Younger, recruiting ties to the south, and you know.
More relatable personality?
Intangibles
It appears that CFN joins me in considering Maryland to be a non-conference game.
They did it with every team. Lol
looks like the 2012 team had four straight home games in September, although they weren't the first five games since they opened with a neutral site game (with probably 30k Iowa fans) in Chicago. the 2001 season played exclusively home games in September, but it was only three games since the Iowa State game was moved to November due to 9-11. the 1986 team also played exclusively home games in September, but they only played three games.
They also have OSU with two losses in total and in conference. Then the schedule has the two losses as at TCU and at MSU. I don't think they did their research.
they have Ohio State going 10–2 (6–2) with losses to Michigan State...and TCU. so there are two B10 games they think are non-conference games.
It's college football articles in late January...I'll take what I can get.
That's an expensive and exhausting September for season ticket holders.
the linemen have generally worked out when they've stayed healthy, but the 4-star offensive skill guys, woof
I think we beat OPEN DATE.
the bottom of that list: woof
I wouldn’t count it just yet. Kirk’s style allows us to stay in games with teams like Penn State, but also allows teams like OPEN DATE to stick around longer than they should.
Guys, I don't think OPEN DATE is actually an opponent, I think it's a week where Iowa doesn't have a game scheduled.
Very identifiable common thread there
They just didn't want to call it "at Illinois" twice?
Who are three guys that have never been in my kitchen?
That, and the letter E
I think Coker was lowkey the second best back of the Ferentz era after Greene and had a chance to be an all timer. His sophomore year was really good. He was like impossible to tackle for a loss and showed flashes of big play ability, especially in that Insight bowl his freshman year. If you ever want to feel sad imagine the 2013 team with him instead of Weisman.
Wisconsin seems like a pretty obvious loss to me right now too but otherwise this seems right. Hopefully this is Brohm's last year at Purdue. I could see Louisville bottoming out without Lamar and deciding Petrino isn't worth the trouble, and Brohm would be the most obvious candidate there
I think they knew that but were just trying to make a joke.
Iowa’s D line should be pretty fucking good and will be able to compensate for new linebackers.
Unless Iowa tries to protect their linebackers by playing more contain like they did in 2010.
Yeah they bring back the entire oline and probably the second best RB in the country. They're gonna be really good again, and I still don't think we'll be able to do much against them offensively
Though there does seem to be a concern that most of the returning backers are stiffs. Niemann and Welch need to have really good springs. Amani Jones apparently needs to exhibit some grasp of the defense. But... It does sound like they'd like to drop down a spare safety in some situations.
Would you like him
You mother fucker.
No. She didn't.
