Top 3 in no order Fitz, Dantonio, Chryst.

I agree. If I had a B1G football caliber son, I would urge him to play for one of those three coaches. Fitzgerald, Dantonio, and Chryst seem to have a knack for maximizing/developing talent.

Over under for Mike Hart's little brother comment being mentioned set at 5.5
I’m going with the over and my guess is they will completely overlook the fact that Michigan tried to have MSU blackballed.

Convince me Iowa fans. Nate Stanley does not win you games, but he does not lose you games.

@ Iowa State playing well lately under their coach, have a QB, in state rivalry brings out the best in both teams

@ Michigan no way you win this game

Penn State no McSorley but still a battle. But I think Iowa wins this unless Michigan gives Iowa key injuries

Purdue no David Blough, I think you win but it is not an easy win. After two tough games, you might be susceptible

@ Northwestern no Clayton Thorson but you still are on the road against a team that you lost your last three games against. Fitzgerald might have your number.

@ Wisconsin - Jonathon Taylor is still there. This is always a good game between your two teams 2017 Iowa lost badly in Madison

Minnesota Once Minnesota fired their DC, their defense changed. This is not an easy win for anyone in the West in my opinion.

@ Nebraska - Iowa won't win this year. I already have a wager with @iowajerms

In my opinion, you have a chance at losing seven games. But you have five wins for sure.

Your six game gauntlet of @Michigan, Penn State, Purdue, @Northwestern, @Wisconsin, Minnesota defines your season.

Best case scenario 8-4
Worst Case Scenario 5-7

Teenage girls are probably the most dangerous animal on the planet for adult men. He got kicked off the team and then expelled from the university, over some regrets of 2 teenage girls...that is some crap...

I would agree Iowa's worst case is 5-7.

IOWA STATE - I am not as worried as I probably should be, but I don't see Iowa overlooking Iowa State. Iowa has not only Stanley, but 3 returning RBs, one of the better returners in the B1G, and probably the best pass rusher in the country. Iowa kept ISU out of the endzone last season, and they had Montgomery and Butler.

MICHIGAN - Iowa has won 5 of their last 6 matchups. Jim Harbaugh has never beaten Iowa as a player or as a coach. Is Michigan better? Yes. But I would say they have been in most of the last 6 matchups. That being said, I have Iowa losing this game.

PENN STATE - Home makes as big difference. Iowa was very close to beating them in Kinnick 2 years ago, when they had Barkley and McSorley. I have Iowa going 1-1 vs PSU and Wisconsin. Leaning more to the being the win.

PURDUE - agree with you.

NORTHWESTERN - Iowa should dominate this game. NW lost a lot and it was a very close game last season. I think Iowa wins, but it will be like Nebraska-Iowa game last year.

WISCONSIN - Iowa has not found the answer to Jonathan Taylor. Hopefully Iowa's LBs improve enough because I don't think we can rely on the DL enough to stop him. Like I said with PSU, 1-1 vs PSU and Wisconsin while leaning Wisconsin winning.

MINNESOTA - I disagree with you. They are still trying to connect to PJ's philosophy. I am not worried about this one.

NEBRASKA - eh

I wonder if he tries to get reinstated.

I don't think he will. He wasn't allowed to give his side of the story on the expulsion inquiry and sued the university, which he then dropped. My guess is he feels that they didn't offer him justice so he is jaded. Just my opinion.
