I am a relative of a former Hawkeye's player who is still very close to the program. Fran (Coach of the Hawkeyes) is a fiery competitor that will have Iowa amped on the road in a fairly meaningless game for OSU. Fran is pounding in the players brains that if they want to go to the tourney that they need at least one signature road win and this is one of the Hawks last chances.
This game will stay close--tempted to take the ML but I am taking the +11.5. Pound this-- it will be +10.5 at tip.

Antler--realize I am new here but I assure you the first post is not bs. That is 100% the message the Coach preached to the players in preparation for this game.

I like iowa in this one to cover..,think both teams are identical and almost think iowa is a little better..,osu tough at home so hoping iowa can keep it under ten

I shouldn't say meaningless--but they are tourney bound regardless--they do not need style points--just a W. Iowa desperately needs this for a NCAA bid and the players have totally bought into Fran's system and believe after the W vs. Wisconsin.

So your info is that the coach is telling his respective players to go out there and WIN?

This is Iowa's first chance for a Top 25 ranking in 6 years---this is a lot more then go out and "win." I am just passing along a VERY fiery message. The cynical nature of your post is ridiculous.

iowa comming of huge home emotional win,...hmmm...osu good at home...and comming off tough loss...they will be ready.but...11 is alot for any team in the big ten to cover..its osu or nothing for me.... coach can tell em til they areblue in the face they need a road win....but doing it is another story. my take is iowa fh..they will keep it xclose..then osu pulls away .iowa might fall flat on face right at the start ..just my opinion...better games out there...gl ryno

I have been praising the Hawks since before the season had started, I knew they would be good. This is coming from someone who yes is a homer but has been really down on the Hawks and have been beting against them for a long time (minus this season). THIS IS A TOSS UP GAME. I would actually lean OSU covering here. OSU is only 5-5 ATS against the Hawks in last 10 games but when they have won and covered its been a Blowout. Also Iowa has trouble playing at OSU. ALOT of trouble. GL and GO HAWKS!
