Don't flame me here, because I love the Hawks. I have been to almost all the stadiums in the SEC and the Big Ten. There are only 4 football stadiums in the Big Ten (Iowa, PSU, WIsc, OSU) that match the enthusiasm and intensity of the ones in the SEC. Even the ones on the bottom half of the SEC (Ole Miss, S. Carolina, Miss State) have more exciting atmospheres than Mich, Purdue, Minn, etc. Thu, 13 May 2010 13:35:56 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/05/12/if-i-were-king-iowa-would-play-a-football-game-at-some-of-these-10-venues#IDComment75250777 http://gazetteonline.com/sports/2009/11/02/if-iowa-wins-out-should-they-play-for-a-title#IDComment41679330 I have been an Iowa fan my entire life. I have also been an Alabama season ticket holder for 10 years-one of my sons went there to school. I have also watched every single minute of both teams this year. Don't flame me here since I love the Hawks, but Alabama is better. The teams area actually similier-great "D" and poor "O". There is no way Iowa moves the ball on Alabama-they have the fastest defense I have ever seen and probably have 5 NFL players on defense. They also have a fantastic punt returner (Arenas) and great kicker. They also don't turn it over. Bama wins this game by 10 points at least. I hope I get to see it!
