Fill in the blank: This time next week, we'll be talking about ______

[HuckFinn]

If a loss: total meltdown. If a win: means nothing, should have been more dominant.

 

[Motigerhawk]

If we lose to Ill St. I will be afraid to show my face at work. I will get killed by everybody.

We better not lose.

 

[HomerChampless]

What, you work at a pizza parlor and are giving away free pizzas if Iowa wins?

 

[Hawknick]

How badly Iowa will beat the clowns!

 

[HawkeyeBriGuy]

How much more fun CJB will be to watch this season rather than Jake Rudock.

 

[HawksMN]

How Iowa's offense couldn't move the ball versus an FCS defense.

I could see this easily. Hawks will assuredly look flat like usual.

 

[hawkfan1319]

How effective crowd funding will be to raise money to afford the buyout.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

At least we graduate our players and do it the right way.

 

[Seth53]

Shaking off a home loss to an FCS team, cleaning up a few things and the ISU game.

 

[Camhawk]

CJB airing it out and Davis Jr plowing through Ill St defenders... and how this will carry over to an ISU beatdown!!

 

[DJL]

How the Cubs have a chance to make the playoffs so at least most Midwest fans have something to be interested in for the next month in half?

Seriously though, we may drag out some "Who will be Iowa's next coach threads".

For the record, Iowa has had a better off season recruiting, so I hope KF and friends continue to prove me wrong during the season.

 

[InGoodCo]

How the Hawks are probably gonna win the National Title.

We Midwest fans almost always have something to be interested in october, the cards almost always make the playoffs

 

[Camhawk]

How the Hawks are probably gonna win the National Title.

 

[Hawknick]

How the Hawks are probably gonna win the National Title.

I was thinking about this too. To improve the strength of schedule enough to make the 4 team play off Iowa may need Illinois State to win out, or some close to it after their loss to Iowa. That combined with a win over o$u in the Big 10 championship game should be of great benefit. Pittsburgh might also have a decent season outside of their loss to Iowa.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

How Goldie is still as good as everyone thought, just doesn't have the line Jake had, has been ruined by derp Davis, and just hasn't had the time yet, etc etc etc.

 

[Travisam]

You do know that those excuses you're joking about are all valid right?

 

[ibahawkeye]

1 positive, 1 negative

Josey Jewell- He was injured some last year but I think he has the physical ability to be a good LB
CJB- Offense will still struggle and CJ may be a slight improvement over Jake, but not much.

 

[1977Hawkeye]

If Iowa wins: How an undefeated season is still possible
If Iowa loses: KF must be fired immediately!!!

There's little middle ground on message boards.
