I still will say this: Playing outdoors in new York city IN December is the absolutely dumbest idea for a bowl game.

This must be what an Iowa inter squad scrimmage looks like.

 

[HuckFinn]

Amazing. You actually believe you are smarter than he is? That is why people with a brain just laugh at you.

I’ll agree with this. What’s next? The Santa Bowl at the North Pole? Take a dogsled team to the field? This is a bad bowl idea.

Or is it more embarrassing to be a fanboy that accepts mediocrity and the same stale product put on the field year after year. One that hand cuffs talented players?

Tomato, Tomoto

8-5...a little more than mediocre, depends on your math I guess

 

[ssckelley]

Yes it’s a crappy bowl but dammit we won!

I'm thinking the Canada Bowl.

 

[Joshbrown]

you bunch of negative nancys

. . . but it doesn't bother you when the HC is constantly negative about his (developmental) players and his program with the lil ole Iowa diminished expectations . . .

 

[tksirius]

If you aim for average, you bet!

 

[ClintonIAfan]

He tied Coach Fry for the most wins in program history at 143!

I'll take this team, these kids, these coaches, and the character of this program. Thanks

7.5 wins a year!! Woo Hoo!!!

 

[Ben Rumson]

Another 10 years and a 100% buyout clause.
$1 million for 6 wins.

Barta will be all over that.

Damn you! Then I'll be sixty! SOB!

I think there used to be a bowl in Toronto, but it was indoors.

Insight, also 2010

Good catch. Quick google search had the Orange listed first. Forgot about that Insight. Only remember the other...

 

[MoseSchrute]

I quit watching at halftime. You're all welcome.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Mitch!

Im not a math major, but if ferentz won the same amount of games in 19 years that hayden won in 20 years, doesn't that mean hayden won less than 7.5 games per year?

It's weird. How could Fry possibly have a higher winning percentage?
Fry= 61.6%
KF= 59.5%

In all seriousness, both coaches were/are average statistically. The only difference is that Fry took over a program that was literally dead on arrival with hardly any tradition at all.
