Top recruits like Logi and Johnson make for a good team and with the right coaching can make for a great team.
Holding any team to 157 total yards speaks well of the defense, but I am a little concerned with the two turn overs altough I did not see the game as to what caused them.
A team visit to the ER room of a hospital in which a person's brain has been scrambled because he or she did not wear a helmet might be in order and thus encourage the players to buy and wear a helmet.
If the laws don't provide for wearing a helmet, common sense should.
It will take a lot more than four walk ons to turn around this program. It will take some 4 o 5 star high school players that I am confident the coaches are working on for next year.
I believe the East and West divisions continue the be the most logical choice. We need to remember that: (a) this is a permant change (b) most rivlals are with the boarder states or university within your state.
As to night games it is obvious that it can be cold once the sun goes down. But, you also have security, traffic flow, safety that are more of a concern at night.
I hope Iowa's basketball improves from one of the worst records in Iowa's basketball history. But, the key is recruiting - recruiting - recruiting. A couple of 4 or 5 star high school players would help turn this program around.
A lot of teams go off campus for practice to avoid the campus distractions. I know two years ago the Illinois football team was practicing at the old Chanute AFB facility and staying at the old Visiting Officer Quarters (VOQ),
We need to remember that there are a considerable number of other sports that also would be affect by a division set up. I believe we realize that the revenue sports of football, basketball, wrestling & ice hockey support the non-revenue sports. Do you realize that the number of teams and probably players in non-revenue sports is more than revenue sports? These sports and related cost need to be considered in any Big Ten division set up.
The obvious problem with Penn State in the West is travel cost. We need to remember that football is only one of the many sports in the Big Ten that will be affected by a conference re allignment.
