Greetings from Iowa City
First I want to wish all the Wyoming fans coming to town safe travel and warn you that Iowa speed limits top out at 70 on I80 (I have heard the limit gets pretty high in parts of Wyoming) As a 30 year employee of the University and 30 year season ticket holder who lives within walking distance from the stadium I will be happy to try and answer any questions about parking, food, drink, etc near the stadium and in Iowa City. To visiting fans, Iowa has its share of douchebag fans but they really are the minority; if you want to have fun and can handle a little good-natured verbal back and forth most of the tailgaters around the stadium will welcome you with respect and interest (Iowa is not the destination center of the universe so most Iowan welcome visitors; especially visitors from more vertically orientated) Iowa City is a very progressive college town in the midst of a fairly conservative state so there will be Iowa fans at the game from all over the political and social spectrum. I don't know if we have this in common with Wyoming but students who cant get out of bed for a 2pm class are out drinking at 6am on gamedays (they are the bleary-eyed ones wandering around the stadium area before dawn with cases of Natty Lite on their shoulders. If you are driving into the game be prepared to pay anywhere from $20-$40 to park you car on someones yard (prices go up closer to the stadium). You can park out by the Coralville mall (~3-4 miles away and take the Hawkeye express train into the stadium area. The train exits and departs about 100 yards from the stadium gates. Across the street from the stadium are about 15-20 different food vendors with enough selection for most tastes (food in the stadium is overpriced and pretty blah - hotdogs, brats, pizza hut pizza, etc) Once you enter the stadium you can not leave and reenter again. This practice originated after 9/11 but is primarily a way to drive up internal concession sales. The stadium has some strict rules about what you can bring in. Check out this site before you go and leave other stuff locked in your car or hotel room: https://footballgameday.hawkeyesports.com/allowed-items/

Before I forget, I expect Iowa to be prepared for this game. Contrary to many POVs expressed previously, in Iowa City the fans and team are getting a daily diet of how Wyoming's QB is going to come in and embarrass our relatively young Hawkeye team. The Hawkeyes come into this season with the pundits predicting a 9th or 10th place finish in the conference and outside expectations are pretty low. Meanwhile we are hearing that Wyoming is planning to springboard into national prominence by beating up on a B1G team. In my 19 years experience watching Kirk Ferenz teams, they are never more dangerous than when they are flying under the radar. Kirk just does not manage expectations very well but he is really solid at circling the underdog wagon. I guarantee that he and his coaches have been preaching non-stop that the world is expecting little Iowa to be ass-kicked by big bad Wyoming on Saturday. I will be surprised if the team does not come out of the tunnel with an us against the world attitude.

Anyway this games end, we all wake up Sunday a little hung-over and our lives go on which is much better than our friend in the Houston area can say. I hope everyone has a great gameday experience and that you take some good memories with you from your visit (scenery sucks for the most part but Iowa does have some pretty farm country and mostly good people)

Warm Regards

Now Ghost, this is what I honestly expect from a true Midwest poster. Polite, hospitable by providing helpful information, yet sticking up for their team yet not in a total DB manner.

Now Expat, fuck you. You don't get to tell me how to behave. The OP was wondering why there were no Iowa fans in here talking trash, so I came in to talk trash. Sorry my trash talk wasn't polite and informative, I forgot I wasn't dealing with real football guys, but instead a bunch of backwater nerds who don't understand big time football and need their beta egos stroked. If you had a team that mattered, you'd realize that this kind of thing goes with the territory.

I'm not sure what "big time" football would do without you.

Probably continue to rekk nerd like you, just like it did for 100 years before me, and what it will do for 100 years after me. I'm just a good-looking cog in a much larger machine.

Iowa lost the 2013 opener to Northern Illinois. They lost the 2016 game to North Dakota State.

Wyoming is 1-14 in openers vs. Iowa's 14-2. Bowling Green was lone win in 2011.

I think Iowa wins this one, but if game plays out similar to Northern Illinois or North Dakota State, then the Cowboys may steal one at Kinnick?

Iowa's O-Line is better and healthy compared to those two games mentioned. Iowa was missing two key OL last year.

