Much depends on whether Tate plays in the second half. If he does Iowa can still may come back, if not they are pretty-much screwed. But Ferentz needs to think long-term, rivalry or not this is still nonconference. You don't want to risk losing Tate for Big10 games.
You gonna bark all day little doggie or are you gonna bite?
Yeah, the Iowa fans here were patting themselves on the back after destroying Ball State last week, what with NU struggling with Maine. Wonder what their attitude is now...
I got a heavy dose of (Big 10) Iowa fan telling me how the Big 12 sucks ass. Especially the North.
So co-worker Big 12'er and myself listen too this shit all week.
I tell 'em Friday how great it would be if Iowa and Ohio St. were to both get punked. That it could happen.
"Yeah, that was the Big 12 that put 2 of your big horses playing from behind the rest of the season."
Monday morning smiles all around! :P
