Last Saturday night sucked, folks. Iowa lost a winnable game to Wisconsin and more than likely lost its chance at a Big Ten West division title, along with a second shot at winning the Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis. To make it worse, it was the last game before Iowa’s bye week, leaving no opportunity to get the bad taste of a loss out of the Hawkeyes’ mouth quickly.
But at the same time, it’s a great opportunity for the bye week for one reason: it means we get to hear from the assistant coaches in-person instead of Kirk Ferentz.
