Losing to an FCS program will be embarrassing for Iowa, but NDSU's probably as good as most FBS programs.

NDSU is upper level G5. Jeff Sagarin's statistical deal has then as somewhere in the 65th best team in the land. Probably about right.

Iowa playing ugly football. Should probably be up by 3 scores.

The fake UT is up on the fake OU from the fake Athens.

I'll be honest, I grew up an enormous North DaKota State fan. My biggest qualm as a kid was if I'd be the QB for NDSU or for Notre Dame.

I went to NDSU. And slowly really started to hate the football program. They take kids who can't qualify at FBS schools and feed them into University studies and hold their hand (give them A's for classes they don't show up for ).

They are a wannabe football school who honestly represents the anti-Notre Dame. I'm happy for about 5% of the fans. When I grew up, me and my dad would be in a dome with 10-12,000 people falling asleep.

They win a JV football championship and suddenly all these people start taking NDSU themed wedding pictures, Christmas cards, etc. People who you couldn't give away tickets to are suddenly talking shit to me about how (even though I still was cheering for ndsu) I cheer for a bunch of losers at ND.

It is pretty sad I was hoping Iowa would pound NDSU into the ground...but I can't cheer for them. I've tried....just can't do it.

Why would any FBS team schedule NDSU? Have they not yet learned their lesson?

It is a good thing that the people on the board aren't fans of any one of the oh, about 23 programs, including FSU that have embarrassed themselves today.

Can you imagine if ND had borrowed from any of these examples? Sheet! BVG and his Rockford Files car would have just disappeared!

With that I will say go Rockets, (QB rating currently at 221.0, and wide receiver leading the nation in td's and ypp both, I do believe!)

And more importantly, Go IRISH!

NDSU cherry picks. A few years ago F$U and Oklahoma approached them. NDSU made up some excuse.

@Iowa isn't cherry picking. Kansas, Iowa St, Colorado, Wash St, Ore St, Minnesota, Illinois, Purdue, Indiana, Kentucky, Vandy, a third of the ACC, the entire MWC minus Boise... all of those would have been cherry picking when this game was contracted. In fact, they sought out the toughest regional game they could schedule. Guaranteed if they called Nebraska the Huskers didn't return the call.

You can complain about who they sign, what the academics are about and how the fans are bandwagons but you being a grad makes this the weirdest sour grapes story I've ever heard. They have won 5 straight NC's. They are the most successful sports program in the country at their level or higher. Have a little pride in your bro's, bro.

Kentucky struggling with New Mexico St. NMSU up 21-14 in a game that reminds me of Texas Tech vs ASU. How has Kentucky given up 21 points in the 1st quarter to NMSU. Fire Stoops.
