There is one--and only one--way for the Hawks to win tomorrow. It has to do with pre-game prep, and the answer lies within an encrypted message that I have personally de-coded.

After a little research...
No college fields are heated, and only a couple of NFL fields are.
My guess would be that it's a pretty large expense for something that would only be used for one or two games.

The goofs field is now heated I believe with the Vikings using the stadium last year and this year. In 2010, they let snow sit on the field all week. The snow melting at the bottom froze onto the turf so when they finally removed the snow, there was a sheet of ice. Their solution? Get a bunch of idiots to use hammers on the turf.

The field was an absolute travesty, but unfortunately can't blame the Iowa loss on it.

With the snow coming today to Iowa city, I don't see the ice issue happening to the turf tomorrow.

I am sure this has been answered on here before but me and a buddy of mine were just talking about snow removal for the field tomorrow, and I thought the

... best course of action was to give the first 30 fans to enter the stadium flame throwers and melt all the snow before kickoff
