Would Iowa?
- Thread starter CycloneOmaha
- Start date
Iowa would rather have the Big 10 not expand. Because Big 10 adding teams (most of which are better than the Hawkeyes) means the end of Iowa's BCS bowl days.
That would be Texas, and I hope, sooner rather than later (but it will happen), they will learn that was a bad choice.
Edit - As I think a little longer on this, they will regret it both sooner and later; sooner, when Iowa recieves their beatdowns on the field, and later, when Texas starts pushing their weight around in the Big 10 like the have in the Big XII

Iowa fans are salivating over it. They think they're going to pwn Texas from the moment they set foot in the league. Not too sure Michigan or Ohio St fans are nearly as fond of it.
IMO, 16 teams work fairly well. Little hard in FB to play all you conference foes on a regular basis, but that's about it.
Now - your point of them blowing up their next conference - that's a given.
That is what I thought. The sovereign nation of Texas is invading and will soon be in control.
In general, they are a bunch of degenerates pleasuring themselves to the thought of a state institution about to be devastated.
I'm not salivating over it. I'm well aware that Texas will probably beat us more times than not, any realistic fan should know this. Anyone who says we will own them is an idiot.
And to answer the original question, I don't want either ISU or Texas.
This is the only bright spot of the expansion picture. If it is going to happen, I want them to start playing this fall, and it should kick off with Iowa going down to Austin and over to Lincoln for away games.
because you know that ANY big 12 team could come take over your conference right now. Hopefully our boy Pollard is inking a deal with your conference right now. BCS, here we come.
I don't see Texas taking over the Big 10 if they get in. They will be on a more level playing field and won't receive every advantage in the book. They will have to play in cold weather, won't have as easy of a schedule like the Texas/Oklahoma/Nebraska/Other 9 conference gave to them. Money doesn't necessarily result in dominance. Ask Michigan. Penn State was pretty dominant when they entered the Big 11 too.
Texas will gravitate to the mean in the Big 11. Yes they will be a leader in the conference. But I see them joining the ranks of parity that the Big 11 always has.
