Iowa #23 all time - AP

[Chickenlounge]

So the AP ranked the Hawks as the 23rd all time best program. A mere 30 spots ahead of the Cyclones. I guess the AP is immune to Hilton Magic.

Interesting stat chicken. Thanks for the head-up.

That's about where I would have put Iowa.

Surprised at gap between 4 & 5 and even more about gap after 5.

Oddly enough, Iowa has only finished in the top 25 once in the last 10 years, which was last year at #25.

Our friends in Ames are going to love this... he he he...

Maybe we should start a GoFundMe page to put up a billboard just outside Ames...

No no no because you see, Hoiberg, George's, Hilton Magic, 3 out of 4 Big 12 tournament Championships, Morris, Hoiberg, Lafester, Orr, Hilton South, Hoiberg.

You see, if you look at it that way well.........I mean come on.

I struggle to remember the days when Wisconsin was a joke of a program...both in football and basketball

The big ten has a ton of teams in the top 10-25. Seems about right. Excellent but not elite. Doesn't help that Ohio State has been in the dumpster the last couple seasons.

 

[DDThompson]

If I remember correctly, wasn't Iowa about 23-24 all-time in football, too?

If so, that's some pretty tall corn Iowa is in for the revenue sports.

Wouldn't be surprised if they spun it as...SEE, he's going to come back!!!

I just saw an article link at the bottom of that article that said Morrow was transferring from Nebraska. I didn't know that. Sucks for them.

It's not been a great decade for Iowa hoops until the last 3 or 4 seasons once Fran got it turned around. Ya know - the guy you lobby to get rid of 10 times a week.

Stop making up shit, liar.

Stop making up shit, liar.

really that's not what you do on here all day every day? Just a few days ago you were all over Fran and his Defense. and liking everything anyone said about him having to go. Every poster on here would vouch for me not making this up

You're a liar.

Seems like a reasonable list. Hard to argue about any school above Iowa being lower than the Hawks. Surprised ISU is that low - Hercle Ivy must get no respect for his genius in the 1970s.

This was done in October of '09 so the monumental stink of two more Lick years after this was compiled might drop us down a few notches.

It's just a list that compiles the total points accrued in the ap poll. Honestly Iowa State was probably a lot lower before the last 4 years.

That unfortunate LickRun dug us into a hole for certain. Have a feeling that Fran is gathering a group of Players who will take us to the next level for a few years......

When is the next game.....?
