"Edit: Tradition doesn't win you football games btw, just ask Miami, ND, Minnesota (6 nat champs, 18 big ten champs), Nebraska, and UCLA."
you made my point. These schools haven't done anything in the last 5-10 years, yet papers still write about them, they still wonder if they are "on the rise" WHY? because they all have that tradition. bottom line Iowa's OVERALL record is better then
ISU's and until you can change that. every thing you bring up will not matter.
NOTHING.
