I saw on one page that the Iowa fans were ecstatic. I think it was a local tv station out there. I just saw it on Google when I was searching the Taxslayer Bowl. I have been to Council Bluffs, Iowa years ago and people were nice to me.

First two links on google for hottest colleges...

54. Iowa
99. Tennessee

and

26. Iowa
Tennessee not in top 50

Not to mention in the past year or so I've seen Iowa City ranked in the top 25 for economical growth, smartest city, smartest city to live in, number one party school(u of i) and so on.

With that being said, f*** Iowa.

Not many people here in Iowa are happy with CKF. He looses the games he is suppose to win and cant seem to develop a consistent offense. He does really well with the OL development. Vols by 10

All I know about Iowa is they had a really good recruiting class a while back and everyone thought they were witnessing the birth of a powerhouse......then, nothing ever happened.

From the Hawkeye Report board

Doing some creeping on Twitter and Tennessee message boards. Tennessee
seem extremely confident in this game. They are essentially claiming it
should be an easy victory for them and that the Hawks will not be much
of a battle. One poster even said that if they win by less than 21, it
should be considered a loss. And, to top it off, they're talking about how they are creeping on our own boards and seeing posts of Iowa fans hoping to just keep it within a few touchdowns.

I can't be the only Hawkeye fan who has completely given up, can I?

Yeah, Iowa has
struggled more than expected this season. Yeah, we let the THIRD game of
the season slip away and were upset by our heated, in-state rival who
ended up being super terrible. Yeah, we were blown out by another rival
who hates us and has finished the regular season ranked. Yeah, we lost
to two other rivals by a combined 5 points who are both ranked as well.
Yeah, Rudock struggles. Yeah, CJB has great hair. Yeah, we underperform and, at times, really suck at moving the ball. All of that is really crappy and terrible and true. But I wouldn't necessarily
say this team is overly bad. Or, at least not bad enough where a team
with a worse record, regardless of conference, should be claiming this
as an easy victory nearly a month early. And not bad enough that the fan base should be giving up on these players who put their heart and soul into every practice and game. It isn't their fault that the coaches seem inept at times. They have shown that they can play well at times and with weeks of time to prepare, why do so many think this isn't even a possibility?

Plus, even if Iowa has
an underwhelming season, they at least tend to compete well in their
bowls. Iowa hasn't been blown out in a bowl since the 2003 Orange Bowl
where they lost by 21 to #4 USC. And Iowa doesn't usually get blown out ever. Close losses are the Hawks specialty.

I'm
not saying Iowa won't be blown out because, as we saw versus Minnesota,
it is definitely possible. I just don't get Tennessee's confidence,
especially for a team who is bowl eligible for the first time since
2010.

We should be confident but not overly confident. Remember, our guys have NEVER been to a bowl game that are on our current roster. Work, practice, prepare hard but they should have some fun too. After all, these are 18-22 yr old young adults. As to the posters on here, be classy. Yes, we want to win but no reason to put another team down. Go VOLS!

You're such a homer. This is a sucky bowl for two sucky teams in a crap city. There are so many better places in Florida to be and this is not one of them.

But enjoy yourself. I really mean that.

I went to grad school with some Iowa folks. A good, classy fanbase. For those who are going to the game, tailgating with these folks should be fun.

That want Ferentz GONE.

The vibe from the Iowa forum is that this is a matchup of two programs going in opposite directions.

Damn it, is Hurd playing? The one thing about CBJ I can"t stand, just tell us if a player is in or out. Kind of makes it very tough on us bettors. There should be an injury report system like the NFL for college.

"VolNation is far superior than our miserable forum. Their overall intellect is astounding. All of their posts are always in high regard for their team and coach. I never see a negative comment and believe that they are going to change the world with their positive energy and overall love for their football team. I for one am extremely envious of their football knowledge and hope to one day be able to walk in their shadows. They are football Gods!!" HawkeyeNation



Well maybe not word for word....:whistling:
