Hawk fans are stupid so if they ***** about it consider it an endorsement.This. They also bad mouth our recruiting as too aggressive in offerings so I don't really give a crap what Hawk fan impressions are.

I would say Purdue and Wisconsin are pretty big wins. Minny beat Wisconsin for the first time in 15 years, and Purdue has beaten Iowa 2 years in a row. I wish we could say that....against unanked teams.
His 3 classes that have signed LOI's were ranked 12th, 7th and 10th in the B1G.
Purdue ended the year with 6 wins (even if two were against Iowa and OSU). They also got absolutely embarrassed in their bowl game against Auburn 63-14. The year before that they won 7 games and did not have one ranked victory. Wisconsin last year also did not have a ranked victory and their best win was Iowa and Iowa choked at the end.I would say Purdue and Wisconsin are pretty big wins. Minny beat Wisconsin for the first time in 15 years, and Purdue has beaten Iowa 2 years in a row. I wish we could say that.

1.) I've been told for years by TOE fans that recruiting rankings don't matter.
2.) EABOD
Did Hayden Fry run over your dog when you were a kid or something?
You made the claim that Phil Fleck was bringing in some "real talent". What are you basing that off of?
Minnesota can't claim jack **** until they beat a ranked team again. This November will mark 5 years since that last happened for them.
Outside of Wisconsin last year, Minnesota hasn't recorded a marquee win in nearly a decade. I think the last time they beat a top-10 team was Penn State in the late '90s.
It isn't like we have anything to stand on regarding success, two 8 win seasons is huge to us but on the outside its hardly a blip. My only interaction with goofers is online fans, some come off extremely arrogant/condescending towards ISU based on nothing but the attitude that MSP is a big city and Ames is just podunk central.

This was precisely my point. Since 2006, Minnesota has three victories against ranked teams, Iowa was one of them and then two came against Nebraska when Nebraska just entered the conference . In 2005, Minnesota beat two ranked opponents #11 Purdue and #21 Michigan. Purdue ended with a record of 5-6 and Michigan 7-5, so even those teams they beat were not stellar.Outside of Wisconsin last year, Minnesota hasn't recorded a marquee win in nearly a decade.

Can Confirm: Minneapolis isn't on the same level as Paris, London or New YorkMinneapolis is a nice city, but not nearly as great as they make it out to be. It's not NYC or Paris or London or San Francisco.

The Daniel Jackson thread had a Minnesota mention (the other Daniel Jackson) and it piqued my curiosity so I checked out Athlon's Minn prediction which is 5th in the B1G West this season.
What's the deal with row boat?... Was he hired at the same time as Campbell? IIRC he was the sexiest of sexy names getting hired when he did. Not that Athlon is gospel but I'd presume he would be doing better than that by now if he was the star everyone thought he was.
Any Clones (or Hawks) in the Cities with any insight?

Sounds like another B1G school I know, and it's not Nebraska.It isn't like we have anything to stand on regarding success, two 8 win seasons is huge to us but on the outside its hardly a blip.

It's a 6/10 city for meActually, Minneapolis is a fantastic city.
