Iowa's most important game

[ICHawk24]

ESPN thinks its MSU:

Most important game: Iowa - Big Ten Blog - ESPN

I would go with PSU.

 

[racerhawk]

In the past, I woud've said Bucky.

I would agree that MSU is probably our most important game this year.

If we're "on top" the Nebraska and Michigan games are of course important as well.

 

[eveningnewsteam]

I would agree. Iowa could be(should be) 5-0 at that point and nobody would have a clue what type of team Iowa had yet.

 

[NeilDiamond]

We have the easiest firt 5 games in the history of college football (save Wisconsin's yearly opening slate). When your toughest test is a crappy ISU program, you should roll. However, I would not be shocked one bit if we lost 2 against some of these cream puffs. This team has been just as soft as its schedule lately.

Northern Illinois - If we lose the opener in Chicago, I'd be worried that many of the players on the team would be screwed in the head for quite awhile.

 

[David79]

I just have a feeling that they are going blow out Northern Illinois. They lost a lot on offense including their really good QB who led them in passing and rushing. and they lost their top running back.

 

[Section136]

The next game is the most important.

The next game is the most important.

Nice coach speak.

I could have been like you and said ISU.

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

I could have been like you and said ISU.

Nah. We should win that game easily. Not our most important game.

 

[Section136]

Nah. We should win that game easily. Not our most important game.

You are right, it isn't the Hawks most important game....but it most certainly is yours.

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

No, not really. I really want to see Iowa beat Nebby this year.

 

[1hawkeye1]

I agree with ESPN.

 

[ihawkeye]

You never know what to expect. Seniors need to play like Seniors and KF will have to put some faith in some freshman.

 

[GrandpaHawk]

The next game is the most important.

I agree.Don't look past anyone and just maybe we can sneak up on some of the teams.

 

[BillSPrestonEsq]

I go with all of them. Although, if we lose to Iowa State this year (or to any team with a player with a riduculous name like Steele Jantz) I may spontaneously combust.

 

[ssckelley]

Oh come on you guys, knock off that "next game is most important" crap. Iowa had better be friggin undefeated after those first 5 games. The Michigan State game is the most important.

 

[Hawkeye27]

Kirk needs to beat ISU, otherwise this is just getting embarrassing.

"getting"?

Losing to ISU wouldn't be as embarrassing as losing to Minnesota for a 3rd year in a row. I do love how Rhodes came out and said ISU is a stepping stone for him. lol
