    FISHHEAD- does IOWA have a chance tomorrow?

    seems you have been touting them to suck all season but maybe they have surprised you? I don't think they get past a very strong MSU team tomorrow. actually think the Spartans handle them quite easily.

    your thoughts sir? TIA.

    MSU hasn't won in Iowa City since HW was in office.

    Like Nebraska/Penn State, this game isn't even close to worth touching.

    You have the superior teams -- Nebraska and Michigan State -- on the road facing a lot of variables and intangibles that you just can't cap or predict until the game starts.

    Intangibles most do not know............

    1. Cousins grew up a Hawkeye fan and attended several games in Kinnick growing up.........

    2. Iowa finds themselves surprisingly controlling their own destiny as far as the BIG TEN title is concerned.............if they win their next four games, they are BIG TEN champions.............MSU, @purdue, @NEB, title game.

    I hate when people use this term but Mich St needs this game more, they can not afford to lose if they want a shot at the Big 10 championship, I'm sure that has been a huge focal point all week in the locker room and practices. they are still a top 5 defense in the country and that keeps you in games on the road. Mich St likes to play the same smash mouth physical type of football as Iowa does and IMO Iowa will be over matched and outclassed here.

    Dude, if Iowa wins they're tied for first place and they control their own destiny in the Legends Division.

    Cousins is a cerebral guy who tends to overthink on the road. He pressed badly in the loss last year at Kinnick, and I don't see why this game would be any different until he proves otherwise.

    Cousins' mom was a cheerleader at Iowa and his grandpa played for the Hawkeyes. He's more than just a fan; he has roots.

    I like Iowa in this spot.

    I think Iowa runs the ball well enough to drive Michigan State nuts.
