Watching McNarmara at Michigan in 2021 against us, still shocked me managed to loose that game, I would say that he’s a good fit at Iowa. Mediocre Qb for a mediocre University. We will Rhule this rivalry for the next decade!! GBR
He had a good run with Brett back then but as with Iowa, the past couple years not having a decent QB really hogtied his offense.He was Bielema’s OC from 2006-2011. They went 50-19 during that stretch.
No. Their OL sucks out loud.That’s a big pickup for them. If they had a quarterback to go with that D they’re probably a 10 win team this year
🙄Maybe Michigan wins both the east and west divisions next year
as J. Edgar Hoover said to LBJ re: the Warren Commission findings, "you must realize, Mr. President, that there will always be rumors. there will always be rumors."No I haven't but there are rumors that Brian could be leaving for the NFL after the bowl game... If I had my choice, demote Brian to offensive line coach and bring in Paul Chryst as the offensive coordinator!
This is almost as bad as the "Frost Warning" we heard for 5 years.Watching McNarmara at Michigan in 2021 against us, still shocked me managed to loose that game, I would say that he’s a good fit at Iowa. Mediocre Qb for a mediocre University. We will Rhule this rivalry for the next decade!! GBR

Im not going to claim that we will Rhule the rivalry for any amount of time. But if you're expecting MR to have a similar NU coaching career to SF I believe you're going to be very disappointed.This is almost as bad as the "Frost Warning" we heard for 5 years.
Then get the fukc off our board. Soft as charmin, and your team is just as $hitty.This is almost as bad as the "Frost Warning" we heard for 5 years.
Nah, I axed yo wife to drink-screw in the car tonight, but she told me she had a weight watchers meeting.You guys need to go have a drink or two tonight and calm down!

or as my former XO on the USS Sylvania told me, "High and tight!"as J. Edgar Hoover said to LBJ re: the Warren Commission findings, "you must realize, Mr. President, that there will always be rumors. there will always be rumors."
or as my former XO on the USS Dubuque told me, "don't ever listen to mess deck rumors."
Yet you guys suck for real every year. Makes it easy doesn't it.Something occurred to me when I saw these two Michigan cast-offs end up in Iowa City and all the talk earlier of Hausmann ending up there....when he ended up at Michigan. Is Iowa the new Scott Frost Lincoln? The "we are almost right there" good team that is destined to suck regardless who ends up there? Granted, Scott Frost teams sucked with a glimpse of hope in the future that never arrived. Kirk Ferentz teams are always good that just might be great if only you hope against hope. This year is going to be that year. For real. You almost got it. That other QB and TE from that other team is just what you will need.
and you end up taking SF, BP, R, or whoever, you don't care right up your back side. Suck is a word you guys use for everyone else while you mouth is full.Sounds like a 1:45AM, lights come on at the bar, you're drunk as hell and spot the remaining "thing" at the other side of the bar. Next thing you know you're gnawing your arm off in the morning to make the great escape while wondering how many people saw you the night before.
I call BS but the mouth breathers are going to constantly repeat the drill. New coach, new hope, same old bravado, thump chest, see results, drink beer, beat wife or whatever and make fun of other teams that suck just not as bad as you. Good lord, you folks never change which is why opposing teams love to talk smack about you. It's too easy.As a recruiting expert worldwide I expect this transfer to still make Iowa suck
"gargle, gargle, gargle, uhgh" are words you mom used last night after she gave me a $500 gift certificate to Taco Bell.and you end up taking SF, BP, R, or whoever, you don't care right up your back side. Suck is a word you guys use for everyone else while you mouth is full.
Two words, I_wa scum: Brian Ferenz. Now go to sleep.and you end up taking SF, BP, R, or whoever, you don't care right up your back side. Suck is a word you guys use for everyone else while you mouth is full.
Go polish your outback bowl trophyI call BS but the mouth breathers are going to constantly repeat the drill.

Jesus dude, it's the middle of the night and you're on another teams board. Put down the booze and go to bed or maybe find some friends. What a shit life, if this is your Saturday night. Still salty from the Iowa loss, what a pathetic LOSER!I call BS but the mouth breathers are going to constantly repeat the drill.

