The Iowa-Indiana game just ended. What a game. I may be (probably) going to Iowa State next fall, but I am a Hawkeye fan, this is Hawkeye country after all... Before this game, Iowa was ranked number 4 in the BCS poll (Bowl Championship Standings) and on a 12 game winning streak, 8 games being from this season. They are now 9-0 on a 13 game winning streak.
This was a pretty tense game. It almost looked as though Indiana was going to beat the Hawks, ruining their great season. However, in true Hawkeye fashion, they can from behind for a big 42-24 win. Things looked pretty bad in the third quarter. Quarterback Ricky Stanzi threw 4 interceptions (5 total in the game), which, if you know anything about football, you know is not a good thing for the home team. Stanzi did managed to redeem himself though. he threw 2 touchdown passes in a row in the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter was a great quarter for the Hawks. They scored 27 of their 42 points in this quarter.
It wasn't looking very good for the Hawkeyes at the end of the third. 4 interceptions will do that to a team's moral. It seems that the Hawkeyes work best under pressure though. Look at the game lat week against Michigan State. The Hawkeyes were down after a late touchdown by Michigan and ended up scoring with 2 seconds left on the clock to win it. This is what Iowa does. They play a good first 3 quarters and seem to come alive in the fourth. This is a good team that is playing well this season. Is that a bowl game I see in their future?...Keep up the good work, and congrats guys!!

Very nice and interesting post you have here. Just wanted to stop by and say that. Also I was wondering if you could give me a little feedback on my design/template. If there's anything I need to change, keep, or try to alter somehow. I would greatly appreciate the feedback, thanks.
