Iowa Football Recruiting

1876 MVC Champs said:
I was actually just responding to your assertion that it was laughable for a recruit to choose Oregon State over Michigan and I was somewhat agreeing with you. That's similar (in my mind) to saying that a recruit would actually choose ISU over Alabama...keeping in mind the offer from Alabama wasn't as a preferred walk-on. But the more I looked into it - Oregon State's football history isn't nearly as devoid of significance as ISU's football history. I didn't realize they beat Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl (41-9) in 2000. Wasn't that the score of the ISU vs Notre Dame bowl game this past year.....only ND was obviously on the winning side of that game. LOL!

Long story short, I don't think it's as crazy as you might think for a recruit to choose Oregon State over Michigan.....especially if you do believe a recruit chose the Clones over Alabama. Anyway, I'm sure this will lead to some good discussion tomorrow comparing Oregon State's overall football success to ISU's overall football success. Have a good night!

Not sure why were talking about a hypothetical offer vs a real one but OK

20 years ago?
Well I guess we all better stop making fun of Kansas then since they've won an Orange Bowl in that time frame.

Are you saying Oregon State doesn't have a better football history than ISU? I think that's very debatable....and would slant towards OSU.

Iowa State football sucked pre-CMC. Alabama wanted Purdy. Michigan didn't want the Oregon State kid so I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here

They've won that many games because they don't have to play in one of the two legit conferences in CFB

isu goes 7-6 with Iowa’s schedule last year according to your go to Sagarin. Iowa goes 10-3 with isu’s schedule as well.

How many years does CMC have to be at isu before his record counts? I mean how long does he get to win a conference championship before he is just another isu coach that has failed to achieve that?

I asked about why you think it's laughable for a recruit to choose Oregon State over Michigan and not Iaughable for a recruit to choose ISU over Alabama? Pretty simple question actually....but I'm guessing you don't like it. No problem though....you don't need to answer. That said, were you able to tabulate the number of NFL draft picks from Iowa (since Doyle has been the Strength Coach) vs. the number of NFL draft picks from ISU all time? I can wait until tomorrow, if you need more time.
