It was only a matter of time before the defense couldn’t force turnovers and the offense would do Iowa offense things but I am still sad

Yeah the Hawks aren’t playing well, but the sun will come up tomorrow and they’ll get back to work. And hey, I just got married. pic.twitter.com/fdWWvnJHvG

winning all your games is really hard. while you’re right to be disappointed, I don’t know a single iowa fan who wouldn’t have taken 6-1 in the first seven with that schedule. Everyone relax and have a Mountain Dew
