Iowa vs. LSU since 2000 & Reasons to dislike Iowa
Posted on 12/31/13 at 1:46 pm

I’m not feeling it in the air just yet for this game. Let’s get the know Iowa a little better and look for reasons to dislike them.
First this year, we all pretty much know the story. 8-4 with losses to decent teams (Northern Illinois, Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin). Wins come over Nebraska, Michigan, Northwestern.
Going a little farther back, since 2000:
Iowa is 19-32 vs. teams ranked at end of season (includes MSU, OSU, UW this year)
Average ranking (coaches & AP) of their top ten best wins since 2000:
2003 Michigan 6.5
2008 Penn State 8
2009 Penn State 8.5
2002 Michigan 9
2011 Michigan 10.5
2003 Miami Ohio 11
2009 Georgia Tech 13
2010 Michigan St 14
2005 Wisconsin 15
2002 Penn St 15.5
Average rank for those victories: 14.1
Average Rank for losses: 14.04
They have 37 losses to unranked teams over that span; 2.64/year (including NIU this year)
Arguably the 3 worst losses:
2011 Minnesota (3-9)
2010 Minnesota (3-9)
2007 Iowa State (3-9)
Notable Season:
2002: Big 10 Co-Champions, No. 5 in BCS, Lost Orange Bowl, No. 8 Final Ranking
2003: No. 8 Final Ranking
2004: Big 10 Co-Champions, No. 8 Final Rankings
2008: No. 20 Final Ranking
2009: Won Orange Bowl, No. 7 Final Ranking
Results vs. SEC in Bowl Games:
2008 W, South Carolina, Outback Bowl
2005: L, Florida, Outback Bowl
2004: W, LSU, Capital One Bowl
2003: W, Florida, Outback Bowl
For LSU:
35-31 vs. Ranked Teams since 2000
Arguably 10 strongest wins since 2000
2011 Alabama 1
2013 Auburn 2
2003 Oklahoma 3
2001 Tennessee 4
2011 Oregon 4
2007 Ohio State 4.5
2011 Arkansas 5
2012 Texas A&M 5
2003 Georgia 6.5
2003 Georgia 6.5
Average rank of opponent in win: 12.3
Average rank of opponent in loss: 8.8
LSU has 9 losses to unranked teams over that span; .7/year (including Ole Miss this year)
Arguably the 3 worst losses:
2008 Arkansas (5-7)
2000 Arkansas (6-6)
2005 Tennessee (5-6)
Notable Seasons:
2000: No. 24 Final Ranking
2001: SEC Champs, Won Sugar Bowl, No. 7 Ranking
2003: SEC Champs, BCS National Champs, No. 1 Final Ranking
2004: No. 16 Final Ranking
2005: No. 5 Final Ranking
2006: Won Sugar Bowl No. 3 Final Ranking
2007: SEC Champs, BCS National Champs, No. 1 Final Ranking
2009: No. 17 Final Ranking
2010: No. 8 Final Ranking
2011: SEC Champs, Lost BCS NCG, No. 2 Final Ranking
2012: No. 13 Final ranking
Results in Bowl Games vs. Big 10:
2001: W, Illinois, Sugar Bowl
2004: L, Iowa, Capital One
2007: W, Ohio State, BCSNCG,
2009: L, Penn State, Capital One
Reasons to dislike Iowa:
1. 2005 Capital One Bowl
2. Corn Ethanol Policies befit Iowa farmers at the expense of giving everyone else crappy gas, lowering the lifecycle of small engines, and raising nitrogen levels that create deadzones in the Gulf Coast and Louisiana.
3. Iowa is basically responsible for all the standardized tests you hated as a kid
4. Iowa Caucus gets unnecessary and disproportional attention in presidential years
5. Iowa voted for Obama in both 2008 and 2012, thus leaving many working middle class with less disposable income that could have otherwise been used to support LSU athletics.

We are. Louisiana produces the most seafood and energy. We all play our parts and deep down we know y'all are decent hard working people.
Looking forward to a great game.
We also have 10 reality "stars" for your Farrah, so I'll give you that one.

Haha yes you guys have some great seafood! My dad learned how to make his gumbo, oyster soup, and andouille from a cook down in New Orleans. shite is unreal! I first got introduced to your raw oysters at an Acme in NO also, you have to have a specialized taste to eat that shite haha! My favorite food BY FAR from Louisiana is your crawfish.

1) VodkaSamm is a legend. Legend I tell you!
2) I don't even know who Farrah the teen mom is. Seriously, no clue.
3) Tom is like Cousin Eddie. You're embarrassed to claim him, but his stupidity makes you laugh from time to time.

2007 - Western Michigan, at home bowl game on the line
2012 - Central Michigan
2012 - Purdue or Indiana
it was bad, really bad. The message boards lit up.

I looked up a couple computer rankings and surprisingly UAB was not that bad compared to ones listed. They were 7-4. Regardless, LSU has not lost to a true bottom feeder in a long time.
Regarding Iowa, those losses were to really poorly rated teams.

I'm cool with Vodka Sam, and I think that speaks for Tiger Nation as well.

No sir, you poison the country. 90% of your corn fields are MONSANTO GROWN..... AKA MONSATAN. And to defend Iowa they wanted Ron Paul. The media stole that.

Yes, the seeds of hatred are being sown, be it from the proliferation of corporate farming to an above average, but far from elite team talking down our boys.
In 2.5 hours, the future begins. The first step in reestablishing dominance starts with curb stomping the Hawkeyes.

I had no idea who Farrah was until she did that porno.
IWHI, and Vodka Sam too.

Unfortunately I did, and it was a reason why I watched the porno. Like I said, admittedly picking on Iowa for their reality stars is a losing game when you're from Louisiana, but I'm throwing it out there anyway.
