22 frickin years since Iowa finished ahead of Wisky . . .

[karras]

. . . in both football and basketball.

 

[mopkins]

thats a wild stat.

Barry Alvarez had been the football coach or AD all 22 of those years. Coincidence?

These things go in cycles. Between 1979-1992 (14 years) Iowa finished ahead of Wisconsin in both BB and FB, save for '89 when they tied in BB. There was just no internet back then to 1) get the information quickly and 2) have a vehicle to inform others of that information.

define "finish ahead." Finish higher in the Big Ten standings? Finish higher in the AP poll?

Thanx jerk for cursing the season.

 

[koralakers]

Pretty much football and basketball. Un flippin real. For someone we look at as a 'peer' this is beyond distressing. That stat makes me sick.

And NEVER since Barta has been the head AD coincidence? I think not

 

[seepig]

This was the year we have more depth..equal talent and a good start but alas Frantastic has pissed another season down all our legs.

 

[HawksMN]

WTH on this thread? 05/06 Hawks finished above WI in the league and overall record?????

 

[PCHawk]

I bet it happens in the next 3 years.

Barry Alvarez probably sent an anonymous letter to the U of I President, recommending Gutless Gary for the job.
