Well, I correctly predicted the outcome of all 14 Iowa games last year. So what do I think for 2022? 3-9. I think Ferentz will get Portal Raped and that the o-line is going to look like a 2A JV line going up against Dowling's or Valley's varsity d-line most weeks. It's going to be fucking bad. It won't matter who the QB is. It could be Joe Burrow. 3 wins max.
You see folks, what happened yesterday was the typical "oh shit, the luck truck just ran out of gas." Ferentz had been on a tear where he couldn't fucking lose a close game. We have seen these tears before. They are always followed by a run of about 8 fucking one possession losses in a row.
Teams that Iowa will lose to next year for sure:
Minnesota Wisconsin Michigan Illinois Braska Purdue Clowns
I'm too pissed off to even look at the rest of the schedule. Maybe we beat Northwestern and get to 4-8.

Kurt says the o line is gonna get shuffled all day. This has the makings of a 38-9 blowout in favor of the bad guys. Let me just remind you proles where we stand:
1) Dogshit o-line replacing 4 year starter at left tackle (who was backed up by a superfreak at LT (Wirfs) when he got injured in 2019)
2) Lost Nixon and Gholston on the line. Look at the rest of the starting line. It's fucking bad. I get that all of you want to blow VanValkenberg and I will admit he had some nice plays last year, but that was because the offense was so fucking focused on Nixon and Gholston that they occasionally lost track of VanValkenberg. How is he gonna look being the "Number 1" who is gonna draw the most attention in blocking schemes? I'll tell ya, he's gonna look fucking bad. He's gonna spend every snap throwing his arms and bitching at the refs trying to draw a hold. Fuck.
3) Lost the best 1-2 receiver combo we've had bince DJK and McNutt. That kid from Omaha is good, but he's a freshman. Nico Ragaini. Fuck. That Jones kid is also good, but he's more of a PR guy. Fuck. The TEs will be good.
4) RB is solid with Goodson.
5) QB is probably pretty damned good. But to go back to point 1 above, if the o line has problems, we could have Tom Fucking Brady back there and it wouldn't make a difference because the sumnabitch will be smothered before he can even get to the "pp" in "One Mississippi."
Ultimately, Iowa lives and dies in the trenches and we probably ain't good there this year. I'm actually cautiously optimistic about the back 7 on defense except that white guy in the secondary. The skill guys on offense seem decent as well.
This is gonna be bad. 38-9. Maybe 41-6. Thankfully my Tide are playing at the same time so I can turn the channel when it gets bad.

I know we like to rip on the Hawks but our defensive backfield is going to be absolutely lit and we are a marginally draftable quarterback away from turning on the faucet. The young guys at the WR and RB positions are legit AF

The young guys at the WR and RB positions are legit AF The lines are trash, breh. Sorry. Look, the d-line might make a jump, but the o-line is probably meh.

You say that, but every year there's some 2* recruit from Solon named like Pete Stiefenlautern that you've never heard of, and he suddenly becomes a beast right tackle and gets drafted #22 by the Seahawks next year.

Solon and Mount Vernon are tapped out. The next star will be from Tipton or West Liberty. But that is just one dude. Ferentz hasn't had a solid five across in half a decade, bud.

Don't sleep on Mid-Prairie, Clear Creek Amana, or Anamosa either bud. Literally every 17 year old in those areas are 6'5" 290lbs. At least one of them has to have coordination.

Don't worry, none of us was depending on your progeny taking Hawkeye sports to the next level.

Heard Burt has already started sending letters to OK4P's kid to try and steal him from Dabo.

Northwestern is getting portal raped. I think they are entering a dark era. Fitz should leave now.

said UI President Barb Wilson. “This contract reflects our commitment to Kirk and Mary as members of our Hawkeye family.”
WTF Barb Wilson is doubling down on this inbred IC culture, All hope is lost.
