Are you happy with the Music City Bowl?

Yes and yes.
We may be playing our 4th string QB in the game.
I’d like us to face an Alabama some year, especially a 3 loss one. But, probably not this year.

i’m somewhat excited not specifically about the opponent but more to see how iowa operates with some new pieces
I think we have a good matchup, a chance to finish the season with a win over a ranked team. That would be a good springboard into 2025
Yes. I bought an Iowa v Missouri button at hyvee the year the game was canceled during Covid. I can’t wait to pull that bad boy out and show some vintage style to my friends when we watch the game.
On a more personal note, the game date/time sucks for some travel I have planned. Not really even sure l’ll get to watch it. But that button, though!!!!

Didn't matter what bowl we went to, it wasn't the playoffs.
I don’t mind playing in Nashville, but I wish the opponent was different. A different SEC team we haven’t played would be better like Bama or Ole Miss.
Exactly- Missouri sucks but yeah they had a few good years and beat OSU last year in their bowl game but still isn’t a big named program
We have beaten all border rivals this year(sans Illini) Neb ,Minny,Wis,NW...might as well make it a clean sweep over an opponent in our recruiting sphere.
I am fine with it, but win.

Considering that I was concerned about a 6-6 season after the UCLA game, I'd have to say I'm ok with Nashville. Great town.
When it looked like we'd have an SEC opponent, I was hoping to face Ole Miss or aTm, but I'm ok with Mizzou. I have a cousin playing his last game for them.

Happy? The Music City Bowl is the midfield punt on 4th and 2.
I'd say of all the possible bowls \ opponents this is probably the most winnable for the Hawks.
Yes, 20 minute drive to stadium. Prefer playoffs but this will be easy.
Nashville is quickly becoming the new Las Vegas for me. The shine and appeal is starting to fade.
It matters but it doesn't at the same time. Great for the program to get a good to pretty good bowl game. Good for exposure and practice time. Great for young players that are going to have to probably play given the climate today.
To me it feels more like a hyped up scrimmage for most the these bowls. Still will watch and will want to see the Hawks do well but I am not going to take a lot of stock in the outcomes.

Considering the QB situation this year, 8 (potentially 9) wins is a minor miracle. Knowing what we know about Cade's skillset and losing the #2 and #3 guy things could certainly have been a lot worse.....
It's not the sexiest bowl in the world, but given where we are as a program, playing a ranked opponent in a bowl game seems like a solid draw.
I just hope Iowa makes a better bowl showing than they did a year ago.

Agreed. And I want to see more of Sullivan. I think the kid can be pretty good based on what we've seen so far. And Stratton can throw, if they let him, so it would be nice if he'd get a series or two.
And the fact that the defense took a step back. It was a crazy year. In some ways very lucky to win 8. In other ways very disappointed in not winning 11. Barring a major roster overhaul via the portal, next year Iowa could be better in many areas but have a much worse record.
NO. But mediocrity has become our ceiling.
It's about the level the team deserves. Mizzou is a better matchup than many we could've drawn but without an offense I agree that we're likely to get killed. KJ isn't going to be around to save the day. The last couple of years against quality opponents is pretty clear.

I want to win and finished ranked. I would be surprised if we went 9-4 and weren't ranked to end the year.
Well they’re a top 25 program who clubbed OSU last year who beats us by 30 every year. They’re a pretty good team my man.
They haven't beaten anyone this year just like us. Beat osu with back up qb on par with ours. Osu had best receiver in the country sit out too, among others.
We would have had a chance. Osu was unmotivated and qb play was terrible. More often than not misery is a joke.
Nope. Its mid day on a Monday. I work so I wont be watching. Dumb.
