I would like to see us go back to the bowl scenario and retake the Rose Bowl. Why people continue to confuse having 1 vs. 2 with finding a cure for cancer baffles me. The BCS involves too many compromises around the tradition that has always made college football so great. From a B10...

Okeefe4prez - is this the same BB that has not played in a January Bowl since 2008 and went to back-to-back Champs Sports Bowls? You should focus on your new team which has bowl struggles of their own: I believe no bowl wins since 1949? Man, you are an idiot. Go lick the flag pole outside...

The B10 made the announcement this afternoon knowing the the story of the day would be the bowl matchups. It's called "throwing a story out with the trash" - you announce something when you know more significant news will overshadow it immediately. They didn't want any attention paid to it...

The Big 12 is a second-rate conference that makes bad decisions - that is why two members are leaving and the rest of them are hanging on by a thread. The have one more month to "punish" Nebraska for leaving and then they will watch the Big 10 flourish while Beebe sits by the phone waiting for...

I agree with Stormin' - we are going to play Nebraska every year. To me that is less alluring than the chance to beat someone from the always-overrated SEC. Our record against the SEC in bowls is a feather in our cap.

You forgot to mention Zook's mastery of Minnesota and suburb coaching job in the 2004 Outback Bowl. Shouldn't you be out painting your dog purple or something? A real Iowa fan would not be ******** about the drive to Iowa City or the cost of his seats. Take your love of Fitz and get off this...

Why don't you celebrate your newfound NU fandom by transferring over to their boards? The sooner the better...

I am tired of Northwestern, their ridiculous Barney uniforms and their pathetic High School stadium. We are stuck with these clowns in our division from here on out and Saturday is the time to put them on notice that it is going to be different from here on out. There is no reason that they...

The northside stations all have neighborhood parking nearby. You should be able to find a spot on the street near the Belmont, Addison and Sheridan stations. Keep in mind that many of these "free" spots require a parking permit after 6pm. They are good for 24 hours and most of the residents...

There are not a whole lot of options around Ryan Field and with the early kick they will probably not be open much before 11am. The Chicago I Club is sponsoring a couple of tailgates that you can purchase tickets to beforehand. The Merkles tailgate is sold out but it looks like the Goose...

That hook and ladder they pulled on us last year caught us totally by surprise. I would think they will try something Saturday.

I would like to watch the game this year. Does anyone know: When and where and is it open to the public. Let me know. Thanks.

I met Jon at WEEK while he was interning there. He was a great guy and I can understand his dislike of the hours in TV. If I had not met my wife there I would not have lasted the 12 years that I did in the business. It is great to see him doing so well. Thank you for all of the information...
