Sounds like we could be handily outnumbered again. Hopefully the ticket office does a better job only giving our allotment to Stanford fans this time...

Iowa last appeared in the Rose Bowl since in 1991.  That's a 25 year gap.  To put that in perspective Stanford's 1972 to 2000 gap was "only" 28 years.
Ticket prices might fall, but if you are trying to plan a trip out of Iowa with flights, hotels, meals, and a car then a few hundred dollars extra per game ticket is probably not that big of a deal.  If I am going to spend $2000 or $3000 per person getting my family to Pasadena I don't think I bank on the ticket prices falling later in the process by $100 or whatever.  Secure the whole thing now.  Peace of mind and all.
