Never Too Early

Only 6 more weeks until the 2005 Hawkeyes take the field at Kinnick. Last year's 10-2 team keeps asking themselves the same thing: How'd we win 10 with a backup's backup's backup at halfback? Here's the fall matchups.

2005 Football Schedule
9/3 Ball State
9/10 at Iowa State
9/17 Northern Iowa
9/24 at Ohio State
10/1 Illinois
10/8 at Purdue
10/15 Indiana
10/22 Michigan
11/5 at Northwestern
11/12 at Wisconsin
11/19 Minnesota

I see 8-3 at worst. If they get past Ohio State at 4-0, they could run the table. Camp Randall will be their biggest late season test.

January 4, 2006 could be a rematch of the Orange Bowl from a few years back. Iowa-USC, right place this time. With the ADT National Championship Trophy on the line.

How pathetic is that name? Does it come with a free home alarm?
