OK4P: a Fran-coached Iowa team has never lost to Duke

I just thought that bince Alford and Dr. Tom lost to the Dukies, and Fran never has, that we've finally found a TRULY elite coach in Fran.

Sure, those guys held their own by never losing to Nebraska, but they couldn't take us to the next level of not losing to the best of the best.

And Northwestern hasn't won a bowl game since Truman was president.

Interesting factoid. Perhaps I am being too hard on the guy for losing to Campbell and Nebraska, clearly never losing to Duke is better than actually losing to those schools. Thanks for the info.

Iowa hasn't won a meaningful bowl game bince Eisenhower was President, so what's your point?

Also, Iowa has not lost to UCONN, UNC or Syracuse under Fran.

Progress.

Let me play devils advocate though here...before Fran Iowa had NEVER lost to the...fighting camels.
