Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

1) A banged-up, depleted Iowa team won handily on Northern's home floor.

2) Rick Hartzell made perhaps one of the year's most idiotic statements. ''We are doing Iowa a favor by playing them, because we bring up their RPI.'' Yeah...right. The Iowa game has been a cash cow at UNI for years...but it's really Iowa who gets more out of the game? Please. Oh wait...I guess Iowa did tonight...with a win.

Rick, if you are reading the boards...was UNI able to defend its home floor against Iowa tonight? Didn't think so.

Congratulations to Iowa for their one and only good win they will get this year. Enjoy it while it lasts Hawkeye fans, because it will be the only one. If you want, I can burn a copy on DVD so all you Hawkeyes can put it in when you are 10 games below .500 at the end of the year.

That doesn't say much for UNI then, does it?

We will see who has the better record at the end of the year.

Pot, kettle just called... said something about Louisiana Monroe... Enjoy the rest of your season in Carver Hawkeye in front of crowds that will make a junior high game seem well attended.

Given that Iowa's schedule is much more difficult playing in a POWER conference, I would say the relative strength of the two teams is better judged on a head-to-head matchup.

I believe Iowa prevailed in that matchup, yes? It may have even been on UNI's home floor.

Said like a true Hawk fan that speaks out of both sides of the mouth. So, with your logic, Iowa State was a better team than Iowa in 2002 in football?

Those ''junior high'' crowds exceed the attendance at UNI games. So, continuing my same theme, that doesn't say much for UNI, does it?

The big ten really shows its power every year in the ACC/big ten massacre.

How many Final Four teams have come out of the MVC? I'll wait anxiously for your response.

Honestly, I don't know.

They certainly were at that point in the season.

Fortunately, both teams played in strong POWER conferences, and their relative conference records were revealing about the ultimate strength of the teams. If UNI finishes 18-0 in the MVC this year (like Iowa finished 8-0 in the Big 10 that year), then I will return to this board and acknowledge that you have a point.

However, given that UNI has done no better than 12-6 in the MVC in the history of its tenure in the league, I'm not too concerned.
