    Totally disagree that Iowa wouldn't have competed well--and likely beaten--Michigan this year (in Iowa City, at least) The Wolves were improved, but hardly invincible. Ohio State would probably have been another matter, but then again, maybe not had the teams met earlier in the season (Indiana...

    Howe: Special Season Despite Crash Landing

    I was really glad to see Rudock do well in the bowl game but good grief, Michigan faced a bad Florida team, not an elite team like Stanford (did you see Rudock struggle in some of Michigan's other games). Claiming that Rudock magically acquired new and improved QB skills this year is absurd. He...

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

    "It was as though 60,000 Iowa fans just watched a litter of puppies get thrown through a wood chipper." Best description of the day. Maybe the week!

    PAC 12=Classless

    Wow. A lot of Iowans with thin skins, it seems. I'm as proud of an Iowan as anyone else but this reaction is exactly what the Stanford band wants. It was a freakin' halftime performance, folks, by a band famous for being irreverent (how DARE they?). You might consider seeing them as a breath of...

    The Hawks still need more speed and exposiveness

    It would be a lot easier to secure those speedy talented skill players if the Hawkeye State produced a few every year. Unfortunately, it doesn't.

    What's your surprise level?

    Iowa is better than they have looked today but not sure how much. Stanford was very well prepared for this game. Iowa, not so much.

    IOWA one for the ages vs. Stanford Rose Bowl game thread.

    Boy do we need a big time wide receiver.

    IOWA one for the ages vs. Stanford Rose Bowl game thread.

    Not over yet. Score here and make a little comeback in the second half. Make it respectable, at least. BTW, how the heck did Northwestern beat this team? Unfathomable.

    Hang in there Hawks. One play at a time.

    Need a first down here. Very badly.

    IOWA one for the ages vs. Stanford Rose Bowl game thread.

    Stanford just plain better across the board, so far at least. Hawks desperately need a touchdown to gain a little confidence and pick up the intensity.

    Sometimes the other team is just better. Dammit.

    Mental Appraoch to the Rose

    Agree with FranklinHawk. However, I question those who think history (Pac 12 payback, "best Iowa team all-time", etc.) will somehow play a part in the team's attitude towards this game. I doubt it works that way with today's generation. To me, this team played the whole season with a mystical...

    Schlabach's predictions for bowls

    Kannell's confidence in Stanford might be rooted in believing Iowa has given its best shot of the season and therefore might be a bit deflated after the crushing (spiritually) loss to MSU. This team will somehow need to recapture its resolve and come into the Rose Bowl with a chip on the...

    Iowa remains #4 in playoff rankings (NM)

    Go Hawks!

    Playoff or Peach, that's our fate folks

    If this team misses the playoffs, they need to win whatever bowl game they end up playing. Finishing with a win very important for the team and the program going forward.

    GameDay to be at B1G championship game.

    And so what? So what if none of them picks Iowa to win (actually, at least one of them will because it wouldn't be good TV if they didn't)? Why get worked up about it? Let 'em talk. It's all good. Nobody can ever change the fact this team is 12 and 0. Actually, some of the national media's...

    How Do We Beat The Huskers?

    paulzoss summed it up very nicely. IMHO, this could/probably will be Iowa's toughest game so far for all the cited reasons. We Iowa fans have every reason to be excited about what's transpired so far, but all good things come to an end at some point. Should things not go as planned against...
