Only two regular season games left! So come on down to Buckley’s on Queen Anne this Saturday morning and join the WWIC in watching the Hawks travel to Ann Arbor to take on Michigan.

Not a whole lot of good news coming out of Iowa City, so here’s a collection of random notes/links on the game:

•Saturday will be Iowa's first game of 2012 against a ranked opponent.
•Iowa has won the last three meetings vs Michigan and five of the last eight.
•Iowa leads the country with six games decided by three points or less.
•Michigan is 5-0 in home games, while Iowa is 2-2 in games away from home this season. The Wolverines have not lost a home contest (13-0) the last two seasons under Brady Hoke.
•Iowa needs victories in its final two contests to become bowl eligible for the 12th consecutive season.
•Iowa's 38-28 win over No. 24 Michigan on Oct. 16, 2010 was its last road victory over a ranked opponent.
