...but I'm still glad Iowa isn't those corrupt, morally-vacant pieces of crap that reside in C-Bus. They've sold their soul to win football games. Screw them.
 
They don't own the conf. Purdue owned them for Peats sake. Should have lost to Nebby and MD. Will be pulling for the fitzies big time.

Never, ever, ever root for OSU. ever.
 
Weakest OSU team in years, and yeah they still win it. They should be 8-3 right now, but Maryland and PSU blew it against them. They'll beat NW and get demolished in the playoffs.
 
I’m glad they’re in the B1G. Nationally they’re about the only program that is relevant. Where would the conference be without them?

They have sold the soul to do it but they got a great price for it on the field anyway.

College football is increasingly becoming a regional sport, owned by teams in the southeast who are running professional programs with little interest in education or rules. Ohio State is hanging in there because they do the same. I don't know that it's a fixable problem, but it's a problem.

F that. I might tear my hair out over it, but at the end of the day it's just sports. We should NEVER tolerate selling our souls for athletics, whether it be overlooking pedophiles, wife beaters, sexual abuse by trainers, or whatever. I'd root for no team over a scummy one.
 
Well, at least we still beat them to a pulp least year along with Purdue this year. Hopefully, it does not hurt our Holiday Bowl chances.

I agree it is just athletics, but let’s not act like they’re the only ones who have done this stuff.

Steve Alford and Bob Bowlsby let Pierce to stay at Iowa. Fry let Eric Thigpen play in 1998 after beating up his girlfriend.

The difference is Ohio St is actually successful at sports. Iowa let those guys play but it didn’t pay off in either circumstance and in Pierce’s case he offended again.

Not old enough to remember Thigpen, so I'll have to take your word for it, but Alford was and is rightfully despised by the Iowa fanbase for those actions, along with being a world-class douche.

The key question is does this help or hurt Iowa's chances to make the Holiday Bowl?

Minnesota is helping our chances of making a better bowl than the Holiday. This is not the Gopher team we played in early October. They are laying the wood to Bucky.

Yes, it is the Gopher team we played in Oct. Its just that WI is showing its true colors.

Respectfully disagree. Their secondary was totally confused when we played them, not knowing whether their niche was zone or man. They couldn't control the line scrimmage. They were blitzing too much and not getting to Stanley with consistency. Their special teams have improved.
They're giving Wisconsin a thorough butt whipping today.

EDIT: Fleck's coaching staff has even changed since then. He bounced his DC and another assistant after the Illinois game. They have since shut Purdue and Wisconsin down.
