Great article on a very satisfying win Mike.

The late TD by ISU irked me.

Wish Iowa hadn't given it up so easily and quickly, but I wonder why Rhoads left Arnaud in while Ferentz had his second and third teamers in the game.

Jennifer, you brought back a lot of memories with this story.

You are very fortunate to have both of your grandmothers still living, let alone to hear first hand about how they grew up.

Great read, but too short.

I would have simply made the new divisions based on time zones. 6 teams in the eastern time zone and 6 teams in the central time zone. Border rivalries would have been preserved, and protected rivalries would have been included. But big money, and the desire to appease fOSU and Mecheatagain came first.
