Most disappointing season?

1997...hands down

Sorry, but a bowl game in this day and age just isn't a measuring stick for success, unless it's a BCS bowl. In fact, it's just the opposite. The lack of a bowl game invite is truly a shame, considering they take 6-6 and sub-.500 conference record teams.

Neither is a Jan-1 bowl. Used to mean something, but it doesn't.

I judge a season by our record, our schedule, AND the talent we have. We seeminly had it all this year. All the ingredients were there.

If the season ended now, yes, by far, this has been the most disappointing season for me. Ever. Going to the Outback Bowl isn't going to wipe the taste out of my mouth...not this year, not with the supposed talent level.

Well the good thing is we're probably not going to the Outback Bowl. I'm thinking Arizona on December 31st.

Too early to tell for this team. Right now 1997 is most disappointing but 2010 is sadly in the discussion.

This team has the most experienced talent I've seen on the Iowa roster.

IMO "A" Level players= guys who are 1st All B10 talent or better & likely NFL players

Stanzi
Rieff
DJK
McNutt
Clayborn
Ballard
Sash

"B" level guys= good players, borderline NFL material but guys who must be accounted for by opponents at college level

Reisner (probable NFL career)
Zus
Vandervelvde
Robinson
Klug
Binns
Daniels
Greenwood

This dwarfs the teams of 2005 & 2006. For whatever reason it just hasn't come together. And the great thing about college football is that unless your team is in the SEC, the only people getting paid are the coaches. They are the only ones to really blame.
