Let's guess the outcome of the upcoming Hokk FB season, shall we? I'll go first. 2014
August
30 Northern Iowa: W, but scary close, just liek last time. September
6 Ball State: W, easy. 13 Iowa State: W, because Kinnick. 20 at Pittsburgh: L. You know it will be. 27 at Purdue: W, easy; they rly suck taint. October
4 buh Bye 11 Indiana: W, easy; they rly suck taint. 18 at Maryland: W, but closer than it should be; the fighting Van Peezies will be quicker than teh Hox. 25 another buh Bye November
1 Northwestern: W, because (and only because) Kinnick. 8 at Minnesota: L. Kill kills kurt. 15 at Illinois: W, but closer than it should be because Bruce Pearl. 22 Wisconsin: L. 28 Nebraska: W...again...and might be the final nail in pelini's coffin. 9-3 reg'lar season, but wiscy wins the West div so no BoneG championship game for kert n gerg.Bowl guessstupid fucking Outback again, and don't anyone try to tell me it's a "big" bowl or that Tampa is "awesome", because both of those claims are demonstrably false and total bullshit. I think 9-3 as well. As for da bowl don't forget it's a huge clusterfuck this year and the fact that we just played in the Outback bowl would probably land us in the Cap One or Holiday bowl that share the 2 to 4 selection spot wit da Outback now. Or if der is a lot of 9-3 (or better) B1G teams, my guess we in da Gator Bowl.

Yah, I looked at the bowl alignments for this post-season and it's about as clear as mud. Doesn't matter to me tho, as I will never pay my own personal money to attend a bowl game. Not even teh Rose Bowl. Yeah, I said it. It's highly unlikely that you will have to not make that decision anyway.

September - agreed October - wrong cuz we gonna lose to Indiana, but now that their one QB transferred, I may reconsider my gut reaction; I know nothing 'bout Maryland, but we'll definitely lose one of those October games November - Northwestern is a coin toss. 18 starters returning but it all hinges on their QB situation; prolly lose 3 in November - gonna have a couple o-line injuries that just cripple the shit out of the offense
7-5 best case. Hox always shit the fucking bed when they have a cake walk schedule. Always.

I wonder if this will be any better than last years predictions. Or basketball predictions.

I wonder if this will be any better than last years predictions. Or basketball predictions. Iowa wasn't very good last year, but fortunately for us most of the Big Ten sucked donkey balls. I mean, we got fucking beat by a god damned MAC team for fucks sake and still managed to eek out 5 conference wins.

Honestly this year is much more difficult to predict than last year. I fink offensively we will be a bit better, and we will prolly take a small step back on defense just wif the turnover in the back seven. That would lead me to look at another 8-4 type season. That said you gotta factor in the schedule. Now normally I don't, cause sos is WAAAAY fucking over rated by the average message board fuck stick. Its like the first thing a jackass says to try and impress his buddies with is game nowledge. Due to teams turning over 20-25% of their rosters annually there is way to much fluidity in who's good and who's bad from year to year. Even guys who devote their lives to being the best at predictions (like Phil Steele and Deace) only tread water. Fuck I remember when everyone was bitching about the schedule in 02 and about how we was gonna take a step back cause the conference slate was so ball busting and then we go and run the fucking table, then a few years down the road everyone says the schedule sets up great and we fat fucking cat shit the fucking bed. All that outta the way this year is a bit different as I gotta think that soft schedule adds one win to our total minimum. So I guess put me in the 9-3 boat as well.
All that out of the way this team actually has a shot to finish the regular season in the top ten. Now I don't for a second fink they are top ten worthy, but if they can get through the first four 3-1 and the back seven gets a little seasoning, I could actually see them run 7-1 through league play, especially if our offense can be dynamic in spots, and i fink they could be.

Jake Rudock will go down as the best QB in the Frents era. Better than Banks, Tate, or even Beutjer.

