Yes, it's pretty heretical to think anybody is looking forward to football more than they are basketball. Football has a lot of work to do before it's really exciting again; most of the appeal is tailgating/atmosphere related, at this point (and there's nothing wrong with finding that to be enough). But basketball is on the edge of something great.

Well, considering the recent trends of each program, definitely next year's BB team. I have zero expectations for this year's football team being very good. It's hard to get too excited when you have no expectations.

Basketball - when all you can hope for in football is a .500 record it's not much to get excited about. There is nothing to feel good about regarding football - lack of confidence in coaching and this isn't a player I can't wait to see perform.
Do they have anybody likely to play in the NFL on this current roster? Usually an O-lineman, maybe C.J., but I can't get excited about him catching the ball 1 yard over the line of scrimmage.
The glass is half full for hoop team. They can beat anybody they play next year, can't say that about football team.

Football....partly because the sports overlap and if football is a disaster we still have bb to soothe our wounds. Nothing as fun as attending those bb scrimmages in the morning,speculating and fantasizing about bb success,then walking over to Kinnick on a nice fall day to watch the Hawks kick Minny's arse,like last year. with a beer.

Now this is funny ^^^^
But I am looking forward to FB. I want to see improvement, I want to see at least 6 wins, I want to see a bowl game. I want to see the players succeed and I hope it is exciting.
Cmon, turn around a few close loses and we will be fine.

I had to think for a minute, but I have to say I'm curious to see the two highly recruited d lineman who redshirted last year in Jaleel Johnson and Faith Ekakitie. I have no feel of how good I think they'll be, but they're big and bigger. It'll be nice to see some size on the DL.
Ultimately though, I have to say basketball for me. Could be a great year next year.

I can't believe more people aren't looking forward to the Football season. My god it's not like everyone blew us out and physically abused us. Penn State and Michigan kind of did, but we could have won every other game we played and should have beaten ISU, Central Michigan, Purdue, and Indiana. That's the difference between 4-8 and 8-4. Hell, I'll even throw the Nebraska game in there. We were in those games and had chances to win. Are you all saying those games couldn't just as easily gone our way as opposed to the way they went. With a young team, and crappy offense, and critical injuries...we were a few plays in several games from going 9-3 or 8-4.
Now, we have a great nucleus of players back, and our coordinators are now in the second years and have added some nice hires to their staffs. Granted the schedule was easier last year...but we will be much better just based on what is returning. Can our QB play actually go down? I don't think so. It's not as bad as some of the negative nellies will tell you it is. I'm optimistic we get back on track.

Basketball, the off season is going to be brutal. I am having a hard time getting excited about what could be another sub .500 season in football, and someone named Kurt keeping his job following it.

Hoops baby.
Iowa football is on a huge downslide. If you think last season was ugly, then .........

I always and forever will look forward to football the most...only because it is first on the agenda. And, the FB team will go 8-4 next fall and get a decent bowl game. With the new BT team alignment at East and West, Iowa actually will get a break, at least short run, in their schedule the following year(s). Basketball: I am so excited about the future of this team, I can hardly wait! Great coaches, great players, great fans, excellent conference...wow. So, I already have confirmed season football tickets, have my application in for all of the away games, and have already ordered my season basketball tickets for next year. Also on my schedule will be Iowa's bowl game and the BT tournament. Go Hawks!

Basketball. Always was my first Hawkeye love. Football over took it for the lick years but now It's not even close again. Ill still watch all football games but hopefully won't get emotionally vested in it as I normally in. My young heart can't take it after the last couple years both bball and fball.
