with all of the talent at Michigan, they should be undefeated like every other year, but I'm looking forward to the Michigan/Iowa game this fall.
Going undefeated playing a Big 10 schedule is a rarity no matter how much talent you have. Throw in a couple of high caliber non-conference games and "going undefeated every other year" isn't likely, or expected.
If I lived in Iowa.....I'd look forward to just about anything sports related.

Stag,
As a transplanted Iowan I have followed the Hawks even though I'm a Cyclone alumni. This could be the year, and if Ferenz' method produces a national championship Iowa City will be the center of the universe! ESPN did a great piece on the program last week, so I'm sure it won't go unnoticed by the rest of the Big 10.
Good luck this coming season.

MinnSkinny: We just hope we can keep Ferentz for a looooooooooooooooong time. He's doing ok and has proven that his method is working. Everyone is really looking forward to this fall's college football campaign.
You mean the Big Ten might actually have a team worth talking about this year? I haven't really been following the college football scene since the end of the bowl season....I don't even know if my Seminoles will be worth a hill of beans this year.

what are you talking about,lol. we've beaten LSU and Florida the past 2 yrs in bowl games and now we're looking at bigger things. Will not mention what due to the fact I could jinx them. lol.

A joke, my friend, a joke. I know Iowa will have a nice team this year and probably a good shot at a title if the pieces fall into place in the proper way.

i know. there's not much that get's past you when it comes to sports,lol.
Actually, I sorta have a soft spot for the Hawkeyes because they seem to be stocking their rosters with players who come from a semi-local (really 60 miles away, but the nearest big-ish city and the only top high school team this area has had for a while, Cathedral Prep in Erie, PA) high school. I know Bob Sanders and Ed Hinkel both came to Iowa via Cathedral Prep, and I tend to keep an eye on local products, so I've kinda followed them for the past couple years.
Iowa better watch out for my Cardinals on September 3rd...We're going to be to prove what we can do....
Ok I just hope Ball State is going to be enough of a speed bump to slow Iowa down...I don't want another team to break 70 on us....
You may have a chance early on. We are replacing the whole front 4 on def. and some defensive backs, but offense is intact. I'm just hoping it's going to be a plug-and-play situation. lol.
