Congratulations.
To the national media which has been proclaiming Iowa as overrated since the moment they jumped into the top-5, congratulations.
To the fans of other teams screaming at their TVs the last several weeks that Iowa didn’t belong, congratulations.
To the pessimists among the Iowa fanbase who have been (not so) quietly been waiting for this team to fall on their face, congratulations.
You were all right. Take your victory lap. Remind the world how brilliant you are. Get it out of your system. Or don’t, we’ve got two weeks to wallow in our sorrows after that miserable showing from your no longer second-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes.
