Says who? By the way, when I saw that this bowl was on FS1 (one of the few), that was one of my first thoughts - no Beth Mowins.

I love the games many of you chose. So I will pick two that haven't been chosen. Minnesota, in the dome, 1982, and again in 1986. The 1982 game, to this day, was one of my most heartening wins. Minnesota's "Bad Journalist Alert expert" Sid Hartman from the Star-Tribune was one of the...

Tom Boskey - or by that time it was probably his brother, Chris Boskey.

NOT talking about the Detroit bowl. PLEASE! That was in reference that we may still be headed to the Citrus Bowl. And no - prognosticators are not nearly unanimous in sending Iowa to the Holiday. I still expect Holiday but I also know the Citrus has wanted Iowa for years.

It's a 3-hour show. I assume ALL the other bowls will be announced in about the last 5-20 minutes. This pap is worse than the NCAA March Madness selection show. DO THAT INTERVIEW, INTERVIEW, INTERVIEW STUFF AFTER THE OTHER BOWLS ARE RELEASED! Let's get on with it.

And for good reason.

For our best bowl prospects, we need Ohio State and Minnesota to win.

I have a cousin who is a huge SEC fan (Auburn) who said, before the game, that there is no way Iowa will be allowed to win the game. He said he started noticing in the SEC several years ago that, when it was to the benefit of the conference that a certain team wins, somehow they almost always...

Er - this took place 5 years before my first child was born. Never did coach my own kids.

Insightful comment, my friend. As for those who say since it's not the Rose or NY6 or Play-off 4, who cares, I will remind them of what remains THE finest finish perhaps of any bowl game ever just happened to involve the Citrus Bowl and a team named Iowa. And since we have made a living at...

I've been on both sides of this issue. I have done a lot of umping in baseball and softball and officiating in basketball. I have also been a coach in both. In basketball, the game moves SO fast anymore - and I never even once got the benefit of officiating as a part of the (now standard)...

WOW! Never heard this one. But looking back, it could very well be true. There were a couple of B1G coaches that barely wanted to acknowledge what had happened and the impact it had - different reasons for different teams, but still. As for not winning titles, Mr. Davis's teams may have won...

Maybe, but Minnesota will still beat the Badgers. You can book that.

In spending a lot of time studying the bowl rules, prognosticators and such, I'm seeing a path for both Iowa and the B1G that may be good, but may be a total disaster, especially for us. In summary: The B1G will put itself in the best position if Ohio State beats Michigan, Minnesota beats...

My question regards what people such as Geno Stone, Alaric Jackson and Chauncey Golston are going to do. I see honorable mention All-B1G for these three, but nothing more. Still, it makes me wonder.

If words mean things, Epenesa was speaking yesterday after the game like a man who just played his last game at Kinnick (which I believe). Wirfs talked like a man who would be coming back. Just sayin'.

OK, so I got Purdue, Nebraska and Wisconsin terribly wrong. But who's making fun of my Minnesota prediction now? I know, they could easily lose out from here on in. But I saw the weak schedule from the beginning. With them having to play Penn State before they play us and us having to play...

I agree. And that is totally inexcusable when they had essentially three weeks to get ready for that team. ALL on the coaching staff - this team was not ready to play Saturday, period.

OK, I'll bite. Which record was that? By the way, I agree with the poster who said that pickins' were pretty slim for good venues for GameDay last week. That said, I still think Kalamazoo, Michigan would have been a better choice, for the "directional Michigan" shoot-out (Western beat Central).

OK, Mr. Highlander - I've always wanted to ask questions about you guys. And I will ask indulgence from the other Iowa fans, but hey - this topic has gotten so far off-subject anyway. Understand that, while on the one hand, I sat next to an uncle at the Iowa games in the '70's who absolutely...