In 2008, Wyoming (4-8) beat Tennessee (5-7) 13-7 in last Power 5 win, but not in an opener.

It is a new season, and that is why the games must be played.

Any given Saturday ...

Someone is getting awfully testy, yeah Cowboy Junky I don't think this is Dre. This guy is not near the troll Dre is.

Here is the deal, I grew up in a Michigan household. I have family who are Michigan alumni. Want to talk "big boy" football, yay you guys beat a Michigan team with a poor QB, good for you, but the Michigan QB that game stank, it was awful. Put Allen on Michigan... yikes. There is a reason the national press loves this guy. I just hope all the camps and additional coaching helps improve the mental part of the game.

As for telling you what to do, meh, I have a lot of family in the midwest. They tend to value being decent, hospitable human beings. Not my fault you aren't living up to the Midwest reputation.

Ghost has got to be that d bag from the MWC board. Oh, and IOWA is one of the 4 worst states I've been to. Quite the crap hole

Where's Dino when we need him, LOL

Haha. He's back in Cheyenne, who knows. Maybe he'll pop back up on here in some form...

It's a pretty safe bet that KeepitrealWyo is one of Dino Costa's false identities, since the account registered exactly one week after Dino insulted Brian Hills mother and got ran out of Wyoming.

Why didn't he just pick a name that fits his identity like: Adolf Eickmann or KK Karl?

How did he come up with Bert Randolph?

It won't be long before his name is Clayton Bigsby...

He's kinda like herpes. Just when you think its gone..............just like that it rears its ugly head!
 
I have to say this thread has had some of the best trolling and for the most part just an all around fun atmosphere which we don't always see that early in the season so props to all of you fun read.

Ur an fucking idiot. We have the coaching staff from ndsu that built them. Return to ur cave troll. Obviously u have no manners or respect in other teams forum. Maybe ur dino

1. You don't have the coaching staff that beat Iowa.

Oh my god. You're insufferable. You do know that that "VAUNTED" coaching staff at NDSU was the brain child and result of the man now leading Wyoming right... Everything you saw last year as NDSU rolled over you was a direct result of the coaching and hard work of Craig Bohl.... You get that right? You think Wyoming hasn't been watching that game on repeat seeing how they utilized Bohl's system to exploit your juggernaut Iowa?

Do you have any idea how stupid you sound when you talk like that?

Because you have absolutely no history of your own to stand on, you're just going to steal valor from the school your coach used to be at? Well, our OC used to be on Bill Belachik's staff, so you're basically going up against the fucking Patriots on Saturday. Good luck with that.
No dumbfuck, the same scheme that beat Iowa last year, at home, by a school in a lower division, is the exact same scheme being put into practice by Wyoming. Jesus. You're annoying and dumb. We're not stealing valor. We're trying to explain to your dense ass why we think Wyoming has an above average chance of winning this weekend. BECAUSE WE RUN THE SAME SCHEMES THAT BEAT YOU LAST YEAR. You Iowa fans like to pound your chest and tell us peons how you recruit better than us and have more "history" than us but seem to forget that a Bohl disciple led an "inferior" team into Iowa City and took care of business. There is no reason to think Wyoming can't do the same.

LOL Schemes. Are those the same schemes you took into Nebraska last year, and they mercilessly beat you?

Wyoming does not have an above average chance of winning. There are numerous reasons for that, least of which is "DURRR OUR COACH USED TO COACH A TEAM THAT BEAT YOU URRR"

I give you a 10% chance of keeping it within single digits.

Oh hey guys. Looks like I was optimistic with that whole 10% thing.

It's funny, most of this board act like Dino is the scum of the earth yet it appears atleast some of you still follow his every move. if you hate him so much, you put him on the level of one of the worst human beings to ever live (Eichmann), why do you give 2 squirts of shit what he's doing with himself now?
 
I haven't followed him, but I'm concerned if he's once again involved in any capacity with Wyoming sports and inevitably has another meltdown that somehow has Cowboys associated with it.

While unlikely to affect recruiting, it certainly could have an impact.
