Howe: 9 B1G Games, ISU Paint Iowa in Corner for Non-Con Contests

put me down for playing ISU every other year. I personally would like to see a home/home with U of Miami Fl.

You don't know much about that history, I take it.

We had to all but threaten not to show for the game in 1990. Even then, they didn't want to come to Iowa City. Thy cancelled on us twice before.

Basically, a lot of teams think they don't have to do the "return" to Iowa City...
 
It sure doesn't hurt to look into it. I'll ask you.a question. Would you rather see Iowa play ISU or Missouri? For the record, I would like to see them alternate.
 
I'm sure they try from time to time, but would you trust Missouri after the last fiasco?
The obvious negotiating tactic here is to make sure the Tigers play at IC in the first game of the series and the second game is in Columbia. Not a guarantee they won't cancel the 2nd game but I believe that Memorial Stadium would be at capacity if the Hawkeyes were in town.
 
I think we should look at Mizzou as a model for where our program should be in a few years. They are doing things the right way and turning things around after getting rid of their version of Ferentz. Its just a matter of time before they win a National Championship.

Put a cancellation clause in place and be done with it -- a stiff enough penalty should do the trick.

Yeah, cuz it's so worth incurring legal fees to take a dishonorable school to court if they cite some b.s. excuse for cancelling at the last minute...

You don't really know how contracts work do you? And yes it would be worth spending a couple thousand dollars to make a few hundred thousand if not more. Time to get back on those meds Bobby.

You're a scream. Yes, I know how contracts work. But since you claimed expertise, please enlighten us all on Contract Law. This ought to be fun.

FYI, contracts are strictly for suckers, I use 'em myself.
 
My two cents:

Stop complaining about the ISU game.

Then go and beat one of the weakest P5 teams like you're supposed to.

And then cowboy up and play a middling P5 school where you are recruiting and do a home and home every other season instead of back-to-back.

Then brag about being the one of a couple of P5 teams playing two P5 teams OOC.


Is that really too tough to handle?