You’re still hurting aren’t you? Time will heal this wound but in the meantime just suck it! Scoreboard bitch! Deal with it.I call BS but the mouth breathers are going to constantly repeat the drill.

Iowa is spiraling down boys!Harbaugh never trusted him so he should fit right in at Iowa where they haven’t trusted the QB to make a play since Chuck Long
Twice, 2013 and this year…out of 11 years..Only thing that will make Iowa a winning team next year is their unique ability to dodge both Michigan and Ohio State again. How many times have they played both of those teams combined since the start of divisions?
The West Division has existed for nine seasons, and in six of those nine seasons, the winning team also avoided playing the top two teams in the East in the regular season. The exceptions were the 2018 Northwestern team that lost to UM but beat everybody in the West, and both 2016 Wisconsin, who also beat everyone in the West, and 2019 Wisconsin. For five of the nine years, the team that went undefeated vs. its West opponents won the division.Only thing that will make Iowa a winning team next year is their unique ability to dodge both Michigan and Ohio State again.

I wasnt even going on the top 2 teams in the East each year. I was just going off how many times they dont have to play OSU or Michigan (top 2 blue bloods in the conference).

WEST DIVISION CHAMPIONS vs. Top Two Teams in the East
2022 — Purdue 6-3 overall, 4-2 vs. the West (didn't play Michigan or OSU in regular season)
2021 — Iowa 7-2, 4-2 vs. the West (didn't play Michigan or OSU in regular season)
2020 — Northwestern 6-1, 5-0 vs. the West (didn't play Indiana or OSU in regular season)
2019. — Wisconsin 7-2, 5-1 vs. the West (lost to OSU but didn't play PSU during regular season)
2018 — Northwestern 8-1, 6-0 vs. the West (lost to Michigan but didn't play OSU in regular season)
2017 — Wisconsin 9-0, 6-0 vs. the West (didn't play PSU or OSU in the regular season)
2016 — Wisconsin 7-2, 6-0 vs. the West (lost to OSU but didn't play PSU in regular season)
2015 — Iowa 8-0, 6-0 vs. the West (didn't play MSU or OSU in regular season)
2014 — Wisconsin 7-1, 5-1 vs. the West (didn't play MSU or OSU in regular season)
So, the answer is to beat everybody in the West — though the current level of parity suggests that's not likely — and to avoid playing the two best teams from the East, which are almost always top 10 or better teams nationally.
Who avoids the presumed top two in the East next year, Michigan and Ohio State? Iowa. Who gets home-field advantage against the only West teams with winning records, Purdue, Minnesota and Illinois? Iowa.
BTW, Iowa and Nebraska are the only West teams that have had to play the top two East teams in the regular season:
2022 — Iowa 5-4, 4-2 vs. the West (lost to both Michigan and OSU)
2021 — Nebraska 1-8, 1-5 vs. the West (lost to both Michigan and OSU)
2018 — Nebraska 3-6, 2-4 vs. the West (lost to both Michigan and OSU)
2017 — Iowa 4-5, 3-3 vs. the West (lost to PSU but beat OSU)
2017 — Nebraska 3-6, 2-4 vs. the West (lost to PSU and OSU)
The only teams to play all three of the top East teams in the same regular season? The 2021 Cornhuskers played top 10 OSU, UM and MSU that season. The 2017 Hawkeyes played the top three that year, also losing to Michigan State in addition to Michigan and beating OSU.
joe friday factsI wasnt even going on the top 2 teams in the East each year. I was just going off how many times they dont have to play OSU or Michigan (top 2 blue bloods in the conference). Which is as follows.
Iowa has played them both in the same season (not counting CCG as those arent scheduled) 2 times since 2011.
Iowa has played one of the two teams 5 times since 2011.
Iowa has had 4 years where they didn't play either one of those 2 teams.
Nebraska has played them both in the same season 4 times.
Has played one of the two teams 6 times.
Has had 2 years where they didnt play either one of them.
Iowa will do good this next season as they have a cupcake schedule for the 5th time. Then they will get blown out in the CCG again by OSU or Michigan and once again be the Fake ID of college football.
