I don’t know why you’d be asking about Auburn fans but I don’t know much about them.
UA fans are pretty cool. It’ll take you about 2 hours to drive between Tucson and Phoenix.

Go Hawks beer down! The only question I have is do I fly out after my son’s soccer game. It starts at 3:00 pm and I can get to the airport for the five o’clock flight. How long does it take to drive from Phoenix to Tucson? I don’t know about AU fans, but Hawk fans are a mosh pit of fun and beer! Hawks 72 – AU - negative 16! Don’t ask me how!
Have fun and good luck!

You really know how to get to an Arizona fans heart. ;-)
I went to your stadium last year, and I’ve got to say you’ve got some of the nicest fans ever. Some of the college kids can be a little dumb (flipping off opposing fans, etc.) but overall I felt very welcome. Iowa fans sought us out to talk about the game before and after. It was a lot of fun. I hope ya’ll have half the positive experience here that I had there.

I’m looking forward to a head-knocker as well.
I’m also looking forward to UA fans carrying themselves with a lot more composure than the ASU fans I experienced the last time Iowa came to AZ.
We were blown out but instead of acting like they had been there before ASU fan was lewd, rude and crude. I would like to play them in Iowa City sometime soon, preferably in December.

(Sports) provides a wonderful opportunity for initiating acquaintance. Regardless of the degree of our civilization, people still thrill to physical combat and admire the man who excels. He who is of proven merit in the field of major sports has shown to all that he is possessed of strength, vigor, stamina, and courage. The great majority of people want to know such a man…How well I have taken advantage of the football reputation it was my good fortune to gain is for others to judge, but I personally am very thankful for the whole experience and the fun and friends it has brought me.

I agree with you almost completely. I’ve seen fans on both sides on other sites talking about 42-10 blowouts, etc. Arizona and Iowa are both very good teams. Arizona does not get blown out at home, Iowa doesn’t get blown out period. This is gonna be a very tough game.
If I were an Iowa fan, I would be equally as worried about your O-line going up against Arizona’s very stout D-line. Reed and Elmore are nasty at DE and the DTs have been very solid so far.

As a Hawk fan I’m nervous about the game in AZ this Saturday. As was mentioned UA has nothing to lose and everything to gain, that makes them dangerous. Coach Stoops (you’re welcome UA, as if Lute wasn’t enough:) will have his guys ready.
Iowa faces a determined team on the road, 2000 miles of travel and a night game that starts at around 10:00 pm their time.

As always it will come down to who wins the battle at the line of scrimmage. If UA can figure out how to withstand the Hawk’s fierce pass rush and how to open some holes for their running backs this will be a good game.

I’ll be watching anxiously in section C, looking forward to Tucson hospitality.
Here’s to a hard fought game with both teams giving their all while carrying themselves with class and honor.

ISU might be in the Big 12… but they are not nearly as talented as Arizona. Honestly, I don’t thinking beating ISU at home is any better than beating Toledo on the road.
