[Sparky]

2015
September
5	Illinois State (FF)
12	at Iowa State (Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series)
19	Pittsburgh
26	North Texas
October
3	at Wisconsin
10	Illinois (Homecoming)
17	at Northwestern
24	Bye

I'm taking Iowa at straight up 12-0 going into the playoffs.

Ferentz should really be able to open up the playbook and focus on winning.

6-6, but that's football.

6-6, but that's football. *snort*

I misplaced my gum. Can't predict a record until I have some gum to chew.

 

[Sparky]

I'm having shirts drawn up as we speak. PM me if you want one. Jon, I'll give you yours free.

 

[tweeterhawk]

Agree on 12-0, Sparky. The Wicked Witch of the east bank is dead. Nothing stopping Kirk now. I'll take one of those shirts; where do I send my money? I'll spring for Jon's, too.

I get the sarcasm, and I've stayed out of the argument mainly because I don't know for sure what impact SM had on the football program. I've read both sides. All I know is that her leaving clearly won't translate into instant victory for Iowa, but a more "pro-sports" type of president couldn't hurt either right? I mean who thinks Barta is doing a bang up job? Not me. Who has kept Barta employed?

Hey, Sparky
Everything Iowa Football-related is locked in place for 2015. No changes (I assume you missed KF's press conference). The potential changes to any Iowa athletic programs can happen when/if Sally's replacement fires Gary Barta. I don't think anyone has said that Sally leaving will have any affect on 2015.
So, therefore, thusly, henceforth, your post makes no sense.

But I'll say 7-5. We'll win a few due to CJ and we'll lose a few that we shouldn't due to KF.

 

[Playmaker]

Kirk treats non-conference like NFL Pre-Season since he has no National Championship aspirations, so 2-2 there...then 4-4 in conference...6-6 overall and another "Bowl championship" shot.

I don't think the athletic department will improve immediately. I mean jeez, she is gonna be around for 1/2 of 2015. I do know the Iowa athletic department will be in much better shape 5 years remove from her incompetency though.

 

[MrEHawk]

If we win a single game it'll be a miracle with our idiot coaching staff.

I think you answered your own question of not knowing for sure of SM's impact on football when you asked "Who kept Barta employed?"

12-0!

 

[hawkinn3]

Your asinine point is made, it wasn't well made or cleverly made but it is made.

 

[Rosebowler]

14-1. Tough national championship game loss, as Sally won't be out until July 31. Probably would win it if she'd get out right now.

 

[tksirius]

7 to 9 wins with Beathard.
5 to 6 wins with Rudock.

 

[clim]

8 wins including a mid tier bowl win

 

[uihawk82]

I go with 8 wins but no more. Weak schedule again and we have two of our losses at home in Minny and the Twerps. I think 3-1 in non-conf with renewed emphasis on maybe actually out game planning the opponent.

We will probably lose to ISU but we shouldnt. Lose at Wisky and probably at Nebby.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

No change in record if she stayed or left. I'm curious whom do we get to blame now.
