The Hlog

Farewell, Evanston ...

and Hello, either Orlando or Phoenix. Unless, that is, Iowa loses to either Minnesota or Western Michigan in its final two football games.

Survey says ... Phoenix! Tempe, to be precise.

Orlando, home of the Champs Sports Bowl, has one serious drawback. Namely, it's Orlando. A great city if you're 8 years old or a cartoon mouse. Not so good if you think theme parks' main theme is to provide a blight on our landscape.

Tempe is a terrific college town in a major metropolitan area. It's pretty. Mill Street is a nice place in the center of town for adults to gather, something Orlando lacks. With Arizona State on break for the holidays, Iowans could have Tempe all to itself for the Insight Bowl.

Plus, the Hawkeyes would play a Big 12 team in that game. It's too bad Nebraska doesn't have another win or two. Heh heh heh.   |    Login or Join to Post Comments
