Time to Write It in Pen: Iowa Will Play in 2010 Fiesta Bowl [UPDATE: Iowa to the 2010 Orange Bowl]

Yeah, um, not so fast. See update below.

Elfullmexicans_medium
Mission accomplished, El Full Mexicans.

After all the wishing, wondering, and worrying, it looks like the bowl situation is going to play out just like we deep down thought it would during these last few weeks. Iowa is, by all accounts, a done deal for the Fiesta Bowl; there's no similar confirmation for the opponent, but everyone assumes it'll be Boise State, which, okay.

Here's a roundup of the news as we're seeing it right now:

@marcmorehouse:

Fiesta is Spanish for "party."

Also from Morehouse, but yesterday:

Iowa is pulling out the stops to impress the Fiesta Bowl committee. According to a source, Iowa has sold 17,500 Fiesta Bowl tickets. That’s the entire allotment. That’s has to impress Fiesta reps and calm fears that Iowa’s entire bowl representation would be Iowans now living in Arizona. (Fears from the greater Phoenix chamber of commerce.)

@SeanKeeler:

Jerry Palm just called to say that a source out east told him Iowa to Fiesta, done deal. No confirmation yet.

PennLive.com:

Penn State sources just in the last few minutes have begun saying that they believe Iowa is headed for the Fiesta Bowl. That means PSU is headed for Orlando and the Capital One Bowl, very likely against Louisiana State.

The Fiesta Bowl committee was scheduled to begin deliberations only at 2 p.m. EST so a consensus must have been reached prior that Penn State was out of its picture.

@VoiceOfTheHawks:

Go to womens game vs. Wolerines & watch BCS Selection Show at CHA immediately after per Iowa SID. Great opp to watch w/ fellow fans.

Obviously, nothing's set until the announcement this evening, but unless the Fiesta Bowl's pulling an inexplicable fast one on everybody involved, it might be time to book your tickets to Puh-ho-nix. And unless you're one of the 17,500 people who bought through the school, good luck getting good tickets.

Also, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[UPDATE: Okay, now there's a lot more chatter seeping in from People Who'd Know that it's shaping up to be Iowa in the Orange Bowl, not the Fiesta Bowl. So... yeah. Stay tuned. Seriously, though, if the Fiesta takes TCU or Boise over Iowa, they're insane.]

[DOUBLE UPDATE: It's official: Iowa to the Orange Bowl, per the Tampa I-Club. So yeah.]

If the Fiesta Bowl was in Orlando, and the Capital One Bowl in Phoenix, I’d be pissed. As it is, I kinda prefer this arrangement. Especially since I know we’ll beat up on LSU. Boise might be tough. Win one for the conference, will ya?

My buddy who works for a major bank in Arizona

just called me to say the same thing. Iowa in Fiesta. Lock it in. He did not know the opponent but he said the Sugar confirmed Florida and then Fiesta decided on Iowa. No one yet knows who Orange will take. I am betting they take Cinncy or TCU. So expect TCU or Cinncy to be in the Fiesta…I really think that is how it will go. But, you never know.

Hell yes

I mean, I would have been happy with BCS regardless, but I HATE how we match-up with Georgia Tech. Not that they’re necessarily a significantly better overall team, but a run heavy team that isn’t going to try to test our amazing secondary too often doesn’t play intot the D’s strength at all. Much happier playing Boise.

because beating them gets you the old, “of course” and losing to them gets you the old “you frauds” lable. would much prefer Cinncy or even TCU. Which means, we’ll probably get Boise.

the punter for Pitt punts low and no hang time. He had tons of room to make a move. Donahue would put our special teams in a better postition to contain him. In my humble opinion. I’d really like to meet up with some of you if it really is the Fiesta. Go Hawks!

Phillips coached in DEN before Shanahan?

I did not know that… huh. I honestly thought that whoever coached them before Shanny was either dead or long out of football, just because Shanahan had been their coach for so long.

I think that’s a clear sign that Phillips has been around way too damn long.

Wait, I thought it was Reeves in Denver before Shanahan

Which set up the awkward Super Bowl where Shanahan beat the guy he replaced.

I live 6 hours from Glendale. It must be the Fiesta so I can go and see Iowa spank TCU/BSU.
Wow and maybe go early and watch ISU play the golden rodents. Can wish both teams to lose

I’m looking at airfare from Denver to Phoenix after New Year’s.

Flights from Chicago to Phoenix went up about $100 in the past week for a 1/2 departure and a 1/5 return. $405 R/T at the moment.

Sucks for them

1. Because they got jumped by jNWU, how low do you have to be to have that happen?

2. Because I don’t see their fans going to that game, at all.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

by HoyaGoon on Dec 6, 2009 5:07 PM CST up reply actions  

Why?

I think this is because the SEC fans were pissed that Auburn got picked ahead of UGA and UT, so this is settling the score.

This sucks too. We had a chance to go 2-0 against the SEC.

Have something fruity in it, and nothing strong. It also must be served with an umbrella in it, and a fruit for garnish. Those are the type of drinks that Tebow enjoys.
