I’d say 8 wins is more likely than 7, but 7 is definitely possible.

Both are more probable than 9.

(not counting the who gives a shit bowl)
No one is saying 7 is impossible. We’re saying that you continue to be a little bitch about just about everything. Nothing has changed!!! False, Iowa’s offense has gotten better and your posts have gotten much worse

And if you could read or interpret written word you’d see that my “nothing has changed” argument is specifically directed to our record against ranked teams.

God you guys are really fucking dumb.

He speaks like a washed up version of a 1A Iowa high school athlete. “We played up against Newell-Fonda in the playoffs! Why can’t Iowa do that”

No recognition in the difference of talent in teams above them
WTF are you talking about?

Sorry for not being happy about losing every time we play a ranked team. I need to be a better fan.

Sorry for not being as good of a fan because I call a spade a spade and don’t automatically think they’re going to win every game.
You do know what an upset is dont you? Like Oregon fans you think putting Oregon on upset alert means they think the Hawks are the superior team? IOWA fans were super jacked about the possibility of upsetting Oregon because IOWA is the far superior team?

The Dads stance is not remotely controversial.
Of course it is. Trying to equate the losses against Indiana and Oregon, the #2 and #9 team in the country in competitive last second games to the previous years where they were complete blowouts is absolutely fucking retarded and I'm SHOCKED you are on his side.

we didn’t try to score for half the game. It’s retarded.

They are all equal in the only way that truly matters.

Trying to get to the root of your problem? You seem to be stuck on wins vs top ranked opponents. I am just trying to let you know that IOWA is not a top ranked opponent and it is not usual for teams to beat top ranked opponents.

Yesterday it seemed you were trying to say that teams like Indiana and Oregon purposely play IOWA close so they dont "fuck up" because they know they can just win in the end whenever they feel like scoring. When- if they actually feel IOWA sucks and has no offense AND can just score on them whenever they want. Wouldn't it be REALLY retarded to keep it close.

I get you are just angry about losing a close game to a good highly ranked opponent. We all are annoyed but come on theDad.

WTF does this even mean?

Next, are you going to say that Oregon didn't try to score for half the game either, because they know Kirk's coin flip strategy and it has all been figured out and this is why good teams are just fucking with Iowa?

Kirk lost me when he refused to fire his meathead son. He put his retarded seed above the entire program. It was an egregious mistake on its own. More importantly, it showed he had no interest in addressing his biggest weaknesses: stubbornness and risk "aversion".

He's earned his way back a bit in my mind. It's not a Kirk 3.0 or whatever the fuck version we're on now. But it's a Kirk 2.5. And Big Balls Beth is not going to sit back and let him be both AD and Moon Family Head Football coach like that cuck Barta. That said the old dog doesn't deserve anything but a short leash. 7-5 is not good enough. But I don't think they finish 7-5.

Iowa is not beating ANY ranked teams. Not just top ones. 0-12.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect Iowa to be a team that’s consistently in the top 25 and to contend for a playoff spot on occasion. To do that they’ll need to be able to beat ranked teams from time to time.

While closer, our ultimate results against ranked teams this year are exactly the same as they’ve been in the recent past. Zero wins.

This is a fact and arguing against it makes you look like an asshole who’s okay with being perennially irrelevant.

It is truly hard to explain how dumb of a "point" this is.

The fact that Dad thinks we should beat ranked teams from time to time is soooooooo childish.

811 might be the dumbest guy here.

The fact that you keep repeating this in this same fashion shows you have no idea what the rest of us are even saying.

KF is around .400 in games vs ranked opponents- .300 in games vs top 10. Who would you like to compare that to?

I am of agreement that KF's rock fight strategy against EVERY team is not MY ideal strategy and has lost him many games that were winnable. But winning against the Ohio States, Oregon, Penn State, Michigans of the world is not a normal occurrence of a team like IOWA historically. I like you wish it were different.

Could Bobby Stoops had IOWA in the sphere of Oklahoma possibly, many like to think that, but thats all woulda coulda.

Brian Kelly has a .500 record vs ranked opponents coaching top teams Notre Dame and LSU for fucks sake.

That's my thoughts on it- keep being miserable if you want or join the millions of bandwagon fans who are Winners!

But what you don't understand is that because Iowa lost super close games to top ranked teams this year, that means there is no improvement, and it is the exact same thing as getting boat raced by 40 with no chance of even being competitive. Don't you see? It's the same thing.

The players and coaches should adopt the mentality that "well, it's the same result, so we just fucking suck and good teams are toying with us". That's what makes a WINNER.

The hilarious thing is the dad thinks we are all celebrating the team, like we're saying "you're all winners to us!" It takes a ridiculous level of incomprehension to think that's what is going on.

This was Dad's argument yesterday
My argument was that better teams are okay with getting in rock fights with Iowa because they know they have more rocks. If they don’t fuck up with turnovers they know they’ll win, which causes them to play more conservatively.

And guess what, the last 12 times they’ve been right.

This is another argument that isn’t the least bit controversial to a non-retard.
