I am willing to concede that ISU has an extremely tough schedule. What I cannot imagine is where anyone thinks these guys are going to get six or more wins! And 8 wins is just plain smokin crack! I think if they get 4 wins this season they should consider themselves lucky. 2-3 wins is more...

There was more to this than Hawaii being a beautiful destination. It sounds to me like their lax academic standards had more to do with it, as he doesn't have to attend summer school to get accepted there. "Salter said he was getting some looks from some other Big Ten and Big 12 programs, but...

Welcome Big Red. I hope that Nebraska does join the Big 10. It will make for an epic rivalry between the Huskers and the Hawks. There is alot of Nebraksa bias on this board because HN has had trouble with some Nebraska posters who come over to troll, hence the HuskersFoerever reference. ( A...

There are definitely some arrogant Husker fans out there, but I don't think they are any worse than any of our other rivals. Wisky fans, ISU fans, OSU fans MSU fans, ILL fans, etc. I could go on and on. Or any worse than some of our own that can be over zealous for that matter. I welcome the...

There was a time when I thought that ND was the only logical fit for the Big 10. But after this past year with the rumors of Nebraska, and Mizzou being interested in membership, I see things in a whole different light. Personally I think Notre Dame as an institution is too arrogant (along with...

I totally agree. The Big 10 can just about have their pick of schools, and while ND and Texas would be a nice trophy for the Big 10, there is no way they run the risk of ******* off the current member schools with any special deals for ND and Texas, especially with Nebraska, Mizzou, Pitt...

I don't wish him ill will either, but I certainly don't wish him or Wisky any success against Iowa. I will be doing my part to make CHA a hostile environment when Wisky comes to town.

Let's not forget all the crap that Trey Stross took after the OSU game. Between that and the booing of Jake C. are two times that I was literally embarrased to be a Hawkeye fan. Both of those young men deserved better treatment.

I realize that they call it "way too early picks" but if you're going to issue these picks you should at least research the bowl tie ins before you go out on the limb. As others have already stated the Big 10 has no tie in with the Holiday Bowl. Furthermore, if OSU goes to the NC game, they...

I have a real good feeling about this. I think if young Stokes does what he is told and hits the weights and works hard, listens to both his father and his coach, he will eventually wind up under scholarship and be one of those diamonds in the rough.

Stormin I couldn't agree more. Fran has done more to excite and unite this fan base in the first 45 days than Lick did his entire tenure. I have not been this upbeat about the Iowa program since Alford's first game as coach when Iowa beat UCONN the defending national champs. And while the Alford...

Oh and by the way, this is a fantastic hire! Welcome back Ryan!

This is the same guy that tried to claim that the Clown's had a better athletic department than Iowa based on the directors cup...LMAO, never mind we lead the all time series in football, mens b-ball, and wrestling...and it's not even close either. So much for your credibility CyWhineyguy.

Has to be ISU. We are their Superbowl. Their entire seasons success is predicated on beating Iowa. If they go 1-11 with that one win against Iowa, they believe they have had a successful season.

9. Doesn't the Big Ten make it harder to play for the national championship? This isn't about championships or non-revenue sports, etc. It's about positioning your school — and football program — in the absolute optimum place to make money and thrive. Nebraska would more than hold its own...

Not to worry, by then the Big 10, SEC, and Pac 10 will have raided the Big 12 for teams leaving ISU to join the MVC. These kids will want to play in the big time.

ND should go to the Big East, they could compete there. They would be a second tier team in the Big 10.

Everyone is forgetting about the MVC's stellar addition to it's conference...ISU. ROFLMAAO!!!!!

Greeat News! Welcome to the Hawkeye Family Mel !!!

I continue to maintain that the best deal for the Big 10 would be to take Mizzou, Nebby, and Rutgers for a 14 team conference. In that deal we would get 2 huge tv markets, and 1 nationally known football powerhouse. Oh and because member schools reside in 10 different states we could retain the...
