This is interesting...

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

When thinking of Iowa I've always thought of big, burly, corn fed boys from the midwest. At least that's the way they used to be. They have obviously done something right to get where they are. This may be one part of it.

You right, they did do something right.

They avoided playing Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, & Penn State.

haha. I didn't think about that. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do this weekend. No avoiding now.

Sheesh, this isn't even being an SEC bigot. This is just finding it ridiculous that somehow a Big 10 team avoids playing the only teams in the Big 10 that have players that run under a 4.8

Lol...True

[Dallas_Dawg]

I haven't watched them play but I bet they have a big physical O line and run the damn football. They would stomp our asses all over Scott Field

It's terrible that this is the truth.

They put O linemen in the NFL every year, dipshit

Nah, I believe we'd beat them. We match up well with that style of football.

Remember when Arkansas had the BIG O LINE THAT RUN THE DAMN FOOTBALL and they only ran it for 60 something yards on us?

I watched Iowa play & they are basically what Georgia, without Chubb, is this year. Solid defense & but very vanilla everywhere else. I think Arkansas would beat Iowa

With us this year, it's so much about the matchup. Iowa is middle of the pack in the Big 10 in sacks & dead last in tackles for loss on defense. I'm going to take those stats as meaning they don't possess quality pass rusher or disruptive d-linemen. If so, that means our Sunbelt O-line would give Dak time & we'd probably score 30+ points. I think we'd beat them due to the matchup

"I havnt watched them play but..."

Damn, if that isnt the preamble to the group of fans that need to just get the hell out of our fanbase, i dont know what would be.

So you haven't seen them play and they would stomp us? Wow... I have seen them play and they wouldn't finish 500 in the sec if they were in the west.

This is possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read. Bravo sir. Bravo

[smootness]

I like any team like this who threatens to break through and make a splash nationally, so I'm totally fine that they avoided these teams. Obviously they'll have to prove themselves this weekend.

But the problem is that the Big Ten put those 4 teams in the same division...that was really dumb. Nebraska hasn't been Nebraska in years, so it was dumb to treat them like they were still great. And while Wisconsin has had a really good run for quite a while, the 3 best programs the Big Ten has are Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State...you don't put them on the same side. Then you have Michigan State on a historic run, and this is what you get.

They finished undefeated in the big 10, I don't care who they did or didn't play.
They put players in the NFL every single year.
They are coached by Kirk Ferentz who was wanted by every NFL opening and major job for years before people figured out he wasn't leaving.
They usually kick the sec's ass in bowl games every year.
Lay off assholes, we aren't that good this year. We beat a shitty auburn team and won on a fluke play against Arkansas.
Iowa would kick our asses

But you haven't watched them play... so.... yeah....

Also, we put players in the NFL every year too. That has to be one of the dumbest reasons they would beat us. We play against 8 teams ever year who put players in the NFL..

But by all means, go on loving Iowa without watching them. Strange relationship for sure

[smootness]

I really like Ferentz. They had totally collapsed under Fry, then they won 1 game in his first season there. 3 years later, they won 11 and went to the Orange Bowl, then followed it up with 2 more 10-win seasons. Just an incredible job.

They've now settled into what they will be, which is a team that will basically go to a bowl every year and win 8-9 every 2-3 years with the occasional 10+ wins and BCS bowl appearance.

They lost the last 2 bowl games against the SEC and I think like 1-3 for the last 4. Beat So Car in like 2008 or 2010.

[SDDawg]

I'll believe Iowa is good when they beat someone. They may, but right now we're all waiting to see it...

We will find out this weekend.. I think Michigan State destroys them

Dang, I wonder how they ever survived if their coach was wanted by every NFL team that had an opening. I mean how do you recruit with that baggage every year?? And that happened for years, wow I am impressed.

That doesn't sound too bad...
