We’ve been over this before, at least I believe it was you. I have faith you’ll figure it out

Well, none are as bad as Scott Frost's.

2010
Texas (13-20) L (7 pts)
Texas A&M (6-9) L (3 pts)
Oklahoma (20-23) L (3 pts) Big 12 Championship
Washington (7-19) L (12 pts) Holiday Bowl.

(10-4) Finish

When was the last time you were 'pleasantly surprised' by Iowa?

2015

Iowa went 19-19 the previous 3 seasons, the boosters were pressuring for Kirk Ferentz to be on the hot seat, Iowa had record low in season tickets, CJ Beathard was a 1st year starter. Iowa was supposed to finish 4th or 5th in the West, even with easy schedule.

Iowa went 12-0 during season (1st undefeated season in nearly a century), lost to MSU on last play of the game in B1GCG, and gave Christian McCaffrey a good highlight tape in the Rose Bowl.

I am not counting last season. They choked vs Northwestern (Iowa had 17-point lead in 2nd half) and lost to Purdue (who didn't have star WR or HC). I also think Wisconsin was a better team that had COVID problems and lost any hope of CCG by the time they played Iowa.

2019 was a surprise too. Went 10-3. Lost to Michigan by 7 (Michigan finished #15), Penn State by 4 (PSU finished #9), and Wisconsin by 2 (Wisconsin finished #11). Iowa beat division champ Minnesota by 4 (finished #10) and USC by 25 in Holiday Bowl. But Iowa entered season #20.

So, 2015 was last pleasant surprise.

I knew you'd go with the ONE season you won more than 10 games.

1) That schedule is VOID of Ohio St, Michigan, and Penn St.
2) Totally blown the fuck out in the Rose bowl.

Other than that 12 win season where they dodged the big 3 and got blown the fuck out in the Rose Bowl....... In the last 11 years, Iowa has only won up to 10 games ONE time and that was in 2019.

Are you 'pleasantly surprised'? LOL

I honestly thought you were gonna say winning 5 in a row against (4-8)/(5-7) Nebraska teams was your 'pleasant surprise'.

Kind of feels that way.

Oh, for a non-season surprise, it would definitely be the game vs Ohio State.

THAT was indeed a 2017 pleasant surprise.

You picked 2010 as the biggest pleasantly surprise for Nebraska. I would say that was probably the biggest disappointing seasons for Iowa. Iowa had Top 10, 11-win season in 2009 and returned a lot of their stars and had a 7-win regular season.
