    The bright side

    Yes, we're struggling. And that may not change. It's pretty clear that this team was really overrated... We're a middle of the pack big 12 team and playing like it. But, here's the bright sides: 1. Morris is gonna come back. He gets smoked on defense every play no way he's gonna get drafted...

    Comparing ISU to Utah

    This. Absolutely. ISU runs just a worse version with Less potency of the offenses the rest do. Throwing in an option run style would make them especially unique to prepare for, you always hear the phrase you can prepare for the option run all you want and probably still can't stop it always...

    Big Ten

    Big ten has 4 non conference, you schedule 4 cupcakes then all you need is two conference wins to get 6 in the least-deep conference there is. Where there are what 4 or 5 teams even lower than even Isu on the rankings and a couple above but close? That's as easy as it could possibly come without...

    Big Ten

    Absolutely, try leaving a state like Colorado for Iowa State and see the kind of looks/questions people give you. People at least where I'm from simply just don't know Iowa state or any of its great features

    Big Ten

    I wouldn't say those Yards are the D lines fault, most of it was the secondary. You could argue they didn't get pressure on, but it's hard to get pressure rushing 3 players and that's Rhodes fault. The D has been decent this year stopping the rush and our rush game has been great including the...

    Big Ten

    This is sorta true yeah, but more likely we'd be 3-3 because we would probably beat ourselves... we already do! Plus replace that Iowa game with another easy non conference opines would be a nice extra win, since Iowa would be in conference. But we'd have good chances to beat Maryland and...

    Big Ten

    But both programs have good pasts and bad presents. Especially Purdue with their QB history now have fallen completely off the table. Iowa state, ironically enough haha, is a program that has risen from what it was and been better recently than in its past. Plus, like I've said, better chance to...

    Big Ten

    I know it's probably not likely this ever happens either, unless maybe conferences collapse in the future as someone just mentioned, I'm just saying how much better it would be. Likely the big ten wouldn't want us except maybe geographically and our somewhat decently big fan base

    Big Ten

    Most years northwestern is trash. Most years Minnesota isn't good. We would get better. And I guarantee if Purdue played Iowa state next week iowa state would be a favorite. KU would give a run to Purdue. And Purdue usually beats IU. And Illinois is usually trash too. I'm not saying we would...

    Big Ten

    Agreed. This isnt just about wins, it's about that it would be more fun to play those teams/rivals, play within our own region/geography, and let's not forget more money and a conference network rather than just feeding Texas. It's not a less interesting conference either sure maybe less points...

    Big Ten

    I agree, a lot needs changed. Coach and QB included. But even this staff would do better with those lousy big 10 teams than hard games each week. What do you need to recruit well? Success. Sure we need more changed than that but a larger chance to win games and get into national spotlight making...

    Big Ten

    Besides Ohio State the big ten wasn't THAT spectacular.... Baylor barely lost to MSU, Wisconsin needed magic to beat auburn in OT, Illinois got slapped by Louisiana tech, Iowa got hammered by Tennessee who wasn't that great last year, Penn state had to go to overtime with Boston college...

    Big Ten

    Even if we couldn't do it which we could, it's still a better chance than just getting the crap beat out of us each and every week in the big 12. At least with the lower level big ten teams we can compete, we can only compete with KU as it is. Plus, joining the big ten would improve recruiting...

    Big Ten

    Nebraska went 9-3 their first season? We can easily easily easily easily be a Bowl team if we were big ten. We could schedule an easier non conference for one, and then you add some easy wins from the conference like the many teams I've mentioned many times in this thread you have at least 6...
