    My Rose Bowl Experience Part 3: Everything prior to the game

    Ha, that is hilarious and spot on. What really blows is I'd love to celebrate the RB, but I'm not about to put up a print or buy a shirt that is just a reminder of that debacle. Iowa fans didn't even get a quarter to think about winning. Amazing how quick the decimation occurred. As Pat...

    Howe: Special Season Despite Crash Landing

    If u are in top 4 throughout year and ultimately in the Rose Bowl, there is an argument to be made that you are in fact a top team. Many pundits argued against that fact all year and many hawk fans defended the team. When it came time for the final exam, Iowa flamed out proving many neighsayers...

    Howe: Special Season Despite Crash Landing

    Regular season wins were nice, but it's hard to really celebrate a team that had 2 games to claim their status as an elite team and lost both, including the RB in totally embarrassing fashion. To me this Iowa squad is a good team that ultimately was the benefactor of a weak schedule.

    RB Tix Falling

    Not even a little regret? If you bought 4 of Prime's lowest cost tickets that would have been in excess of $4,000 (with "fees"). Can now get 4 tickets for less than $1,000. I know people in this boat and there's a bit of regret there, and some other emotions.

    RB Tix Falling

    We are talking about football tickets here rather than water rations to keep some perspective. However, it is not possible to refute that the opening marketing campaign was set up to encourage quick (and expensive) decisions based on fear. It worked to some degree, but I think there is a...

    RB Tix Falling

    People were operating under the assumption that as Iowa fans "we are in this together" in terms of reselling of tix. Not true. Lesson learned. Also, it's hard to sympathize with people whining bc they way, way overpaid for these tix during that first day or two. The "cheapest" ticket was like...

    RB Tix Falling

    Friend got 2 for 250/each and I saw them in the high 300s on StubHub. Plane tix, at least from Chicago are still 1000+ for anything decent. That is going to affect ticket price bc lots of people simply aren't going to pay that.

    What is the most you have actually seen people pay?

    Laissez-faire economics. Would you have it any other way? With that said, I find the situation pretty sad, but nowhere are Americans entitled to low prices RB tickets. The people running this stuff are just preying on emotional attachment people have to their teams. I work with guys that paid...

    Damn expensive roses. Holy smokes.

    $1200 for a ticket and "tailgate". WTF? Best part is that it says cash bar for liquor.

    Damn expensive roses. Holy smokes.

    I'm all about Capitalism, but this is a joke. I'm getting tickets from the university, but if not, there isn't a chance in hell I would give this Prime a Thousand dollars for a standard ticket. It's actually pretty insulting. I've got a large contingent that go to games with us and everyone is...

    Price gouging at is finest. Pretty despicable. Face is nowhere near that.

    HN Podcast B1G Recap - WTF?!

    I enjoy listening to the Podcasts. However you have to understand that Steve believes the U of Michigan is the greatest institution, FB team, lawn dart team, etc., that has ever been created. He can't help interjecting an air of superiority any time UM comes up. U just have to know that going...

    USA Today: Iowa FB is cure for Insomnia

    http://www.usatoday.com/longform/sports/ncaaf/bigten/2015/08/26/college-football-preview-big-ten-conference/32312665/ Good overall B1G preview. Bare bones on Iowa. Can't really blame them.

    Can't believe I'm saying this but I hope half of the season ticket holders

    I don't think that new contract is until 2017 and the 50M is best case scenario from what I have heard. Admittedly it is a ton of $, but empty seats will rule here because it is a perfect barometer for the health of your program. My gut feeling is 2015 is going to be a train wreck and Kirk will...

    Can't believe I'm saying this but I hope half of the season ticket holders

    I'm out after 13 years. Not going to give my $ to an AD that clearly has no clue what to do with it. $100M in stadium upgrades, $55M for new practice facilities, $4M/coaches = .500 team and 50th ranked recruiting classes? Hard to reconcile.

    Get your tix!

    It's a good message to Barta, Mason & KF that their incompetence has worn thin. I am sure Gary won't relish writing that 200K+ check for those bowl tickets. Lot of $ to essentially throw out the window. But, hey, the coaches get bowl bonuses I'm sure!

    Do Your Part - Do Not Purchase Bowl Game Tickets

    It is going to be a very under attended game. Much of the Iowa fan base is in the tank, the time/day of game is lame and plane tickets are insane if you've looked. Not to mention that Jacksonville, FL might as well be called Armpit, FL. Are Tenn fans going to show up in droves? Seriously doubt...
