Iowa will probably be 3-0 when Penn State comes to town. Could be a fair amount of hype for that game.

2-1 or 1-2 is more likely

 

[Pepperman]

2-1 or 1-2 is more likely

The history of a KF team would suggest 2-1, but I have absolutely no clue how one could think this team starts 1-2?

 

[Birky]

2-1 or 1-2 is more likely

Possible, yes. Likely?

I have a gun to your head, and I'm pulling the trigger if you're wrong. What is Iowa's record after three games?

Now, I would think about it. Coin flip between 3-0 and 2-1.

Wyoming and ISU are both 50/50

 

[SWIowahawks]

2-1 or 1-2 is more likely

2-1 is possible. 1-2 means you're a troll.

 

[Pepperman]

Wyoming and ISU are both 50/50

Then you should have an equal chance at 3-0 as well, but you didn't mention that possibility.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I stand by what I said that 1-2 is more likely than 3-0

 

[Pepperman]

I stand by what I said that 1-2 is more likely than 3-0

I disagree, but that's also because I don't place the same win probability on Wyoming as you do. I will agree that (somehow) at ISU is a 50-50 given history and it is the only game they care about.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Wyoming has a solid coach in Bohl and a legit first round draft pick at QB

I know a family member of Bohl's quite well and she is very excited to see her first game in Kinnick in September. I tried to get some info on the Wyoming playbook but it didn't work. Said Craig is very happy there, building the program very similar to NDSU and while their QB will be taken very early in the 1st round, he can be a bit erratic and force throws and they lost a fair amount of offensive production to graduation.
Jewell and Niemann will need to have good game to contain him and Allen is a decent runner too.

 

[Ree4]

Supply and demand ya'll

 

[IAHawk2011]

The Wyoming game is not a "coin flip" game. Iowa wins that one 7 or 8 times out of 10.

 

[ichawk24]

Wyoming and ISU are both 50/50

Wyoming is +400 and Iowa is -500 according to the books. Easy money for you, lay a bunch on Wyoming.

 

[trippnschmidt]

I stand by what I said that 1-2 is more likely than 3-0

It will most certainly depend on how practice goes for Wyoming and Iowa State the week before we play them. As for ticket price, seems pretty similar to years past. Bitching fan likes to bitch.

I haven't seen a line yet, but that kind of moneyline is usually consistent with something like -10 or -10.5?

 

[naturalmwa]

With all the TV money, tickets should be $20 bucks and concessions should all be a dollar. Make it easy to bring the family to a game. Bunch of greedy bastards.

Isn't that how the clowns fill their stadium?

Then demand would outweigh supply at those costs. Many fans who are willing to spend way more than that would pursue tickets aftermarket, and many fans complaining about the U being greedy for charging market price, would then turn around and sell their cheap tickets for market price, pocketing the same profit they were complying about the U taking.

I see no downside to that.

Gonna need some better weeks of practice to bring those prices down.

I might throw a grand or so on Wyoming

That's like betting against Iowa baseball in the Big Ten tournament....

hoping for a losing season again huh?

still prefer to see KF make less money instead of seeing Iowa win more game? ok.......

how many times have we started 0-3 w/ KF?

Where did I say Iowa would start 0-3?

my bad
how many times have we started 1-2?

 

[Kurt Warner]

2-1 or 1-2 is more likely

If we start 1-2, I'm gonna be pissed

How many children actually attend these games? Btw 3k and 10k? I have no idea.
And at what age does a childs ticket get increased to an adult priced ticket? Is it equal to a movie type ticket?

Iowa has 7 days to raise FB revenue to the max availabe. If you cant figure that out, dont go. Dont pay.

We aren't going to agree. The purpose of a state sponcered nonprofit sporting event should not be to maximize revenue. It should be to gather enough revenue to sustain the program and provide the fans with the best experience. The TV money means the scales on ticket prices should swing in favor of the fans.

Never gonna happen as long as FBALL and BBALL have to support all thee BS sports no one cares to attend or watch....

That's just it. Attendance for those games no longer has to support all the other sports. The new TV contract does that. You could make the games free and still have the revenue to fund the programs. We are rich. We are a non profit state foundation. It's time to invest some of this new wealth into the fans. Take care of the alumni. Now when we start paying the athletes, I may rethink, but today we are awash with cash looking for a place to be spent. The obvious solution is a "tax cut" for the fans.

I assume you live in Colorado and smoke weed...cause this is never going to happen.

 

[markfromj]

Then you should have an equal chance at 3-0 as well, but you didn't mention that possibility.

I do not think this is correct statistically. If two events are each 50/50, aren't the odds that both happen 25/75?

This is where you lost me.

Wyoming has a solid coach in Bohl and a legit first round draft pick at QB

Supposedly a bad defense and little else.
