    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    As I said above I personally see it as a good thing. I’d guess many Iowa fans wouldn’t but they are notoriously short thinkers. Again selfishly I think it would help Iowa in the rivalry game aspect of it and it would raise the level of importance and preparation for the game from a league...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Lets keep in mind morally superior are your words not mine. As for you question, at their very core of existence they are fundamentally different. The Big 12 was thrown together for money pure and simple. The Big 10 was set up in a long bygone time when athletics were about way more than...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    I can’t speak for Iowa fans, especially since I mostly avoid them like the plague. (hence why I post over here) but although I sincerely doubt it would happen, in my mind it would be a good thing for Iowa. Puts the ISU game in a must win category for conference championships and makes Iowa St...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Interesting, so now I’m the wise one…………………….I’ve said all day that it wouldn’t happen period. If they never asked NW 20 years ago, to leave they aren’t ever asking anyone to go. Do you guys not know that the University of Chicago is still a member of the Big 10? Honestly I get berated for how...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    I honestly didn’t think that many could possibly perpetuate this but I guess I was wrong. Doesn’t this just reek of ISU wishful thinking?! I mean seriously, no chance, NONE the Big 10 would EVER, ever allow themselves to be in said situation. Furthermore only an ISU fan would convince...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Incidentally this is one of the reasons why I think message boards are good (mostly they are bad, for me at least) because they inspire me to educate myself on things. Texas ranks 20th in the country in research and Iowa ranks 27th, where as Iowa ranks 10th in primary care and Texas ranks...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    I guess I don't know, I've always heard impressive things about the Iowa medical research, but maybe Texas is way bigger. I have to confess I didn’t realize their claim to fame was med school as well, but I guess I vaguely remeber them being well received. Back to the point, you are kind of...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    I am literally laughing out loud at my desk. That’s good stuff and I have to confess I didn’t know that it was supposed to be moot. See we do learn something every day. I wish my critics, who like to suggest I think I’m smart or full of myself could see me chuckling. I really am a dolt at...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    From what I could find here…………………… http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-universities-rankings/page+4 Iowa is tied at 71st, ISU at 88th, Nebraska is 96th and Mizzou is 102nd. Chad

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Although I do think we are both attacking this from a logical premise here is what I am clearly saying. Most assuredly Texas brings waaaayyyy more to the table than Iowa. Historically and financially and only a moron or homer would think otherwise. It’s almost too ridiculous to even say!! All...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Well I suppose, but that seems like a serious reach. All the same I don’t see any league other than perhaps the Big East or Big 12 ironically enuff ever kow-towing to a demand as such. Furthermore if the Big 10 has not booted a team in its 100-year existence (Iowa 30 plus years ago or NW, etc)...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Geez I hope he gets that wasn't directed towards him being jaded, but those that perpetuated it to begin with. Heck I complimented him about 20 posts back. I’m only saying take me for what I’ve always been worth. I’m high strung, but I value debate and lucidity much more than lifting up my...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Actually and I'll have to dig it up, but I'm not sure Mizzou wasn't right there with Iowa and ISU both. Chad

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    This is how dumb these message boards are and how limited people's thinking can be............... Nowhere did I say otherwise. This is classic example of a jaded, bitter ISU fan postulating something I did NOT say in order to grasp at anything they can to rundown a rival argument. Go back...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Nice try, but I haven't ever said Texas would join, only that the money would make them look (several months back at that)! 2nd of all just because a team would be asked to join for financial reasons does NOT mean another team would be asked to leave. Those two things are mutually exclusive. I...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Well “Bud†and again I prefer “Sitting Bull†but I’m one of the least jaded guys on this board. I always get a kick out of you chaps who “write†in a bunch of stuff in the margins of a comment so you can justify your rant. I have no preconceived notion about who Iowa is in the Big 10...

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    Really, they are?!??!? Must be that ISU education eh?!?! All the same it DIFINTELY ain't happening. No chance the Big 10 would allow such bullying. Oh and I prefer Chief Sitting Bull, oh great master of the obvious…………… Chad

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    100% NOT true.....................I live in Chicago-land and it is almost surreal how much Iowa apparel I see. Part of that is because we have a cool color scheme (their words not mine) and logo. Also to be fair I see quite a few ISU fans as well. All the same there are lots and lots of Iowa...

    That's more wishful thinking on the part of a jaded rival. Chad

    Big 10 going to 4x4 Divisions?

    I’ve always enjoyed rival fans that are objective and impartial in their thinking. It’s honestly why I post here. Many Iowa fans are irritating, and many ISU fans like you get it. Chad
