Hello.
Astute readers know I usually like to take the intro to spotlight something that happened outside the venerable Big Ten during over the weekend, and so it’s only natural to bring up Kansas-Texas, and the fact Kansas had never won in Texas ever.
That figure only goes back to 1996 with the formation of the Big 12, but still. The fact of the matter remains: the floor at Iowa is so high, (and perhaps the Iowa brand is so cheapened in the context of Texas) I can’t think of an interconference foe where a loss to them at home would totally and completely shake the foundation of the program to its bones.
