It’s a single vote but it should be another interesting year.

Especially since there's lots of talk that baseball is going to get cut as a sport. Brommelkamp and others have posted about it.

If they cut baseball, I'll stop supporting IA athletics completely. No, it's not a money generating sport but the B1G with expansion is finally becoming a competitive conference and the Hawks remain competitive within the conference.

I agree. With all the new teams in the league i think the Hawks have a chance to make some noise. I’ve heard they’re trying to make the jump for hockey to Big Ten in the possible near future, so I hope they would not cut baseball.

Don't look now, but Coach Heller has the Hawks all alone atop the B1G standings. After whipping the Goofers yet again on Friday in Minneapolis, here's the up-to-date conference standings:

IOWA 10 - 2
Oregon 8 - 2
UCLA 8 - 2
Wash 5 - 2
PSU 8 - 4
NW 4 - 3
IND 6 - 5
ILL 4 - 4
Mich 5 - 5
USC 5 - 6
Purd 3 - 4
MSU 3 - 5
MD 2 ' 5
MN 2 - 7
NEB 2 - 7
OSU excuse me TOSU 0 -- 7

This team has gotten off to a much better start than last year. Pitching seems to be stronger, good depth which later in the season is key.

Gotta love weekend sweeps of two BTen teams. Granted, those teams have a combined 2-14 BTen record (!), but the Gophers' RPI prior to the Iowa series was #24 due to some big early season wins...after the Iowa series they dropped to #38. After the MN series, Iowa's RPI jumped from #120 to #98 now -- primarily because of a SOS ranked #179.
