Hey all. I am a regular reader of the OBD forum and occasional poster based in Seattle. I am a proud 1992 grad of UO. But I was also born in Iowa City to parents who are both grads of the University of Iowa. The Hawkeyes are my second favorite college football team. Guess where I will be Nov 8? I will be wearing green, yellow, and white and rooting for the Ducks but if there are other Duck faithful out there in Iowa on Nov 8, I’d love to meet up pre-game.

That home field looks awesome, with an incredible crowd. It is on my "bucket-list," but I am going to Penn State this year, and Iowa another time.

I am sure it will be a great game with good people there...

A lot better than playing Cal or Stanford. Probably a national audience. Against a ranked team. Sellout. I'am jealous.

If you are in Iowa City on November 8th, bring warm clothing.

If there, you will see in person the winningest coach in B1G history. Kirk Ferentz is two wins away from passing Woody Hayes. This is Kirk's 27th season at Iowa. Looking at the average per-season win totals, Dan, now in his 4th season, should pass Ferentz before the 2048 season. 😁

  1. Woody Hayes, Ohio State, 1951-78 (205 wins)

  2. Kirk Ferentz, Iowa, 1999-present (204)

  3. Amos Alonzo Stagg, Chicago, 1896-1932 (199)

  4. Bo Schembechler, Michigan, 1969-89 (194)

  5. Joe Paterno, Penn State, 1993-2011 (162)

  6. Hayden Fry, Iowa, 1979-98 (143)

That's total wins as a Big Ten coach, not total Big Ten conference wins. Nor is it career wins at all coaching stops. Average wins per season would be a different list.
