Unless the regular season schedule goes to 13 games, this will never happen.
And why wont it work with a 12 game schedule. Play another league game and more money stays in the league rather than paying North Whatchamacallit State $800,000 to come to kinnick.
I think Mich and Notre Dame ended their series and if they can end a series that has been going on for 40 years or so between top 10 programs then lesser power teams like Iowa and MSU can drop a non-conf game.
Hey, I only have so many more seasons of B1g football to watch and I would love to see a 10 game schedule.
I would rather the hawks have another B1g game this year at kinnick than playing Missouri St.
In 3-4 years there are going to be a lot more have-nots in FBS football as the major confs get bigger and they work on a national championship bracket.
I think that the issue is the number of home games per year. !) BIG games equals 5 home games/year. That leaves two non-con games to get two more home games which means only non-BCS teams. No Iowa State for us for example. No Notre Dame for MSU. These folks will want a home and home. I do not support a 13 game schedule but would support a ten game conference schedule.

Kurt has lost to each of the following B1G teams the last time he played them:
- Northwestern
- Illinois
- Wisconsin
- Nebraska
- Michigan
- Ohio State
- Penn State
- Purdue
- Indiana
He has I believe a 1 game winning streak against MSU and Minnesota. Based on trajectory, I'm kind of cool with playing Missourrah State.
So you are essentially saying the Iowa had a terrible year last year. Who knew.

To top it all off now we play in a HS stadium

When was the last time Iowa beat Ohio State? 2004. Illinois? 2007. How many times in the last 5 games has Iowa beaten lowly Northwestern? Just 1. How have the last three against Minnesota worked out? Oh, 2 losses. When did Iowa last beat Nebraska? Hell, I don't even know. Maybe Hayden beat them back in the '80's or something. Michigan was down, but what happened now that they have brought the program back? I don't know because I had to turn the game off because it got so out of hand. Wisconsin? Oh, well we almost beat them that one time but we didn't and they have been to 3 straight Rose Bowls.
Look man, the last thing I want is our boys getting more chances to get rolled by Big Ten teams. If we are promised to get two games against the absolute cellar of the conference, then bring them on and we might win a third of the time, but if it is more games where we have to play the likes of Michigan or OSU, give me Missourrah State.
Nice way to try to manipulate data.
How many times has Iowa played Illinois since 2007? 1.
Where were two of the Minnesota games played at? Minneapolis. Not to say it still wasn't embarrassing.
Nebraska has had the better team the last two years (and probably any other time we lost to them) and we will continue playing them regardless, so why does this matter?
Rolled? Right, because that has been KF's history.

I don't want us to play more games we have 25% chance of winning. Add a MAC game and we have at least a 50% chance. Not sure why that's hard to understand.
As much as I hate to feed the troll... I will. Are you implying that Iowa only wins 25% of its conference games? Over long periods of time, I believe Iowa does much better than that. Projecting last years' results into the future is recency bias and should be discouraged.

All I know is that I want seven home games. Period. Fall Saturdays are about making valuable memories with my family watching Hawkeye Football. I don't need to lose one.

Not qute. okeefe4prez hates Capt. Kirk. He works that into every thread possible. Haven't seen it in a basketball or wrestling thread — yet.
