Hawks not close to Natty Champ caliber

Yeah he doesn't know crap.
Last year was top 5. This year http://www.espn.com/college-football/statistics/teamratings.

Friggin Braska fans always say Wisconsin and Iowa never have a hard schedule like they do. That's right if we had that easy of one we would have more wins in the last few years.

Most of these schedules are inked 2 or 3 years in advance. There's no guarantee that the team will be good or bad when the actual game gets played. Unless it's UNI or North Texas or some such cream puff. I'd like to see those games go away. If Wisconsin or PSU ended up anywhere near their pre-season ranking, our SOS is considerably higher.

That is it though. Some people are okay with a win at all costs type of coach. I prefer the KF's of the world. In tears talking about his walk ons. I will take that over Saban.

hmmmm...I'm on the fence here. If there was a coach like Saban who could talk all that southern 5 star talent to come to Iowa I think I might enjoy that. Winning it all is a lot of fun, I got to experience that once as a Cubs fan and now I want more.

True. That's why we play who's in front of us.
But I don't hear very many fan bases complain about the schedule as much as Braska fans and yet they rarely even have a hard schedule.
Welcome to the jungle bi_ _ _ es. It's called big boy football.
Maybe they should run their own numbers and evaluate where they are as a program off of that.

Not a fan of Saban.

Not a fan of a coach crying in the corner during the post game interviews.

Well his players are big fans of him. Watch all the ones from the past on twitter. They love KF. Even DJK now.

They have no choice. They can't brag about anything, so they have to complain about something.
