1 question, just one question:

Is the HAWKEYE/CYCLONE rivalry ... NU2U
???
I predicted ISU would score 13
They scored 13

I predicted Iowa would score 37
They scored 16

I predicted Hecklinski w/ 2 TDs
There’s the difference - Hecklinski DNP
TDs ( not FGs) with Hecklinski at QB.

So, I moved to austin in 1990. Their goal here is for UT to win the national champ game every single year. That is the deal. Now, this yr they got a better shot at it since they beat OSU tonight. But usually they really have no shot. Especially since they joined the SEC. But they persist. That is the goal. Yes they have a few natty games, like I think maybe 1970, maybe like 2006 0r 2007. A few tries when they lost to Alabama, recently. Lost to Washington huskies in the playoffs a few yrs ago.But I always wondered what it would be like to have that goal every year for Iowa? It is a strange thought.
That goal and $40 mill to spend on players

14.5 point favorites

snort!
Oregon was 26 point favorites over a team that were just blown out by Tulsa, Oregon with a team full of 5 stars and expensive transfers. Fire Dan Lanning. Ditto Michigan and their relic of a coach.

This would make sense, all things being equal.

All things weren't equal in this game.

Our roster is more talented than theirs. Our coaches are more experienced than theirs. It was on our home field. It was a night game at Kinnick. This is their coaches' 1st season at ISU. This is their players' 1st season at ISU.

ISU outcoached us. Their players were more physical. Honestly their players seemed to care more.

Iowa was ranked #21 in the country going into their game. Their team was picked to finish last in the Big 12.

You can try convincing yourself otherwise all you want but this was not a good W for us.
any win is a good win.
Ask Oregon.

You could ask me the same thing. You'd think I would have learned by now!

I haven't bothered to look up Mr. Rogers's post-game presser. Did he unleash another "F- the Hawks." He must have wanted to say it.

ISU got all the mo and playing balls to the walls knowing the refs are turning a blind eye to a ton of shat.
BB is the same way. Teams play aggressive as F* knowing they can get away with s-- t. Clones sprinkle in some dirt, and.......you know what? F* them guys.

They had problems all across the team. Mahomes Jr may wish he stayed at Braska
The score wasn't even indicative of how badly they were beaten. OSU had over 500 yards of offense, twice what Oregon had. OSU was dominated by Tulsa the week before.

Yeah I saw the Oregon yardage I thought maybe people got hurt or something. Crazy low number for them.
