Start Rivalry with Michigan?

[tyler24]

I think this would be awesome. Call it the Orr Classic or something like that.

 

[IowaStateClones]

no .

I would love it. Especially given Fred's increased effort recruiting in Michigan.

 

[Doc]

I think Michigan probably has enough rivalries right now.

 

[CycloneErik]

I would love it. Michigan would not.
If we can pull off home-and-home series like this with a variety of teams, that will be just fine. I know that those are tougher to put together these days, so I'm probably just dreaming.

Basically, find good teams and do this every year. I don't care who the teams are.

A rivalry cannot be created out of just wanting to start a rivalry, see Iowa vs Nebraska.

I think these two teams are going to bump into each other over the next few years, planned or unplanned.

Lets meet them halfway and play them at the United Center. Ok, this might be for selfish reasons as well.

I would personally like one with Minnesota in Basketball instead of Michigan. And that is coming from someone who grew up a Michigan fan.

But they have a sponsorship, trophy and everything else a rivalry requires. Who cares about a lack of history?

 

[Stumbles]

I want one with Ohio State. I had a dream last night that we had a rematch in the NCAA tourney, and we kicked their ***.

I would love it but what's in it for them?

We hired away their coach in Orr. He is the winningest coach at both schools. I think there is something to be created out of that.

Beilein will be in a few years for Michigan

 

[awd4cy]

No. I would rather do different home and homes with different major programs.

 

[Die4Cy]

Still despise Michigan State more.

Pitino would be extremely stupid to play us, I guess you could say the same thing about Michigan.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

No one wants to have a yearly rival game against Iowa State. If were going to start one it needs to be with Minnesota first, which also won't do it.

 

[CycloneErik]

I'd like to take a moment here and mention my respect for Michigan. They could have taken the coward's way out like Virginia did, but they chose to come play this game instead of buying it out.

I respect them for sticking this thing out, especially in light of the storm they were walking into. I wish more programs did this sort of thing.

 

[Cincyclone]

Kind of off-topic, but can we please schedule some home-and-homes with Missouri? That needs to happen.
