listen to the podcast about the Nebby hire. Agreed with most eveything that was said EXCEPT Deace stating that the blue blood programs needed to great in order for the Big to be respected as a conference. That is bull s h i t. The Big needs to win the nonconference games to be respected. If OSU gets thier @ss handed to them by Vtech despite kicking the BIG they are not going to be respected. Oregon was a pimple on a teenagers @ss 10 years ago. Now you would think they have been a power since the 40's if you are in your 20s. Wiscy has had a great run the past 10 years and they have replaced PSU as a traditional power in the BIG. We do poorly in the bowl season partly because the BIG fans travel real well and everyone gets a bump up in bowls because we usually had 2 teams playing in the BCS. WE know Iowa has gotten much better selections because of legendary fan following. So we get paired with an LSU of the world and geuss what? We get beat..So the BIg is bad?? So what we need is for Iowa to step up its game and go on a Wiscy tear..Sadly won't happen untill Bielema is on the sidelines. I hope it isn't till he is in his 60's either.
