In this thread, please post your age range, your general annual expenditures on Iowa football and what you think reasonable expectations for Iowa football are.
Here are mine:
Age: mid 30's
Annual expenditures: $1500ish for home season tickets and parking, plus motels, gas etc., generally also try to hit at least 2 road games a year
Expectations: Coaching that is amongst the top 10 in the country since we are paying top 10 prices, consistent top 25 ranking, rare losses to truly inferior programs (once every 3 or 4 years), 8 wins in "down years" with room for one 6 or 7 win season maybe once every 5 years, at least 4 conference wins per year, one Rose Bowl victory in my lifetime, one Rose Bowl berth per decade
If Ferentz takes $60 million out of the Athletic Department over 20 years and doesn't even make a single Rose Bowl, notwithstanding the great run in 2002 and 2009, I think his career will be a disappointment in the aggregate.
