You're delusional now.
You coming over with some Sparty fans this weekend to watch them get beat?
How many wins will it take to win the Legends Division?

No I had the sickness the last couple of weeks so I gave my sister my ticket. She lives in Lansing. She be a Sparty hater also.
We dont hang with any Sparty fans. All my friends are Meesheegan fans. So we got a crew coming to that game. They are far more respectful.

Depends on who we lose to. If we are 6-2 with losses to Ohio and Wisconsin (undefeated against our division), we have a fine chance of going to the conference championship. If we are 6-2 with losses to Northwestern and Nebraska, we probably won't go to the championship. I should add that I fully realize how unlikely both of these scenarios are.

The Legends division team with the easiest schedule is MSU; IA, IU, PUR, Il, MI, NE, NW, & MN. Nebraska has the next easiest schedule; Il, Pur, MN, NW, MI, MSU, PSU, IA. IA, MI, and NW have the more difficult schedules, all three have OSU on the schedule, NW and IA both have WI. I'm thinking it would take 6 and 2 to win the division and Iowa's schedule looks to daunting. MSU and NE have by far the easiest path to 6 wins.

Let me get this straight. All the teams the Hawks beat this year suck... because we beat them. There is no other explanation, right? And Northern Illinois must be pretty close to sucking... because we should have beat them. Do I have it right?

Yes, and every team that has beaten a team that we beat also sucks. And every team that has any sliver of a possibility of losing to Iowa also sucks, and every team that has any possibility of losing to one of those aforementioned teams also sucks. And every team that has potential of losing a home game sucks, and every team that loses to a team that has potential of losing a home game also sucks. And so on and so on...and you're left with maybe two or three teams that don't suck.

Just like last year, it will be all about injuries.
If we stay healthy in the offensive line and at QB, I see no reason why we can't win 7 or 8 games.
If we start to lose key offensive linemen (Boffeli?) or Rudock goes out, the whole scenario changes very quickly.
Iowa doesn't have enough depth to be able to absord injuries to key players.
Keep your fingers crossed because MSU is PHYSICAL

Never saw a win against Minny carry so much weight in my life.
This was classic....Dinardo said that Iowa fans know about voting with the caucus's tradition. I believe this division is wide open right now, but someone like MSU could win it if they beat Iowa this week. Same with Nebby...they have an easy slate...next 4 games...Illini, Purdue, IU, and Minny....they could easily go 4-0 and be in control of the division.
The only one that really counts is Minny. The head to head in division play is where the rubber hits the road. They could loose all three cross division games, beat everybody in the legends division, end up w/ a 8-4 record and go to Indy. Iowa could win the 3 cross divisions games (tOSU, Purdue, and Whisk) beat everybody in the Legends but the Huskers, be 10-2 and miss the conference championship. Only in a three way tie situation do the cross division games count.

I agree with this Saginaw. I think 6 wins it, and when you look at how equally matched a lot of the teams are I think whatever team(s) end up with 6 will have received at least a couple lucky bounces in their favor. It's going to be one of those years. I don't see one team dominating to the point it's clear they are the best.

Hold serve at home and beat Purdue. That would give us tiebreakers over every one but Nebraska.
Actually, the probably still wouldn't be enough since Nebraska has kind of a weak conference schedule. Plus, it hasn't really felt like Kinnick has been good home field for us in a while.
