It’s been a sobering week for Hawkeye fans. Well, sobering in the emotional sense. I’m not here to judge how you handle your emotions. But the Hawkeyes 2-point loss in Madison last weekend, paired with the hoops performance to kick off this week has left Iowa fans in disarray.
The Hawkeyes’ hopes for a Big Ten West crown died on the turf at Camp Randall when Nate Stanley came up a foot short on that 2-point conversion play. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Golden Gophers took down #4 Penn State to gain substantial street cred and vaulted into the top-10 themselves.
