Iowa's Superbowl

**wartknight** · 11-04-2007, 02:00 PM

Sorry guys, going to have to skip the CU game this weekend for the Superbowl of Iowa.
#5 Central at my #13 Wartburg Knights.
9-0 vs 8-1. Both undefeated in Iowa Conference action and the winner goes to the playoffs, the way football should be done.
145 kids from Iowa on the Wartburg roster
102 kids from Iowa at Central.
This will be the 6th year in a row and the 9th out of the last 10 times these teams have played that the winner is the conf. champ.

Wartburg all the way baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Central will have a hard time throwing the ball with the Wartburg pass rush hopefully.

I kid.

Wartburgs football stadium is going to look awesome when the new $30 million rec center is finished.

Have to jump on the Central side of this. With playing baseball for Upper Iowa(while we were still in the same conference.) I cannot bring myself to cheer for Wartburg, no matter how hard I try or how much fun I used to have at Joe's.

I know a kid who plays football for Central, but I almost went to Wartburg and have a good contingent of friends there, so go Knights!

And I don't know if you can call this the Super Bowl of Iowa, but it is nice that there are tons of kids from Iowa playing in the game that means so much.

They'll be about 10,000 people there that think otherwise.

As much as I like Iowa State (and have gone to more games in Ames this year than Waverly), This game has had more national implications the last 10 years than the Iowa/Iowa State game.
No one would know it because each school has just over 1500 students and get next to no media attention.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say this is on the same level as D1, just pointing out that there is some pretty darn good college football played in other places in the state.

I'm excited to have more football in Central Iowa.
Simpson/Central/Drake and now Grand View means plenty of places to watch College football when the Clones are out of town.

Its understandable why people dont root for Wartburg.

Winning cross country, track, wrestling, baseball, softball, and football conf. championships routinely is probably annoying for most schools:)

Anyway, we dont have a message board, so I must resort to using CF on a quiet Sunday afternoon.
