NIU is "not good enough to warrant extra attention from Iowa"? Just like the last game, eh buddy?

NIU is "not good enough to warrant extra attention from Iowa"? Just like the last game, eh buddy?
Way to cherry pick. For those not clicking on the link, the above is a small part of a paragraph that reads:
It’s quite possible that if anyone beats the Hawkeyes during their non-conference slate, it will be NIU. They have a solid chance to contend for the MAC this year, and they’re not good enough to warrant extra attention from Iowa but they also aren’t bad enough to write off. Those types of teams can be the most dangerous when it comes to upsets, and if the Hawkeyes overlook NIU and look ahead to their rivalry game with Iowa State, they can expect to have a bad time.
No offense Dog Fan, but you're not being fair to the writer leaving out where he says "if anyone beats the Hawkeyes during their non-conference slate, it will be NIU". The not good enough to warrant extra attention is really a shot at Iowa perhaps looking past the season opener.
