What a joke. Its an important game, but Iowa isnt a top 10 opponent nor a key conference game. Dumb.
Historical opportunity with no downsides
- Thread starter lets-talk
- Start date
It's one game. Win or lose, we still have 10 more. Beating Iowa is great. Beating Iowa and winning two to three games in conference like we have done a few times sucks. Beating Iowa as part of a 10 win season would be awesome. Losing to Iowa and still having a 10 win season would still be nearly as awesome. Win or lose we still won't know much about this team after Saturday. Absolutely cannot wait to get into the meat of the Big XII season. On the excitement scale, my blood pressure will be higher for kickoffs against Baylor, OU, TCU, Texas and KState.
We're going to remain the flagship university in the state regardless of the game Saturday
Unranked means absolutely nothing here. We already got Gameday. And whoever wins the game will be in the rankings and the loser will drop out.
Not sure how anyone can disagree with this...seems like a no brainer.
Beating top 10 conference opponents has turned into a yearly thing for us. Beating a non conference team at 19 isn’t nearly as big.
It is a big game. But so is the next one. We happen to win this one and lay an egg next game.....that's throwing water on the fire. Let's face it......beating Iowa doesn't mean what it use to. I know that's hard for some Hawks to hear...but it's true. It's big...but not THE game. You think for a second the 2002 Hawk team or their fans would trade any of their season after the ISU game just to win that? It's a big game for both, but both have bigger fish to fry in the coming weeks.

I think that every game is important if you want to go undefeated and win a national championship. If that isn't your goal, then you are a 2nd rate program.
I understand that sounds lofty, but nobody off this board cares who played in the Alamo last year. Nobody.
I think KSU played in the Alamo bowl once, but I don't really know and I don't really care.
Oh I agree. But I'm not going to flush it just because we do lose a game. And I don't really give a s*** about the thoughts of anyone off this board.
CMC did not scheme to play conservatively against Iowa. Clearly he utilized the off week well and went for the jugular and it almost paid off. Nobody should complain that he didn't do his part to change the narrative. The b12 remains wide open.
1) nope. Not even close
2) fail. 2-0
Play book was opened up. Went after a true freshman CB and torched him a couple times. Clones defense stiffened up in the red zone and kept the game tight and gave you a shot to win.
Eh, things got pretty undefined there offensively late. Wasn't conservative but wasn't going for the jugular either.
This was in some points similar to KSU in 2017 with going away from what was successful.
We play a clean game and we win this by s couple TDs. But we can’t seem to play a clean game to save our behinds.
You called the big 12 wide open. Im saying its only wide open for 3rd place. Oklahoma and Texas are on a different level. Third place is a fight between ISU OkSt TCU KSU and possibly Baylor. Tech WVU and Kansas have no shot.
Texas is on a different level than your Hawkeyes? Interesting
