Seriously? The only one of those staffs that has a chance to get fired over the next few years is Nebraska.

So there's no chance Brian Kelly bolts for the NFL at any point over the next four years. Or that Gary Andersen gets axed if he falls on his face in his first two or three years at Wisconsin.

Got it.

Yeah, UI is an undergrad monster. Hawks get PAYYYD. Except they get paid less than ISU undergrads on average.

The difference between those schools and EIU is that when a program like ND loses their head coach, they can fill the vacancy with damned near anyone they want. The hoks don't have that luxury, so if a kid commits to EIU and Kurt leaves or gets canned, there's a good chance that kid could be playing for some no-name scrub for a head coach.

Apparently no one told that to Ross Pierschbacher. You should maybe get him on the horn.

Stupid argument. If you want to be in ag, graphic design, engineering, or veterinary medicine, go to ISU. If you want to go into business, medicine, law, dentistry, or writing, go to Iowa.

I heard that Brian Ferentz was going to hook him up with a sweet place to live for cheap. Hard to turn that down

Doctors, lawyers and hipsters. My 3 favorite groups of people.

And when you get sideswiped by a drunk driver and need to have your hip, knee, and pelvis put back together; sue for a seven figure insurance settlement; and hire a ghost writer to document your ordeal with hopes of ending up on the NY Times best seller list; I'm guessing you'll lose the rolley-eyed sarcastic emoticon.

Maybe.

I only count one Iowa fan in there. I'd say the odds of that scenario happening are significantly less than 4-8.

Why does 4-8 sound familiar.

For an undergrad this isn't true, in fact a trend is for law schools to prefer STEM graduates to matriculate

Coming to ISU as an undergrad makes more sense for most of those categories. But of course most Iowa high schoolers have figured that out.
