    College Football Live 50 State Tour

    Don't know how many of you watch ESPN's College Football Live, but they are doing a 50 state tour and focusing on each football team in the state. I was checking the schedule to see when Iowa was on (this Friday btw) and found this poll.

    Interesting to see the amount of love the '07 UNI team gets

      Wow! The 07 team is currently in the lead with nearly 1500 votes. They were good, but I am shocked that they are being recognized as one of the best....

        haha. we kick butt in Hawaii.
        And Wyoming.

          That is cool, but Iowa has multiple teams on there for the Iowa fans to vote for, whereas UNI fans have one team on there to vote for. So that can be the big factor of us being in the lead on that poll.

            Iowa was 5-6 in 1976. More steller reseach from ESPN.

              Amazing that none of Fry's Iowa teams from the '80s were listed. That must be what's behind the '76 Iowa team being listed twice, a typo. Also amazing that Dwayne Crutchfield wasn't listed amongst the choices for best player. It's hard to visualize any Iowa State team making a list of the top 5, but Dwayne Crutchfield was a difference maker.

                Super Kurt? Paup?

                  Kurt Warner is the far and away the best football player from Iowa. To exclude him from the poll is ridiculous.

                    Depends on how it is worded. Is he probably the greatest football player from Iowa in the game of football, yes.

                    Was he the greatest Iowa College player ever, not even close. Depends on the critera.

                      He's the most successful, not necessarily the "best."

                        Some criteria on "best" would help this discussion.
                        If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                          Success is usually what separates the best athletes from all the Uncle Rico's.

                          No football player from Iowa has the resume Kurt has. Very few are even close.

                            That's a terribly simplistic (and unrealistic) way of phrasing it.

                            Success is the easiest thing to point to, separating either of us from the Kurt Warner's of the world, but it is much less instructive once you get to a higher level of, and to less obvious differences in, ability.

                              And yet people are voting for that team.
                              Heh. Iowa didn't even have any winning seasons from 1962 through 1980.
