The Iowa football team is like a low-risk, steady stock. They’re the perfect stock to invest in if you don’t want to worry about losing a lot of money. If six wins is the line between making money and losing money, the Hawkeyes almost always win money or at least break even in the Kirk Ferentz era.
The Hawks have won less than six games just three times in Kirk’s twenty years at the helm with two of those coming in his first two seasons in Iowa City.
There are also occasional moments of high volatility upwards.
