Simple question. Assuming that Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Michigan State take two BCS games and the Cap One Bowl, what game would you like to see the Hawkeyes play in?
 
Surely a team that has enough wins to be invited to a bowl doesn't deserve to be there. I mean... After all... We were only a few scores away from having 1 loss or being undefeated.

Did last year's team not deserve to go to a bowl game because they were able to get lucky a few times and pull out a few wins in the same fashion that we lost them this year?


Since when did we become TOO good for a bowl game?

Eastern Illinois
Iowa State
Ball State
Penn State
Michigan
Indiana
Michigan State

When you have All American talent all over the field, that isn't exactly a great resume. The only win over a "good" team is Michigan State.

Have you seen Boise State's schedule? Yet they have managed to land themselves in some decent bowl games.

I'm not saying we deserve to be going to a great bowl game. I'm saying we deserve to go. You seemed to have missed my point that we were a few plays away from having the same record as last year... if not better... But I didn't see anyone saying we didn't deserve to be in that bowl game? ...And didn't we win it? Hmm...

We play a tough schedule and this year we barely lost to a few teams that are very good. No game in the big ten is an EASY win that we can just walk through.

Yet look at some of the other teams that get good bowl bids... Are the teams they beat that much more impressive than the teams we beat?

Might not be the greatest resume, but they did get the number of wins to qualify for a bowl, so again how don't they deserve it? And the fact that your ****** about how the season went and you think this is a bad team isn't a reason that this team doesn't deserve a bowl.
 
Of course we deserve a bowl. We were 3-4 against teams with winning records and 4-1 against teams with losing records. Numerous teams with worse records will play in bowls this year.

Enjoy the bowl game and hope for better things next year. This coaching staff usually delivers.
 
I'm ****** at the team. Ultimately I voted for the Little Caesars over no bowl because I feel risking their lives in Detroit is more punishment than going to no bowl at all.
 
I would like to see the Hawks in the Ticket City bowl. I want to see the hawks in a bowl game but with competitor that I believe Iowa has a chance to beat. Outback bowl would be a matchup against an SEC team that would roll us. Insight would match us against OSU or Mizzo.
