But even in the years ISU misses a bowl, one more win is always better than one less win, in my opinion.
POLL: Do you want to keep playing Iowa?

That is assuming that ISU loses to iowa every year they miss a bowl and that they will win every game they play in place of iowa. The first has been proven wrong and the second is unlikely considering some of the losses ISU has accumulated in the last few years.
In an ideal world I would like for the game to be played every year, but it's not really an ideal world, so no, I wouldn't mind playing them sometimes but not every year.
I'm not sure I'm tracking this. I thought you said, when ISU loses, it's unlikely to cost them a bowl game. I said, I'll always take another win even if it doesn't get us to a bowl.
If we are scheduling correctly, we should be able to substitute a school that we will beat far more frequently than the .500 batting average we have against Iowa over the past 20 years or so. This program needs all the wins it can get. The in state game is fun enough, but not worth sacrificing a win every other year (at best). Just my opinion.
Edit - just for the record, my preference is 2 years on, 2 years off with Iowa. That allows everyone to get their 7 home games.
You just saying that because your wife went to UNI....

That's a good 85% of it.
Do you want to keep playing and beating Iowa?
(fixed it, and the answer is yes)
Do you want to keep playing Northern Iowa?
answer: once or twice more just to bury them by 50+ point, then drop them.

I wish they were not so committed. We could add a home and home with Toledo and get rid of this second level Big 10 school. Major upgrade in competition level.
Lets just drop UNI in football and basketball. We need a chance to quiet the B1G hype machine.
The $EC plays the same boring styles as the B1G, just with much better athletes. The BIG or PAC 12 would be more intriguing imo. Or even the B1G east would be a huge change.

National pundits aren't critizing Iowa's schedule because ISU is on it. They have been criticizing it because the Big 10 schedule that they have been dealt up until this year has been god awful and then they play 3 illinois states of the world along with ISU for non-con. If they went 12-0 this year, fewer people nationally would be complaining as much as 2 years ago when they only played the basement of the Big 10.
