    Bowl Tickets

    I was there and heard $50/tickets, but I got into the stadium at least an hour before kickoff. Never thought they would get that cheap, considering tickets to Indy were $300/each, right before kickoff.

    MSN Sports on the Alamo Bowl

    Quote: "While Iowa State is a good team it’s hard not to think that Washington State deserves a better bowl opponent." From the Rose Bowl to playing the Cyclones. Life comes at you fast, Wazzu. LINK...

    Outback v somebody new

    I was at the Ybor City parade the night before and the Weather Channel hourly forecast, barely mentioned rain in the forecast for that January 1st.

    Pat Forde and others saying Georgia belongs in CFPlayoffs???

    Pat Forde is groveling for a job with the four-letter. That Yahoo Sports coin may not be market competitive.

    Bowl Tickets

    I live in the Nashville area and my hunch is Mississippi State will have 30k fans. They will outnumber Iowa fans. I would wait on tickets until the week before the game. Although both teams aren't blue-blood national brands, I don't see tickets getting cheaper than $75. I've been to the...

    STORY: Hawkeyes Headed Back to Outback Bowl, Facing Mississippi St.

    When we played Florida 2 years ago in the Outback Bowl, Florida was missing half of their defensive starters. We had an NFL-caliber QB and Iowa still looked awful. Yes, that was Greg Davis calling the plays, but Beathard had the green light to check out of a play. I barely trust Little Lick...

    STORY: Hawkeyes Headed Back to Outback Bowl, Facing Mississippi St.

    Both teams are similar and Miss State is #8 and Iowa is #11 in the Sagarin ratings. So, records aside, these are 2 solid teams. However, Miss State got boat-raced at Kentucky and Iowa was competitive in our 4 losses.

    Get ready for the cow bells! They love them down south

    The cow bells are annoying, but living in the Nashville area, I can attest that Mississippi State fans will be like the South Carolina fans. Their fans were great, before and after the bowl, and best opponent fan base of the 12 or so bowl games I've attended. Don't be surprised to see 30,000...

    Outback v somebody new

    I went to the Rose Bowl in 2015. Also, went to the Outback after the 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2016. Outside the Rose Bowl, the Outback Bowl has the best overall bowl week atmosphere. I've also been to the Sun, Alamo, Citrus, Orange and Gator Bowl, as well. No one should be complaining about going...

    Purdue to Music City Bowl almost a done deal

    They had to bus 3,000 students for free just to get to about 15% of the overall crowd in Indy.

    Purdue to Music City Bowl almost a done deal

    See you in Tampa for the 6th time in 14 years. NW has never been in the Holiday Bowl. This is year 5 of 6 of the select 5 different teams in 6 years. Iowa started it after 2014 and probably will be there on Jan 1, 2019. Probably Miss State and their fans will travel and the O/U will be around 13.

    Purdue to Music City Bowl almost a done deal

    From a business view, yes, but the 100% draft order of bowls is gone. If it was, we would be playing in the Citrus. Feel that with the B1G more involved with selection, that they will not allow a Iowa team who went 5-4 in conference to pass a Northwestern team that went 8-1 in conference. With...

    Purdue to Music City Bowl almost a done deal

    Agreed. They earned it with the 8-1 conference record, compared to our 5-4 record. I, mainly, looked at the 5 teams in 6 years with both Iowa and NW being in there, once. Of course, if both Georgia and Oklahoma lose, than Ohio State slips into the CFP and that changes everything.

    Purdue to Music City Bowl almost a done deal

    I live in Nashville and it looks like the Purdue to Music City Bowl is almost a done deal. Music City is probably going to go B1G instead of ACC, and go with 6-6 Purdue and not 7-5 Sparty. (Trust me, last year, they looked hard at 7-5 Iowa over 9-3 Northwestern. If Iowa, simply, beat Purdue...

    Anyone else hearing Brian Ferentz whispers?

    Just like in the old NWA. Time to take the belt off of Brian Ferentz and return it once again to Ken O'Keefe. I see what you did there.

    Gary Barta: Top 2 bowl options for Iowa = Outback and Holiday

    Scott Dochterman, November 27th at 11:05pm "Iowa AD Gary Barta said the top 2 bowl options for Iowa football are the Outback and Holiday. He's had extensive conversations with both this week. The Outback must cycle through 5 different Big Ten teams over a 6-year period and has had 4 different...

    Phil Parker?

    Double the salary would put Balki in Top 5 of all assistant head coaches/coordinators. Can't see that. Then again, Ole Miss just paid MTSU head coach, Kermit Davis, $2.5M/year to become their head basketball coach.
