It's 19 degrees in Iowa City and 76 in Tampa


It looks bad when the team from Iowa brings more fans than the team from Louisiana, when you're playing in Florida.

You're paying for a flight whether it's from LA or IA. Plus, Iowa fans use bowl games in FL as a break from Winter.

Yep. Not so long ago we used to brag that we didn't just travel, we take over. Not the case anymore. Our fans bitched when we went to the Capital One Bowl a few years ago, they bitched about going to the CFA Bowl last year, now they bitch about going to the Outback Bowl.

Teams in the North and Midwest that have solid fanbases use the bowl game each year as their opportunity to leave the winter. Most will spend a week or more in FL.

LSU fans are driving or flying over for a 2-day trip.

It's obvious you have never been to Iowa city. Starksville or Oxford is like going to Vegas by comparison. It's a shite hole. Lived in another shite hole Iowa town, fort dodge for 10 years. We a transfer presented itself I left for the South. If you think Bama fans are arse wipes they pale in comparison to chicken hawk fans. They still brag on tying ohio state for the big ten title several years ago. They pay their coach in excess of $3 million just to get them to a toilet outback bowl.
