09-10 North Champs???
- Thread starter TDclones
- Start date
This is dumbest thread of 2009 and there have been some dumb threads so far. ISU has a 10 game losing streak and has lost 17 straight road games. ISU is a bad team. No way in hell ISU can win 9 games next season and certainly not win 3 road games. I can make an argument for 6, but even that is a stretch.
ISU wins 4 next year.
ISU wins 4 next year.
No way am I joining any prediction threads. For one, all we do is bash Hawkeye fans for their unrealistic expectations. Secondly, I made my predictions in 2008. Thought we'd be lucky to see 6 or 7 wins, but saw no reason we wouldn't get to 5. I give up.
Well, sorry, I actually did join the thread. I'm just not going to make any predictions. I have no idea what we'll do.

As a Cyclone fan, I say we go into the last game at 5-6 with a shot at a bowl game...
and lose on some freak play that has happened twice since football was invented. :no:

7-5 next year....
playing in the Independence Bowl against Rat Chizik....and beating him.
Then most of our fan-base storms the field....and about 5 guys punch Chiz in the balls.
Called it.

I would assume that a 4 to 5 win season next year would appease most ISU fans. However, if we go 2-10 again, I won't be surprised.

Doesn't it go XBox style?
Learn to win next year, so we settle for 9-3, and then we go on a 10-year undefeated streak.
It's obvious if you think about it:yes:
Mmmmmmmm, Kool-Aid.

You see us losing to Baylor, but beating Kansas, Nebraska, AND Missouri?
Whatever it is you are taking, smoking, or otherwise absorbing, I want some of it! :biglaugh:

Given the last few seasons, we probably will break 3-4 wins, but I just don't know how or see how things will get turned around that fast. I think things seem brighter for 2012, but the next 3 years, I just dont see it.
Losing Gene to posterity is worth at least two more wins than the last regime would have carved out next year for us.
How about we accept to both the Independence and Houston Bowls, that way we can just send in the ames high squad to mop the floor with whatever GC can put together. And then we can beat Buffalo in Houston. :wink:
Hey as long as we're mimicking Kansas' season last year, our bball team might as well win a National Championship too!

It is the Year of the Cyclone!!!
Just wait till the rest of the country finds out.
Nice list, but not going to drink the kool-aid just yet. If everyone on offense comes back next year with a OC who will take it to you, then we have a shot at some winnalble games!! If we recruit well and the verbals stick then I really think we are in good posistion to win. Nebraska is just as beatable as any team because I believe any team in the Big Twelve can win on any given saturday. I really like the players we have now and if they all stick together and stay here will have success.....NO DOUBT. OUT.
I wouldn't be real surprised if we won the North just based on some talent returning at key spots, especially on O. That being said, it will be tough for the team to learn a new system and be able to play at full speed. We might lose a few games where we are equal or greater in talent because the players have to learn a new system.
