message: A "rivalry" exists only when both opponents have demonstrated at least some ability to defeat each other over time.  One opponent, Nebraska, has.  The other opponent, Iowa, has not.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pleeze (talk • contribs) 14:20, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I question how Minnesota can be called a "program that [is] only marginally worse than Iowa's over time" when Minnesota has won 6 national championships and 18 Big Ten championships and Iowa has won only 1 national championship and 11 conference titles.

message: As UW Dawgs indicated, a reorganization of the history section might help readability. Hoping to start discussion on ways to make progress with that idea. Let me throw out some ideas for discussion. I'll start to implement the ideas below and hope for more input.
First idea is to use subsections rather than just formatting for some of the logical separation that is currently visible in the article. This would help navigability and editability. Judging by the ratings of this article, facilitating editing could be useful to help improve quality.
Second idea is to break into coach based eras. Iowa fans, like most college sports fans, tend to think of eras by coach. What if the table of contents looked like:
#History
## Founding and Early Years
## The Big 8 years and return (would require some content not currently in the article.)
## Howard Jones era
## Big Ten suspension (would require some content not currently in the article.)
## Forest Evashevski era
## 1960s and 70s
## Hayden Fry era
## Kirk Ferentz era
#Notable games and seasons
##existing games used as .1 level subsections, instead of just formatting as sections
Third idea is reflected in the section 2 name above. Switch from just games to also include seasons. This would allow more interesting coverage of the 2015 season, including the undefeated nature of the regular season, rather than just the championship game, as well as making the template for main article more accurate in many links. A season section on this article about 2015 could include third level subheads about the Big Ten Championship, the Rose Bowl, and even the turning point impact of the victory over Wisconsin on the season. 
Please share ideas on how we can enhance the organization of this area as it does appear the Hawkeyes are judged as not having a top quality page.

replies: text: That's a decent breakdown for the history. I think sections 7 and 8 would be disproportionately large compared to the other sections. Can't change their tenure/impact but for length I don't know if that looks as good. BroncoHawk (talk) 07:43, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

:WP:TOOBIG gives:
> 100 kB	Almost certainly should be divided
> 60 kB	Probably should be divided (although the scope of a topic can sometimes justify the added reading material)
Options include addressing non-standard sections and those with sourcing issues. UW Dawgs (talk) 22:17, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I've updated sources for the helmet stickers. I feel like the design of the uniform having less information than the decals is weird. Although Iowa is known for it's classic/traditional/unchanged look... BroncoHawk (talk) 07:48, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
