[Clones21]

I have twitter hashtags set up for "hawkeyes" and "cyclones", which is very entertaining.

Also cool...Bo Williams just tweeted from the locker room.

Whatd he say?

Via Bo:

In the locker room gettin my mind right for this big game.... lets go cyclones

 

[rbrook]

I think you're right.

I'm trying to get all my "chores" done before the game, and trying to make that difficult judgment call about when to switch from coffee to beer.

Same here. Let me know when I should switch!!

Ha...same here....I'm about done with chores and will be switching at 10:35.Exactly 30 minutes prior to kickoff.

No kidding, it's 8:15 where I'm at.

Good morning from Jack Trice. If you guys have any ? during the game - I'll try my best to answer them for you. I'm taking notes so don't get upset if it takes a little bit to get to it but this is my first one of these....pretty excited for it.

 

[isucyfan]

That was a little ahead of my schedule, but I can roll with it.

Thanks for taking charge. :wink:

Hey Matt, good to see you in the game thread.

First question is an easy one: What's the vibe there? Have you seen the teams and their body language?

 

[isucyfan]

It's very interesting monitoring Hawk fans on Twitter...there are a BUNCH that say, "Go Panthers and Hawkeyes".

Our suspicions are confirmed.

I watched the team come off the bus....Austin looked very focus....Coach Rhoads had his game face on and looked like he was thinking "Wow, I'm coaching Iowa St. vs. Iowa". I wish I was in his locker room before kick....Good student turn out as you would think....

Here is something odd - I talked to a couple who bought tickets in the Iowa section. Did you know that Iowa returned 4,000 tickets from their allotment for the game? Wild

Were you able to walk the tailgate areas? If so, what did think of the atmosphere?

I don't think that is true, I believe their allotment was only 4,000 tickets. I believe they only returned about 1,200 of the 4,000.
