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

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.
Here's an update on the B1G baseball regular season title race. The Hawks have two more wins in the conference than any other team

Iowa has 3 home games vs 4 - 8 NE this weekend

I think the OR games are in Des Moines @ the AAA ballpark
Friday the Hawks blanked the Bugeaters, 1 - 0 keeping Iowa in first place in the B1G conference.
Saturday's first pitch will be thrown out by Head Hoops Coach Ben McCollum.
Sat and Sun are going to be beautiful days.
GO WATCH THE HAWKS whip our beloved neighbor to the West!

Even with the tough Sunday loss, where a potential game tying two run homer was snagged up against the wall, the Hawks are still in first place in the B1G.
Iowa is 14 & 4, and UCLA is 12 & 3, so the Hawks are a 1/2 game up. Ducks are 2 games back at 12 & 6.
Interesting stat regarding the full schedules of sunny LA and the wintery Midwest:
UCLA has played 26 home games, 7 away and 2 neutral sites. The Hawks have played 13 at home, 15 on the road and 4 neutral sites.

Sucks for me this year, I live in far western Iowa and always go to the B1G tournament if the Hawks make it, this year my son graduates that weekend so I won't get to see any of it.
