So I'm planning to go to a game at Kinnick next week... for the first time since the last time we were 9-0 and #8 in the AP. Should I nix the trip?

How do none of the polls have Ok St ahead of Baylor?

And the Iowa page here also is filled with Iowa State stories. WTF?

Cancel it now. Seriously, not just for the Hawks but also for CJs health.

Too bad we couldn't switch opponent with ISU on Saturday. Make it a double header with Okie State. First we get to knock off the #1 ranked Cowboys in wrestling, and then the #5 ranked Cowboys in football.

Love to see Northwestern and Wisconsin finding their way back in.

They never should have been left out. They are 15-4, losing to #3 Alabama, #8 Iowa, and #15 Michigan. They should both be 5 or 6 spots higher.

Unfortunately it's pretty much certain one of them finish outside the top 25 since they have yet to play each other.

Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Pitt -- combined, their worst loss has been to #17 North Carolina

Iowa has lost the last 7 games I've attended dating back to 2004, including losses at ASU, UofA, NW in 2009, Nebraska at home last year, Western Michigan to close out the miserable 2007 season...its been an awful streak and I told myself before the season started that I wasn't going anywhere near a stadium where Iowa was playing this year. I'm sure as heck not changing that position at this stage...could only bring bad juju and I would never forgive myself if I changed my mind, went to a game like next weekend against Minny only to see a 9-0 streak snapped again. Nope, no way, not going to happen.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

I've been to one or two games every year for 11 years, and they have won every time I attended (even that crazy Halloween game against Indiana that I thought would ruin my perfect record). I'll be there Saturday to even it out for you MauiHawk. Now I guess it is just up to the players on the field.

Thanks Cruo!

I was there too. Told my kids tonight that we were staying away!!

Well, just as Cruo has volunteered to cancel out my impact, maybe if you could find your own volunteer...
