I'll be there with two of my sons. I expect a lot of Iowa fans to be in attendance.

I’m sure we’ll go deep in the Big Ten tourney. I mean, how often do you see Fran’s teams go one and done in the BTT?

I was there this weekend and enjoyed the tourney, although I was surprised at what a craphole Williams Arena is. If they have Kemmerer and a healthy Stoll they could have challenged OSU for 2nd. I thought Lee got robbed; granted he wasn’t aggressive enough in the 3rd but that hands to the face...

I thought it was a hard fought, albeit ugly game between two pretty good teams with some obvious deficiencies. MSU made more mistakes (penalties, one more turnover) than Iowa and it cost them the game. Definitely wasn't pretty but I enjoyed the win. Tough one to get. That MSU front 4 is without...

Mississippi. Last in education, last in per capita income, last in infant mortality. Apparently also last in self awareness. I thought their D was better than ours although ours was damn good. When a team holds you to negative yards rushing they're pretty much kicking your ass. Our QB can...

Hayden Fry took over a dumpster fire of a program that had been a joke for decades (18 consecutive years without a winning season) and turned it into one that was consistently competitive and respected. Kirk took over an established program coming off a down year. I've said it many times...

You have to go to number 8 on that list before you get to a team Iowa managed to beat.

^This. Nice to get the win of course but don't get carried away here. Needed a last second field goal to beat a 4 win team at home. More a feeling of relief than exhilaration for me. Nebraska is going to be pretty tough next year. Iowa still hasn't won a Big Ten title since 2004.

Hall of Fame, lol. Two Big Ten titles in 20 years, none since 2004. Please.

I think Iowa football stopped being must watch viewing for me after the 2012 season. For the last 5 or 6 I almost never watch. This year the only game I watched in its entirety was the PSU game; I also watched the 2nd half of the Maryland game. Last year I doubt I watched a full 4 quarters of...

Get used to him; he'll be the next head coach. He doesn't deserve to be but he will be. Kirk has everything lined up for succession.

I'm not miserable at all. I still follow Iowa football online, but I stopped watching games for the most part 3 or 4 years ago. Ferentz had taken the fun out of it for me. When he leaves I'll start watching again unless his kid gets the job, which unfortunately is probably very likely. I know a...

Agreed. This is exactly why I didn't watch the game. Judging by the postgame activity on this board I'm assuming a lot of other Iowa fans joined me.

My take on the Pinstripe Bowl; zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz This is no joke, I'm not even sure what day it's being played. I don't think I'm alone.

It would be hard to find a team that Iowa has a more favorable matchup with than Drake. I'm not sure that game was indicative of anything other than that fact. Any talk of an NCAA berth is ridiculous at this point; that ship has sailed due to their awful start. Plus, I still don't see this...
