It's not trolling, it's just a plain fact. Large state run university thats been in a power conference for as long as they have existed, AAU status and 30k enrollment? They aren't dropping from the highest tier of college athletics.

No school currently in a BCS conference will be dropping down at any point in the forseable future, there is just too much money at stake for the powers to be to not become incredibly involved. Even at the mere thought of the possibility of ISU being relegated to the MAC last season brought out guys like Grassley, Harkin, etc.

I do find it rather cute that a group of Division 2 fans (as long as Iowa isn't playing in the same time slot I suppose) are bashing on a school that has been playing major college football for as long as it's existed though.

Continue to play your (Insert Direction) Dakota schools and find some perspective.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

wait, does that mean that ISU has repeatedly been beaten by a "division 2" team?
that's gotta be a first for a team from a BCS conference (even though said team will never ever have anything to do with the actual Bowl Championship Series)

can't really get riled up by someone who doesn't even know the structure of college football

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Think its funny that a fan of a team that has not won a conference championship since pre World War I is coming to talk smack. (BTW, the conference championship they won in 1911 & 1912 were for the Missouri Valley Conference - irony).

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

UNI is the only Division 2 team to make it to the D1 NCAA S16 then...

Wow. I didn't know D2's could do that...or that BCS big time basketball programs could lose to a D2 team yearly like ISU has.

Or struggle with that lowly D2 football program every time they play, nearly.


This dude makes Lakes look smart

Speaking of perspective.... I have a difficult time respecting your opinion on this subject as you cannot recognize UNI correctly as a Division 1 school. I don't even care if you call it by the DI-AA name retired a few years ago.


And by the way, just so you know, a mass majority on this board could care less about what time Iowa plays. There are just as many Iowa dual fans as there are Iowa State dual fans on this board.

And my friend, those statements are "just a plain fact", no opinion whatsoever.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Sorry to break it to you, but ISU is never falling out of a BCS level league.

Much like UNI will never crawl out of Division 2.

Even some 'clone fans take off their rose colored glasses occasionally.

acgclone on CF: We probably have more challenges than maybe all but one or two current BCS programs, when it comes to our attractiveness to the "super-conferences".

We are historically a horrible football program. We are a 2nd tier school in a small population state and our in-state rival is already in a different conference than us.

Geographically we aren't attractive to virtually anyone. Geographically we certainly fit best with the Big 10, but that conference appears to have much bigger fish to fry, since they already have the state wrapped up.

I wonder who has a better winning percentage in Big12 road football games? Iowa State or UNI?

UNI has a 27% winning percentage against current big 12 members. Virtually all of which took place on the road for UNI. (note: a few of the games vs ISU took place before ISU was in the Big 8/Big 12, and a couple took place in CF) http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data...trictions=none


Meanwhile, Iowa State has a 31% winning percentage against the entire Big 12, including home games. I'm willing to bet that their road winning % is much, worse. http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data...trictions=none

I went back until 1996, when the Big 12 was formed.
ISU is 34-86 vs the Big 12 = 28% winning pct.
UNI is 1-8 vs the Big 12 = 13% winning pct.

I have no idea what ISU's Big 12 "road" record is, I was way too lazy to figure that out. If I were a guessing man, I'd say "not good".

I forgot it's only been Big12 since '96...... If I rephrase that to the Big8/Big12 I wonder if UNI actually leads (in road games) there's been 3 victories over ISU and 2 or 3 over Kansas State.
