    UNI got a tough draw

    Quick note: The MVC won the MVC/MWC Challenge this year 5-4. Their top teams are better, but the Valley is deeper.

    Making a case to the Big 10

    You guys should join the MVC! I think you could be a top half team (in both football and basketball).

    My take

    Some Cyclones fan's arrogance is amazing!

    Jon Miller thinks UNI is a better team than us...

    Yes, and going off the information we have at hand, since our meeting (and UNI victory) in Ames, Iowa State has gone 3-10 with wins over NDSU, SDSU (which UNI has beaten both as well) and Kent State. Whereas, UNI has gone 12-4 with loses to then #16 BYU, #22 Iowa, arch rival SIU in Carbondale...

    Jon Miller thinks UNI is a better team than us...

    Of course it is. Is it possible that UNI has improved in the past two years?

    Should Iowa drop out of the Top 25?

    If the Hawkeyes are still ranked next week, I think its time UNI submits its bid to join I-A so we can get the extra scholarships, coaches, etc. Because if that is the case, clearly we are ready. Hell, with as bad as the Big 10 is, they could use a good football/basketball school.

    Jon Miller thinks UNI is a better team than us...

    So when UNI beat you 2 years ago. Or almost beat you 3 years ago. That was because...ISU just came out super flat, it was UNI's Super Bowl, what is it?

    Jon Miller thinks UNI is a better team than us...

    Regardless of how we played yesterday (which is quite convincing on its own), you guys cannot honestly accept that UNI may be better than you right now considering the last time we met, UNI won 24-13? If it is really that hard for you guys to fathom, you are more delusional than expected.

    Does UNI have a shot?

    I have a good basis for my opinion. On the very first day of my student teaching assignment at Cedar Rapids Kennedy I was told by my mentor: "A UNI grad huh? Good, you guys are leagues above Iowa and ISU." And on one of my days teaching at Anamosa I was told "I don't know what UNI does up...

    Does UNI have a shot?

    UNI has a lot of programs better than ISU. If you go anywhere but UNI (in Iowa) to be a teacher, you are doing your career a disservice. It can also do with atmosphere. Not to be condescending, but its a fact, UNI has a history of winning. Iowa State does not. Sure, some would rather...

    New turf in UNIdome

    Cyclone fans really need to get rid of that. Its annoying as, "they only reason ISU beats Iowa is because its their Superbowl."

    New turf in UNIdome

    Consider me in that class. The baseball team didn't even average 1,000 fans per game. Its a no brainer to sacrifice baseball to make sure basketball, football, and volleyball stay at their competitive levels.

    ISU Plates at In State Rival Schools

    Not quite the same, but there is a UNI license plate here in Cedar Falls that says: 4UISUNI I thought it was pretty clever. How someone can't successfully root for all three is besides me. But at least they try.

    question for uni fans

    It absolutely hurts UNI's chances. Any loss hurts our chances of making the playoffs. I can't believe some ISU fans honestly are so arrogant as to believe their are no die hard UNI fans (here's one right here), and non-Hawk UNI fans (again...right here). The problem is UNI is not as...

    Mythical In-State Championship

    I was speaking in reference to the fact that UNI now has 1 regular season title, 2 conference titles, 4 NCAA appearances, a top 25 national ranking, and a brand new arena all in the past 6 years or so. Things are looking good for the future. Those can't be said for the state's other 3 DI...

    Mythical In-State Championship

    Do you honestly think the MVC is a "little" league? How many MVC teams ISU lose to in the past 3 years? You go ahead and try to justify that you are in such a hard conference and so its okay to lose. But I enjoy filling out my bracket and seeing my team there.

    Mythical In-State Championship

    Statistically (according to RPI), UNI was the second best team you beat last year (after Baylor, which was three spots ahead of UNI). UNI had 4 wins in our (according to you, weak) conference that was better than any win you had all season. Not to mention we have gone to the NCAA tournament 3...

    UNI Baseball

    Really? Is this trend new? I always thought UNI had about 55% female enrollment. Considering our emphasis in education, it makes sense.

    State of Basketball within Iowa?

    All conferences have their ups and downs. The Valley was EXTREMELY young this year. For instance, UNI brings back every starter next year. Also, the Valley has done rather well in the tournament as of late. Sure UNI and Drake went one and done the past couple of years. But SIU, Wichita...
