Below are some events that the LA Iowa Club has tried to organize for visitors to LA based on their newsletter. I will also post more as I hear about them. Volunteer to Help at an Event During Rose Bowl Week Hawkeyes: Volunteers are still needed for various events and responsibilities...

Great stuff. If you break it down a little bit further by the total number of times in the AP poll it looks like this: AP Top25 Poll (1936-2015) Total appearances: 303 (27.6%) - 25th all time Top 10: 118 (10.7%) - 28th all time Top 5: 51 (4.6%) - 27th all time Ranked #1: 11 (1.0%) - 21st all...

As new Vice President of the Club, I would like to invite anybody in the LA area to our kickoff event with Ronnie Lester! It will be located at Barney's Beanery in Westwood (1037 Broxton Ave.) on Tuesday May 8th from 5:30-8pm. You can go to lahawkeyes.com for more event information on how to...

2 teams you can never count on to win a bowl game for the BigTen. We all know about Northwestern, but MSU hasn't won a bowl game since 2001, which was a victory over powerhouse Fresno State in the Silicon Valley Classic. Every year these teams disappoint in their respective bowl games. I know it...

Cyrus has now eliminated Miami from his list. Auburn has since been added. Looks like he is still going to be tough to get but the fact that we are still alive and he has yet to visit bodes well IMO. Report: Star recruit Cyrus Kouandjio eliminates 'Canes - Sun Sentinel

Heartland might be a good name. Heartland and Valley Great Plains and Valley Stagg and Paterno (why not? - agree with Olive on this one) Rose and Bowl Rose and Granddaddy Rose and Thorn (actually this one sounds dumb)

It is telling me that I need to upgrade to the conference pass to watch? Is this true? EDIT: Figured it out.

I would much rather be in every game than get blown out in any game. How much fun is that? The style Iowa plays keeps us in games and we rely on execution, or opponents mistakes, to win. Sometimes you have to tip your cap to the other team. To put things in perspective, from the beginning of...

While I agree that Arizona has a better than advertised defense, I think that Iowa falling behind 14-0 had a lot to do with the subpar performance of the O-line. IMO, it took Iowa right out of their gameplan immediately and changed the complexion of what the game could have been. With that said...

Boise St is good, but week in and week out I believe they would have trouble with most BCS caliber schools. The grind of the conference season in BCS conferences is enough to wear down even the best teams in the nation, so until Boise does that, I remain skeptical. Perception plays a big role in...

I am not a fan of the who won against who comparison. It really doesn't hold water, especially in college football. However, the rest of it is pretty spot on. I do think the home field will be more of a factor than we fans estimate it to be. I will be there and I am looking forward to see how...

I agree with gold. That is what I will be wearing. It think it will contrast better with the "red-out" or whatever the fans down there are calling it.

I had a feeling this was going to happen after seeing the quality of the field during those 2 games. It will greatly benefit those games in the future with the new turf. I really hope Iowa is not in one of those games next year. That would be a significant disappointment from this fan. BCS...

Funny little blog on how dominant Iowa was against GT. He pretty much told it like it is. No sugar coating here. Barrel of Rum: The aftermath....

This doesn't surprise me one bit. Since I moved to LA in August, I have read nothing positive in the LA Times about the Big Ten. I understand this is Pac-10 country, but the pure disrespect and hatred (I think jealousy) for the Big Ten is ridiculous. By the way, Penn State is ahead of Iowa in...
