It is official we owned the Big Ten Champion

[thetrza]

I am watching the talking head morning shows that may have been recorded last night. While they are mentioning Iowa's win over Ohio State, they are omitting our win over the only team to beat Oklahoma. Our wins over Ohio State and Oklahoma give us bragging rights over Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Michigan, Penn State, and probably some other schools after the bowl season is over.

Urban is a smug ass, but win it all and we can also say we destroyed the National Champions as well. We probably will never win it under Ferentz, but having a win over the National Champion in the same season would be about as close as it gets.

OSU isnt gonna win if they get in. They dont belong.

If Bama had been crushed by KY there would be no further discussion bout Bama.

I hope Ohio St doesn't get in the playoff and because of their loss to Iowa, and their fans will have to live with this during the off season.

The Iowa loss is being cited as the reason Ohio State won’t make the CFB Playoff. Feels nice.

And they shouldn't. If they did they'd get destroyed, and that would look bad for any future conference champs, and give the committee the excuse it needs to ignore conference champions so that the playoff will be USC Alabama OSU Clemson in perpetuity, because they take the 'best' teams.

Every one of the talking head shows is talking about Iowa today. They are saying Iowa is average and a loss to Iowa is disqualifying, but they are talking about Iowa on Selection Sunday.

I wish they weren't talking about us at all! They say Iowa as if their talking about the plague! I hope all the KF apologist appreciate the national prospective we've gained under him! HF made us a name and KF made us a joke! How's that for HF against KF comparisons!

 

[cincyhawk]

Yeah, well, it's too bad Iowa couldn't create their own destiny toward the playoffs this season. Iowa...spoilers...Iowa...spoilers. That chant doesn't have much solace in it.

Expectations. Our fan base subscribes to the if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, get an ugly woman to be your wife philosophy.

It is great to be a Hawkeye!

Ahh, the moral victory. The siren song of the Hawkeye fan.

The only good thing about last night's game, is that at least now, the Iowa staff has some footage of how to actually play against a 3-4...

Yeah it helps to play against any defense when you have 4.4 or faster receivers. Notice that OSU did not run their running backs wide on sweeps, they ran a few jet sweeps but that was about it. Wide plays were bubble type screens but their main runs were straight at Wisky.

This is true USC should be in but the media will take one of their sweetheart programs.

Never thought I'd see the day where USC wasn't one of the media's sweetheart programs.
