ISU coaches are very, very high on Dekkers.

Let's just say he's not exactly a team first guy and leave it at that. He would chafe under Iowa's culture like sandpaper.

KF and Rattler are oil and water. There is just no way they would get along.

The rumors about his on-court activities have not been good even before this broke. It's a bummer but I have my doubts he'll ever play at an all conference level or anything even before this.

I'm glad the OP is here to remind people not to have too much fun. This is serious business.

That appears to be a feature and not a bug at this point.

Unless things change OU's offense actually isn't that good. That's the real problem with their team. Somebody will jump up and bite them. If they were just rolling teams in the noncon I think you could be skeptical of who would beat them, but when you beat NU and Tulane by one score each, I...

I don't think OU makes the CFP. I'd bet soundly against this.

good point completely forgot about them. They probably are in the drivers seat actually.

Im going to guess there are 2 SEC and 1 Big 10 team in right now. That’s one more for the Pac12, Big 12, or ND. The PAC has been absolutely abysmal this year so unless Oregon rides that OSU win all the way it’s probably OU or ND.

Big 12 as a whole has underperformed this year, no team more than OU honestly. I don’t know what to take from that NU game. But I’d be hard pressed to take NU on the road versus anybody with a pulse.

McDonald for ISU got held a lot. Again, it happens. Bitching about holding is just whining. Always has been always will be.

I wasn't exactly internet deep diving but it looks like 2009 was the last time. Correct me if I'm wrong.

ISU has averaged at least 52k in ticket sales since 2011, and that includes some pretty lean years (2013-2016 no season over 3 wins). I think it's at least a little sticky at this point. The years where ISU beat Iowa and then sucked the rest of the year are meaningless. I know it happened under...

Anything Twins says regarding the rivalry like that should be utterly disregarded. I guess I've just seen ISU/Iowa my whole life. I've never seen the fans this excited, and that includes last year when we didn't play. Winning is what drives ticket sales and fan engagement IMO.

Correct, 15 years ago. I think we can all agree the program is in a different place. It's not impossible that it ends up back there but I doubt it.

You and I disagree here. ISU had Iowa on the schedule for decades and didn't sell any tickets. It isn't having Iowa on the schedule that drove ticket sales the last few years. It's having a good team.

I will never complain about holding. I was told as a young kid that if refs wanted to throw the flag for holding they probably could on every play. It happens. Again, the difference in the game is ISU throwing bad balls and Hall having piss poor ball security on the 5 yard line. There's nothing...

Of course there were some crazy people but what was there even to get mad about? I basically was scrolling through stuff on my phone and looking up periodically about halfway through the 3rd quarter. If a team turns the ball over 4 times and gets none in return you're going to lose. That's just...
