S iowa its now a Museum Actually free to iowans to get in but our attention right now is on two teams with great similarities. Both kirk ferentz and david shaw were willing to acknowledge that. Probably what youe looking at are two teams that have competed extremely hard week in week out the entire season theyre a very well coached football team, theyre very physical, theyve got good players, really good players. What strikes me is the effort they play with the team work, the coesiveness. All year you just watched iowa find a way to win and no one said anything, you watch em again next week they found a way to win and no one said anything they have a great defensive performance and a great offensive performance and a great Team Performance and they beat some gerat teams and throughout the year both our teams gained a lot of momentum what do you expect this atmosphere to be like when you hear over 50000 iowa fans applied for tickets for this i think its gonna be great, i think theres gonna be a few stanford fans there as well. Its one of the really cool things about the rose bowl, coming down here every other year and playing ucla because its such a great environment but the rose bowl is a completely different environment theres an energy in the air completely different environment theres an energy in the air the rose bowl is a very special thing to our fans as well as our program i do remember distinctly a radio caster in des moines his crack one last person out of the studio shut the lights off as they headed to california. We anticipate a really enthusiastic following. Our fans are tremendous and well witnes that on friday as well jon clearly a strong respect for each program and the rose bowl environment is sure to be electric. You can bet there will be maybe a few more afternoon here in pasadena.
