ND sucked in the mid-80s, including the infamous 58-7 loss @ Miami (under the HS HC).
Yeah, but if you're really looking for a way to get under an ND fan's skin, remind them that in 1989, down 17-10 in the third quarter, they gave up a 3rd and 43 conversion to Miami. Miami ended up scoring a TD on that drive, burying ND's national title hopes.

Ehhh....Cleveland Gary had a TD.  And Major Harris got hurt on the 3rd play.  But I get what you're saying.
Yes, and it wasn't just one bad call and the game against WVU. They beat (final AP rankings):

#7 USC
#5 West Virginia
#4 Michigan, and 
#2 Miami (and there were bad calls to go around in that game, not just the phantom fumble (which, for the record, was a bad call)--that was football at the time; see the Phantom Clip noted above.) :-)

There were a (very) few elite level defensive players.

He worked with my mom for the State back in the 90s and I got to meet him and hang out a couple of times.  Incredibly nice guy, you'd never know how badly he terrorized offenses back in the day.

OK but can we agree we've certainly already reached our quota of Iowa players?

It's up to you guys.  We won't produce an all-time best all-decade team, but it'll be really great and it'll be ours.  So far, it's beautiful.

Kind of blown away Anthony Carter hasn't gotten a mention...

Well I'm trying my best to pick the best players for an all-decade team, not just stock it with homer picks.

Otherwise you jackwagons would already be desperately searching the internet for who the eff Rob Moerschell is.

I think we can have a blend of homerish, qualified guys.  

Iowa sort of peaked in the 80s, reaching the top 10 in 5 of 6 seasons under Fry.  Also, this is incredibly low-stakes, lol.

I think Sims and Gray belong.  Texas' early 80s defenses were no joke.
