Could be worse. You could be a top 25 team starting five seniors and loose to us.I've always been a Fran supporter, but 20 losses this year is a real possibility. That just shouldn't ever happen.

LolFran has no idea how stinking bad we will be this year....are some of you blind? Iowa will not win 10 games....ISU will throttle our D with guards, and UNI will do the same....if you cannot play defense you have no reason playing D1....defense wins games....period, and we do not have anything that resembles a defense
They are on a GOOD 3 year run??? LOL......My goodness, don't you EVER get embarrassed by your ignorance? In the last 3 years they have had a losing record one year, and lost in the B1G tournament and the 1st round of NCAA's the last 2 years.....YEE HA!!! LOL....You are seriously 'handicapped'......... I HOPE WE EMANATE PURDUE, BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.................Just shut the hell up, jerkoff...........Purdue looked horrible for a few years and their coach was one season away from getting fired. Now they are on a good 3 year run. Look at every team in the conference other than Wisconsin and MSU and you will see the same thing that is happening to Iowa right now.
When you have one class pan out abnormally well like we did, you will more than likely have a big drop off after they leave. My fear is this freshman class might be the same. Hopefully they won't blow two seasons late like the last class did so if we have another big drop off when they leave it won't suck so bad.
I love your 'seers'....lol.....you really think you know if any of these people will be alive and how they will play at iowa, LOL..............Just shut the hell up and get a fricken life, would you ass-hats!!!!I could see Moss being a 10 or 12 PPG scorer by the time he's a SR. That's not what I would call "a scorer" but it's reasonable. It should be interesting to see what happens to his playing time. Next year Connor will come in and the following year Wieskamp will be here. Then Patrick. He's not likely to play 20+ minutes with those guys on the roster, IMO.
Here we go again with this 'speed' thing. It SEEMS all you 'fans' (idiots) don't think Iowa EVER has any speed in football, basketball, etc...It is an IGNORANT bias that is not based in reality. I was at the Omaha game, and SPEED wasn't their problem. LAZINESS was and every coach and player on the team will tell you that and I KNOW 2 players on the team and a recruit coming in, so MY 'opinion' is informed, unlike you freekin morons. WE HAVE NOT LOST A GAME IN FOOTBALL OR BASKETBALL THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF 'SPEED'....you silly twits....As you guys like to say, LEARN THE GAME, and maybe you'll understand what is going on in execution, etc...........
You're one of those 'lurkers', eh? OK, so many things about them in the 'flats'....first of all, that is what Iowa's defense is designed to give you...short gains in the flat. Secondly, the only time that Neimann and Bower get 'beat' in the flat (and normally, they are all over the receiver) is trying to cover a slot receiver or back (on crossing routes alot) with a LB which NO team does well. They completed over half of their passes to RB, FB and TE for short gains. They threw for 2 long gains which has nothing to do with our 'speed' (especially at LB). You failed to mention (and I can post the shots on here) of Jewell getting beat in the flat also (Butt from Mich. for one). Is it because he was too slow? You think we lost to Wisconsin because our LB's were too slow? LOL.....Thanks for sharing....you can go back to 'lurking' now, because you're clueless. We lost the game because we got outrushed 167-83. Plain and simple. Strange time and place to post this drivel..........I've been lurking in the forums here enough to know that you can give good insight to anyone willing enough to read beyond your snarkiness. However, if you don't think that Iowa didn't lose a game due to speed this season, you clearly did not watch the Bower and Niemann 5 yards behind anyone in the flats, specifically in the Wisconsin game. Their recognition on playfakes was simply not there and their lack of reconvery speed left everyone open runnning to the flats. Just that doesn't address the lack of a receivers ability to get open downfield.
Also, what is everyone saying about Moss now? Can I take the "he won't make an all B1G" now?
