Do they look happy? Not really . . .

Iowa fans took a lot of grief last year as they tried to defend their undefeated team against all the critics, and then had to watch the Hawkeyes get demolished in the Rose Bowl against Stanford.

Today things got even worse as 13th-ranked Iowa lost 23-20 against FCS power North Dakota State.

Now they’ll have to take even more grief from critics like Colin Cowherd who was merciless last year as he pointed out over and over again that Iowa hadn’t played anybody and didn’t deserve a shot in the College Football Playoff.
