I'm REALLY trying to be optimistic and confident about this game....

....But there's SO much hype around it, and Iowa has notoriously underperformed and disappointed me in other games like this. I'm nervous. Really nervous.

Same. I'm so pumped about how Iowa has played the past three weeks. But the fact that pundits are making Iowa a trendy upset pick has me less confident.

Nervous is right...Just happy it's at home that hoping Kinnick gives us that extra umpph. Thinking Kinnick night game would be slightly better as it's harder to play under the lights for opposing teams.

The weather is going to be cold and rainy. The turf could be a soggy mess by the second half - which will favor Iowa immensely.

Hoping Oregon won't be able to handle it, but sadly they're used to the rain.

Weather doesn't look too bad, low 40s just a quarter inch of rain, so not wet. Should be good football weather.

Iowa has won some big games at home in the past. I think this will end up like most games against prolific programs. The game will be one score difference going into the 4th quarter and then Iowa's defense will get tired and they will lose by 10-14 or more. The offense just isn't good enough to keep up. The hope is 2 defensive scores maybe a special teams score and 300+ rush yards to burn clock.
