The funny thing is this isn't making people think Iowa sucks, it just brings attention to Iowa period. People who listen to sports talk radio, understands how 90%+ of the P5 teams schedule, and know Iowa is no different. 9 or 10 P5 opponents, and 2 or 3 cupcakes. That is how it works. At least Iowa only plays 3 cupcakes cause ISU sucks so bad.

Yeah and I don't see it as being a bad thing. It's getting the Iowa Football brand out there.
That's about as much tails between the legs as I've seen of Cowherd... Look can Iowa improve our scheduling within the confines of 9 conference games? Do we really have to have 3 or even 2 cupcakes every year? These answers are obvious and all I want as a fan is that this program does what they can to get as high up the ladder as possible. To do that a tougher/better schedule is needed. When your already in the BIG west where only Wisconsin and Nebraska are looked at as respectable yet not on the same level as OSU, Michigan or even PSU now you have to beef up your schedule some. If the ultimate goals of the program are to get to the playoffs/championship wouldn't it behoove yourself to do what you can to make it possible??? Winning the BIG west with 3 losses just doesn't seem like something I'd jump up and down about..
The easiest way to make the playoffs is to have the easiest schedule possible and win them all.
KF isn't concerned about a national title...his goal is to win 8 +/- games, get to a bowl, pad his "fake record" and keep the $$$ flowing.
Cupcakes are the main course of the meal...
"Gosh, another bowl game, and fans are still upset, that's how it coaching at Iowa, unrealistic expectations."
"But coach you lost by 55 in the bowl game, and were down 24 after the first quarter?"
"Clean a few things up for sure, very proud of our season, staff, and players."

1) Ditch ISU (not going to happen)
2) Offer to play the FCS champ every year in September. Good publicity and competitive games. Yes, Iowa will lose some.
3) Schedule a non-B1G P5 school every preseason.
Ditching the clowns still leaves a cupcake spot open for @Adam to get his kicks watching the Hawks play Luther's JV team. Everybody's happy.

Klatt should have brought up the rest of Iowa's schedule this year, one of the toughest in the BIG. Obviously Cowturd can't look down past the first three teams on the schedule. If he would have would have noticed a juggernot.

Luved when Klatt pointed out Wyoming's QB prospect. Cowturd backed up a bit on that one.

I talked to KF the other night and he clarified that he is, indeed, "concerned about a national title." So, I guess you are not in the know.

Cowherd, Bayless, Stephen A Smiff, none of those guys know any of the intricacies of the various sports they "cover." They're just town criers with a bigger megaphone than anyone else. When they get in the room with someone who actually knows sports and disagrees with them, they turtle up and try to weasel their way out of it, a la Cowherd the other day.
If you want a special kind of feel good, go to YouTube and search "Mark Cuban owns Skip Bayless." It's so glorious you'll about pee yourself. The best part is how Smiff actually keeps his mouth shut for the first time in his life because he sees the tire tracks on Skippy's back.
I don’t want to see Iowa be the Baylor of the BIG…. I just don’t. If Cowherd wants to have a beef with a program about scheduling and everything else involved with running a program top to bottom he can have a field day with them. To artificially inflate your record is just that. Artificial. Baylors been doing it awhile now and sure it gets them top 10 rankings but they always get exposed at the end too..

I was real impressed with Klatt. Seemed very knowledgeable and objective.

Nebraska found out the hard way that they'd been playing in a JV conference for years before coming to the BigTen, and now their fans want to go back. I don't want us to be Nebraska fans.

I see you've been promoted from rev to Trinity since God is the only one that knows hearts/minds.
Was that a self-promotion?
Those are some dang good ideas. I wish I knew the politics behind the ISU game. To me that’s got to be what’s keeping that alive. Iowa doesn’t need that game for any reason now. Whomever they would replace ISU with could pack Kinnick and be a better fit.
In a way I’m glad that after the UNI contract is up we are done playing FCS games. But if they were to that they’d do something like you suggested. That’d be a good way to go about it. But to corner that market they’d have to all want to and what if a school like Notre Dame suggests the same to them they’d rather go with them than Iowa… So it just depends.
