    If we had Purdy we would be unbeaten.

    That is a myth. OU defense hasn't been good, but say they don't play d in that league is not true. In the last two bowl seasons they have held all of the bowl opponents to below their scoring averages. The myth arrived from the Big 12 as being the first league form 2006 to 2012 to adopt the...

    PI above. Iowa needs a dual threat QB, look how good they did with Beathard and Banks.

    My gwad Kansas is awful!

    Not worried about Kansas so much yet. It is KSU, they hired the NDSU coach and have seemingly hit the ground running. They look really good.

    OT - ISU at OU

    IMO, it is kind of hard to compare leagues. One (Big 10) has 14 teams and unbalanced schedules. One has just 10 teams and plays round robin. The Big 12 has a lot of injuries this year. Wade, KSU's best player was out for awhile and is just now starting to get back to where he was. KU is...

    ISU-Kansas

    Your not looking at the Young situation in the right context. If Young didn't get hurt he would have been a key player and he is the guy that could defend Cook. He was a two year starter and held Cook to two points last year. Also, keep in mind Young got hurt at the end of last year, he...

    ISU-Kansas

    ISU has a lot of work to do. They will have zero quality non conference wins on their resume. The Big 12 is decent this year, not great like they were last year so ISU does have a chance to have a good conference season. KSU is walking wounded so they are not a factor. TCU, KU, OU, Texas...

    ISU has peaked as a program

    that is lazy comment and a freaking myth about the defenses. Joel Klatt among others has pointed that out. Look it up for actual statistical analysis. The tempo is faster and they run more plays per game in the big 12. Case in point, Wisconsin gave up 415 yards against Iowa in only 54 plays...

    Sagarin has the West 7th of 9 P5 divisions/conferences.

    Iowa State now in top 25, Iowa out.

    half the stadium huh? You know that is BS. They are slow coming in from the tailgate lots from half time, so yeah penalty flag on ISU fans for that. But ISU attendance, is awesome when weighed against their history. Not many programs around the country could sustain ISU's attendance over...

    Iowa State now in top 25, Iowa out.

    KU put up 76 points on Nebraska when Mangino was the coach at KU.

    Iowa State now in top 25, Iowa out.

    Wow, Iowa plays in the Big 10 West, you can't get any weaker than that. Heck, Iowa has benefited from playing the West over the course of time. The cumulative effect of playing weaker schedules over the course of time has had positive ripple effects for the Iowa program. I give the Iowa...

    My gwad Kansas is awful!

    The biggest factor in that game was ISU not playing a game the week before. At the beginning of the year, that was a huge built in advantage for Iowa.

    Cool scene in ames

    Joel Klatt has sounded off quite a bit on how it is a myth they don't play defense in the Big 12. According to him, only lazy uniformed people make those statements. Here is a little write up with reference to the Iowa vs Wisconsin game...

    Cool scene in ames

    I'll bite. I'm not sure ISU would win it, but I think it would be a good game with more points scored by both teams.

    Iowa vs Iowa State

    by far the worst power 5? That is hardly ever the case with the Big 12. Do your research. Plus, you have to consider going round robin in a league where generally all the teams are in the top 50 with the exception of KU is not easy. If ISU plays in the worst power 5, why is their strength of...

    Iowa vs Iowa State

    A Baylor receiver was running for a td at the 5 yard line in the 4rth Q. He stuck out his arm and grabbed a MSU players face mask. The play got called back. There was no reason for him to do that, that is the big miscue in that game. That would have made the score 48-21 in the 4rth Q...

    fair point.

    Iowa vs Iowa State

    okay, time out. First of all good thread, a lot of rational post. But defenses in the Big 12 are never really going to be high ranked, it is the style of football. It is up tempo, fast past, their is more snaps per game. There is a reason why statistically when Big 12 schools play good...

    50% of Sweet 16 From 2 Conferences

    Michigan struggled against Houston, but I think they make it to the title game. When they are on, they are good. I want Kentucky to lose, but unless KSU gets their best player back(Dean Wade), they don't have a chance. Even if is available against Kentucky, he will be rusty after a couple of...

    Inside ISU athletic dept

    are we really getting called out for ONLY having 50K in our stadium for some games given our history? Did you hawk fans forget jumping off the wagon in droves during your 1998 to 2000 losing seasons? Geez.
