    Big 10/Pac 12 scheduling agreement dead

    Moot. Plus you're missing the point then. You said "Iowa has been scheduling patseys for years." I don't know if you realized this, but Iowa can't control the Big 10 schedule. They can't opt out of those games. My point is they are probably scheduling (as in games they control) decently...

    Big 10/Pac 12 scheduling agreement dead

    So they should schedule 4 fringey-top 25 teams? Just because the Big 10 is down quite a bit compared to the Big 12? I'd be curious to see a ranking of non-conf SOS. Maybe Iowa would still be way low, but would be interesting. How many BCS-level teams are scheduling fringe-top 25 games nearly...

    Big 10/Pac 12 scheduling agreement dead

    Check your facts. ASU was a top 25 team in 2004. Arizona was ranked for part of 2009 and was borderline preseason 25 in 2010. Pitt was a preseason and post season top 25 team in 2008. Plus, if you understood anything about football scheduling, you'd know things are YEARS in advance. When...

    Big 10/Pac 12 scheduling agreement dead

    Yes, ISU's schedule was tougher. But what is the point of saying Iowa PURPOSELY plays a terrible schedule? That's thrown out all of the time by ISU fans, and makes no sense every time. What is Iowa supposed to do? Quit playing Big 10 teams? Those 8 games are locked in, no matter what. So...

    If Iowa would have been a 16 seed in the NCAA tournament, they never would have won that first round NIT game.

    2012 Iowa Fooball Schedule

    It starts the same every spring... ISU fans start complaining about how easy Iowa's schedule is and how easily they'll win 9, 10 games. They keep up that drumbeat all the way through the summer, gradually changing their tune to "Iowa fans" think they'll win 9-10 games. By the fall, the...

    2012 Iowa Fooball Schedule

    You don't make any sense. Illinois is such a mess they FIRED their coach. Why don't you check into what Wisconsin lost from their team and get back to me. You're even crazier than I thought if you think they'll better than last season down a QB and replacing Toon. OSU will be better, but I'm...

    2012 Iowa Fooball Schedule

    Michigan 31, Illinois 14 Michigan 40, Ohio State 34 Nebraska 34, Ohio State 27 Perhaps I'm not the blind one, since, you know, Illinois and Ohio State were SWEPT by those teams they're "better than"?

    2012 Iowa Fooball Schedule

    1. Isn't the idea here that ISU should be scheduling cupcakes in non-conference? Iowa usually plays ISU plus another BCS team in preseason. So they're only playing one BCS team this year, big whoop. Soon they'll have the Pac-12 pairing too. 2. Do you really think there's much of a difference...

    U of I Retracts Invitation to "Fighting Sioux"

    Well, yeah it is a bit, but I believe the NCAA's "approval" process is that the tribes themselves have to OK it. The Chippewa group in Michigan gave its blessing to Central Michigan, so that's why they're not included in the NCAA championship hosting ban. If tribes don't ok it, then the...

    U of I Retracts Invitation to "Fighting Sioux"

    The answer is in the very next sentence to the one you quoted. Not sure which ones are NCAA approved...I think Seminoles at FSU may be...

    Scotty C torches K-State

    I don't know which is more amazing, the fact that he hasn't been banned, or the fact that a couple posters actually fall for the bait and try to debate him across three different threads at once. Sheesh. In that respect you could almost say Jamba is winning...almost.

    Iowa in the NIT?

    The 87 team that was ranked #1 for a while? Made it to the elite eight? Don't know how Fizer/Tinsley team trumps that...Similar national tournament success, one was a conference champ, one achieved the top ranking in the country, both won 30 games I believe, both were 2 seeds. Those teams seem...

    Greg Davis to Iowa?

    Oh, I see. Yeah I was just replying to someone who said it would be a situation like Chizik, there for a couple years and then bolting...just think he's probably past the age where he would have that kind of cache. Not furious with the hire, but not turning cartwheels either. Think it's ok...

    Greg Davis to Iowa?

    Didn't say that, and didn't say I don't like the hire. Just pointing out that I don't think he is what I would call a "hot commodity" to be hired away from Iowa right away. Don't think he has a lot of move up potential at 63/64.
