#19. Kirk's finally earning his $4 million a year

Let's beat a ranked opponent before we again start swearing fealty to "Captain Kirk."

Thanks for making me look up "fealty" pal. I thought it was sexual at first, which I thought went too far, but turns out it's just loyalty related.

Correct.

This is funny on multiple levels. Well played.

Nobody is claiming fealty but the ISU win is a good one as is the way the hawks beat NIU. The Wisky game was not a bad loss but maybe a decent loss in polling aspects. Then the last two wins were pretty much beat downs of decent teams.

If PSU wins this week they will be ranked when we play them but probably the only ranked team left on the schedule

Yes, we have a cushy schedule. No OSU, MSU, or Meatchicken. And an 0-7 Nebby that lost to Troy.

Sounds like your cavilling again.

 

[HawkleberryFinn]

No

Sounds like your cavilling again.

I'll let you hang your hat on the NIU win. I need more proof. And it's "you're."

These Hawks are really good. They might get PSU in Happy Valley if they stay aggressive and healthy. Hopefully we crush Maryland and move up in the rankings. I think Iowa should be around 12 - 15.

I do love that Iowa is ranked higher than Wisconsin. Also only 1 spot behind the Penn State Sanduskys

 

[hawkeyes87]

I can't remember- what kind of bonus does KF get for appearing in a mid-season poll?

Little red is already promising a victory vs Iowa. They can’t stand being worse than us. I love it.

 

[HuckFinn]

Oh well. Some of the above have been known to repeatedly blast the Hawk program for not being a top 25 team. I am amazed that they played the "iowa has an easy schedule" card. Or, not.

Shhhh. Don't give his agent any more ideas, because he'd probably get it. I'm thinking about hiring his agent for my annual reviews. He's good.

6 year extension, and he gets to pee on his neighbors plants.

 

[mopkins]

Pointless question: What would Iowa be ranked had they beaten Wisconsin? I'd think they'd have to be top 10.

Definitely

But they also said Cincinnati, USF, Colorado and UCF have easy schedules too.

Or, not.
