And posted this on Hawkeye Nation. If any fricken hawk fan says something to me again about how our season goes down hill after the Iowa game, My head's going to explode.
So I'm getting sick on a Monday of hearing all the excuses about how this game is ISU's Super Bowl and such and such.
There is 1 season. COUNT IT. ONE SEASON, that MAY, just MAY back that up. Look at the results of the last 9 years. This crap about how this game is the season for us has to go, but hey, whatever makes you feel better about the loss.
'98-Both were horrible and we happened to win
ended the year 4-7
'99-Again-both horrible and we finished 4-7 again
'00-we won and finished 9-3. Tough to say the Iowa game was our season
'01-Beat you guys at the end of the year to go 7-4. I think your record was the same. Lost our bowl game on a field goal wide right to Alabama.
'02-Beat you guys in game 3 of a 6, COUNT THEM 6 GAME WIN STREAK that was halted after we lost to Oklahoma and the season went down hill from there.
Finished 7-6
'03-WE were horrible and you beat us
'04-you beat us and we went 6-4 the rest of the year and were playing for a conf championship at the end of the year. Tied for Big 12 N.
'05-Beat you guys and went on to win 7 games and lost 3 in OT. Played the last week of the year for a conf division title.
'06-You guys beat us and we were horrible. You guys went 3-7 after you beat us.
Some improvement through the year.
