HAHA! I don't even know what to say to that it's so comical. Do you realize you've sunken so low that you are saying that Iowa flooded Kinnick.....to beat ISU??? I'm not going to even bother responding to your post. It says enough in itself.

Can you honestly say that we aren't better than Minnesota, who is in contention for the Rose Bowl? C'mon, if we were in that conference, we'd be smelling the roses THIS YEAR! We'll most likely win out and play one of those slops in the Alamo Bowl. Don't be so negative!

Make that permanent, if you'd be so kind.

Yes I can honestly say without question that ISU is not better than Minnesota. Minnesota beat Illinois @ Illinois. You are absolutely dillusional if you think ISU is going to a bowl. They have gotten beaten by horrible teams this year because they are not a good team. They are playing alot of young kids that if they are being coached well should improve next year. This year, ISU will be lucky to win 1 more game.

Do I think the Big 10 is a great conference right now? No. Do I think it is as good as the Big 12 right now? No. Do I think Iowa will beat Penn St.? No. All because I actually have objectivity. ISU might beat Indiana, but that would be it in the Big 10.

People are not being negtive they are being realistic. Look at the facts, ISU has played 1 good team and 2 average teams and didnt get wins. One loss was to an average Big 1344 team. Right now there isnt much postive to say about this football team. You can say well we should of, could have won that one, or we are better than that team, all you want but all signs point to ISU not being a good team right now, no matter the conference. The should have won or we lost because of such and such are nice and if they help you sleep at night that is fine, but we live in the real world and in the real world those still count as losses. The fact is no matter what bumps a team faces in a game they still have to over come those bumps to win and this team isnt able to do that right now. Someday they will but not right now.

Wow the big 10 isn't that bad.

You don't actually believe this do you? You are aware that the Iowa City area got somewhere around 3 inches of rain that Friday and into Saturday morning, right? That the Kinnick grounds crew was up witht the sun using squeegees and blow dryers to try to get the field in as good of condition as possible, right? Give me a break, man, both teams had to play on it. While you're at it, blame the team that was wearing the white jersies that couldn't score despite having the ball for the almost the entire 3rd quarter.

As far the blow to the head call, that flag was thrown by a Big 12 official. If you have a beef with it, perhaps you should direct your venom to the league offices.

Iowa flooded the field. On purpose. Right.

I honestly hope this causes the ISU AD to discuss their partnership with WOI in the future. I sure as heck wouldn't mind being on KCCI or WHO.

CyPride is a troll. That's what's obvious.

No way we're as good as Minnesota. They were dumb to fire Mason, but he had bowl seasons and the roster stocked with good talent. Lots more talent than Mac left Chizik with.

trolls just try to stir up people with unrealisric statements. That's what both atlantacyclone and cypride have done, ipso facto, they're trolls.
