I disagree with your Oklahoma State take. We get them at home, and should have beaten them a few years in a row now....
Other than that I mostly agree.
By the power of grayskull, one of these years we will beat skelator.
Whoops. I had actually left that game off accidentally. It's corrected now. Still like the Cowboys.
I'll take the over. The improvement of the line at the end of the year and a different mindset of the team. I think they go bowling.
This. We play KSU close most years...are they good...yes, but stay close and you get a chance to pull the upset.
In all seriousness I think ISU gets to 5 wins this year.
UNI, Akron, Kansas, TTU and one of Baylor/Iowa/TCU.
UNI, Akron, Kansas, TTU and one of Baylor/Iowa/TCU.
Imo, it would be a big disappointment if we don't get to 5 wins. I'm not sure if it's fair and I don't know where they will come but that's how I feel.
I think we win 5, but have an okay chance at 6. As long as we pick-up where we left off last season (the trending direction), we'll all be pretty happy with the results, I think.
There was an upward trend last year or at least a feeling that some things got solidified, especially up front, and the idea of getting the ball to your athletes out in space looked almost genius compared to previous seasons.
Since not everything is 'new' this year out of the gates for most players, I don't see a dumpster fire the first two weeks and hopefully ISU is that much further ahead when they get to the 'winnable' games later.
It's the most anticipation I've had for a season since 2012. Need to get past those mental Iowa Stateisms and 5-6 wins is absolutely achievable.
Please, no. Either 6 or more wins, or just 4. If we make 5 wins we'll be offered a bowl game and I don't want to have to listen to the ******* Halkeye fans talk about how a 5-win bowl game is lame... God I hate Halkeye fans...
Getting extra practices because you're invited to a bowl game is a big deal. I'd take 5 games and a pity bowl invite for sure
This says a lot about this staff. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Vegas has said 3.5 every year over the last 4 and we have gone under every time.
I'm pessimistic outloud and optimistic to myself. I'd bet on the under, but could hope for 6 or 7 wins. Like every year . . .
