How many more times do we have to see Iowa lose to Northwestern before people wake up and realize Fitz is a better coach than Ferentz?
I don't need to see it any more. Fitz "quietly" wins ten games, then proceeds to maybe make it to the BoneG championship game this year.
In 2010, you said that Fitz did it with materially inferior facilities. Now, that's not even true. They have amazing training facilities (better than ours), win more games, and may well recruit better than us in the coming years. That, and they are an amazing academic institution.
Is Fitz good, heck yeah.
Most Iowa fans really continue with the "jNW" and "purdont" stuff...but we need to wake up. Those teams are better than us, as is Wisconsin. Is Nebby going to be bad forever? NW, PU, and UW all beat us now two years in a row.
I think Iowa will be pretty good next year, but the reality is that ISU, Nebby, NU, Wisky, Purdue, and maybe even Minny will be tough outs for us in the future. Hell, they are now.
Iowa needs to be damn good next year. They have some athletes. Recruiting has improved. If they don't compete for the division in the next few years, they may be passed and not recover for many years.
