Mike Hlas the long time Iowa Sports Columnist for the Cedar Rapids Gazette www.gazetteoneline.com today said that the Orange Bowl to be played tonight between Iowa and Georgia Tech is a chance for the Hawkeyes to define their future.
I could not agree more.
In college football there are marquis programs and solid programs. This is the difference between schools like Iowa, Wisconsin, Cal, and Arizona and the big boys. We win our share of games and are always tough but in the end the Iowa's of the world end up in the Capital One Bowl ranked 5 or 7 while the big boys play for everything.
A win tonight over Georgia Tech in a major bowl will change all of that. Hayden Fry Iowa's legendary coach never won a Rose Bowl. Kirk Ferentz has not won a BCS game either and tonight he can ascend above Hayden's ghost and become an elite coach and move our program forward.
I have been reading allot of smack about Iowa on line. The fact is that Iowa is not flashy but it is solid and I think that the fact that it will be 36 degrees in Miami tonight will help. Georgia Tech will fall to Iowa 21-16 and Iowa will be ranked in the top 5 next year looking forward to having Penn State, Ohio State and Wisconsin at home are the stars aligning?
