Bowl Thoughts, Anyone?

[Ripcord280]

don't know that much about bowls, but either 8-4 (no Indy), 9-4 (split & lose at Indy)or 10-3 (win both & lose at Indy) where do we go?

can't go to Music City, and would think Citrus would not want us 2 years out of three, no matter how well we would travel.

Gator in Jacksonville or Tampa, maybe, seem most likely. Or, how about that one out in Vegas around Christmas Day? who would be our likely opponents?

the suspense is killing me, as it always does this time of year. Some of you more erudite peole please enlighten the rest of us idiots.

Going to win….the.whole.freaking.thing.

 

[nu2u]

any bowl vs. Alabama. Proctor allows 3 QB sacks two of them are strip scoop and score. Stevens adds 3 FGs for 26 points, Iowa D with a late 4thQ INT to seal it 26-20.

Cotton would be great.

 

[Underscore2]

Rose.

 

[markfromj]

Rose.

No chance. It’s a CFP game this year.

 

[iasooner2000]

Holiday vs OU would be great, imo

Feels like Missouri or Ole Miss in Orlando.

Seeing a bunch of prognosticators saying that.

 

[SolarHawk]

If it’s in Florida I’ll probably go, so rooting for that I guess.

Way to go old school!!

Seeing a bunch of prognosticators saying that.

but would they take us two years out of three? we were last there following 2021, weren't we? but I'd like the location/matchup.

 

[Zooropa_NCR]

my hope is that we play a team that had a competent offense.

I don’t want to see more of Big10 West football in a bowl game.

We know our offense will be crap, so how about we give our defense a real test for once.

 

[iasooner2000]

Hope you guys face Tennessee
Or maybe you’ll get a chance to embarrass Mizzou

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Cotton would be great.

Cotton gets my vote!

Penn State wasn’t a test?

 

[Zooropa_NCR]

It was a test and at least one team looked competent. It’s so tiring watching Iowa / Big10 West games where it’s always 0-0, 6-3, 7-6 going into the 4th Q

To each their own. I personally am not enamored with big offensive numbers when the defense is totally incompetent so I prefer to watch games with high level defense being played.

 

[HawkAlum2002]

I'd be perfectly happy playing a team who's offensive starters decide to sit out again like last year and shut them out.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

I miss the Alamo Bowl. That’s a great place to go for a game with the Riverwalk.

Yup, San Antonio is a great city to visit for a bowl game.

 

[NI hawk]

Absolutely love the Alamo Bowl. Hopefully with Pac 12 disbanding Alamo Bowl gets affiliated with Big 10.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

Cotton would be great.

The last time the Hawks sniffed the Cotton Bowl was 1985. Reps on hand in the event the Hawks lost at home to Minny in the final game.

Not a bad consolation prize.

I'd love to make that trip.

You don’t want to play Alabama.

 

[Mountain Man Hawk]

I wish we would play USC just to see the most stark contrast in styles possible but I doubt it happens.

I bet Williams sits out at QB.

So you think Alabama can score on our defense?

Hadn't thought of that. Makes sense. Maybe we'll get the Holiday and Sun Bowls back, too.

[Grumpy Old Hawk]

I agree. Kind of game I enjoy most was the Iowa vs Michigan State title game. We lost I believe 17 to 14 but was a great hard-hitting game.

FYI, Citrus loves Iowa, and especially KF and staff. They would REALLY love an Iowa vs. LSU "rehash". As long as that possibility is out there, team-wise, the gang in Orlando has its collective fingers crossed.

10 safeties, plus a scoop-and-score TD with a missed 2-point PAT, Hawks win 26-20.

There, I FIFY!
