Iowa finishes 2nd in Legends Division

[biasedHAWKEYE]

feels a lot better than last year, eh?

 

[ICHawk24]

Feels awesome!!!

 

[Skeets77]

Absolutely Beautiful. Watching the players carrying the trophy off the field made me feel really proud of the Hawks. ManO ManO it's been a long time since feeling so good.

I predicted, like a lot of people 6-6 and while I could see 7-5 I never saw 8-4. Great job Iowa!

Also predicted a 6-6 before this season began. Could not be happier with the final record. Only one thing would make this year, and this win, better - Bo fired. With his buyout, not sure that will happen. But would love to see it.

We beat everybody in our division except Sparty! Not to shabby, not to shabby. Tough schedule out of division this season, imagine we would be looking a little prettier if we had IL and IN instead of tOSU and UW. Bowl outlook is fantastic now, Outback? Hope so.

great win - 2nd in Legends and 4th overall

2014 BIG West division: Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Wisconsin (forget the 7th team). Tell me why Iowa can't finish 2nd or above every season and start going to the BIG Championship Game. Today was a good start towards 2014.

8-4 with a loss in the opener to Northern Illinois. Who would've thought? Nobody, that's who.

And every critic picked them 5th mostly 6th in the division.

What's even crazier, with a solid bowl win, does Iowa sneak back into the final Top 25?

That would be awesome.

 

[Saginawbay]

Iowa will get some votes coming up in this weeks poll, and with a bowl win would be top 20.

Great season and congrats to coaching staff and players for working so hard and turning this around so quick!!!

I'm like everybody else I never expected a season like this. I figured at best we would be 6-6 now we have a good chance to go 9-4. I hope we can build on this season and possibly win a bowl and have some good mometum going in to the spring.

3 out of 4 teams that beat Iowa are potential BCS Bowl teams. The other one (Wiscy) just missed out.

Iowa WILL be ranked if we win our bowl game, regardless of who we play. We are 29th right now i believe.

I was delighted with the win, forgot all about the trophy, and when I saw the players holding up the trphoy, it was a huge bonus, lifted me even higher.

3 out of 4 trophies this year.

We will get that brass bull back next year!
