They seem to be getting interest from quite a few high star recruits. Rivals has them in the top 50 which seems like quite a feat considering they are outside the automatic qualifying Bowl Championship Series conferences.
It was a 3-3 tie at halftime. We then came out and played 1 bad quarter and ended up losing by 13 points. I would consider that competitive. Especially when it's in thier backyard.
I'm not saying our bowl record was stellar but I don't think we were terrible. We lost to some really good teams.
07: Beat Florida off their national championship year and they would go on to win a national title the following year.
06: Lost a close one to the defending national champs, USC, with 2 Heisman trophy winners on the team.
05: Lost a close one to Nebraska. Uncalled for.
04: Lost to Texas by 1, who went on to win the national title the following year.
03: Lost a close one to USC in rose bowl and a Heisman trophy winner
02: Beat a great, fast Florida team.
01: Lost to a 11-2 Tennessee team that almost played in the national title game if not for being upset by LSU the last game of the year.
00: Beat an NFL loaded Auburn team
99: Beat an NFL loaded Alabama team
98: Beat a good Arkansas team
97: Won national title over Washington state
So 4-1 v. SEC schools prior to the RR years. (I was a RR supporter)

Great analysis. I love me some Dave Eggers.
Iowa had 3 walk ons drafted in the first 5 rounds of the 2003 NFL draft.
Dallas Clark - 1st Round

I was thinking the same thing.
I agree. But we played some of the best teams money could bye. :)
