So wait, what is the consensus on how bad we will get trucked in our bowl game? Our only hope is that USC just doesn't give enough shits to show up, but I don't think that will be the case. USC's embattled head coach will be trying to make a statement and I can think of no better way to make it than by using his 5 star WRs to "Shada" Koerner. I'm talking full on highlight reel. Double moves. 50/50 balls (that are more like 90/10 balls). Maybe a flea flicker. Unless AJ views this as his signature game and can crush their QB on the snap every play, we're gonna give up a lot of points in this one.

Another reason not to go.i still haven’t recovered from the rose bowl horror.

Our D has the stamina of a meth-fueled porn star tho. Comparatively I mean, to the offense.

Another reason not to go.i still haven’t recovered from the rose bowl horror. That was the worst fucking game in Iowa history. Iowa loses to North Decoder State? No big deal. It was early in the season on BTN overflow. No one saw it. Hawkslayer Bowl? Ahh, no one saw that. But the damned rose bowl has a monopoly on that time slot on NYD. Everyone fucking saw it. People I hadn't heard from in years sent me trollish texts. My resolution that year was to not drink brown liquor and I finished a half a bottle of scotch by halftime. Fuck that game. Thank god my wife was severely pregnant.

So the SEC teams are giving up way more points than Iowa. Morons look at that and they're like "Derp, look how good da deeeefens is we only give up da 9 points per der game." Or whatever the fucking number is. What that doesn't mention is how many light years behind the other conferences the B1G is on offense. If this team had to play Clemson it would be 35-0 at halftime.

I'll still root for Notre Dame. The sheer ignominy of finishing 10-2 and then drawing Iowa State in the Camping World Bowl is very high to begin with. Beating ISU and having them on the schedule of a season showing an 11-2 record and likely top 10 finish is excellent. Not quite as satisfying as watching them struggle to cross the 50 against Clemson last year, but it's pretty good. My brother went to Notre Dame and I damn near did. Great place, and contrary to popular belief, the Catholic gals put out

AJ is better than anyone on their O Line, and by a wide margin. It's an Aaron Donald situation. He may damn near kill that QB if said QB is making the D look bad.

My mom went to St Joseph’s academy and he said that’s why the public school dudes went over there to hang out at the end of the school day.

Idk if I believe you Plz pull up the tape of the HawkSlayer Bowl or the Rose Bowl if you want to see Iowa's defense against a real offense. Luckily, Mississippi State had a shitty quarterback so they couldn't run up the score on us.

I don’t usually root for iowa state but in this case I will make an exception. My hate for ND is above the hate I have for ISU. I'm on your side. I am hoping for a scoreless tie. I cant cheer for either side.

They were so dominant in the sixties and seventies because of Rudy they are the most hated team for anyone who grew up in that time. They've only won a single National Title in my lifetime and so I don't carry the same level of hatred toward them.

Because the Tavern Irish are fucking annoying and have this sense of pride of having picked a popular team when they grew up and never had a chance in hell of attending. ISU fans suck, but at least they know they suck, that their team sucks and their tradition sucks. ND fans think they are relevant and can do whatever they want because they are ND and don't even need to be in a conference to get into the playoffs. The NCAA needs to tell them to pick a conference and they can be eligible for the playoffs and good bowel games.

Like literally, they think there coach is Urban fucking Meyer. Also, where in the fuck are people wandering into ND fans anyways?

I think I've maybe seen one ND logo in the entire time I've been in the Souf and it's some guy who goes to my church who moved here from bumblefuck Indiana who (a) has never been to an Irish game and (b) didn't even know Notre Dame was a Catholic school until someone axed him why he was wearing Catholic school gear in a Lutheran church. Not the sharpest guy around. I just looked it up and their club down here spans two fucking states and only has 250 people. We have over 60 Iowa alums in my county alone, so I think we might have more Hawkeyes down here than Irish.

Well obviously they're in Chicago, because Chicago doesn't have a major college football team within 100 miles (unless you want to count NIU as major).
