The majority is often wrong on here. Why? Because none of us can predict the future. Sports on all levels, rarely plays out like it's "suppose to". There's no expert, and while some may understand that game better than others, you still can't predict the future better than anyone else. That's half the reason I talk any kind of smack to you guys, cause you're clueless just like me....and powerless to do anything about it. You guys just act like you know your dick from your nose and frankly I get a kick out of it.
I've been saying ALL off season that I expect a HUGE pendulum swing from this team. I laid it out and said, I expect this team to take on the persona of their coach.... when things are bad, they are real bad, when they are good, they are freaking really good. Roller coaster of emotion much like Mount Fran. I expected Connor to be great. Why? Because he's the highest ranked guard Iowa has. I liked it when the 2 worse players on the team transferred out. I expected Garza to make a leap cause he's a beast. You could tell he was NO WHERE near his ceiling last season. I expected Daily to benefit from being pushed into his role last season.
Now you say, Good, you're a blind homer....., errrr sorry... I need to only say things in your words.... "A known Kool-Aid drinker". Am I? When Iowa was 6-1 in football and we were gonna win the B1G West and people were talking play offs..... and we "needed WI to lose games to win it" - my take was WI was gonna lose again don't worry, but so was Iowa....likely multiple games.
This doesn't make me "right" or an expert, it makes me a good guesser.
