The only way Iowa would be in the Rose Bowl would be if Boise or TCU either made the BCS National Tile game or they both fell out of the top 12.

————————–

What does Boise St. or TCU have to do with Iowa making the Rose Bowl. You do know that the Rose Bowl is the automatically the Big 10 Champ vs the Pac 10 Champ unless either of those goes to the National Championship Game, right? So if Iowa wins the Big 10 then they will either be in the Rose Bowl or National Championship Game regardless of what Boise St and TCU does.

Boise will start off ranked high enough not to have to move up that far to be in the National Championship game, all Iowa has to do is not lose late.

NW will be better than MSU

I do agree that Michigan will be tough, but we also need to remember that we have a bye week the week before Michigan so that will give Norm and our steady D an extra week to prepare for the spread, I don’t think they will score more 14…

The game @ Meeechigan does scare me quite a bit. It’s a spread offense, and one that I believe will be much better this year.

@ Northwestern is another scary one – we all have to admit to that.

Something tells me in my gut that by the time we play Wisconsi…only one fanbase will feel great about their team.

Getting Ohio State at home is nice, but obviously we’ll have to control turnovers and play great to win that game.

I agree, been to Kinnick a couple times and well, I was in the students section once and near one of the end zones another, but I was not near any opposing fans. The students are students and the other section of people were just insulting Iowa players for thier wonderful choices of running into the pile on a kick off return or making fun of a player that didn’t make a tackle. Each game I was at was a blowout in the opponents favor PSU when they had Kerry Collins, Ki-Jana Carter and Kyle Brady. The other was Illinios when they had Kevin Hardy and Simeon Rice…not too fun.
When all said and done, it has been nice to see the extremes at each of the stadiums.

I have been to both stadiums once and I have to agree. Although at the Big House, I sat with my cousin, and he did all he could to make the Michigan fans hate us. Overall, the Mich fans are very respectable, and it’s just a classy place, which is why it’s so fun to beat them. I can also attest to the behavior of the horseshoe locals. They are complete idiots, very arrogant. But I can hardly imagine Kinnick to the be the warmest place for an opposing fan to vacation either. When you get up into the nosebleeds at Kinnick, there are some drunk fools.

Not saying Pryor is a bad player, just not the one everyone predicted…yet.
Living in Michigan and being a coach, my school colors are the same as UM, that being said we shop in Ohio and OSU fans are plain rude. I will have a shirt on with my school’s name on it and they make comments…”Lloyd Carr is the best coach in OSU history,” it really is pathetic. Just last December I was wearing my Iowa Pullover in a store and a group of kids started to point and laugh and saying “look he has Iowa stuff on.” Again, some very sad people.
When I lived in Iowa, the Michgan fans acted like OSU fans and now it is the opposite. I loathed Michigan prior to moving here, but now I loathe OSU, simply because of their fans.
I have heard horror stories about going to the “Horseshoe” and I have been to “The Big House” multiple times and have NEVER heard anyone say bad things about the opposing team, inside and outside the stadium and we would always tailgate. I was on the Michigan sideline, five rows up on the goal line when Iowa visited one year and it was a blast, we were close to the Iowa section and there was no meaness from the Michigan fans toward the Iowa fans. Too many times have I heard about fans being spit on having drinks thrown at them at the “‘Shoe,” gives me no desire to ever go, but that is the mentality here.
Have a good one, I am living the dream and could write all day.

“Illinois not make a bowl, well because they are Illinois and Zook is the chronic underacheiver.
MSU crush the hearts of their fans…again”.

Sportstalent: this is hilarious and poetic, really made my day. But I have to disagree with your take on Pryor. You’re right he has not yet lived up to the hype, but he is a very good player.
