In the hours after the Rose Bowl announced the matchup would be Iowa vs. Stanford on New Years Day, I have:
1) planned my trip to Pasadena, booked hotels and plane tickets, and made calls about game tickets; AND
2) read some of the murmurings on the Stanford football forums across the Inter webz
Stanford fans seem pretty disappointed that it's Iowa and not OSU. They think they're "deserving of a national spotlight game" and playing Iowa won't give them enough attention. They claim OSU should be in the Rose since OSU played a tougher schedule. They're already saying they'll "kill" Iowa easily, naturally.
That's fine. More tickets for Hawkeye fans.
I don't think they realize what kind of swarm--fans and team--they're in for. I remember Ga Tech fans reacting similarly when the Orange Bowl announced it would be Iowa over PSU.
