Schedule

10/24 - Purdue (Lincoln):  Purdue sucks, this will be an easy win.
10/31 - Northwestern (Evanston):  They are going to be horrible
11/7 - Illinois (Lincoln):  Last year was their year, downhill now.
11/14 - Ohio State (Columbus). Super loaded, big L
11/21 - Penn State (Lincoln). Not as impressed with PSU as others but still a L
11/28 - Iowa (Lincoln) **11/27**. They are not good.
12/5 - Wisconsin (Madison). Nothing special and home games don't matter this year
12/12 - Minnesota (Lincoln):  Not a good team.  Super lucky though!

3 losses max.

Have to turn the corner and beat Iowa. Just have to. I think it's extremely hard to say how good Minnesota's going to be.

Those two games are the season outcome-makers.

 
Would love to OPEN vs Iowa.

New QB for them vs pent-up frustrations and desire for the Huskers.

Plus, all the off -season reporting suggests HCSF has put us in excellent position right out of the gate.

Hopeful for 6-2. Never thought I would be so optimistic for a 6 win season. 

 
FAKE "leaked" Squawkeye schedule and Wisconsin's:

While the shortened schedule means nearly all games will be with division opponents, the schedule-makers did the Hawkeyes no favors. Here’s a look at the leaked 2020 Iowa football schedule:

October 24th - Illinois
October 31st - @Northwestern
November 7th - Purdue
November 14th - Nebraska
November 20th (Friday) - @Minnesota
November 28th - Penn State
December 5th - @Ohio State
December 12th - @Wisconsin.

But perhaps the most frustrating thing is how Iowa’s schedule stacks up to division rival Wisconsin. Take a look:

October 24th - Maryland
October 31st - @Purdue
November 7th - @Illinois
November 14th - Minnesota
November 21st - @Northwestern
November 28th - Nebraska
December 5th - @Rutgers
December 12th - Iowa

Yes, I'd 100% rather feel this way than what I was feeling with no football hope, ha.

We have about two weeks till practice starts.

What the sports media needs to do is at that point, talk football.  I don't want to be into the second week in September and still talking about the COVID delay.  It happened.  It sucked. So much of it was stupid.  But...it happened.  Let's get over it and start talking about football the way it normally is...about players, schemes, potential starters, when the blackshirts are going to be handed out, what's happening with the teams on our schedules...etc.

I'm just so sick of all of this.  We need normal football reporting and talk.

So, the fake Wisconsin schedule aside, they're complaining that they have to play Penn State and Ohio State in the same year?

Have they never looked at our schedules?

Ha. We'll see what happens.

I don't think there's enough player development on the offensive line to expect a lot - but I think we'll be on Iowa's level. And as I said above it's really hard for me to tell how much drop-off or no drop-off Minnesota will have so I have no idea what to expect out of that game.

But, they were way better than us last season.

I'd be tickled pink if we ended up with only 3 losses with that schedule although I think 4-4 would be a lot more likely. Hoping to get to a .500 season no matter how many games we end up playing or who they are against.
