I've seen Randy be more critical than I've ever seen Chad. Yes, Randy uses soft gloves most of the time, but I've never seen him go to the lengths to justify ISU's short comings that Chad does.
Also, at least Randy didn't grow up in Ames, Iowa.
Seriously Leistikow?

Actually not. The comment wasn't if they are good or not. It was that Randy is not as much of a homer as Chad. Chad writes his articles like a fan.
Randy is a homer but nobody compares to Chad. Follow him on Twitter during a game, he's worse than Miller
I would but he blocked me for asking him why he didn't complain that 30+ other coaches besides CMC didn't have Iowa ranked.
If you can't see the difference between the two of them, I can't help you.
Both are taxed with someone st the columnist role for Iowa and Iowa state. But Chad writes like a fan.
Oh I lied it wasn't for that tweet. He responded saying something to the effect "Well Iowa didn't beat those teams 45-3". So then I asked why voters had to go off of a september game and ignore 10 games of data since? He then blocked me.
I think that was even more thin skinned than when Scott Dochterman blocked me when I asked him to explain why Iowa's 2015 schedule wasn't weak.
Yeah, those close losses would be great to have back, but perhaps that was also all a part of the process.
This is the group that was part of that 'wake up call' narrative two seasons ago that never really came to fruition, but there really seems to be a change this season after Texas, i.e. if they get beat tomorrow night, it's going to be because they make OSU beat them, not because they didn't play well or come out sluggish.
Randy Pete imo has this 'backhandedness' to some of his coverage.
Jon Miller is like many Hok fans I've known throughout life--that's not a good thing.

ISU is 6-6 in two possession games.
Iowa is 4-2
Assuming "average" luck is .500 (law of averages) than Iowa is actually luckier than ISU and if anything, subtract one win from their total.
I suppose this is an 'Iowa' thread but my thought was on ISU alone...don't really care about what Iowa's doing, although if they've won a few games here and there I guess maybe it helps ISU's seeding potentially.
I thought KenPom was the Hawkeye bible, he has you guys much luckier than us
