You go, because you never know when something magical will happen.I'll be debating all week whether I should sell my tickets. I didn't see the Michigan win coming last year, but how Iowa can keep up with the Buckeyes is beyond my imagination. I was there for the PSU game, and looking back at it, that game was miraculous. OSU makes so few visits to Kinnick anymore, but a 63-0 visit wouldn't be much fun to witness. I dunno.... hate to go, but hate not to go....
I would not be shocked. We have won many games like this in the KF era. Go Hawks!Who on here would be completely shocked if Iowa won? Probably not many. Ferentz has been upsetting teams he shouldn’t beat for years.

Yep, like you said, no one predicted Michigan or PSU either so.... While OSU looks way more explosive then Michigan last year,(especially at QB), the wolverines were rolling a lot of teams by big scores last year as well, and Iowa put the Kinnick magic spell on them. We'll know before the half. If the Hawks can make it a game for the first 20 minutes, they might make it interesting.I'll be debating all week whether I should sell my tickets.

Ferentz has an uncanny ability of pulling upsets or scares of teams when he's a gigantic home dog. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens next Saturday afternoon. I'm not really expecting it but put it at 20%. Which is probably higher than most people think.
You speak from experience, do you?You could do what a lot of other people do. Sell your tickets, then if it turns out to be a classic Hawkeye victory, you can tell everyone you were there. As more and more years go by, you'll actually believe it yourself.

Maybe, however Iowa's game at Wisconsin looks very winnable.This game calls out for a fly over!
Its OSU, not PSUBetter hide the women and children for this one!
Well at one point Musberger did say "You can hear the whole state of Iowa right now."No. I can only think of one time I sold my tickets to a game, and it was because I had been given different tickets elsewhere in the stadium.
However, I do believe I've personally met 250,000 people who were at the '85 Iowa-Michigan game.
7-0 Hawks win. Ferentz ball style.If the Hawks score first, it's an Iowa win.
Book it!
I don't have the same vibe as going into those games (MI and PoSU). Those games were, "Eh, we'll probably get blown out, but let's just go see what happens." We've done it enough times now that people are almost expecting it, like how everyone was going off about how PoS needed to watch out for us this year. If that makes sense.I'll be debating all week whether I should sell my tickets. I didn't see the Michigan win coming last year, but how Iowa can keep up with the Buckeyes is beyond my imagination.

What in my comment suggested it wasn't?Maybe, however Iowa's game at Wisconsin looks very winnable.
Ohio will most certainly be 1) overlooking Iowa and
2) find it tough to get-up for this one, like they did for
Pedd State.
GO HAWKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully you also had the great pleasure to be in your seat for some of the great wins as well. PSU with the students wearing GREEN, for Shonne, or last years Michigan game, or heck even the Pitt game when that ball split the uprights from almost 60 yards! Here's hoping that this Saturday will be one of those games, us far away Hawks will all be envious we weren't in Kinnick.I sat through every Iowa home loss from 1968 through 1978 before Hayden finally rescued the program and built the foundation that KF was so fortunate to inherit. I've sat through, or watched on TV, every game since. So I've seen 57-0, 63-7, and too many similar losses in person. If you haven't, good for you. When those blowouts happen and you're in front of your TV, it's not so bad. But when you've driven for hours, spent all that money, sat in the cramped seats of legendary Kinnick Stadium in less than perfect weather, and Iowa's trailing 35-3 at halftime, well, it's a pretty awful feeling. After all these years of watching the Hawkeyes, I just don't know if I want to risk it. We'll see....
Bunch of panzies on this site and in the fan base. Iowa is damn near 8-0 right now with two ranked wins, if not for some incompetence by our offense and a lucky TD by PSU as time expired.
We've given up 13.8 PPG in B1G play and 13 of those points came on a last second TD and in OT. People act like Iowa is all around trash and it's all boiled down to too many mistakes by a young offense. If they can hit a few big plays Saturday and force some opportunistic turnovers there's no reason they can't pull a stunner.
It obviously could go the other way in a hurry, but man is this fan base soft.
