Insight Bowl must be having an orgasm

[BSpringsteen]

Insight Bowl is about to have premature climax as it relates to the possibility of Iowa vs. Nebraska in their game.

1. Two teams who had NC aspirations this year.
2. An intense border rivalry starts 10 months early
3. Suddenly a game of national relevance.
4. TV ratings
5. The fanbases will actually travel like this is a BCS game.
6. Both teams will care intensely about the outcome of the game, something that in truth doesn't occur in any games outside of the NC game, or maybe the Rose Bowl.

A win for either team probably even validates an otherwise disappointing season for both teams.

I disagree with 5, but there may be 25,000 fans for both team in the stadium, many who live in the state of Arizona

Facing Nebby may reinvigorate the Iowa fanbase. If this is true I think more Iowans show up in Tempe than first estimated.

8-12k Iowa fans will travel
12-15k Nebby fans that will travel

A really good walk up..........If I'm on the Insight Bowl committee I would take that.

If Iowa is playing Nebraska I think 15,000 to 20,000 Iowa fans will be there, anyone else and yes I think closer to 10,000.

It'll be a far cry from little sis playing minny rodents of last year. To bad it starts late for the people on the East coast.

I have felt all week that if Iowa would get to play Nebraska, and beat them, while it will not wash away all the pain from this season, it would be the best possible tonic out there to take away some of it.

TRJ, no offense, but you underestimate Iowa fans and their intense dislike for Nebraska.

I'm confident 15,000 Iowa fans will make the trip. Maybe more!!!

Iowa will play better if we can get several injured players back in the lineup.

I press the 'like' button on this one.

I would love to be wrong on this......It was just an early conservative estimate.

I said to my buddy today that everyone is talking Iowa v Neb in Insight Bowl. I Told him he might as well grab an ink pen and mark down a Neb victory tonight..

I'm still holding out for a better bowl. I refuse to settle, but it feels as though it is a done deal. Nebby is probably going to win anyways.

I think Insight is going to be getting a bad case of limp dick if OU doesn't pull their head out of their ***.

Probably a safe bet.....nothing like B. Stoops in a big game.

Like I said with everyone talking up the Iowa v Neb matchup you can almost guarntee a Neb victory tonight.

On cue Neb just connects on a 53 yard FG. Now lead 10-0

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

They showed replay of his 53 yard FG. That ball would have been good from 73 or more yards oh my goodness, that dude has an INCREDIBLE LEG. WOW!!!

hahahaha! I was just derisively thinking the phrase "Big Game Bob" when I read your post.

Didn't you used to have Mike Tomlin as your avatar, or am I confusing you with another poster?

While Nebby is doing well and, i now believe, will win (the bonus of guessing after 1 quarter), it seems like we could/should make sure we are all of us are ready to play Mizzou....

But the game ain't over yet

Yeah, that was me.......decided to go with a little old school Dr. J. Brady owns the steelers and the road to the Super Bowl probably goes through New England in the AFC. Got ****** a couple a weeks ago and changed it.

Guess we better get ready for Gabbert and Co down in Tempe.
