PREDICTION THREAD!!! Iowa vs. Missouri in the Insight Bowl.

I really think we will see a different Iowa team than what we saw the last 1/3 of the season.


Iowa- 27

Mizzou- 20
 
ESPN computer simulation says Iowa, 28-27. Which, of course, is meaningless, but interesting...

As for me and my non-computer brain: Iowa-45, Missouri-17. The Hawkeye coaching staff, including Norm, and players circle the wagons and take a year of frustration out on the Tigers, who wish they had canceled this contract too...
 
Prediction: the fan base looks forward to the Hawkeyes' conference basketball season.

Wow, it's pretty pathetic that the fan base would rather look forward to a 4-14 conference record than a Hawk bowl game.

I have to admit that when I read the title of this thread I thought that, when I saw all of the predictions I'd just read a bunch of Kool-aid drinking bravado about how we're going to roll Mizzou. But my faith has been restored in the fan base because it looks like roughly half of the fans here have attained a measure of objectivity and realistically picked Mizzou.

Hope, of course, the Hawks win but I see it 31-21 Tigers.
 
The fan base.. Yeah, some of the fan base is definitely screwed up.

Some will scream their heads off about a bunch of picks or an "underacheiving" offense. Some will scream their heads off about KOK's playcalling.

These same fans will accept an 8-4, or 7-5 record.

Which is it? Do they demand excellence or will they accept mediocrity? BTW, they wouldn't care about KOK's playcalling if they accepted mediocrity.

Why don't they critisize the defense? Or is it they'll never critisize Parker? Where's the objectivity?

Here's my prediction: Mizzou 28 Iowa 17.

Iowa will use the adversity to their advantage and kicks the crap out of Mizzu. Coker needs an ice bath for days after carrying the ball 35 times for 125 yards and 2 TD
 
Misourri 21 Iowa 20

Iowa will be ahead by 6 points for 55 minutes at which point Missouri will then take over and win the game in the last 5 minutes. Iowa will go into its vaunted bend but break zone defense and Missouri will go right down the field against a very tired Iowa defense that will do nothing different to stop Missouri. Missouri will score a TD with 2 minutes left in the game. Iowa will then put its offense on the field and try to score throwing 7-yard lateral passes and running up the middle. Missouri will blitz and do all kinds of things to confuse Iowa and it will work; Iowa will do nothing different and it will be three and out. Iowa loses by one point... Iowa is the best 55-minute team in the country! KF talks about how Iowa didn't execute and that is why Iowa lost the game...again.
 
After Minny...I don't think anyone in here would put money on the Hawks.

If you are post below how much, and what the hell you're thinking. Go Hawks.
 
I am having more faith in the Hawks recently. Got to thinking how youger players want to step up and lord knows the seniors want to have a good last game. I think the D has some proving to do (mostly to nfl scouts). So all in all I think they have a shot.
Hawks17
MU 17

Hawks kick field goal in ot and win it 20 to 17. (Be pretty cool huh!)
 
A month ago, I didn't think Iowa could beat Minnesota. Nothing has changed to make me think any different about this game.

According to one of the team leaders some players have quit.

Unless those players have been indentified and removed from the team, I don't see them being Missouri in the JV Fiesta Bowl.
 
Iowa 55
Missouri -7.... The Ferentz will find a way!

GO HAWKS!!!

I'm adjusting my prediction, because my original prediction was made before we knew DJK and ARob would not be playing...

Iowa 38
Missouri -7 (I still think The Ferentz will find a way)

We get to hear "In Heaven There Is No Beer" for one last time with this glorious senior class. GO HAWKS!!
 
Hawkeyes will manage several three-and-outs.
What is the over/under on Iowa (Donahue) punt yardage?? Take the over if the number is 225 and lower. If it's 250 or higher, leave it alone or bet the under.
 
The negativity here is astounding. Screw all of you for having no faith in your team.
You call yourselves "fans". I'd be happy if all of you found another team to
Root for. You really could care less if iowa wins, you fair weather "fans"

Wish I could pick the Hawks. Unfortunately, we sat through the Minnie game and watched a team as flat as a pancake. Even a ticked off KF can't fix this in a month.

Mizzou by 10. Let's get to spring and start over.
