Last year? Please tell me you’re not serious.We would have had a chance. Osu was unmotivated and qb play was terrible. More often than not misery is a joke.

You sound like a hater. You either need to follow another team or stop trolling.Last year? Please tell me you’re not serious.
Yes, I always look at it as a chance to watch my favorite team. Some games are duds for us but others we win and they make great plays.And more importantly the opponent?
Happy that is a winnable game. Some other match ups would be much worse.And more importantly the opponent?
Would love Ole Miss but Bama would beat us 41 to 6 .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.
Given what we're losing, it'd be more of a nice send-off.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
Naah, 31-13Would love Ole Miss but Bama would beat us 41 to 6 .
AgreeNO. But mediocrity has become our ceiling.
We played OK a few years ago when they were a power team with a couple of losses, we didn't look good.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.
An argument could be made that last years D gets the Hawks W's v MSU, UCLA and ISU.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.
I watched Proctor a lot when Bama is playing over the last 2 years and he would handle hurkett in pass protection. He is so long he swallows up guys like hurkett and makes them disappear.I would rather see Hurkett and the DL get sacks and QBHs against Proctor, but this is a good game and matchup for the 2024 version of the Hawks.
C'mon, man. That Cotton Bowl was the biggest farce so far in this era of opt-outs. Every quality player on OSU skipped that game, and the rest didn't care. Mizzou is a solid team and probably better than us across the board, but as far as ranked opponents go, this is about as good of a matchup we could have asked for.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.
I’m not disagreeing about that. But they didn’t play an entire team of backups, and it was still OSU, my point being Mizzou is still the 2nd most talented team we’ve played this year. Again, they’ve struggled a bit this year against some teams but if we’re not ready to play similar to last year we will get beat.C'mon, man.

Nashville's weather is nicer then the Pinstripe Bowl this time of year.And more importantly the opponent?
This ↑Sad, but this is the first Iowa bowl game in quite awhile i won't see live because of the truly horrible day/timeslot (and relative insignificance). Just can't justify clearing a nearly full day of scheduled work to watch it live.
Like 100 other schools. You need a better team.Don't care. We're irrelevant.
B.S. you misspelled Debby.NO. But mediocrity has become our ceiling.
You predicted Iowa in the playoffs? Seriously? No wonder you seem disappointed. I expected 10-2 with a January bowl, but you must have been really keen on the Hawks.Didn't matter what bowl we went to, it wasn't the playoffs.
Nothing wrong with watching a game on DVR. Avoid commercials, plus you can have a bio break or grab a beer whenever you want without missing anything.Sad, but this is the first Iowa bowl game in quite awhile i won't see live because of the truly horrible day/timeslot (and relative insignificance).

10-2 in the Big Ten gets you in the playoffs.You predicted Iowa in the playoffs? Seriously? No wonder you seem disappointed. I expected 10-2 with a January bowl, but you must have been really keen on the Hawks.
They a certainly a big enough name, they are ranked in the Top 20.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
Really? Some here said a 10-2 Iowa wouldn't.10-2 in the Big Ten gets you in the playoffs.
This! But KF will think we are playing for a Natty and will play not to lose for a game that means nothing.Don't care. We're irrelevant.
Kirk is brighter than you, he knows we aren't playing for a natty. But you know this is b.s. don't you?This! But KF will think we are playing for a Natty and will play not to lose for a game that means nothing.
Well if I as a John Q Public can tell you what play the offense is running on each down then maybe he’s not that smart and I think by our offensive stats shows the other teams knows as well. Apparently you don’t realize the defense is why we have the wins we do. When is the last time you said “Well thank god for our offense”. Freakin KF apologist. Hey that’s really neat you like this crappy yearly offenseKirk is brighter than you, he knows we aren't playing for a natty. But you know this is b.s. don't you?
Some people such as you, evidently.Really? Some here said a 10-2 Iowa wouldn't.
Evidently not to you. Thanks for the reply.FIFY
So, we can look forward to all of you who don’t care not complaining about the game you don’t care about?didn't make the playoffs so don't really care
