always has been according to many here.
Haha, it's sarcasm. They tried to match us up with Purdue as a historical rival in fball like a decade ago. People have been having fun with it ever since
I'm older than dirt, but remember like it was yesterday when Iowa beat Rick Mount led PU for the BIG TEN Championship in 1970. The score was something like 101 to 98. Miller's SIX PACK : Downtown Freddy Brown, Chad Calabria, Glenn STICK Vidnovic, JJ Johnson and Dick Jensen. Johnson was B10 MVP, Ralph Miller B10 coach of the year and they all came home in a DC-3 landing in Iowa City to a huge crowd on the tarmac !!!
108 - 107 I think. Yeah the team used to fly out on Ozark " sudden death " Airlines when they used to run commercial flights out of Iowa City. I remember going to the airport as well as I think Zabel encouraged everyone to go. Iowa average 108 points a game over the last 12 games...I'm older than dirt, but remember like it was yesterday when Iowa beat Rick Mount led PU for the BIG TEN Championship in 1970.

Imagine how the scoring would look if they had the three point shot then. Snipers Brown, JJ, and Mount would now have dang near 35-40 point averages. Side note, almost lost my head when the crowd surged ahead to the plane with the props still turning and I'm in FRONT. Close to getting a permanent haircut.
I believe Mount had 35 ppg anyway that season. The 61 in the referenced game has been estimated at 74 with the 3-pt line. Billy Keller was another who could launch from distance.Imagine how the scoring would look if they had the three point shot then.

I personally hate Purdue as well. But, after having said so many things to the detriment of Wisconsin, I've given pause to reflect. And with much consideration and restraint, I have arrived at the conclusion that I hate Wisconsin the most. I can't stand those cheese-grating, nut-punching, floppers, and will continue to do so.
Maravich averaged 44.5 for his career. College basketball’s all time leading scorer. Former LSU coach Dale Brown went back through Maravich’s senior year and said that Maravich would have had 12 threes a game.
Yep, it was the Tupperware rivalry from the legends and leaders protected rivals.
How long ago did Nebraska join the Big Ten?.......9 years ago?
