The real question is...how are your gambling picks doing UNI?
Texas is going to Purdue and ranked LSU is going to VCU. Those are just a few in e first 2 weeks. How is this a stupid question? Anyone else posts it they get answers and not criticized
What are they going to do about Hok trolls in the ISU forums?
Still doubling up from week to week. Simple concept. Bet till you have doubled up and then quit. Started with $50 week 1. Ill let you do the mathThe real question is...how are your gambling picks doing UNI?

Iowa just played the #6 (in their conference) NAIA team in CHA. Doesn't get much tougher than that.This is a bizarre post considering how tough Iowa and Iowa States non conference schedules are this season.

I understand your point but I don't think Minnesota or Illinois will play ISU. They don't want us to get any extra exposure in their states. Also, Missouri and Nebraska have been persona non grata since realignment. That may change but I doubt we'd play Nebraska with their new coach anytime soon.I've been saying for years I wish we would schedule some home and home matchups with our neighboring states major programs like Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, and Nebraska. Even just 1 of them and switch it out with another after 2 years. Not a far trip for our fans to make a road trip out of it and should be competitive games most years that help each other's non-conference strength of schedule.
I look at what Illinois and Mizzou have had for years with their "bragging rights" game which granted is always played at a neutral site in St. Louis but some new non-conference rivals other than Iowa would be entertaining to watch.
For those curious, here are the games that each school in the Big 12 (plus UNI and Iowa) have hosted vs top 25/Power Programs in the non-con in the last 5 years:

All schedules came from the schools website. If a ranking is missing, it's because it wasn't on the schools website and I'm too lazy to look up that weeks ranking.
