I would have voted basketball anyway thought the football team would win 3 games MAYBE 4 at best.
With that said it's sort of funny how down we are on the football team (rightfully so) but they hung around with OSU for a half, took a Northwestern team that's pretty damn good down to the wire. I get the reaction to the Illinois game but if the team beats Iowa like they were very close to doing the last 2 years some of that negativity is going to be erased.
What I'm trying to say is that it might be a little premature to throw in the towel on the football team.
