Iowa to the pinstripe bowl

Can they just turn it down and call it a season?
That's a problem with a bunch of bowls this year. Foster farms, holiday are no different.
At least everyone can get a cheap room in New Jersey...
This is the result of that BS decision by the playoff committee. IF Alabama had one really good win, like tOSU beat Oklahoma last year, I could understand taking a team that didn't win their conference or division. Really Alabama has about the same case as Wisconsin, both 1 loss non-conference champs with about equal schedules. ESPN lobbying the way they did with their biased self interests is just pathetic.
eh I hear from vikings and Bears fans, not to mention tons of iowa fans, that have no problem with football in the snow. Why is this different?
I sure wont be going. cold weather, high hotel prices and an unexciting matchup. sorry sitting in yankee stadium in December not my bag
Um... because most fans from Iowa want to go watch a game in weather above freezing? The players might not mind playing in the cold, but they sure as hell would rather be playing in SoCal or even Nashville.
None are exciting. Probably would’ve gone to Nashville for the party
I am talking about the fans. I'll start a post that we should dome kinnick so we don't have to sit outside in November. Watch the response. You'd think I'd shot Hayden. But playing a bowl game in NYC (where it might not be snowy and cold. Been to plenty of New Years parties in the 40s) is OMG, this is terrible. Instead of sitting in maybe 50 degree weather in Nashville or Santa Clara? Comeon' you guys are just whining to whine.
We dropped 3 contests against teams that we were every bit as good as in MSU, NW and Purdue. Win 2 of those 3 and we are going somewhere better.
Just give it up. Nobody wants to go to the Pinstripe. Team probably included
Difference between B1G conference game and a bowl game. Common man, I know you understand the difference. Have a non-con game at the end of the season up north in cold weather and fans would like it. That’s the difference between a regular game and bowl game/vacation. Not hard to understand.
just told Siri to find me Pinstripe bowl tickets and she bought me a ski mask instead.
I get your argument if you are taking NYC v. Miami. You're not. None of the possible locations are sunny beaches. It was Nashville or Santa Clara. If you are talking vacation on dec. 27. Give me NYC every day. It's not like Nashville and Santa clara are going to allow you to wear shorts, see the ocean, go swimming or take fewer days off work.
I'm sure the team will be heart broken getting a free trip to New York. Just crushed.
It was only a matter of time we would be going to this bowl, thought I read the big ten is contractually obligated to send seven different teams in eight year span with hopes to send eight different teams. Hoping the next few years we are selected well before this bowl gets a chance. Could be worse- my buddies highlight of the season was a dumb press conference introducing Frost today
I have absolutely no motivation to spend the money to fly to New York and all the associated costs. Nashville is drivable, 100 times easier to get around, and just a really cool city. I understand New York is a world class city, but it still does not excite me at all.
All 20 Iowa fans that go will be able to fit in the Hard Rock Cafe at Yankee Stadium for pregame. That’s a plus
Really? Group hasn’t won a bowl since they’ve been here just cause fans aren’t excited about matchup and location. I doubt the team won’t be ready to play and end season on high note.
Iowa connection I believe former LB coach jim Reid is their DC.
Really?There's a connection between wins and bowl destinations?
This year there was. The Iowa fanbase rep for traveling couldn’t save Ferentz this time.
Damn, I forgot about Reid. Hope he doesn’t clue everyone in our sexy offense.
Wow, most unexciting bowl game ever.
Not even sure if I'll watch that on tv. Lol
Not even sure if I'll watch that on tv. Lol
The bright side is that whatever happens next year, Iowa won't be going to the Pinstripe.
Iowa should travel out there the day before, like a road game.
I agree actually get it off the list now for 5 years.
This board is pretty ridiculous today.
