let's see..
-time demands
-constantly having to deal with money alums and fund-raising
-dealing with lots of sports he doesn't have a real interest in
-lack of experience in this role
-why tarnish his legacy
-he's not a "suit" type
-limits his ability to promote and stay involved in...
Yeah baby, I knew you'd remember that 1976 contest. Iowa was absolutely crappy...and Penn St a powerhouse. Huge upset.
For my money, the 10-7 Iowa win over Nebraska in the 1981 season-opener was huge. It announced to the world the things would never be the same again coming into Iowa...
Interesting list but #7 and #8 don't belong on there. Iowa-Washington was a bowl game...so it can't be THAT big an upset. Iowa-Penn St last fall? Penn St was very overrated.
I'm surprised you didn't include a different Iowa-Penn St game considering your screenname. ;-)
Manning still has a Super Bowl ring...something a lot of QBs would love to have. Despite the pick-6 he's still one of the great QBs. Few. if any, have ever run a team on the field the way he does.
I'd like to see a story about the scout team guys...the ones that work their butts off all year, running the opponent's offense or D and pushing the starters. Unsung heroes.
