Yeah, I guess there are the rivalry trophies but I bet that 2021 Big 10 West Division Championship trophy looks damn sweet in the trophy case. And wouldnt another outright Big 10 League Championship trophy look look awesome

We all know that for Iowa or many like teams to win the Big 10 those teams need to win a big game or two against Mich, OSU, maybe PSU, and now Wisky. In 1981 it was Iowa beating Mich that started the run to the Rose Bowl. A big win vs OSU in 1983 led to a really good finish because you sort of...

If they get rid of divisions, I think what you say above is what I mentioned as those are long time border rivalries. And those are only 4 of 13 possible yearly matchups so that leaves 9 remaining teams for the schedulers to rotate through Iowa's and the other members' schedules each year. I...

I would much rather watch Iowa play a big 10 game than a non conf game even if it means dropping ISU. One could say the 10th conf game is against Rutgers but one could also say the 10th game is against one of your big rivals. If you cant see the rivalry between the hawks and the four border...

So what, I think people know I meant you in this thread.

I agree, 10 conference games and keep the ticket and tv money inside the conference. I say dump the ISU game for sure and try to schedule and opening game with a decent team but hopefully for a win, and then schedule a tougher P5 or top team. Conference games are golden in this new age. Now...

I agree, 14 teams in the Big 10 might actually be the crazy thing.

Good points. The fact that some people like FryIowa think Iowa only has one rivalry in the conference is ludicrous.

I would say for Iowa the Wisc, Minn, and Illinois series are very strong rivalries. Even when the teams vary in how good they are, the games are very anticipated, very well attended, and always tough, hard hitting games. Personally, as a long time fan, I would hate to see Iowa not play those 3...

Headline: 11 Republican Senators Vote Against $40 Billion In Security Assistance For Ukraine They got to love them some Ruskies. I mean Repubs always vote for making more military equipment etc. so I guess they want to help Putin.

Not so bummed that KOK retired as he was old but I totally agree that Kirk could have really brought in an up and coming QB coach or just someone who had some bona fides as a qb coach. We got nothing from what I and most of us know of. Brian's main QB coaching will probably be "you got to...

Yeah, the Fed was holding tight I think because they didnt want the politicians on both sides to scream at them for making money tighter and more expensive, for probably cooling the economy which is not good when you are the party in power.

Nice story and I hope he excels on the field and in the classroom.

Well in #1 this is the essence of price gouging where a gas tanker pulls in to fill the underground tanks, and that gas is at a certain price and was maybe paid for well before the price went up, but guess what they sell the gas at a higher price. Iirc, back in the 1970s and into the '80s when...

When I typed "read the room" I should have added Barta isn't even in the building as I meant he just doesn't read the room as you said. I should have used !!!!!!!!!

read the room? There is supposedly an official group looking into amending and roping in Nil and maybe some portal changes. barta knows there is this group so he should just stay out of it until that group issues a statement of findings or possible changes. Duh

The Dow, etc, as you know, is based on a large number of companies. Much of the hit on the Dow lately is from the recent Fed interest rate increase and other factors that Biden, or any president, and our govt can control. Big Oil execs have been hauled in front of Congress very recently to...

Tonight California Rep. Katie Porter, who is from Iowa and a very sharp finance person, was talking about inflation. She mentioned one of the big drivers of inflation is price gouging. She said if a component X of a company's product goes up Y% then that company should pass on a price increase...

You said you could work remote but what about the wife? would she have a similar job like her's waiting for her in Iowa City.

My best friend's dad was a linemen and I know a few others. Good job, tough job, can be well paying job with OT. And it is the kind of job that cant be shipped overseas.
