Kirk Ferentz isn’t a betting man, and he’s not advocating for it, either. But, he’s willing to assume anyone bold enough to bet on the Hawkeyes around the end of October would be sitting pretty for Thanksgiving.
In Week 12, Iowa continued its resurgence down the stretch. With a 13-10 win over Minnesota, the Hawkeyes have now won four straight since the loss to Ohio State.
After the game, Ferentz delivered a classic comment, referencing anyone with $10 on the Hawkeyes a month ago would “probably be okay.” Ferentz went on to say “it’d probably be a good deal. You’d probably have a hard time finding takers on that one, though.”
Iowa HC Kirk Ferentz: “I don’t know anything about gambling, but I’m guessing if you put 10 bucks on us four weeks ago, you’d probably be ok. I’m not advocating that, but it’d probably be a good deal. You’d probably have a hard time finding takers on that one, though.”

Whether or not folks are betting on the Hawkeyes makes no difference at this point. Iowa now holds its own destiny in the B1G West and can head to Indianapolis with a win over Nebraska. That game will be on Black Friday.
