We will be this year and going forward. Look at the leap from year one to year two. I wouldn't be surprised to get 9 wins this year and with the culture in place we are going to see a lot more consistency in the program. The standard will be higher than it is out east, that's certain.
Question for Hok fans?

They would have been the second best team in the Big Ten West last year. Derp
Actually if you look at the increase from year one to year two, the natural progression is a 13 win season this year. That is math and you can't argue with math.
@Thinker, this is the kind of hok mentality we were talking about.
@YeahBuddy It's year three now. You have two years of statistics to go off of. Now I get it, KF got to Iowa before Y2K was a thing, but when you have a coaching change they have to get their system in place and start building a program, especially considering the dumpster fire that was ISU FB just 2 years ago. From year 1 to year 2, there was a jump from 71 to 25. If you are still asking about raising the standard, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe, don't be so dense?
Well we play in the best conference in the country so you have to be a little realistic. We aren't winning 13 games. But 9 is very doable.
You are using 1 year of results to make an argument, I am using about 125 years of results.
I'm addressing your half-assed attempt at trolling by saying, "what the hell happened to raising the standard." Year 1 to year 2 was an obvious change. If you don't see that as changing the expectations (or standard just to be clear) then like I said, don't be so dumb.
And no you aren't you pulled 4 years of results. No one is arguing that ISU is a better program in terms of history. Really gotta sift through the bs with this lot. Math and reading comp must not be valued out east.
Iowa has played 4 ranked teams in 2 of the years 2015 and 2016, 3 top 10 teams in 2017 and 1 ranked team in 2014. 2014 might have been a year ISU helped Iowa a little but not by much as they were 2-10 that year.
You are not getting what I am saying at all. ISU had a better schedule than Iowa due to the fact the Iowa was on it. Iowa was worse that ISU by a wide margin because we had to have ISU on it. Now that ISU is better the schedules should be better.
Lol you're a moron. You could replace Iowa with Rutgers every year and we would have still had a much harder schedule than you guys the last 4 years
I'd freely admit that your schedule got tougher when you finally had to play a big boy schedule with tOSU and Michigan. No doubt. You also had two pretty easy years there as well.
The easy schedule narrative was most prevalent a few years ago, when it was true.
Take out last year when you actually played a big boy schedule and the numbers look a bit different. Overall the B1G West SOS are pretty sad in general though. I'm curious, what does the B1G East SOS look like?
Illinois: 44, 44, 37 41.7
NW: 53, 33, 47 44.3
Wisky: 54, 66, 13 44.3
Iowa: 60, 52, 33 48.3
Minny: 43, 43, 65 50.3
Purdue: 50, 40, 61 50.3
Nebby: 61, 49, 57 55.7
@Angie , can we close this troll fest? It has nothing to do with the original question and it's turned into a whizzing match between Iowa trolls and CyTwins.
Look how hard the schedule was for you this year. that is now the new normal. No more excuses for ISU from now on. ISU should be getting better than 7-5. they should win at least 8 regular season games next year.
It has to be better then that. It is not for the lack of trying. Nebraska had Oregon the last 2 years and Miami(FL) how were they supposed to know they would stink that far in advance. Iowa had Pitt, Zona, ISU, Syracuse. Not world beaters but how are they supposed to know that in advance. ISU's hardest out of conference team is iowa every year. Iowa at least tries to play a better or equal team to ISU every year.
