2005 Cap One bowl vs 2010 Orange Bowl

[bcl20]

This may be a stupid question but cut me some slack. I'm drunk and in pure ecstasy. But do you feel better now, after a more "traditional win" in a BCS bowl or after the dramatic win in a pretty good but not great bowl?

I'd take this win over the Capital One win/finish every day.

This one, because its the BCS.

BCS is a monkey off the back

Other than one series Iowa's domination of this game was something to behold and feel really good about. A great way to win.

I felt better after the Cap1 win...purely because of how it went down, from deflation to jubilation in a matter of "Tate to Holloway"...but this is the biggest win I've seen and will rank ahead of the Cap1 on my list of "SuperCoolAwesomeTasticness".

Edit: I was also at Trophy's for the Cap1 when what seemed like 8 BILLION people suddenly erupted, adding to the moment.

BCS. Enough said.

The Cap One bowl was a better "shock ending", for obvious reasons, but long term a dominant BCS win will surely taste better than a fluke win in a lesser bowl game.

this is better

BCS and a defensive butt-whipping. This is better by far for me.

Plus I get to wear my IOWA stuff to work tomorrow here in Georgia. Nice.

I was at Cap One, ooh wow, what a finish and great game, but... eh, this was a BCS bowl victory for us AND The Big Ten (again), and easier on the stress heart meter. That LSU game was a big win, but this will mean much more to us the fans, the team, the University, and even the state of Iowa than the CapOne game!
