I agree with you. I know January bowl doesn't have the cache it once did, but it still means something. A win in this bowl game will get most of us back to drinking the sweet-tasting oh-so-lethal KOOL-AID

I remember reading how we would match up against TN a couple years back. How'd that go for us????

They drew Wisconsin again. They might like that even less.

Agree. And ISU STILL won’t make a January bowl!I agree with you. I know January bowl doesn't have the cache it once did, but it still means something. A win in this bowl game will get most of us back to drinking the sweet-tasting oh-so-lethal KOOL-AID
I don’t think people realize that Outback picked Iowa ahead of two or three other B1G teams, but there always has to be something to bitch about I guess.
I went to the Rose Bowl in 2015.
Also, went to the Outback after the 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2016.
Outside the Rose Bowl, the Outback Bowl has the best overall bowl week atmosphere.
I've also been to the Sun, Alamo, Citrus, Orange and Gator Bowl, as well.
No one should be complaining about going to a bowl game on January 1st.
And I mean, no one.
Yes, we should've done better on the field this year.

Over under on ISU/Washington State may approach triple digits.

I've heard weather conditions at the 1983 Gator Bowl were miserable.
Temperatures in the 20's, damp and pentetrating, similiar to last year's Pinstripe.
Florida beat us, making the experience even more miserable.

Likewise....I've been to the Outback (3x), Cap-1 (1x) and the Insight bowl. I guess you could count the 2015 B1G game as a bowl game.
3 wins and 4 losses.
All in all fun. Tampa roxx. Orlando suxx. Phoenix...meh.

Everything you said is 100% accurate. I'll cheer and watch just not overly stoked about it.

Iowa vs. a prolific offense or Iowa vs. a great defense. Gimme the game against the great defense.

I think anytime you matchup against an sec team its a chance to show what you're made of, even in a non-bcs bowl game. You're going to be playing on new years, on tv, against an sec team that usually plays bama tough. chance to show some recruits what you're made of. also, since we have a studd receiver from Mississippi right, it could open up some avenues in miss, if the hawks play it right. this game can be an absolute positive for the program. I did however think immediately, man it'd be nice to have noah in this game, against that defense. chance I guess for our senior oline guys to show people what they are made of. This will be more than anything, a manhood game in the trenches.

There you go again...making good sense.
Well I sure bet all the players and coaches wanted the Big 10 Champ in 2015 really really bad. I disagree with your assessment that but they all want to win every game they just dont know how to do it or dont have the horses
