The hot ones clearly do not get into Illinois or Purdue (gross chicks)Iowa will continue to take all the Chicago-land tuition and some hot/easy chicks.

How much buyout $ is Nebraska paying all their former coaches? If that # wasn’t so high, I assume Rhule would be bought out too? However, with a reported $50 million buyout fur Rhule…Nebraska is kind of “stuck in a rut”. That’s sad.
Wishing you a good few weeks of practice before Vandy boat races you in FL. Jeez 8-4, with that much NFL talent. Can’t beat a top 25 team. Hope it brought some sunshine to your day to come up and beat up on a mediocre Nebraska fanbase. Because Iowa can’t win anything else.
The question you should be concerned about…will Matt Rhule get it “figured out”?
I bet Iowa will finish in top 25, particularly if they beat an SEC team in their bowl game.
Fyi - you’re arguing with a chick. You will never win an argument against a female.
You’ll probably draw Vanderbilt, Tennessee, LSU or Missouri. All a pretty tough draw. Out of those four who would you want? You may draw Oklahoma.
I hear you, but it is part of year-end record and bowl prep is valuable to young player’s development. Oh, I guess a Nebraska fan isn’t too concerned with player development when you can just go out and buy hard-nosed players.

No, he won't.
It doesn't take 30 years to figure it out. We don't want what you guys have been stuck with, just like you admitted you don't want it. Everyone wants to win it all.
lol….i don’t know of one Minnesota fan (and I know many) who talk about their old championships.
I hope they always fire bad coaches. Who cares about the money? It is not my money.
Maybe they're just humble.lol….i don’t know of one Minnesota fan (and I know many) who talk about their old championships.
The fallacy of your “25 years” BS about Ferentz & Iowa is that during that timeframe Iowa has had teams that would have qualified in the current 12-team CFP format, so no reason to think it won’t happen in future.
Well, it’s hard to account for key injuries.80%??? What the hell is wrong with you. I'm a Nebraska fan and I'm 99% sure Iowa will win next year.
This really is impressive. So what’s the difference between Iowa and those other schools ? Iowa will put a ton of players into the NFL just like the other three. Why can’t Iowa win any game that matters? What’s keeping Iowa from getting to the next level? Why haven’t they been able to do it in 25 years?
Two of those four losses were impacted by injuries to some key players and the fact that Gronowski was recovering from off-season injury/getting used to the offense. Now that those aren’t issues anymore, I feel confident that Iowa could compete/beat anyone. They will play a decent SEC team in a bowl game, which will test my theory.
It isn't, I have coached for years. 10-15 extra practices in December make no impact at all come the regular season.I hear you, but it is part of year-end record and bowl prep is valuable to young plsyer’s development. Oh, I guess a Nebraska fan isn’t too concerned with player development when you can just go out and buy hard-nosed players.
It is nice in theory but it is just coach speak.
It is like lifting weights, if you lift for those 2 weeks and don't keep lifting, it is not going to pay off.
Be honest. Did Kirk Ferentz personally kick you in the they/thems?
You’ve been whining for MONTHS about Iowa’s Coach. You really take who’s wearing the headset on our sideline really personally.
You’re miserable.
No preference from the teams you mentioned, although it might be nice to play Missouri…since they backed out of past scheduled games with Iowa
Subpar to very poor QB play. Can’t hide your quarterback in college football.
Once again…if the current 12-team CFP format would have been in place during Ferentz’s tenure…Iowa would have been in the playoffs many years. Therefore, with a chance to “win it all” as you say.
Just like Iowa bragging about wrestling and women’s basketball when that one dude was playing for them.
Because paying such buyouts is not only a financial strain on the university, but also makes any good coaches “take pause” before going into such a situation.
Are the Bowl tie ins still pretty standard from conference to conference with the new playoff ? You may draw an ACC team in Georgia Tech.Two of those four losses were impacted by injuries to some key players and the fact that Gronowski was recovering from off-season injury/getting used to the offense. Now that those aren’t issues anymore, I feel confident that Iowa could compete/beat anyone. They will play a decent SEC team in a bowl game, which will test my theory.
Nope…just so long ago…they are realistic and know it would look silly to “puff their chests” about them.
“Oldest son” / chickFyi - you’re arguing with a chick. You will never win an argument against a female.
You will never win an argument with a crazy person.
I never even knew your coaches first name.
Look, you love him, that is great. You have accepted the lameness, you are happy about it.

It does give coaches more looks at younger players/potential position changes, etc.
For sure. I get that. I always thought it was crazy that Iowa and Wisconsin seemed to never be able to get a quality quarterback recruit in there. Why so many misses? Was it Brian F thing?
Nebraska is done paying former coaches at this point. First time in many years. The # they paid out is mediocre compared to today’s salaries.
Ehhhh, I guess.
Just speaking from experience, off season practice for 12 days and then NO practice for 3-4 months just doesn't do much.
You realize every single school can play the what if game? What if New Mexico State had won all of their games this century they would have 25 championships.Once again…if the current 12-team CFP format would have been in place during Ferentz’s tenure…Iowa would have been in the playoffs many years. Therefore, with a chance to “win it all” as you say.
I’m not a wrestling fan, so I agree with you there. However, in the spectrum of popularity and $ generated..it’s football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball, in that order. Your lame “dig” on Caitlin Clark is funny, considering she’s one of the few straight players in the WNBA.
Yes everyone wants to win it all. But let’s be honest. There are only a handful of teams who are equipped to do so. So if you’re saying only 1 fan base should be happy each year and the other 130+ fan bases should be miserable, then that’s just sad. I don’t think you feel that way but it’s a nice coping mechanism so you immediately lump yourselves into the 2-132 fan bases. Life doesn’t work that way. It’s like saying you’re only happy at work if you are the CEO; if youre just on the executive board you’re the same as the minimum wage line worker.
