If by chance the Hawks would have beat NW, would the board be singing a different toon? The Hawks would still be sitting pretty with only one conference loss and have a chance for a Big Ten title and BCS game. (with some luck)
After the AZ loss, that was the worst I've ever felt as a Hawk fan. That's the truth. My expectations of this season were to win a National title, and anything less would not be acceptable. REALISTIC? probably not. I built this season up so much in my mind with "realistic" expectations of competing for and winning a national title. I thought this team was just that good and I had never felt more confident.
After a couple of days of mourning, I got over it. I decided that it wasn't worth it and that getting upset wasn't doing me any good. I decided to not worry so much about the national title or my expectations and just enjoy the season. When this team lost to Wisconsin and then to NW last weekend, it really didn't bother me. I really should have learned from past experience that things "meant" to go a certain way usually don't. Especially when it comes to expectations with Iowa football and basketball.
Now, regardless...... I fully expect Iowa to beat OSU this weekend.
I just have a good feeling about it. My prediction: 31-21.
