What if Iowa had beaten Nebraska last year?

Would there have been a New Kirk (or, as I see it, a return to the Original Kirk)? I don't think so. He's said that loss caused them to re-evaluate everything about the state of the program (moreso than the Taxslayer Bowl, which was an extended hangover from the Nebraska game). Maybe in the end, it was a "good loss". The proverbial slap in the face.

What if Barta didn't give KF the contract extension? Would Kirk even be here?

Imagine if they beat iowa state and nebraska last year instead of blowing late leads in both games. They win 9 games and don't even play Tennessee. It's crazy to think what iowa would be right now

Good point. It's all crazy speculation, and is just fun, idle chatter during a bye week.

We would have been spared your pithy post.

I think we would still have a pre-med student at QB.

What if the Mich/Fla refs don't screw Iowa in 2005? Recruiting up-tick that started (and ended) with the 2005 class continues and Iowa wins national titles in 2008 and 2009. That's what happens.

....and Maryland.....

We were 3 blown leads, significant leads, away from a 10 win season. It's "how" we lost those games....

arrrgghh, that nebby game still bothers

this is possible, and as much as I have always defending KF, it appears that playing JR over CJ was an error. But who knows.....

We would have finished 8-4 in the regular season last year instead of 7-5.

According to the announcers for the Michigan/Utah game, we had a kinesiology major for a QB. O-chem is no joke, fellas.

Still blows my mind how we lost that game. NE was terrible.
