Kirk Ferentz remembers the Alamo and the domed stadium that stands nearby, and they are pleasant memories. It was in that stadium in 2001 that he won his first bowl game as Iowa's head football coach... The upset victory over Texas Tech also gave Ferentz his first winning season at Iowa, and launched his Hawkeyes on a four-year run of January Bowl games in Florida that will end this season when he and his team return to the Alamo Bowl.

Sorry if I'm out of the loop, but any word on who Iowa's going to play in the Alamo Bowl yet?

Okay, so the Alamo Bowl will be played in San Antonio on December 30 at $;30 pm. The game will be televised on ESPN, and their opponent will be announced later tonight, but it will be a Big 12 school. Any thoughts on which one it might be?

Drew Tate, Iowa's senior quarterback and one of a handful of native Texans anxious for the opportunity to play the game of football again in the Lone Star State, says he likens the Longhorn defensive unit to the one the Hawkeyes faced in Ann Arbor, Mich., in late October.

"They have great size and strength in the box and great speed on the outside," Iowa's veteran field general said of the defending national champions. "It's going to be tough, but we'll just have to excecute and do what we do best."

Drew Tate's 274 passing yards along with Andy Brodell's Alamo Bowl record and career-high 159 receiving yards weren't enough as Texas squeaked by Iowa, 26-24 in the 2006 Alamo Bowl.
