I think even if we can't manage a split in the big ten wins wise. I'd like to see us continue to grow, either way next year I'm not worried we have some amazing talent that just needs time. Plus bringing in at least one post player that may get some time first year will help.

I love the young talent and the athleticism. I also like what is in the pipeline. It's going to be a bright future the next 4+seasons

This season is not about how they finish 2017. It is about how they finish 2018, 2019, and 2020. All of Pemsl, Bohannon, and Cook look like bona fide B1G players to build around for those years.

While poor recruiting has us in this mess, better recruiting leaves the future bright. Plus, the experience this young group is getting is invaluable. People need to realize that most of the 4 stars we are getting are good not great. Combined they have a lot of potential

They are young and have the potential to be pretty good. It is important to give them time to gel and get the schemes. I'm excited for the future!

The individual skill level of the players continues to increase, so as long as they gel as a team, the future is bright.

Other than the defense (which will eventually come together), this team is so fun to watch. Plus, Cook being injured actually helps to make the other guys step up. This team will be fun to watch for the next few seasons!

6 1/2 years in, Fran still has no discernable offensive strategy. He continues to recruit...well..."less-than-intense" players who get pushed around and seem to lack killer instinct. And point guard....yes, Fran, it's still an important position for most coaches. I've seen enough.

More surprising: 2015 Iowa: 12-0 -OR- 2016: winning final 3?

12-0 is 12-0. Something Iowa hadn't ever done before or seen coming. Iowa winning the last 3 games may be surprising but it shouldn't have been completely unexpected since we all thought they should have been capable of it before the season. Nobody thought 12-0 was remotely possible before last yr.

You have to remember where Iowa football was going into the 2015 season. A lot, and I mean a LOT of long-time alumni had given up their season tickets. The stack of complaint letters and such to Barta were staggering. NOBODY saw 12-0 coming. This year, it is only what we had expected all season.

THEY PLAYED PRETTY BAD IN THOSE LOSSES BUT TO BEAT MICHIGAN THEM DOMINATING NEBRASKA I TRULY THINK WE COULD COMPETE AGAINST OHIOSTATE AND WIN ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE DEFENSE

12-0 was at ride, but not absurdly shocking considering the schedule. 3-0 after the PSU debacle and still no consistent passing game? holy cow!

After the beatdown they received by Penn State I didn't see them winning another game.
