I think orange pants have been dropped from the possible combinations. The navy/white combo looks pretty cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11956370.post-82223197643544413802006-08-28T15:43:00.001-05:002006-08-28T15:43:00.001-05:00Sorry Iowa beat Wisconsin in 2004.Sorry Iowa beat Wisconsin in 2004.Otterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648725763105733320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11956370.post-13290686529987703622006-08-28T15:43:00.000-05:002006-08-28T15:43:00.000-05:00I'll give you that Iowa has been better over the l...I'll give you that Iowa has been better over the last four years, but don't forget the Sconnies run in 2004 (and yeah, I know Wisconsin beat them). Over the last ten year though, both have two Big Ten Championships; and Wisconsin's 84 wins are more than Iowa's 65. Yeah, Ferentz like Alverez has built Iowa into a minor national power (and a major player in the Big Ten); but over the last ten years, Wisconsin has been much more successful.Otterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648725763105733320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11956370.post-11637638372207610822006-08-28T14:29:00.000-05:002006-08-28T14:29:00.000-05:00Last year, Iowa City was named the best place to w...Last year, Iowa City was named the best place to watch a college football game.
