return to IA football was 10 years ago

I think we've come long way. 4 bowls, 4 conference chamionships. New athletic center and more facilities being built. This is probably the biggest period of atheltic facilities being built in our history. I also like the continuity of our Head football coach as love him or hate him Dickey has been here awhile. We have had the most proactive board of regents and president towards athletics that I can recall. I think it has been a good 10 years.

What should we shoot for in the next 10. Stadium, more non conference wins and perhaps a new conference? I'd also like to see our attendance for football go up 10k and I believe it can, especially with a new stadium.

I also would like to see more corporate sponsorships and naming rights in the next 10 years.

And I'd like a shiny new Ferrari in my driveway, please.

Ok wiseguy Stan. Very funny. But I believe evrything I posted is attainable.

Well, I believe this. If it is possible then RV will be the man to do it.

The school has made big steps in just the past 5 years...I wonder what it'll be like in another 10 years. New stadium with 2nd phase addons? Bigger fanbase? Conference USA membership or the improvement and upsizing of the SunBelt? Who knows.
