Wine Online: Holiday Cheer, Bowl Game Style

[PJHawk]

Some great bowl games, do yourself a damn favor and read the article:


IOWA CITY, Iowa --Only three Hawkeye football coaches have taken teams to bowl games. Forest Evashevski did it twice in the 1950s, Hayden Fry 14 times in the 1980s and 1990s. The Insight Bowl Dec. 28 will be Kirk Ferentz's ninth trip this decade. Together, they have 13 bowl triumphs. Here are my favorite wins, two for each coach:

Nice reflection by the former SID.

Wow. I hadn't really thought about it, but only three coachs to take the Hawks to a bowl. I know Hayden and Kirk combined have been at Iowa for over 30 years and there are more bowls that way back when. But only three of all those that have coached at Iowa have taken us to a bowl.

With so many bowl games now days if you dont make it to a bowl game you are doing something very very wrong.

Well can't got all the way back to Evy so will do three each from coach Fry and Ferentz.

1. 1982 Rose Bowl even though we lost was my first Rose Bowl game and a great experience and changed Iowa football.

2. 1986 Rose Bowl my favorite Iowa team growing up Long, Station, Harmon, and company another great experience in Pasadena.
