I think Hugs4U's "weak sister" comment was referring to the way ISU has been treated by the conference formerly known as the Big XII. It certainly doesn't fit the Hawkeyes.
Glad it's almost ISU week again!
How about a large bronze question mark with a picture on Jim Delaney on the base and a crossed out Wisconsin logo on the bottom?!
I'm OK with the divisions, except I'm not crazy about our protected rivalry being Purdue. Tough to call that a "rivalry" when Wisconsin is being dropped from the every-year schedule.
Too bad "The Blindside" has already been made - this sounds like a movie! My son got his autograph as the Spring Game, and he was clearly enjoying signing for the kids. What a great story, and the best is yet to come! Go Hawks! Go DJK!
Actually, the divisions will only be used for football. Other sports will be completely unaffected.
I can't believe this game is not higher than number 8! I've had season tickets since the late 1980s, and for me, that was the greatest Hawkeye game ever. (I was not at No. 1 Iowa 12 No. 2 Michigan 10). The greatest swing of emotion I've ever experienced at a sporting event - from "oh ___ we aren't going to have time for the field goal" to pure elation in the blink of an eye. I was in the end zone behind the Iowa offense and saw Holloway come open, but was afraid he would be tackled just short of the goalline. The stunned looks on the LSU fans was priceless.
I still prefer the Big 12 format, because I don't want any conference opponent to be too sparse on the schedule. I'd hate to have any conference opponent coming to Kinnick only two times a decade.
It is if you can't fit everyone in that wants to attend! What's the alternative? Sorry folks, we're full, you're not allowed in here. Imagine how that would be viewed! "Critics decry church for turning people away. Are they racist, elitist, cultish, or all of the above?"
Anyone else sense that the churches can do no rigjht in some peoples eyes?
The former Cedar Hills (now Stonebridge) site was sold to another congregation as it's first permanent facility.
Presumptuous and unfounded. It's easy to be an expert on things you know nothing about, isn't it. Stonebridge moved less than 1/2 mile, from one West Side location to another; from a 1/2 block site to a much larger area with room for ministry and growth. Have you tried finding a 20 plus acre site in the inner city that a church could afford?
