Bloodbath.

This is actually one I wanted as an early start. The later in the day the more jacked up the fans and players are going to be. Clones win this one easy.

Iowa State has had one "easy" win over Iowa since they made the series competitive again, and that was in 2005. History says that when Iowa wins, they win big regardless of venue. When ISU wins - save 2005 - it's a squeaker, regardless of venue.

Na. I think Iowa runs for a ******** of yards and wins this game.

This would be my preferred offense this season. And a legitimate chance to win. Win several games. I think the o line was ahead of the d line early this spring which is unusual, so we'll see. In any event, it won't be a bloodbath as some are predicting. At least I wouldn't think so predicated on the backs staying healthy.

Indeed, I hadn't really thought about it like that, but it really does sum up the recent rivalry.

Not during KF's tenure, which is pretty much when the series became competitive again.

All his wins in Ames have been blowouts. All of his wins in Kinnick against ISU havent been what I would call "big wins", with the exception being 2010.

2004, 2006 and 2008 were all pretty close games.

17-10 in 2004, 27-17 in 2006 and 17-5 in 2008.

If iowa gets 300 yards rushing this game is blowout...........Whoever the QB ends up being will have open receivers all over field with the PA/waggle stuff. The QB would have to audible maybe twice the whole game on what 12 pass attempts. That would be just the ideal scenario.......unfortunately that ain't gonna happen.
 
I don't buy into the myth of the late game, that being that the fans have all day to drink and will be more wound up and thus provide more of an edge/atmosphere than they normally would.

-People who use a college football game as an excuse to get heavily intoxicated will do so if that game is at 11am or 5pm. I doubt that there are less drunk people at an early game simply because they ran out of time to consume enough alcohol. People get up at 2 am to get a spot and start drinking.

-Being drunk doesn't give you a magic ability to be louder or cheer for more sustained periods, alcohlol does not increase phyiscal abilities only one's confidence in their physical abilities. The only possible extra advantage would be the increase is swearing or other belligerent behavior which is unlikely to be heard by the other team or affect them in any way if they do.

-Late games often coincide with big/rivalry games and thus you can attribute the veracity of the crowd's response to the circumstances of the game rather than the time of kick-off.

I agree with this for the most part. More drunk fans won't make it any louder it will just make the word choices more inappropriate and vulgar. Honestly, it will result in more students thrown in the drunk tank prior to the game because they can't handle their alcohol. Two years ago I sat on one of the hills and their was a big fat girl in a skirt who was an ISU fan literally passed out drunk face down on a slab of concrete near the bleachers. She was all wet and god knows what was on her. People were taking pictures of her the whole time and she didn't move an inch. I'm still not sure how she didn't get kicked out or arrested.

The later time will end up in more arrests, and that's about it. It won't have any effect on the outcome of the game. As others have said, IMO this game is a toss up. ISU is at home and has a history of giving Iowa trouble. I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to see them eek out a win again. However, if Iowa's running back stable stays healthy they should have no problem putting up over 200 yards on ISU's defense. If that happens Iowa should win. Either way I expect it to be another close one.
 
Iowa wins this game.

My gut feelings the past few years have been spot on.

Iowa also surprises a lot of people this year, and does quite a bit better than many think. Last year was an exception, not the norm.
