[u/Moose4KU]

They've got a very real chance to go 11-1 and make the playoffs (or maybe 12-0 please don't use spooky kinnick magic on us next week)

[u/thatissomeBS → u/Moose4KU]

Is it time to start talking to your kids about an undefeated Iowa?

[u/notanamateur → u/thatissomeBS]

If we win next week 100%

[u/affnn → u/notanamateur]

Even if we win next week that Friday night Washington game is a scheduled loss. Unless UW is way worse than I think.

[u/StrongStyleShiny → u/affnn]

I got some good news for you.…

[u/XCCO → u/affnn]

Yeah, I'm still nervous about playing at Washington.

[u/roguebananah → u/notanamateur]

Make that 401k out to Fan Duel

[u/miversen33 → u/roguebananah]

Got a better chance on NKE mooning between now and the game lol

[u/ThanksForTheF-Shack → u/notanamateur]

There’s not a fucking snowballs chance in hell Iowa wins next week …. unless 🤔🤔

[u/MrBellows7 → u/ThanksForTheF-Shack]

Just remember 2017 when Urban Meyer and Ohio State came into Kinnick and we won 55-24. Maybe we can have some more Kinnick magic next weekend.

[u/Devils-Avocado → u/MrBellows7]

What's Josh Jackson doing? Get his ass to IC

[u/elgenie → u/MrBellows7]

This situation is more akin to the week after that game, when the Iowa offense gained like 50 yards at Wisconsin.

[u/living-the-life2022 → u/notanamateur]

Easy. You aren’t winning next week.

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/living-the-life2022]

Your opinion is as valid as your flair

[u/Feisty-Life-6555 → u/thatissomeBS]

[u/Comfortable_Sea9308 → u/thatissomeBS]

Maybe even legendary #2 Iowa?!?

[u/elgenie → u/Moose4KU]

This team isn't actually good, but it is 4-0.

[u/Mutant-Ninja-Skrtels → u/elgenie]

None of them ever are, but we accept them

[u/kinglallak → u/Mutant-Ninja-Skrtels]

And yet, you will once again play some SEC in a decent bowl game while both teams are 9-3 and ranked around 15-20… and beat them by two touchdowns, with your defense having scored 2 touchdowns.

[u/iNsAnEHAV0C → u/kinglallak]

And the SEC team saying they didn't really want to be there and didn't care despite playing their starters

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/iNsAnEHAV0C]

Which is why I root for a team and not a conference.

[u/_Nakho → u/kinglallak]

Making sure the under hits too

[u/Tommy05Sox → u/elgenie]

Yeah they can drop a number of games left on the schedule. But it feels REALLY good to have a close game against a ranked opponent go our way after last season.

[u/rdxj → u/Tommy05Sox]

No kidding. 4 losses, all to ranked opponents, all by less than 5 points. It was an excruciating time being an Iowa fan last year.

[u/Cameronam → u/Tommy05Sox]

Calling it right now NU is gonna be a scary game

[u/JoeIA84 → u/Tommy05Sox]

At NW when we’re having a great year seems like a good spot for a dick punch loss

[u/AlternativeDirt6124 → u/elgenie]

yeah but the fact that the offense marched down the field in the clutch and pulled it off means we're in uncharted territory.

[u/2-59project → u/elgenie]

After watching Texas, Indiana, ole Miss, and several others I’m not sure anyone is good this year. B10 champ Iowa here we come

[u/_BlueBoyz → u/elgenie]

They have potential to grow into good.

[u/IronClu → u/elgenie]

Same as it ever was

[u/ReceptionHealthy2344 → u/elgenie]

Dumb comment of the day

[u/Agile_Alternative753 → u/elgenie]

As always.

[u/BrotherMichigan → u/Moose4KU]

They may not need the spooky magic for us this year...

[u/Cowgoon777 → u/BrotherMichigan]

Or hopefully they just blew their wad against TTUN

[u/Wampus_Cat_ → u/Cowgoon777]

They were only cleaning out the pipes in this one. Next week is the big load.

[u/B-Edward-Griffin → u/Cowgoon777]

Gonna be hard not to have a let down game after that. Very very glad it’s Kinnick

[u/ExpFilm_Student → u/Cowgoon777]

It’s not a night game the curse doesnt play!

[u/do_you_know_doug → u/Cowgoon777]

Look, we knocked them down a bit for u, least we can get is a rollover next week.

[u/gmen6981 → u/BrotherMichigan]

At least it's not a night game. I think that evil Kinnick JuJu only works at night.

[u/Fickle-Newspaper-445 → u/gmen6981]

The last game OSU played at Kinnick was a 3:30 start

[u/Sunshiny_Day → u/Fickle-Newspaper-445]

55-24?

[u/BlechPanther → u/Sunshiny_Day]

I was there for that game. I will never go to Kinnick again 😭

[u/miversen33 → u/BlechPanther]

Right but, maybe you can go this weekend? Please?

[u/BlechPanther → u/miversen33]

[u/Due_Rope_6061 → u/Moose4KU]

Iowa did not play particularly well in this game. Their opponent was just incredibly undisciplined. Between the kick return TD allowed and all the unforced errors/penalties, UM worked hard to avoid going home with a win today.

They were super undisciplined against WMU and Oklahoma too. I think both these teams are decent but neither is sniffing the playoff.

[u/SimilarOnion1655 → u/Moose4KU]

1000%

[u/BallsDeepinYourMammi → u/Moose4KU]

We don’t control when it decides to show up

[u/c-razzle → u/Moose4KU]

Possibly?

Sees SpoilerMakers

[u/RepresentativeYam390 → u/Moose4KU]

It’s a damn crime that it won’t be a prime time game

[u/Healzya → u/Moose4KU]

If we somehow beat you we will lose to someone like Northwestern

[u/Feisty-Life-6555 → u/Moose4KU]

Don't worry you're probably safe. It's a not a night game. If it is it'll be like the last 5 minutes

[u/Important_Wheel_2101 → u/Moose4KU]

They’re fucking terrible, that was a gift.

[u/MrBellows7 → u/Moose4KU]

We just need a repeat of 2017 next week.

[u/meyer_33_09 → u/Moose4KU]

Bro there’s no universe where Iowa wins next week lol.

[u/kevon218 → u/meyer_33_09]

I remember 2017, do you?

[u/BriarsandBrambles → u/kevon218]

Jeremiah Smith would simply pick up the intercepting DB and carry him into the end zone for a touchdown.

[u/GoatPaco → u/BriarsandBrambles]

Touchdown Seahawks

[u/meyer_33_09 → u/kevon218]

This ain’t Urban’s team anymore.

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/meyer_33_09]

Because Urban Meyer and Ryan Day are different people?
