Except, and this is just semantics, we had a winning streak of 20 or 21 from 1921-1923. But yes. This has been unbelievable, and today was just amazing. The kid from Keokuk and the rest of his mates made the country stand up and take notice. I have a very good friend in Florida that is a Husker fan but also a closet Hawkeye fan. He said that the radio people down there are saying that Iowa is a top 5 team next year. We got two games left and it only gets better from here.

believed was possible. We’ve had an historic year full of memories that I will treasure forever.

The future looks very bright and I can’t wait to being the next winning streak!

That was an amazing game. Would have loved to be there. I usually crawl into a hole after losses. But this year, I have somehow taken them in stride.

Way to go Mandenburg. I look forward to seeing more of you this week against Minnesota and then ruling in 2011.

Stross, me no like you.

The most fun i have ever had as an iowa fan. week in and week out i become prouder to call myself an Iowan. You guys here are a big reason this has been so much fun. I was sitting at a hockey game yesterday after the game and thinking “i have never been prouder after a Hawkeye loss.” Of course i felt bad for those kids but the heart they played with was just unbelievable. Vandenburg made the entire state of Iowa proud and i cannot imagine how the people of Keokuk must feel after watching one of their native sons almost lead Iowa to one of their most important victories in recent memory. Thanks to everyone here and all the Hawkeye fans, players and coaches. Again, this has been one of the best years of my life. GO HAWKS.

I was pretty pissed off with the “suspect” playcalling at the end of the game, but the Big Televen should be worried about the team that is growing in Iowa City. After the booze wore off, and getting to see ND lost to Pitt, I am very happy with how yesterday went. For Vandenberg to walk into Columbus and have the kind of game he had after barely touching the ball all season, that is impressive. I’ll sound like a typical Cubs fan, next year is going to be amazing. I cannot remember an Iowa team with the kind of depth we appear to have at the key positions, and that will do us well in the years to come.

The future looks bright for this team. Thinking of what might have been (better play calling, better hands, better kicking) can be frustrating, but this team has exceeded wild expectations. If we look decent against Minny, don’t be surprised if we get a shot to prove something on the national BCS stage. After that, Spring ball should be very competitive and the home schedule is set up nicely. 2010 could be another special year. Go Hawks!

As a Penn State fan, I was pulling for you to win, even though an Ohio State win would serve my team better. I think your team has done an excellent job this year and this blog has made it easy to like your fans. You can hold your heads high after Saturday’s game. I hope that the more deserving team (Iowa) gets the 2nd BCS bowl game this year!

does make me pretty hopeful.

Really grateful for being able to experience THIS season as my first on BHGP. This place is awesome in every way, shape, and form. You guys rule! GO HAWKEYES!!!!!!!
