We did it. We really did it. We have made it through the summer doldrums and now find ourselves on the precipice of a new year of Iowa Hawkeye football. Hope is renewed and optimism has a place amongst the Hawkeye faithful. That is, right up until things actually kick off and we lose our faith in progress.
Until then, Iowa fans can hope for better (and let’s be honest, it cannot possibly be worse, right?!?) offense and lick their chops at the return of Phil Parker’s defense. The schedule for this season sets up for another run at double-digit wins.
