    7-0 to start...

    Just a couple points to make. First Big Red began rebuilding last year and finished 8-4. Now I am totally lost as to how you think you are ahead in the rebuilding process. Secondly before predicting victory this fall take into consideration the last time ISU won in Lincoln Jimmy Carter was...
