It’s a fvcking curse.
Really crappy attitude to have. I don't like ESPN and haven't watched GameDay for years other than the picks at the end of the show, but it is the most recognized and watched college football pregame hype show, and constantly features all of the marquee programs in the country. Iowa City being featured should not be something that we try to avoid.

There is such thing as changing historical trends....just look at our OC/QB.

This is exactly where I'm at too. Amazing exposure. They will love the wave as well, etc.

Yep…the exposure is good for Iowa. Wonder what the over/under will be on the # of corn field pics they show? I’m guessing at least 4 times.

THIS is the opportunity to break that curse! The opportunity and the inches we seek are all around us!

Exactly 20 years ago since game day came with OSU in town. That game was miserable, I was there. I’ll probably sit this one out. Go hawks, keep it respectable this time.
I sat out the OSU game in 2017 because I was absolutely convinced Iowa was in for an embarrassing defeat, so I sold our tickets. And you know the rest: The Hawkeyes made #3 Ohio State look like little boys as Nate Stanley and the gang decimated Urban Meyer and his boys 55-24, one of the worst defeats in OSU history, and I believe the most lopsided loss in Meyer's career.

You can be sure I ain't sellin' my tickets this time. I'll be there with 70,000 other folks ready to do whatever fans can do to help the Hawkeyes shock the world for the second week in a row. History doesn't have to be prologue.
