    CY-HAWK TALK - Spring Football Video Recap

    Boy did you make your self look silly........................Go back and read it again. I realize I ran that sentence on, but I mentioned THOSE guys that have started or played a ton (Hyde didn't start by the way, but they think he is a stud) and then histroy says "others" will be very, very...

    Recruiting

    Keep in mind if you shook out all the players in the NFL and where they ranked coming out of high school there are likely more 2 or no star NFLers than 3's, 4's and 5's combined. Iowa alone has at least 13 or 14, two star/walkons in the NFL and when you add up the tons & tons of players from...

    If there is a break up of the Big 12, where does ISU fit

    It may NOT be good for Iowa, but there is something that many ISU fans refuse to see. They have a tendency to look at Iowa as some lucky team that happened to win a "couple" more games than them "recently" Since Hayden came and we started winning again in 1981, we have the 26th best winning...

    If there is a break up of the Big 12, where does ISU fit

    Great suff, you nailed it. That is EXACTLY what he was saying. ISU nor many rivals on the media short end do NOT attack each and every game the same way. Iowa has and it shows. With the exception of 2006 they have gotten better as the season progressed every year. I was kind of afraid someone...

    If there is a break up of the Big 12, where does ISU fit

    Interestingly enuff I had remembered noting that the MAC had a big southern influence and I'd thought it was from Texas.. As it turns out there are "some" Texas kids, but there are a ton of Florida kids. Ohio had 4 Florida kids CMU had 15 NIU had 10 Bowling Green had 4 WMU had...

    CY-HAWK TALK - Spring Football Video Recap

    This is a good question, that is worth asking. First let me say I don't post on Iowa sites so my only involvement with Iowa people is reading and posting on Marc Morehouses blog. I said over and over again last year that Iowa's depth and talent was better than it has ever been. The key to the...

    Is Iowa basketball relevant at all?

    I'll answer that question like this........................at one time I was a bigger college b-ball fan than f-ball. Say about 8 to 10 years ago. The poor way in which SA was treated (yes he may have deserved some, stressing "some") and time constraints has made it irrelevant to the point...

    Iowa fans on HN drooling over ISU as a mid major

    Yeah QB, QB and QB with a little WR thrown in. As for your talent doesn't always win football games comment I thought that was what I was saying. Football like life is all about effort, accountability and attitude. The team with the most "talent" loses regularly. Iowa wasn't poor to average...

    Iowa fans on HN drooling over ISU as a mid major

    PS..................I also think that 2005 ISU team was better and I'd also conclude that Iowa team most assuredly under achieved. They did improve, but they flat gave away that UM and NW game both and honestly that season frustrated me almost as much as the 2006 one that just imploded. To me...

    Iowa fans on HN drooling over ISU as a mid major

    I looked back and though I can't really say about the early 80's, I do remember ISU having talent but being very poorly coached. However since 98 I'd say ISU was clearly better in 98, 99, and 2000 with 2001 being a couple pretty solid teams and ISU won. Therefore ISU was better because they...

    Iowa fans on HN drooling over ISU as a mid major

    Really.................?!?!?! I couldn't have said it better myself and that point is done. As for ISU vs Iowa that's your thoughts. I've never bought into the "super bowl" thing. All the same it is pretty clear what team has produced more talent and had more success. If you took Iowa and ISU...

    Iowa fans on HN drooling over ISU as a mid major

    Incidentally here are a couple other things that didn't need mentioned but I will now. Iowa is now 5-2 vs ISU in the last 7. Texas jumped up and down 2 years ago convinced they were better and deserved to play for the NC and many on here shared that thought so please don't insult us both with...

    Iowa fans on HN drooling over ISU as a mid major

    Thanks for the kudos and the segue........I wasn't trying to be tricky, I think anyone could see where I was going. It does matter unless you'd say Stanford is similarly talented to USC! But all the same you nailed the point I was getting at. Iowa has played Texas twice in 20 years. Beat them...

    Iowa fans on HN drooling over ISU as a mid major

    Show us the funny part and we'll all laugh. What's funny is fans and their desperation. No where did anyone say they were as good as school "X". Honestly people like me are careful to never say we are better or even as good as PSU, even though we have beat them a ton. We are honest enuff with...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    That is highly intriguing and I think ISU is a possibility if they go to 16 teams. I do know the Big 10 does like Hockey. As I have said earlier nothing would please the Big 10 more than being seen as a different, versatile highly superior league. In academics, athletics and ethics...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Yeah I kind of thought that's where you were at. Honestly I never should have said the Big 12 would. I meant to insinuate the I "suppose" stressing I don't really know or care, though they have already proven they will indeed cater to Texas , so they may indeed do that. But they ARE different...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Maybe I was unfair, but the Big 10 and Big 12 aren't similar in any of their doings so this would seemingly be no different. You would also have to agree some ISU fans do indeed postulate Iowa as a Big 10 also ran. For your part you have suggested that if it came up Iowa could be booted in favor...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Listen Herb you seem intent on making Iowa the Big 10’s little stepbrother lucky to be hanging on and they are a charter member. It most certainly is about money, but they haven’t gave up their core values as a result?! People intent on making “their point” often want to boil things down to...

    Iowa fans on HN drooling over ISU as a mid major

    Really the worst Texas team in 10 years?! This is why I love message board debates. Since 2000 Texas has had 45 kids drafted and guess what year they had the most? You guessed it, after that 2006 Alamo Bowl game they had 7 kids picked in the draft! Only 2 other times since 2000 have they...
