ESPN ranks BIG schedules

[CAARHawk]

I completely disagree with the non-con issues people are talking about on this board. Iowa is going to be starting a freshman at point and a freshman back-up point. They are going to their true rotational pressure D. They are going to start a freshman center. They lost their clutch scorer. They are going to be doing some radical experimentation with different line-ups.

It is best they do this in practice mode against teams that won't destroy them when they make mistakes, because they will make several during this learning process. Basically, get this stuff out of the way against easier competition, while you are still building confidence, weather the storm against the brutal start of the B1G schedule and then go on a good late run, including win some conference tourney games and all will be good.

We need to start scheduling some games. Tucking tail is not "Iowan." This goes for both sports.

What is Iowan? A quixotic, giant-killing schedule where we get bruised and beaten, before we get in league and play 5 top 20 teams in 3 weeks?

Also, aren't you in Ohio? Who made you the arbiter of what's Iowan

I see what you mean. The fancy glass-front Rudy's looks metro and fem and inauthentic. A place where posers might lurk.

Nailed it. You can't see it, but on the right of that picture, that Rudy's is connected to an Active Endeavors.

That's not the point either. When you're looking to consume some awesome, greasy-spoon, diarrhea inducing tacos, do you want to do it in the ugly, painted stucco building in a crappy neighborhood, or do you want to do it at a new, glass-front building in a strip mall.

actually, that IS the point, and here's why: suburbia sux because suburban whitey expects everything to be presented to him/her as a new, glass-front building in a strip mall, totally devoid of originality, soul, and character.
We agree that this presentation is bogus, but it's the way the suburban whitey expects it
ergo, suburbia sux LOL

Virginia Tech is toughest in my mind. Are they good? No. Do I trust us to beat an ACC team on the road? No.

Do you trust Iowa to beat a MAC team on the road? Because that's essentially what VT is this year. Iowa wins that one going away.

I don't trust Iowa to win any road games until they happen.
