That's fine, but LSU rarely plays Michigan or Nebraska, and Iowa beat the crap out of both of those teams. So you'll have to excuse us if we find the "we wish we were playing Nebraska or Michigan" stance coming from LSU fans to be kind of puzzling.
I really don't understand why Iowa would respond at all. I get the timing of it (Friday afternoon), but I think they'd be better served into letting the whole thing go away on its own.
Actually no, because they Cubs have been down that road before and it didn't work out. You can look at the Angels for a current example of that, or the Mariners 4 years from now.
Some Tejas writer will float Paul Rhoads name as a possible replacement, Cyclone fans will hear about it, and we'll spend the rest of the offseason hearing about how Rhoads was a candidate for the Texas job. Book it.
