Guys, it is a 100% certainty Iowa will be in a bowl game

Nebraska taught us all something last year when they went to a bowl game with a 5-7 record. Basically, the only way Iowa misses a bowl game is if we have another 2012 season.

So for those folks who like traveling around Christmas time, get ready to take your family somewhere other than Iowa this Holiday season. And take pride in knowing, that our loyal fan base will get us a better bowl than we expect. And Barta Clause . . . I'm sorry, I meant Santa Claus, will be delivering contract bonuses for reaching that bowl game.

I think it's safe to say I just cheered everyone up.:D

I am at a loss for words.
 
We will go 4-8 this year. We beat Purdue, that's our last victory. You can beat Iowa by running up the middle.
 
Who really cares. They will get blown the f**k out like they have the last 5 years anyways.
 
I thought the only reason kNU was considered was because there weren't enough eligible 6 win teams to be selected by all of the bowls? That same scenario isn't guaranteed this year.

This team can still turn things around, but it has to start with the OL and the coaching staff needs to get creative and actively come up with "ways" to allow the OL to succeed. If we just continue to "do what we always do" then turning the season around is harder.

This team cannot turn things around... Besides lack of talent, speed, etc.. There is something wrong, no heart, no fire, nothing. They just lay down.. There are going to be some ugly losses left for us this year.

caddy, I still think it can be turned around. But, it will take this staff thinking outside the box and changing things around and I do find it hard to believe that will happen. This season is at a cross roads. We need to pull out all of the stops. Start using CJ and read option. Start rolling the pocket. Both of those would help an obviously struggling OL and be productive. Defensively, let's just start blitzing; tell king and mabin you're in man coverage all game and put pressure on the opponents.

Reharding play calling and execution on both sides of the ball, we were at a crossroads yesterday....and it was same old same old.

This is the most negative I've been in my 40 years as a Hawkeye. It sucks.

Hawkeye, would say that this season shows that kf must change his philosophy to make it more current? I mean, if Mitch Leidner can be an acceptable read option qb, then any qb can. I don't think CJ is a prototypical read option qb, but the OL is struggling to run and pass block. CJ is going to get killed one way or the other. let's at least allow the run game to utilize a 3 vs 2 option and help the OL.
