As Hawkeye fans, the last 24 years of the Kirk Ferentz experience has taught most of us to manage expectations. For season results, that means looking for 7-9 wins every year, a bowl game and a push for a chance at the Big Ten title every five years or so. When it comes to media availability, we don’t expect to learn much beyond some form of a history lesson that may or may not related to Iowa. And when it comes to open practices, we know to expect very few takeaways other than the defense is ahead of the offense.
