In the Hawkeye State, there are two basic necessities - corn and Iowa football tickets. Head coach Kirk Ferentz, now in his eighth year roaming the sidelines of Kinnick Stadium, deserves a lot of credit for putting Iowa football back on the map. But last year, the Hawkeyes lost six of their final seven games, and registered their first losing season since 2000. Even with quarterback Drew Tate gone, the Hawkeyes could be one of the better teams in the Big Ten, with eight returning starters and plenty of experienced replacements to reload the team. In the 2007 NCAA college football season, the Iowa Hawkeyes have been handed a big break - they don't have to play Michigan or Ohio State - with what is said to be the third-easiest schedule in the Big Ten.

Must-Have Iowa Hawkeyes Football Tickets:
Since the Hawkeyes won't have to match up against rivals Michigan and Ohio State, the next two biggest games for Iowa Hawkeyes football tickets are the back-to-back road games at Iowa State and Wisconsin. The yearly battle against the Iowa State Cyclones will be in Ames this year on September 15, and if the Hawkeyes can capture a win, they'll have a lot of motivation behind them to help during the following week in Madison. The Hawkeyes have won two straight against the Wisconsin Badgers, and Iowa fans should be eager to see if they can take a third.

Iowa Hawkeyes Star Power:
Senior linebacker Mike Klinkenborg was named to the Lott Trophy watch list after finishing the 2006 NCAA college football season ranked second in the Big Ten and eighth nationally. Although Klinkenborg missed out on Iowa's bowl game, he still finished with 129 tackles.

Iowa Hawkeyes Go Bowling:
The Iowa Hawkeyes have lost their last two bowl games - to Florida in the Outback Bowl in 2006, and to Texas at the Alamo Bowl the following year - but are determined to change that this season.
