Lol more like 4-8 again! I think Minnesota and Illinois will be worse than Iowa . I don't see anyone beating Ohio state this year in the big ten.

I don't think the Razorbacks will do much in the SEC this year, but......As Long as Alabama, LSU, Florida....and Auburn get beat by us. That would still be a good season.  Pig Suewee-RazorBack!

The NCAA national championships in soccer they have to give tickets for free to feel the seats in America . Wish that was true for college football. Just bought my Iowa vs Nebraska tickets for $127. While I enjoyed watching my kids play soccer I guess I could never really get I to it. Thank god for college football!!

The Joy of being young, I regularly get Badgers tickets for $30-$50 (Face value for student tickets is usually $15-ish) thanks to Students getting discounted seats and having numerous friends who attend or attended there.

I would be more than happy to do that if they could compete in the SEC![:D]. You know your program is in decline when Vanderbilt is picked higher than Tennessee just saying[8D]

You Brits better get with the "New World Order". The NFL is trying real hard to get a foothold in the UK. When they do, resistance will be futile! You will be assimilated..[;)]

Some random facts about the Big Ten. Minnesota was the first major college team to have a black all-American quarterback.

In 1830 people living in the Iowa territory began calling themselves "Hawkeyes". After the 1826 novel the last of the Mohicans . Also a little known fact after Nile Kinnicks death in WW2 if you are awarded the "Heisman Trophy you are now exempt from serving active front line duty.

Also for most Europeans who don't understand why college football is so important in America please watch the movie "we are Marshall ". I think this best describes how fans in America feel about football.
