**Official 2021 Iowa Football Season Thread**

[Hawk24]

It's interesting that after Saturday's game, so many of the talking heads have been saying how Iowa isn't a complete team, that they are one-dimensional, etc. etc. The same people are gushing over the OU-Texas game and how that was two talented teams trading shots, etc. etc. Well those 2 teams are incomplete, one-dimensional teams too....it just happens to be a different dimension that people find more entertaining, but certainly isn't any indication of "quality."

LOL Iowa is ranked #2 in the country. How fucking awesome. It still hasn't sunk in. Please take care of business this weekend so we can sit back and enjoy the bye week with that lofty ranking.

Actually having sellouts

Actually having sellouts

With Penn State and Purdue having sold out, seems like that's three consecutive sellouts, an unheard of accomplishment for some programs.

It must be some sort of a record.

From 1959 to 1980, Iowa had zero consensus All-Americans. They've had 6 since 2014 and should add at least one more this season.

that seems good. Coincides with the time @BuffettHawk started proposing blowjobs for success on the gridiron….

 

[chaneccooms]

Iowa has had more Consensus All-Americans since 2014 than Iowa State has had in the history of their program.

I admire a good meaty toe. Just delightful. I don’t believe I am alone on this.

I think someone else (maybe Doug) posted this in another thread, but it has been a fucking joy to watch this team this year and just savor each win. There’s so much emphasis on path to the playoff and rankings and shit, but I hope most Iowa fans are appreciating this season.

Pretty much all my friends are Ohio State fans and almost all the chatter every season is about National championship or bust, and there’s so much disappointment even with 10/11 win seasons. I’m not saying it isn’t fun to be an Alabama fan or Ohio State fan, etc. I don’t want that to come across as an Iowa Stateish type post like “were the best!”. I’ve been to those game day atmospheres and they are phenomenal. But I also appreciate being able to enjoy 8, 9, 10 win seasons and then have something like 09, 15, and this year come along. The margin for error for those other fan bases to have a really enjoyable season is so much smaller.



The other thing is that my friends could just be morons. This is probably true.

Every game and win is great. I just keep hoping maybe this is the team that doesn't have the letdown game. There hasn't been any team in my life without two of them.

 

[Geese]

i don’t consider Ricky blowing up his ankle a “letdown” just bad luck.

How do you define a "letdown"? 2015 only had the one

My thought as well. MSU wasn't a letdown

After Smith caught the bomb, I think many of us were mentally planning for the CFP.

The Colorado State punter was pretty damn good, if I recall.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Penn State's punter (was he also their placekicker?) was pretty good

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Pretty good at losing

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Sounds like SDSU has the best punter (according to ESPN).
