I would love to see an Alamo Bowl matchup between the Huskers and Hawkeyes! HuskerJosh, I've lived in Des Moines now for 8 years, after 24 years born and raised in Omaha. I am a devoted Husker fan, and proudly take heat for it here in Iowa. Being a resident, I can tell you that Iowa is a good football team. They do not, as you put it "suck". They never get the talented recruits that the Ohio States and Michigan teams do, but they have the coaching to make up for it. They may have 4 losses this year, but each one was by 3 points.and most were lost at the end of the game. This Iowa team could very easily be undefeated and they did beat the #3 team in the country.(Fluke or no fluke...it's something we haven't done in a very long time) In fact, they have easily beaten more top 25 teams in the last several years than we have. I've been here, I've seen it, I know. People under-estimating them is exactly why they are able to win big games. We are only just starting to play well again, so don't get on your high horse just yet. Show them some respect. Notre Dame??? Are you serious?? Do your research Josh! Although I do believe that the Big 12 is far superior when it comes to offensive output, the Hawkeyes pride themselves on hard-nosed defense....and defense wins games. We all know what the Big 12 "m.o" this year has been....allow points, and just score more points than the other team. OU does it. UT does it. NU does it. I think it would be a great game against a solid team. Potent offense vs. gritty defense! (Oh and by the way, they have the best RB in the country by far. 100 yds+ in every game this year) Beyond that, I think it would be fun to have a border matchup. Think of how many people grew up in one state, and now live/work in the next? There are tons of Husker fans at my office here in Des Moines, and undoubtedly there are the same types of things going on around cities and towns in Nebraska. The Iowa fans travel very well, and are good fans when it comes to sportsmanship. Lets give them some respect and hope for a chance to get friends and family together for a rare bowl game border battle! Bo Big Red!
