Records don't mean shit

And this is why KF has a lifetime contract and Nebraska fired 9 win Bo.

Iowa fans have different expectations.
Sort of like Kansas fans.
They also had a couple of “successful” seasons once.

Records don't mean shit. Success for P5 teams is based on how often you're relevant nationally . No one cares if you went 10-4 instead of 8-5. There are kids going to college this year who have never seen a CFB season where Nebraska was relevant nationally . They're 10 years away from being Minnesota without the cool city to recruit too .

I'm sure all the Iowa recruits are jacked about that time their great grand dad saw Iowa win a NC.

No but they know they're going to a place where they e got a good shot at being on at least one nationally relevant team .

Let me ask you this

Next 5 years

Oregon goes 44-22. Finishes top 10 one time and makes 2 NY6 bowls

Washington goes 46-20 with no top 10s and no NY6 bowls

Who's been more successful ?

The team that lost the Rose Bowl 16 - 45?

LMFAO!!!

 

[rmilia1]

Not the team that lost the Rose Bowl 16 - 45

LMFAO!!!

Yeah it's much better to lose the Music City Bowl 38-24 then not go bowling for 2 years .

The 2nd team.

The 2nd team.

So you think FSU had a better season than Oregon in 2014 ( for example )

 

[Red_Alert]

Yeah it's much better to lose the Music City Bowl 38-24 then not go bowling for 2 years .

Congratulations. You were the 2nd tallest midget the year you went undefeated in the 'regular season' for the first time since 1922.

Michigan St won the Big 10 and got smoked by Alabama (38-0) in the CFP.
Runner up Iowa got smoked (45-16) by Stanford in the Rose Bowl.

Let's have a look-see at Iowa's national relevance.

Iowa beat

Illinois St (FCS)
Iowa St (3-9)
Pitt (8-5)...Score 27-24 who lost to Navy (44-28) in their bowl game.
North Texas (1-11)
Wisconsin (10-3) Beat USC (23-21) in their bowl game.
Illinois (5-7)
Northwestern (10-3) Lost to Tennessee (45-6) in their bowl game.
Maryland (3-9)
Indiana (6-7)
Minnesota (6-7)
Purdue (2-10)
Nebraska (6-7)

NOTE: Iowa DID NOT play Ohio St, Michigan, or Penn St....... and lost to Mich St in CCG.
As I pointed out before... "When Iowa has a double digit winning season they've either dodged the tougher teams or it is a down year for what are typically the tougher teams."

I give you credit for Iowa winning the one tough game they had against Wisconsin by a score of (10-6).
That same Wisconsin beat shitty (6-7) Nebraska by a score of (23-21).
.

 

[Red_Alert]

BTW... Wisconsin had 4 turnovers in that (10-6) Iowa win.

Total yards
Wiscy: 320
Iowa: 221

First Downs
Wiscy: 21
Iowa: 14

ROTFL

Yep that's one of the 5 seasons Iowa has finished top 10 since Nebraska's last top 10. Good times . You think I care who we beat? I'd rather go 12-2, finish top 10 and lose the Rose Bowl than go 5-7 or 4-8. Ultimately Iowa was 20 seconds away from going to the playoff . Nebraska hasn't sniffed anything like that in forever . You keep hanging on to history no recruit cares about . We will just keep kicking your ass

Yet people use 'Iowa 2.0' as an insult to Nebraska.

You seem triggered.

[TheReal_NU]

Ultimately Iowa was 20 seconds away from going to the playoff .

Where they would have lost by 7 touchdowns.

But it’s a success by Iowa standards. We get it*











*not really. I was just saying that because I think it’s cute when Iowa fan tries to football.
You just want to pat them on the head and tell them they were winners because they tried.

Doesn't change the point . Kids getting recruited now have seen Iowa be relevant . They've never seen Nebraska matter . Youre no different from Purdue , Minnesota, Illinois or Rutgers

Then why does your recruiting suck so bad?
Iowa is 23 spots behind Nebraska*
You did beat Utah and Cal though.








*but you tried

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

So you think FSU had a better season than Oregon in 2014 ( for example )

Same number of wins. Oregon demolished them H2H. A longer timeframe would give you a better indicator.

Pretty much this.

Kids couldn't give 2 shits about Iowa football...unless you have cancer and that shitstain on the field out the window is the only thing you have to look at.

2019 Team Rankings (247)

Iowa: 41st (85.94 ave)

LMAO!!!

Not really . You stated record trumps all. 13-1 is better than 13-2. Don't backpedal now . Stick to your guns
