That seems right on the high end of W’s this year.
Trying to be optimistic and assume we get a couple of breaks during the season. We got none last year. If Ash only wins 4 I still would like to see a change unless he beats PSU, OSU or UM as one of the wins.

From Coralville, you're just a few miles from the Ped Mall in Iowa City. Lots of bars, food, shops all kind of huddled together. Also the old Capital is there. They usually have outdoor concerts and such early in the season. There are lots of hiking trails close by, ect.. All depends on what your likes are.

Hiking would be good. The Pedestrian Mall sounds promising. Is the Old Capital something to visit? is that where the concerts are?
What's your go to place for a good meal...non-chain restaurant .

Here's an easy place to check. It updates also on what's going on, so you can always check back. Old Capital always has been visit friendly. Haven't been there for a while though. https://www.thinkiowacity.com/

That name triggers violent reactions, convulsions and post traumatic stress disorder from the flood damage he inflicted on RU football.

Have to try Fong’s Pizza, we ate at the one in Downtown Des Moines. Sounds very strange chinese food pizza but it was amazing. Also visit West End Architectural Salvage also Downtown.

Hey Wingman:

Do you know what sections are for visitors at Kinnick? Trying to decide to either buy my ticket from RU or on Stub Hub in order to have a good location for The Wave.

Iowa usually gives opponents decent seats on the visitor sidelines, from the 5 yard line out to about the 30. Always pisses me off for us to give good seats in groups then go to Nebr or Ohio St where there are 4-5 people in nose bleeds scattered across the stadium. To be fair, I've never actually looked for visitor tickets at Kinnick. That's just where I notice a lot of them are.

I will be going out to Iowa for the road trip. Wife is from Cedar Rapids so should be a good combo trip. Have been looking forward to this one since 2012 when we were announced to be joining the B1G. Too bad Kyle Flood and Chris Ash crushed our spirit since then.

Looking forward to some Iowa Tenderloins. Also plan on taking the train from Coralville to the stadium on gameday.

there's a train?

We're staying at the Residence Inn and I believe there is a shuttle from the hotel.

That's not true anymore. About 3 years or so they moved the visitors to high up. I used to sit 3 rows up from the main visitor section. Now am 20 or so rows up from there and it's no longer visitors.

They gave up 31 to a not that great Wisconsin, scoring above their average that year so let's kick that one out. Northwestern and MSU were not offensive juggernauts last year, MSU was ranked 125th in scoring, Northwestern 99th. psu I'll give you they played great. The improvement gets overplayed because they looked like a walking disaster under Niemann's tutelage. So they went from total disaster to well below average. I mean if we're trying to build Rome here, then yes it could be considered progress. But really we're just straining for any glimmer of hope.
That's more fair than not. But the general answer is the defense looked improved.. at least slightly. They are constantly put in tight spots by the offense as well. I have no idea how to judge out team. I do think the QB has the physical skills.. and just needs a better system to help him make good decisions faster.
