Athlons on U program under Kill: "Dinkytown's not looking nearly as dinky any more"

per Athlons' analysis of Iowa's toughest games this year:

3. Nov. 14 vs. Minnesota

In 2014 the Gophers leap-frogged Iowa to land in third in the Big Ten West after crushing the Hawkeyes 51-14 in what Hayden Fry used to call “a good ole fashion butt-kickin'!” Jerry Kill has his team thinking like champions since his arrival, and Dinkytown's not looking nearly as dinky any more. But these games have been back-and-forth romps in each direction the last couple of years, and Iowa's got a bone to pick with their neighbors to the north. Iowa could be looking at an 8-2 record after this one.

Here's my favorite line: "And if Iowa's offense is hitting on all cylinders by October, it could be explosive."

Sure, Iowa might be 8-2 coming in to this game, but only because they have crossovers with Maryland and Indiana. It doesn't mean they'll be good.

We were second behind Wisc as we had the tie breaker vs. Neb. Small detail, sure, but Athlon continues to color me unimpressed with their CFB "takes."

I took that to mean "third in this year's prediction," not third last year.
