troll or suck massively at reading comprehension.
2. If you can't see that his point is valid, then you really are clueless.

People complaining just to complain. Barry Alvarez, Bill Snyder, and Pat Hill. There are three and I spent 2 minutes thinking about it.

If Iowa wins Friday I think it will be.

I'll remember this season win or lose next week. Hawkeyes have already exceeded most expectations, and there are some true hawkeyes on this team that deserve to be remembered for coming back from last year.

Mediocrity compared to the perennial top 15 finishes we expect in our storied 100+ year history? Its a good season given what the expectations were.

Alvarez's Wisconsin teams didn't struggle all that much to have success once he reached the top. They dropped off for a couple years after winning his first Rose Bowl, but they didn't drop off significantly again once he built it back up the second time.
Snyder didn't rebuild KSU multiple times in the same tenure, so his comparison also doesn't fit.
Pat Hill never had back-to-back bad/sub-par years (7 wins or less) after building up Fresno State.
