fans http://www.axtora.com/homesites/us/iowa/raymond/content/e640307848a5b72946c5ccc2112b3a24.html This is your time of the year Iowa fansThis is where you really matter Your wallets and your fervor mostly your wallets come through for the Hawkeyes Shonn Greene Mitch King they've done what they can do It's all up to you nowThis is bowl season Folks from Florida and San Antonio will sniff around the Hawkeyes But you Iowa fans might have already made the decision for themI think they all love us Iowa Athletics Director Gary Barta said When I say 'us' it's obviously the program but it's our fansThe Capital One Outback Alamo Champs Sports and Insight bowls saw the Hawkeyes last nightIt was the fourth straight week the Outback Bowl has scouted the Hawkeyes Iowa played in that bowl in 2004 and 2006Iowa has played in four Alamo Bowls with the last stop being a 2624 loss to Texas The Hawkeyes' one stop to the Capital One Bowl was a memorable 3025 lastsecond victory in 2005Our fans have proven in every one of those bowls that given the chance they will show up in big numbers Barta saidIowa has never played in the Champs Sports Bowl at Orlando FlaInformation and applications for tickets will be available early next week Orders for tickets will be accepted after Iowa has accepted a bowl invitation The destination might not be known until Dec 7 The big hangup this year is if Ohio State 102 can land a spot in the Bowl Championship SeriesPenn State 111 clinched the Big Ten title and the conference's BCS berth in the Rose Bowl with a victory Saturday over Michigan State That's the lone Big Ten bowl certainty coming out of the last weekend of the regular seasonOregon State is one of the factors in the Big Ten's bowl fate If the Beavers win their final two games they would claim the Pac10 title and that conference's automatic bid That would leave USC a oneloss team that beat Ohio State eligible for a likely atlarge berth thus knocking the Buckeyes to the Capital One Bowl and everyone else in the Big Ten down a notch in the bowl orderIf that happens Iowa likely would find itself in a bowl pool with Michigan State and Northwestern And that's where you the fans make a differenceThe fact that our fans travel so well I know has always been a helpful thing for us Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz said Bowl selections aren't always fair but I don't think bowls are necessarily in the business of being fair they're in the business to be in business It's a good thing for usThe Penn State victory coupled with an Oregon State loss could put an 84 Hawkeyes team in the Outback Bowl for the third time in five years The Outback is held New Year's Day at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Fla The opponent would be an SEC team with a 10 am kickThe Alamo scenario would rest on Northwestern and its Chicago largemarket attractiveness But the Alamo might have tipped its hand two weeks ago when it sent Executive Director Derrick Fox to Iowa City for the Purdue gameThe Alamo is a 7 pm kickoff Dec 29 against a Big 12 opponentNext in the Big Ten bowl pecking order is the Champs Sports Bowl on Dec 27 It has a 3:30 kickoff with an opponent from the ACC Man sent to
