Voice of the Hawkeyes Board

I can't see us not losing the next 2 games by under 20. Our Offense hasn't done anything all year, and our defense is tired, beaten up and not very confident.

For us to be even close we have to dominate in turnovers, and score on defense or special teams, which sadly we've done and still lost to teams like Purdue and Indiana. An ugly season just gets worse and worse

Solid prediction Todd.

I'll say 24-13 Michigan....I hate picking against the hawks . Prove me wrong hawks.

The line in today's NY Post says OFF and yesterday USA Today had Michigan by 1 and the over/under was OFF. Are they still waiting for the status of Denard?

Let's Go Hawks!

michigan 31---iowa 7
sadly, i think this one could turn into a memorable butt kicking if iowa comes in soft.

31-20 Michigan.

Last I seen was Iowa +20.

I like it alot. Too bad i dont bet on any State of Iowa teams.

Im picking the Hawks the next 2 weeks.

20-16 Iowa.

I don't bet, but I'd feel good about taking Iowa at +20.

it saddens me to see iowa at plus 20. it saddens me further still when it occurs to me that it isn't enough.

We'll see what happens, but I'd be pretty surprised to see Michigan cover that spread.

You can sit at home instead of supporting the team and supporting Hawkeye football, but my brother and I will be at the game supporting the black and gold from beginning to finish, along with thousands of other Hawkeye fans. People like you may give up in support of the team, but you can be damn sure there are many more who will stand up and take your place. Black and gold will dominate Kinnick just like we always do. I'll leave it at this for now.

I hate to even see my own score prediction in print. I would never say Iowa could not win this game. But, I am afraid with the difference in flat out athletic ability, Iowa is justifiably a 2+ touchdown underdog. And, they are really fragile at this point. Maybe with a couple of big breaks, especially early on...

I drove to Iowa City from my home in eastern Wisconsin for the Howard game, traveled to the Ann Arbor area today, and will be at the game tomorrow. I never really considered staying home.

Interesting: I am in the Holiday Inn Express in Chelsea MI about 15 miles from Ann Arbor and the Big Ten Network crew (12-15 I think) are all staying here. The gal at the desk said they are good guys and that they never stay in the game site city. They spend a lot of time talking shop and prefer not to have others hear their comments.

So, Michigan 34, Iowa 10. Geez, that hurts me.

college football really isn't a battle between cosmic good and cosmic evil. i swear it is really a game--and i swear that fans really aren't participants. interestingly the quotation you begin with is most likely drawn from an early 20th century anti-alcohol sermon. the guy who said that would have onlookers stop tailgate parties--instead of doing nothing. have a great time. yell your pants off. enjoy your beer. just don't moralize about proper fan behavior. it isn't armageddon.
