This thread can be moved to the Week 11 Other Games thread when it comes up but took a peek at the forecast in I-O-W-A City for the 2:30 matchup between the Hawks and the Ducks.

This will be a far cry from Eugene weather on a typical mid-fall afternoon. Hopefully these ducks will be paddling more than usual for this one.

As for the bye week lookahead, we get the Ducks after a bye and then on a short week for them. Wouldn't be bad for the Gophers if the Hawks bruised Oregon both physically and mentally in a nasty weather match-up.

I usually don't say this but here goes...Go Hawks! Ski U Mah.

If someone just happened to fill Kinnick's field with concrete and they had to all play on it, that would be a shame ... just say'n.

Will the moon phase favor the Ducks at least?

Waning gibbous on Saturday (full Beaver moon was last night) and rising around 7:30 PM, so after the game.

Guessing since beavers are aquatic animals this probably favors ducks more than hawks...

P.S. There is a Kurt Vonnegut reference here that I did not touch.
 


















Weather Underground is sticking with when the cold rain comes to Kinnick...starting 1-2 PM at a decent clip (1/3 inch basically over the game)...at 40 degrees with a 15 mph wind from the west.

Bring your wellies and handwarmers Duckies and Herkies 'cuz going to be unpleasant.

It will be interesting to see if Kinnick is full under these conditions? Even if it is, it will not be quite as hostile as sunny at 45 degrees with folks weather-geared-up and dripping.

We had a similar night game against Michigan State a number of years ago with a lightning delay. Not quite as cold but certainly wet. Stayed to the end of that one too.

I hope I'm wrong but I think Iowa wins that game outright.

If I were in Vegas today I would definitely put about $200 on the Hawkeyes. Oregon beat Wisconsin by 14 at home. I don’t see how they have much of a chance of beating Iowa at Kinnick. Thats an easy $380. 💰 💰 💰

Iowa may win but that Oregon game was played in a monsoon while QB Donte Moore got injured and WI scored late. I’m not taking much from that score.
