Iowa still doesn't really have a "Big Win"

Yeah, beating Michigan in Ann Arbor is a great win anytime but Michigan is still not very good and when I left the stadium that night I felt lucky we didn't end up losing that game.

Penn State is awful, losing to Illinois and having a lackluster performance against Minnesota today.

Eastern Illinois and Ball State are the sisters of the poor.

So I guess you could say the "best" win that Iowa's had this year has been Iowa State; The big games we've had against solid teams (Arizona, Wisconsin) we've lost.

We could very easily lose to Michigan State, Ohio State, and Northwestern since we really haven't done anything yet.

Can't argue with that logic.

can't tell if that's sarcasm or not

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

No sarcasm. I completely agree. This team is getting a lot of love for not doing ****. The two teams we lost to would have given us a "Big win". As of right now, our resume is lacking.

Remember Ferentz said he was not sure if he had the fifth best team in the country or the fifth best team in the Big Ten?

The arrow is definitely not in one of those directions. Yep, when at Michigan and ISU are your best wins, that does not bold to well right now. It is like beating Notre Dame. Looks good, may even feel good, but it is really fools gold on your record. Hard to believe in a year where you have already beat Penn St and Michigan that it does not mean as much.
