VOTE: Would You Give Up ISU Game to Play Different Power 5 School?

While I think intense and personal heated local rivalries are a part of what makes college football special. It is clear that the Iowa State game is in the way of our National Championship ambitions. Maybe a few years ago this was not the case because we didn't have so much talent and we were just trying to keep games close against better teams a steal a win or a good season in the end. But things are different now and we need to look higher than just Iowa State.

They know we are the better team! Lol :)

Anybody good, is going to want a rematch at their place. So then we lose a home game. And I guess we can't afford that.

Actually, anybody "good" won't come to Iowa City without huge guarantees.

What we SHOULD do is, on the every-other-year scenario, seek out some neutral-site games with some teams that could also use the quasi-road-trip-as-vacation. The K-State game at Arrowhead is a good example.

If the places (Orlando, for example, just initiated a "kickoff classic"-type game) know we are interested and will show up in force every second or third year, we'll get the invites.

Playing a U$C might be cool. Texas schools would be awesome. Playing Oklahoma in a pro stadium would be awesome. Hell, why not go "international"? If Penn State and UCF can play in Ireland, why can't the Hawks go somewhere?
