Dec 6, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The two teams that have qualified for the Insight bowl 2010 have been decided. Iowa and Missouri will be the two states who would be competing against each other on December 28 at the Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. This would be the first time that the two teams will confront each other in the 22nd Insight Bowl.
Right now, The Missouri Tigers are at 10-2 and Iowa Hawkeyes at 7-5. The match may be regarded as a historic one, as the two teams would be clashing after 100 years. The last time, the two confronted was in 1910, when Missouri defeated Iowa with a score of 5-0. This time also, the team seems to be at the best of its spirit and has every possibility of emerging victorious. It has averaged 10 victories a season, in the last four years. This is the sixth time, that they have headed for a Bowl game consecutively, which is a school record. Missouri finished the season by defeating its neighbor. However, once again it would face its other neighbor at the Insight Bowl. On the other hand Iowa finished the season with a score of 7-5 overall and 4-4 in league. It therefore secured the fourth place in the Big Ten, through a three-way tie. Iowa has been illegible for the Bowl for the last ten years under its coach Coach Kirk Ferentz, to make the Insight Bowl their 25th Bowl Game.
However, both the teams and their fans seem to be super excited with the upcoming match. Missouri has already sold 3,500 out of its 11,000 tickets that are supposed to be sold, which clearly states that the Insight Bowl is going to be a much awaited event, offering a lot of excitement.
