9000 tickets left is not pathetic. Besides this number will go down by the time the game rolls around. It's such a hassle to go to games. I would much rather be at home in front of my 60 inch, protected from the cold, having a better view than I would have from Kinnick, not having to fight the crowds, being able to watch all the good games that are on this weekend, being able to eat and drink whatever I want and not pay $7 for a beer, and being able to sleep in instead of driving 3 hours to watch Iowa play Purdon't at 11am on a Saturday.

On no......not Beth!!!!!! Such a terrible voice for football.......should really stick to women's hockey or something like that.

You are right.....terrible voice in general. She does not even have a voice for radio. Iowa deserves better than this.

Barta should have put in his email that Beth was doing our game on tv. That should sell at least 5-6000 of the remaining tickets.

I listen with the radio sometimes. The tuneIn app has the games for free. Just play it then pause until the tv broadcast catches up.

Beth being there should drive everyone to buy tickets! It's going to be about 32 degrees with a chance of snow but that is better than listening to Beth Mowins as Iowa clinches a division championship.

Nobody thought of that. Thanks.

Is there a radio station in Iowa that even comes close to the action on TV? A lot of times if I'm doing something around the house and listening to the game on the radio, I'll hear a good play, go to the TV and watch the play. There's almost a 10 second difference, which makes it tough. I've tried a couple of stations, but none are close. They're different timing from each other, but still not good enough.
YESSSS!!!! Kinnick is selling BEER now?

Honest question: Would you feel this way if you didn't have a 3-hour drive? What if you lived in IC?

I'll answer because I'm in a similar boat as he is except I only have to drive from Des Moines and I'd still rather stay home. If I was in or near Iowa City I would definitely be at the game. No question about it.
My biggest issue with going is... drinking and driving. I don't want to risk it and I'm old enough and aware enough to realize that it's difficult for me to abstain from drinking too much in a tailgating environment. I get caught up in it and I convince myself that I'll be fine because I can sober up during the game. While there is a little bit of truth to that it's still incredibly stupid to get in my car and drive back to Des Moines. The roads are packed and I80 can be dangerous. It's not a drive anyone should be making when they aren't 100% sober.
My wife is pregnant with our first and has no desire to go with me. I'm the most responsible one of my friends by far. I don't know or trust anyone to go with me who would stay sober enough for me to trust them driving. So for these reasons it's a no-brainer. Stay home, have some drinks, and enjoy the game with my wife and friends. The peace of mind that comes along with that is worth it to me.

You can thank Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson for that. The ritual growing up was my dad would mute the tv and turn on KFAN to listen to Paul Allen call Vikes games (the signal here for Hawks games wasn't good enough to do the same for them).
Then one wardrobe malfunction put an immediate end to that.
