    Was Fry's 1991 team better than the 1985 team?

    I would say the 1985 team was better as they played a more difficult schedule. 1985 team had the #25 schedule facing #2 Michigan, #14 OSU, and #7 UCLA additionally they faced 3 other teams with winning records. 1991 team had the #58 schedule facing #6 Michigan and #23 BYU while they faced two...

    What a 10 year run for Phil Parker when it comes to giving up less than 20 points/game (no other program comes close)

    10 of the 16 are from the Big 10. OSU has 3 years and no Wisconsin. If you eliminate the Air Force and other non power 5 schools only one from SEC and Big 12 and none from ACC.

    It's the offseason, right?.......Would you be OK with this conference realignment?

    Will conference realignment change how college athletes are getting the $20.5 million that all power 5 schools opted in for? Look at Iowa State their 2026 budget is $141 million up 24% due mostly student athlete revenue sharing. Travel cost is the problem not $20.5 million payout to athletes...

    It's the offseason, right?.......Would you be OK with this conference realignment?

    Rutgers like Washington, Oregon, and Maryland all received smaller revenue shares for years upon joining the Big 10. Rutgers becomes fully vested for revenue in 2027. They were in the American conference in 2013 before joining the Big 10. Their reduced share by the Big 10 was more than what...

    It's the offseason, right?.......Would you be OK with this conference realignment?

    There is an easy way for both UCLA and Rutgers to fix their finances drop some sports. UCLA has 21 sports and Rutgers 22. Iowa has 20 and ISU has 16. The PAC 12 had built in travel distance challenges, go from Phoenix or LA to Seattle both over 1100 miles. Travel cost for D1 teams average...

    It's the offseason, right?.......Would you be OK with this conference realignment?

    I do not see the West Coast teams leaving the Big 10 and Texas, Texas AM and Oklahoma are not leaving the SEC. USC left the Pac 12 because they got no TV revenue and their income was similar to Purdue’s. The Pac 12 you propose has 1 team in the top 20 for viewership over the last 10 years...

    Total transfers by school

    I think the reason for this is they were considered the oldest team in college football with the average age between 22.5 and 23 years old. They had 47 players aged between 22 and 25. I assume many graduated or were out of eligibility thus the limited departures.

    LIVE look at the Clown U football program

    The transfer portal hurt ISU big time. They are ranked #70 in On3 transfer portal rankings. They have a ranking of 69.3 for players leaving and 64.5 for those coming in. They lost Becht and his likely back-up in Manske, Hansen, Bacon, Brahmer and many others.

    Indianas coaching staff

    Fry after Snyder After 1981 when Iowa got going and with Snyder as OC they were 68-27-4 through 1988 when Snyder left for a winning percentage of 71.5%. Never had a losing record and only 1 year with less than 8 wins. Snyder leaves in 1989 and that team is 5-6 and here are the points we scored...

    Is this the best Iowa team since?.....

    Was North Carolina's schedule easier? Look at Virginia Tech's schedule which was ranked #65, is it easier than Iowa's? I said nothing about how good or bad Iowa was in 2023. You made a comment that is completely inaccurate and you seem incapable of admitting your error.

    Is this the best Iowa team since?.....

    The easiest schedule you'll ever see is a ridiculously dumb comment. Sports Reference has the Iowa schedule rated at #27 as there are around 70 power 5/4 schools the schedule is average or slightly above. Iowa played #1 Michigan, #13 PSU, and #17 Tennessee. Then had these unranked schools...

    Joe Labas

    He gifted Northwestern 3 TDs with his 3 fumbles. I believe all within the CM 30 yard line. Stats mean very little when you are down 34 -0 in the third quarter and NW give everyone a chance to play in the bowl game.

    Power 4 vs. Group of Five

    I believe with NIL the disparity will increase as several top G5 players transfer to P5 schools. But the disparity has always been there. I found this, between 2010 and 2020 the power 5 won 60.8% of the bowl games. And of course in these games you are not playing the top teams in the power 5...

    Iowa State and Kansas State opting out of bowl bids

    I agree and their likely bowl game was was on the 26th of December. That gives dinged up players two+ weeks to heal before they have a week to practice before the game.

    Klieman departing Kansas State

    I think Klieman was tired of fans reactions and lack of respect for what he has accomplished. See his reaction after a tough loss to Utah a couple of weeks ago. He was very emotional and tearing up and said: "I've given my friggin' ... life for this place for seven years. I've given...
