Football Is Coming

Spring Game for Iowa football was yesterday and people are understandably SUPER-excited about this year. However, the Man himself urged caution- saying 'We're hardly there' yet.

This is why I love Kirk Ferentz. This guy has his eyes on the prize and he doesn't let himself get caught up in the fact that they went 11-2 last season and won their first major bowl title since 1959. Slow and steady wins the race for Coach Ferentz and he's interested in playing good football first and the record second, it seems like. (Because good football will get you the record.)

My prediction: if we can win at Arizona, we'll be sitting pretty going into the Big 10 schedule. Our road schedule looks a lot better this year, but we can't afford to get lazy at home with Wisconsin, Penn State, Michigan State and Ohio State to deal with. Indiana and Minnesota I think we can take- and I want REVENGE against Northwestern.

A bowl game, for sure- with a high potential for a January game if we're lucky.
