You're welcome Wolverines fans.
 

The Hawkeyes just bailed you out. Have fun in Anaheim. Wonder where :IA: is going.

I think the Capitol One bowl in Orlando, Florida, or the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.

WooptyDoo.

As much as I could care less about the Hawks, heckuva season. All those injuries and 9-2 season.

What the hell's a Hawkeye?

Is that a small around dark brown nut that you find outside?? Or is that a buckeye,,I forget what they are called.

Ask Klinger or Radar. I think they know.

not only did the Hawkeyes win a share of the Big Ten, but the Cyclones have clinched at least a share of the Big 12 North (that's how sad that division is)...I'm not sure what's in the water here in Iowa...but we'd better get some of it down to KC...and quick!

No way will the end up in Texas.

They're going to the Cap-One almost guaranteed.

Iowa has a couple of players on defense who might just be able to help out around here.

Abdule Hodge at MLB, and Matt Roth at LDE. And their QB, Tate, might be a QBOTF candidate in a year or two.

That is the most likely scenerio for now, but with bowl bids, you just never know.

If I recall correctly, isn't the Sun Bowl an Big 10 vs Big 12 game? I couldn't quite remember if it was the 98 season where KSU was undefeated, only lost to the Aggies in OT, and even though they were in the top 5, they went to the Sun Bowl aganist Purdue.

....and lost to Purdue? Did you remember that part?

ROFL

I was practically not willing to say that to prevent any traumatic flashbacks for the KSU fans. :p

Love those IOWA Hawkeyes

Sean Considine has been very good at safety as well. I believe he started all four years. Iowa will continue to get better as they show that they can send guys to the NFL (helpful for recruiting).

It's too bad that we had the slow start of the season. I believe that we played Michigan closer than the score indicates, and would like a second shot at them (Big Ten championship game please). The other loss was that ass-kicking that ASU handed us, and I'm still not sure what happened that game...I guess we really missed our D coordinator that week.

I'm fairly sure we'll get a Jan 1 bowl in Florida, but who knows which one. As long as we don't play a team with an explosive pass offense, we should be able to win regardless of the opposition.

Nobody knows what a Hawkeye is?

Main Entry: Hawk·eye http://www.m-w.com/images/audio.gif
Pronunciation: 'ho-"kI
Function: noun
: a native or resident of Iowa -- used as a nickname

Alamo Bowl.

Shuddup.

So there isn't any such thing? Now who would have a mascot that doesn't really exist?

Hawkeye was also a character in James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans". I'm not sure if he was the source of the nickname.

Iowa was nicknamed the "Hawkeye State" originally as a tribute to an Indian named Chief Black Hawk.

Okay, for the sake of being simplistic, we'll say a "Hawkeye" is the eye of a Hawk. Hence the team symbol that is a hawk's head, including an eye.

Then you should be the Iowa Hawkheads.

Okay fine. And you should be the Rogers, Arizona Dickhead(s).:)

Seriously, if you want to poke fun at mascots, there are much easier targets than IA.

Hey, don't forget the University of Kansas "Let's ride across the border and massacre a bunch of Missurians" ... ahem, I mean Jayhawks :)

Rock chalk!

Ah yes, thank you for correcting me. It was the Alamo Bowl. Drew Brees was playing for Purdue that year as well.

Oh yeah? SCOREBOARD.

Isn't the high school in Rogers nickname the Mounties?

Its like your Heckyl and Jeckyl only yellow and black instead of blue and red.

It's pretty much guaranteed that it will be the Cap One Bowl...

The opponent now really depends on the outcome of the SEC championship game...if Auburn wins, Iowa will likely play LSU.

I was beginning to think nobody would catch on.
