A 3 game series would be best...the only way to determine a true champ in any sport is a series... And please get all people out of picking who goes into a playoff...when humans are involved...personal bias will be #1 factor in assessing teams... But since we can't do series in football...it...

I hate ESPN now...used to have respect for Herby and the guys...take a hike.

I am very concerned about this weekend's game...but I can't help but feel this is all a bit of a perfect storm for Iowa, if you will. We are 8-0, undefeated...two trophies in the case already and 3 wins over .500 ball clubs. And by all accounts the national narrative is casting Iowa as the...

*Unless said 2 loss team is Bama...then the committee will take both LSU and Bama to validate the two losses. I do love circular SEC logic, "This team is still good because they lost to LSU who we're putting in the playoff. LSU is so good because they beat that team."

I guess we will have to agree to disagree...if you're in the Rose bowl...you're a winning football team. But I would personally never tell my grandchildren about the time I sat in World Corporation dome while slurping my 7-Eleven champion gulp....watching the Hawks play some team in the College...

Exactly. We have already discussed it, we would be in one of the groups mentioned...heck...I'm pretty young but it's sort of like the Cubs...who knows when or if Iowa will ever be back in Pasadena. You have to take the opportunity. Any season where they are in Rose Bowl contention is special.

See I think tradition and nostalgia, what people are saying the bowl games are good for, are what makes college football great. The playoff is cool and everything...but at that point why wouldn't I just watch and support the NFL? I like the NFL but it's the pageantry and traditions of college...

Yeah, and I believe Kirk even said something on the post game when they asked him about the second half playcalling. something to the tune of, "Given the score and our health it was a conscious decision to play it kind of close. Had the game situation been different we would have had to open it...

I guess I'm romantic but a trip to the Rose bowl would almost be better to me than the playoffs....watching the Hawks run out onto that field as the sun is setting in Pasadena is on my all time sports bucket list. It would be cool to see Iowa in the playoffs don't get me wrong...but I wouldn't...

Actually, as crazy as it sounds...I was just thinking the other day...IF we do win 3 more and are going into Lincoln at 11-0...the West has been won. Sure an undefeated season is nice...but the #1 goal is to win a Big Ten Championship...then let other chips fall where they may. I think there is...

It always does blow me away, you can be on the other side of the country...and you will regularly hear "Go Hawks" or run into Hawk fans or Iowans! Maybe his caddy is right and we all dislike the winter so much we look to get away...or maybe Iowans (especially Hawk fans) are just more friendly...

Well because statistically we are one of the best run defenses in the country? ha! If this is indicative of their game plan....I feel pretty good...I was worried they would dink us. Running at a decent Iowa defense has historically not been a very successful game plan. Even our bad defenses...

Personally I don't think MSU looks very impressive at all...and OSU hasn't really either (although I will admit, with Barrett back they look good)...but the OSU defense is not championship quality.

Maryland I'm not as worried about....that Indiana game terrifies me. But the jNW game did too...and these hawks just punished them. So who knows...this team is built to win. Good oline....running backs....and defense. Control the LOS on both sides and grind away.

Be at the rest of the home games....and bowl game....tbd....if...they end up in, Pasadena (knock on wood) I will make it happen....even if it means selling arms and legs. Arizona I would think about too....may try to make Indy. But if we're undefeated come black friday...I might just have to...

250?!! We're they not paying people to fill the place a couple years ago???

It is too early....but still....we are at a point in this season....where Pasadena can begin to be seriously thrown around when discussing where the hawks will go. However improbable....I'd love to see Iowa in the playoff....but I wouldn't even think to go to the playoff games....to see Iowa in...

Hahaha hahaha go cubs go!!! I don't care if you're a hawk fan or not.....knocking out the cards in one of the their best seasons ever is pretty cool. But no cubs fans are not ISU fans.....we want this title....

I said the same thing today....I don't care if this one ends 3-2 Iowa victory....just get to the bye week 7-0 and let the Hawks lick their wounds a bit for the home stretch.

Yikes....that actually made me feel worse....not a baseless rumor....something is up. He sure was non-committal...I believe we are going to see Mr. Wiegers get his first start in quite possibly the biggest game of the year....on the road....my stomach is starting to turn....
