How long will it go on, we are no longer fooled by mediocrity, we've seen it up close in regards to the basketball program.

But wait, of course a 6-6 team shouldn't accept a bowl bid, so it wouldn't be right. I would love to see that, as I’m sure LettermanHawk would too.

Iowa fans, however, are living in the past, and don't want to see their team get embarassed again this year. Not trying to take a shot, just stating my opinion, based on these boards.

It's all about entertainment now, something for folks to watch instead of a soap opera...a way to sell cars and toothpaste. 7-5 isn't much of a record for a bowl matchup. I see ISU fans all excited about a bowl even though they will likely finish 6-6, unless K-State falls asleep at the wheel. I remember when Iowa went 6-6 and elected not to accept a bowl bid. This team could have easily, and should have, finished 8-4 or 9-3, which would have been more respectable. Hope KF can wake from his conservative sleep, retool the offense and the defense, and do well next year. If he has another year like this season, he should give back the money and ride off into the sunset. There are too many bowls.

"Are you coming back next season?" -"Yes. Yep." -"So it's official, you're coming back?" -"I don't know yet." Are you kidding me... He says he's coming back, but when its official he has to recant his statement. Just tell us if your coming back or not. We all know even if he doesn't get picked in the first round, he will be a high round pick. I'd say 1st round possibly, but possibly 2nd since he did not have a great season. I watched/attended every game, and it wasn't rare for him to be burned by a sophomore DE. I want him to come back, V-burg needs him and so does our entire offense. We need leaders since we were pretty much leaderless this year. But the team needs to concentrate on an upcoming bowl game, then we can start worrying about next season ;-) I love it. “Are you coming back next season?”

-”Yes. Yep.”

-”So it’s official, you’re coming back?”

-”I don’t know yet.”

I remember when you had to actually be good. If it weren't for all these teams schedule cream-puff victims in the early part of the season schedule half the teams attending bowl games this year would have losing records. Does it really mean anything any more? Or is it just a transaction? The idea that this season qualifies Iowa for a bowl game is embarrassing to the idea of bowl games.
