I think with this SEC "super conference" there could be more of that going forward.
Iowa's football schedule
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Absolutely, I hate the SEC but it’s a meat grinder.
Look at LSU…they just fired a coach that won a national title a couple years back
This again? Dear god 'Clones need to stop with this already. And I hate Iowa as much as the next guy, but the truth is ISU will never know because ISU doesn't play Iowa's schedule and vice-versa.
I do believe any reasonable Iowa fans knows they didn't play murderers row, but they can only play the teams on their schedule and nothing more.
I'm sure there will always be the desire to get to the top, make the most money, get the best athletes but there's a lot to be said about winning 8-9 games a year at ISU, IA, VaTech, Utah, etc.
Man, if only some of the teams on their schedule lived up to the hype this year then they would have played at least four.
I’m thinking if he was still winning at a high rate that stuff would have been buried….but who knows. It’s the SEC after all
Agree, winning let’s lots of fans over look disgusting behavior. I can’t. Think LSU did the right thing.
You mean like Iowa getting a Co - West division champs trophy before Wisconsin lost to Minnesota ? That kind of participation trophy? Now granted it fixed itself but if Wisconsin won and Iowa didn't go to the championship there is no way that you can be a co champ when you get blown out by the winner. But hey they made it. Now go try not to get blown out.
Every league on earth does that.
The constant obsession with Iowa's schedule is really weird. Are they supposed to go out and singlehandedly invite teams to the Big Ten or what? Ask to do all the league scheduling?
The Hawks schedule comes up when the Clones tank. It’s a coping mechanism.
The first part is absolutely correct
the second part, not sure. They were on here trying to build up those terrible teams like they were complete garbage.
that’s why I kept telling gohawks to take their gift and quit trying to rationalize the break you got.
it also probably the memory of the last time they played such a bad schedule, got mad for the media making fun of them, and then got embarrassed by Stanford
What? I didn't say anything about the overall schedule of Iowa unless you can't read. I just thought it was odd that they had a Co Champ trophy already with Wisconsin and Minnesota still playing. If Wisconsin won then Iowa is a Co Champ with a team they lost head to head to doesn't seem logical. But it didn't end up mattering.
He didn’t lose his job just because he lost games, or just because acted like a clown off the field.
he lost his job because he did both.
Actually we talk about how jealous we are of your schedule every year
