I still believe that the show that the South is putting on this year isn't a because of the North's weakness, but how the best college football in the country is in the South this year. 4 teams in top 10 is just rediculous.

How many coaching changes have there been in the conference since we were ranked as high as ninth in the country? I can't help but think there were a lot of people in the conference saying " WELL, if they can get it done at IOWA STATE what do we need to do differently?"Quote:

Do explain, Id say that, while its becoming a distant memory in a world of what have you done lately, I fail to see how thats not even close of a comparison.....:skeptical:Quote:

I know ISUFan22 says it in jest, but I think the North defecting would be a great idea.
No, it's still as silly of an idea as it was last week when you brought it up...Quote:

Let's remove the south from the equation all together, so that the every 10 years or so we actually compete to win the north, it won't mean getting our ***** handed to us by a south team in the championship.
I dont understand at all why people would want to leave the Big XII. Theres absolutely nothing good that would come to ISU other than wins over poor teams. I dont know about you or anyone else, but Id rather play with(and lose to as it has been this year) the big boys, than beat on the little girls, but maybe thats just me.Quote:

I don't know if you realize how many ISU fans live out of the state. If ISU ever drops into a lower conference, they will lose at least half of their fanbase. No television exposure means a lot fewer fans. That alone gives me confidence that it will never happen and thus should never be brought up again.Quote:

If the best teams of the MAC are little girls, what are we?
We lost to a UNLV team that followed up their victory over us with a loss to Nevada-Reno in Vegas. I know, I know, it's probably Nevada-Reno's superbowl.
Can we still win the North if we win our last three games? No, it looks like 4 wins could take it all: the winner of the Kansas/Missouri game. Nebraska might win it with 4 wins also if Missouri loses all three. The Kansas Nebraska game is big for them.
No. Mizzou and KU each have 3 wins and they still haven't played each other. The best ISU can do is tie for 2nd place with 3 wins.Quote:
