Ryan Day Sends Letters to Every Patient at Iowa’s Stead Family Children’s Hospital Before Buckeyes Play Hawkeyes​

Just read an article about about the visiting locker rooms at Iowa being pink. Didn't Urban have the scout team QB wear pink, or something like that, and the media whined about it and he changed it? Or am I misremembering

Don't remember the scout team QB thing, but the visitor's locker room at Kinnick has been pink since the 80's. Hayden Fry started that.

I seem to have lost my watch charger in New Orleans... but I saw so many OSU fans on Bourbon St. despite all the Raiders fans and OSU beat Illinois and none of this means anything for today but Go Bucks!

Holy crap! A 10mm? 10mm sockets and wrenches have been destined since the dawn of creation to disappear as soon as you turn your back!

Gonna be a good litmus test to see where this teams at, regardless of what happens, I think we're gonna learn a lot today about these Bucks.

Heading to my co-worker's for a friendly "rivalry" BBQ for the game, so I won't be in chat for this one. Good luck to us!

I’m not worried that the Buckeyes will lose this game. I’m worried that it will be a lot closer than it should be.

Iowa's defense ranks #1 in scoring defense allowing just 8 points per game; however, they really haven't played anybody yet.....

Pretty much where I’m at. I have an odd calm where I’m prepared for a close game.

Be pleasantly surprised if the Bucks handle Iowa easily. But rooting for it. Go Bucks!

Not to be outdone; reportedly Lane Kiffin had the Ole Miss visitors room painted pink:

If we lose, blow up his toilet before you go.
