I will watch every single minute, prolly rewind the DVR about 20 different times to review some plays. I will do this most likely while my 7 month old twins are screaming and pooping....constantly

Come on Freak, it's more about the game day experience and the tailgate. There'll be plenty of people there.
FWIW, I'll be watching from my Hawkeye mancave.

I'll be in KC area for my daughter's softball tourney with a perfect break between her games from 2:15 - 6pm. Assuming I'll be able to see it on the ABC / ESPN2 mirror, so, OF COURSE I'll watch!
The real question is, how long?
How long will I watch Kirt and Dave continue to "probe" OSU's 8-man defensive box with Weisman and Bullock in futility, while Daniel's is doing a stop-drop-and roll on the sidelines as his jersey continues to burst into flames?
How long will I watch Braxton Miller and Kenny Guiton take turns abusing the Iowa secondary after repetitive 3-&-outs and stalled drives by Dave's bubble / jail-break / quick screen / #I haven't learned the ******* game 3rd-down offensive game plan?
How long before ABC / ESPN2 drop the "mirror" and mercifully go all-in on what should be an incredibly entertaining UCLA at Stanford game?
Buck-I 44, Hawk-I 12.

No, make an exception for this Saturday. All fans that show up to Kinnick this Saturday are true TavernHok fans!
I will be at the horse shoe at ohio college for the game. I will be very disappointed if Iowa does not compete with ohio and hope for an upset win. I love the experience of attending away games (I am lucky to be able to go to all of them). I got to see the Hawks darn near upset ohio a couple of years ago; I must admit that other than Kinnick, the horse shoe is the best venue in the BT.

I thought Iowa's first year of football was 1981?

Yes. The 'Cats play the Goofers at 11 and I will go to that game. I will DVR the Iowa game and should catch up to the live feed sometime in the first quarter. I will watch until we get down by 5 possessions.

If only we were playing Ohio rather than Ohio State. I think we would give Ohio a run for their money.

It would be awesome for recruits to see a half empty Kinnick Stadium as well, wouldn't it? That would help us recruit guys who we can develop to compete in the Big Ten, right?
I'm not going to stop coming to games because of a few bad years. I don't agree with everything the coaching staff does, but I still think Ferentz and his staff have done a pretty good job winning and competing at a place that it isn't an easy thing to do. Most importantly, I'm not going to quit coming to games because it's such valuable time with my dad, brother, and cousins. Meeting in Iowa City to tailgate is something truly special. It's such an amazing time, and one that I cherish seven times a year. Period. Who knows how many gamedays I have left with these people, but I'm going to take advantage of them while I can; whether we're winning or losing.
Although I realistically believe this game will not be pretty, of course I will watch. As a Hawk fan for life, I'll always support the guys playing for Iowa.
It's the head coach and his staff who are becoming increasingly difficult to support. With that said, I will not punish the players by not watching because of a coaches failure to keep up with the times.

You watching on TV? If so, how will the players know if you are watching or not?
It's not about me and the players knowing who's watching. It's about supporting them any way possible.

I'll be open to doing something with my wife. I may also watch the Notre Dame - USC game as a primry and DVR the hawks. either way I'll record it and tune into soundoff and be on this forum. Since it's a 3:30 start, may be home by then regardless of what activites we have planned.

Every game I don't attend, I at least start out watching. There have been a few, on occasion, that were so horrible, that I turned them off and went on to other things. I remember, in particular, a Penn St. game when my boys were young that got out of hand quickly and we wound up putting an elaborate lego castle together instead. But normally, I will watch until the victorious or bitter end. The last few years have been tough though, given the way we have rolled over in the fourth quarter.
