    the season is not over yet

    I agree, a team almost has to win 20 or more now to make the NIT anymore. Also remember that any regular season conference champion that doesn't win their tournament and doesn't make the NCAA tournament gets an automatic bid to the NIT. UNI could be the perfect example this year. They will...

    Marty: "I never want to experience this again"

    I don't know if I would call the Poinsetta Bowl a big bowl.

    "IF" Bo Williams left would he have to sit out another year?

    He wasn't on scholarship and paid his own way. But with that you miss a lot of the extra perks that scholarship players get.

    Are you guys frickin' serious???

    2006-07 they were 17-15 we lose at home 2007-08 they were 28-5 we played at the Knapp Center This year they won't get to 20 wins and we lose at home again, all I want is for this team to beat teams like this at Hilton, I don't think that is too much to ask for.

    On to the Hawkeyes

    Please stop being an embarrassment to our fan base. Iowa didn't flood the field unless they can have it rain 3 or 4 inches on a Thursday and Friday before the game. Also Tucker won't play, I don't think Lick is like that.

    On to the Hawkeyes

    I agree we probably won't win at Carver. Iowa maybe better then I thought they would be, I know we played at UNI and UNI went to Iowa City but do you think Carver is really about a 20 point difference and Iowa didn't have their leading scorer either.

    Proof the B10 is overrated

    I agree with this, look at the teams they are playing: USC Texas Kansas Missouri Florida State South Carolina Georgia Iowa gets one of the better Big 10 bowls but probably the worst team on the list so that shows you the Big 10 has great bowl tie-ins.

    Bowls = joke

    Why do I think if we were playing in a bowl this year this thread wouldn't exist. So if we make the Cotton Bowl then it isn't that big of an accomplishment since January bowls don't mean much anymore.

    Bowls = joke

    The reason a Boise St or Utah doesn't get a chance at the national title is because if they played Florida or Oklahoma's schedule they would have a loss and probably more than one where as Florida and Oklahoma would both go undefeated like those 2 did with the Utah or Boise St schedule. Sure...

    Rome picks Cyclones

    That is funny, as I don't think Rome knows the first thing about wrestling. I bet anything he has no idea how one gets nearfall points and how long they must be held to get 2 or 3 points. He picks the Clones over Iowa in everything. He knows the rivalry is heated and I think he has a huge...

    WOW, Gene is #3

    I agree it is possible to do both, but Iowa isn't a must win, a must win are 8 Big 12 games (not that we will go 8-0) but that was the point I was trying to make. If Iowa is a must win, what did that win get us in 07?

    WOW, Gene is #3

    Really, does beating Iowa get us a couple of conference wins. This is the thinking we need to get rid of, I would rather lose to Iowa and win conference games. It is a lot easier to win the North and play for a Big 12 title with a loss to Iowa then it is with a loss to a North team. Lose to a...

    Do you know who won the Big 10 football title this year?

    So monty does that mean the Big 12 should have a multi team playoff, with 3 South teams and Missouri? Co-Championships do exist.

    Oklahoma Texas REMATCH could it happen?

    If Texas beats A&M then I guess that Oklahoma plane won't land as Texas will be going. The only way I could see Oklahoma/Texas in the NC is if: Florida loses to FSU and then beats Alabama knocking them out or if Florida beats FSU but Alabama loses to Auburn then Alabama beats Florida. That...

    The way too early '09 prediction thread

    1 - It will take a lot of improvement to get to an average D 2 - Iowa with or without Greene will be favored by more than 7 and I agree it is a toss up but they do return 8 starters on D and that D is playing lights out right now. Plus they get an extra 15 practices for their freshman that we...

    Iowa State vs. Iowa...who's better?

    I agree with everything. We probably have the better dual team, but Iowa has a better tournament team (at least until we prove otherwise).

    Grapplers open season

    This is the one worry I have with Cael. Maybe it is because Brands is such a fruitcake but his teams are very aggressive and we don't seem to have that. We get up 7 when 8 could get us another team point it seems we go into an utlra conservative mode so we don't get caught in a throw and get...

    Grapplers open season

    I don't think Gallick will face LeClere it will be Tsirtis, not that it matters as Gallick beats either one. Also we won't score bonus points at 157/165, but I agree we will at 97 and 275 so that will help. I think we match up well with Iowa in a dual, I have said before that Nationals will...

    Grapplers open season

    Here is what the results would be if each wrestler placed at his ranking. It doesn't take into account bonus points and that will be the difference and I can see Metcalf scoring another 10 points in bonus points for the Hawks so we will need Varner to step up and do the same:It will be a 2 team...
