Anyone willing to ship one of these Iowa mags to a Navy guy out in Hawaii? Haha! I actually get to come back to the mainland for the Iowa vs ISU game this year. Hopefully the magazines wont be sold out; sounds like something I would really like to have. Great stuff as always, Mike!

I couldn't agree more, as I have been saying this for years. BUT, it's those geriatrics that donate the dollars so the university is compelled to give them better seats. Its really too bad becuase I have seen some FANTASTIC basketball environments where the students are darn near on top of the court.

I think they need to move the student section to resemble some of the more active venues in MBB. Stuck in a corner, running to the top row isnt the way to go. Get them along the sides and close to the floor. At least those students that do show up will provide more than the 65+ year olds currently surrounding the first 15 rows at Carver! And yes, I know those older folks are the ones that donate and fork over the money for those seats...but there still is room to move the students closer to the floor!

While it is exciting to see the Hawks picked so high to start 2010, it always seems as though Iowa had better seasons when beginning the year ranked low, or not ranked at all. Here's to change! Also, should the Hawkeyes have a year like they did in 2009, it will be interesting to see if they can climb to 2, or 3 considering they won't spend 3-4 weeks clawing through the top 20, 15, and 10! From past years its seems that you need to start at the top to finish there! Guess we'll see!

It took almost 5 minutes for Iowa to score a field goal? Wow!

I read on a CFB board that Boise gets (wants) $1 million+ for a game. And they wonder why no one will play them? Why should a team like Iowa dish out that kind of money (some poster said upwards of $2M) to play BSU? If Boise wants to build its reputation, perhaps they should make it a little easier on the BCS schools that would be willing to shcedule them. Fiesta win or not, Boise does not deserve that much money when other schools in their conference are playing the BCS Big Boys for 1/2 to 1/3 of that!

What you say is so true. I had a long conversation with my dad about this. I told him how badly I wanted to support the team, but it was really tough. For lack of a better word, it's painful to watch this team play; and I feel bad saying that. It would be different if the squad were full of 4- and 5-star talent and just wasn't producing; but these guys are playing their hearts out...and its just not enough. Unfortunately, at this level you're not going to get fans who dish out money for tickets just to make the kids feel good and feel supported. This isn't Jr High. People need to see results before they're willing to buy the tickets, drive into Carver and take a seat. It'd be nice if we could FF'wd a couple years to see these guys as Jr's and Sr's before making any judgement...but seeing other teams, including fellow Big Ten teams turn around with new coaches within a year or two is making Hawk fans patience grow thin!

I think everyone using the argument that Iowa has been chosen over fellow Big Ten teams with better records in the past has forgotten which teams Iowa was selected over, i.e. Northwestern last year. Iowa, in my mind, has usually been chosen over teams that cannot compare to Iowa's following, hence their selection to the better bowl. Now comes the dilema of two Big Ten teams with very similar fan and TV following; and THAT is why so many are bringing the 'Iowa beat PSU at PSU' argument to the table. One would think that now, with so many comparables, the Fiesta would have to look at the head-to-head. Just my opinion.
