Final 3 games

I think I heard Jon say on his podcast and others comment that we will most likely go 2-1 over the final three games. I am wondering what all of you think about the final 3 games. I, for one, think at best we can go 1-2. Based on last week I think this week is no lock especially with bad weather forecast. When it's windy Jake puckers up and can't audible into a run fast enough and if he's audibiling to Wiesman that is never a productive thing. And for us to think we are going to split either Nebby or Wisky is nuts. What have we done at all this year to think we can chip off a top 25 team? On top of that they are both teams with far superior running games to anything we have seen this year and we can't stop the run. I honestly see a better chance of going 0-3 than going 2-1 and that would not only be alarming but perhaps just what we need to help usher Kirk out the door.
 
I've watched more than just the game last week.

So my optimism still remains.
 
I'm not to optimistic about how this will play out....and as others have posted, I'm not all that emotionally invested anymore as to how it plays out. That said, our season this year has been...poor play, followed by heavy fan criticism, followed (for a qtr or so anyway) by original and optimistic game planning with improved results, falling back into poor play, and repeating the loop.

This week falls into the optimistic category so I'm thinking the Hawks play well and win....hence, next week they get slapped around, and again it's a toss up for nebby, leaning to a possible "head scratcher" win....for now I'll say 2-1, but it could easily be 1-2 or even 0-3. Frankly, regardless of the results, it looms to me as a very disappointing, apathetical, forgetful season, with nothing to be excited for week in and week out, nor bowl wise, nor for the foreseeable future.

Just start out and get that first W on Sat at Ill?
 
2-1

Beat Illinois....split wisky/nebby leaning toward beating wisky and losing to nebby.
 
Of course I want Iowa to win out but my gut tells me they'll to 1-2. Iowa needs to get that mojo back they had against Northwestern. If they play like that the rest of the way they can certainly win out. The problem is if they play like they did against Minnesota they won't win another game the rest of the season. I just don't want to be stuck on 6 wins at the end of the season. That's a terrible record for the type of schedule Iowa had this year.
 
This has been such a roller coaster it's hard to say how we will finish with any confidence. Here is how I would handicap it ...

15% chance we go 3-0
40% chance we go 2-1
35% chance we go 1-2
10% chance we go 0-3

I'm still hopeful ... but those old wooden roller coasters do finish at the bottom of the ride. Let's hope we don't blow our lunch before the rides over.:rolleyes:

I know I sound negative, and I don't want to feel this way, but if the Wisconsin staff watches any film at all, they will understand where to attack Iowa. Melvin Gordon may have 400 yards rushing. We won't change quarterbacks, so there is a 90% chance it will be very frustrating to watch, but a small chance we see the game against NW type of offense. But who knows, it's not a video game *snort*
 
I think Iowa will beat Illinois, lose to Wisconsin, and tossup vs. Nebraska. Guess my official prediction is 1-2, but not ruling out 2-1. I don't see either 0-3 or 3-0.

7-5 or 8-4.

Although nothing to really write home about given the favorable schedule, I could live with 8-4 since that would require at least one win over a ranked opponent.

7-5, and I'll be totally disappointed with this season.

Not as hopeful here:
5% chance of 3-0
30% chance of 2-1
45% chance of 1-2
20% chance of 0-3
 
Gordon is overrated. Iowa has held him to 3.6 yards per carry. He only had 17 carries because he is not durable. Plus this game is at home, and he gets distracted easily by Iowa fans close to the field. Iowa fans this year need to keep on this coward and Iowa rolls past them. Iowa also finised last year 3-0. The team always gets better throughout the year they will pull this off!