Greetings Frank Booth,
While 9-3 would usually indicate a very successful season, the Big Ten(14) has been severely lacking in recent times. A 9-3 record may have a different feel depending on how the other teams in the conference perform as well as how we perform in the games we'd lose.
Regards, Ed

Hello Frank Booth,
Below I have adjusted to my guesses with simple W/L. I tend to be optimistic prior to the season. We will likely lose a game that I would think is a definite W.
6 Ball State: W 13 Iowa State: W 20 at Pittsburgh: L 27 at Purdue: W
October
11 Indiana: W 18 at Maryland: W
November
1 Northwestern: W 8 at Minnesota: W 15 at Illinois: L 22 Wisconsin: L 28 Nebraska: W

Not gonna happen buy I am sure it will piss of da Clowns- Five sleeper picks to make inaugural College Football PlayoffTo label any team as “this year’s Auburn” – a power conference team coming off of a shockingly dismal campaign in the prior season – I’d be forced to select from the following entries: Arkansas, Cal, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina State, Purdue and Virginia. Sorry Bret Bielema, but I just don’t think the Razorbacks are playoff-bound this year. Here are five unranked teams in the preseason Coaches’ Poll that could make a surprising push for the College Football Playoff. Iowa – 8-5 (5-3) in 2013 Losses in three of its first five conference games kept Iowa from having any shot in the Big Ten title race last year, but the Hawkeyes quietly put together a significant leap from a 4-8 campaign in 2012 and held their own with LSU in the 2014 Outback Bowl. Iowa returns 14 starters, including quarterback Jake Rudock (2,383 yards, 18 touchdowns, 13 interceptions), power running back Mark Weisman (975 yards, 4.3 yards per carry, eight touchdowns) and wide receivers Kevonte Martin-Manley and Tevaun Smith (64 combined receptions, 698 yards, six touchdowns). Those offensive returnees could be crucial as the Hawkeyes lose all three linebackers from last year’s talented corps, but standout defensive tackle Carl Davis and cornerback Desmond King will help to fill a leadership void while the new linebackers gain experience. The biggest reason to be bullish on Iowa is a shockingly easy schedule. The Hawkeyes miss Ohio State, Michigan State and Michigan in their divisional crossover games and get Big Ten West rivals Wisconsin and Nebraska at home. Iowa has all the makings of a classic Big Ten team with a cakewalk schedule that endlessly frustrates a one-loss SEC team’s fan base as the Hawkeyes pile on wins on their way to the playoff. www.si.com/college-football/2014/08/04/college-football-playoff-sleepers-florida-iowa

Tampa is a fucking paradise, you piece of shit!! You are fucking right. Tell me again how fucking sub zero temps, 30 inches of snow and fucking 40 mph winds is the little slice of paradise? 2014 August 30 Northern Iowa: Win, UNI is in the game to the 3rd quarter. September 6 Ball State: W, easy. 13 Iowa State: W, because Kinnick. And because I am at the fucking game drunk. 20 at Pittsburgh: W. Pitt sucks the titty too hard again and loses. 27 at Purdue: W, easy. October 4 buh Bye 11 Indiana: W, not an easy win. They put up a ton of points and we barely hold on. 18 at Maryland: W. 25 another buh Bye November 1 Northwestern: W, because (and only because) Kinnick. - agree 8 at Minnesota: W. hawkeye fans are everywhere talking way too much smack. 15 at Illinois: W, but closer than it should be because Bruce Pearl. 22 Wisconsin: L. 28 Nebraska: L. 10-2 reg'lar season, but Iowa loses in the B1g champ game. We talk about what could have been and how much KF is overpaid again. OSU laughs. Bowl guess stupid fucking Outback again, and don't anyone try to tell me it's a "big" bowl or that Tampa is "awesome", because both of those claims are demonstrably false and total bullshit. Agree with 1, disagree with 2. Hawkeye fans go swimming in freezing (65 degree or so water temps - get drunk on beach and enjoy a good time in tampa strip clubs. Party at Master blasters house is fucking awesome. Think bon fire, booze and more booze. Fucking panzy ass whiners can stay the fuck home.
