This particular bowl is usually a New Year's Day tradition, except when that holiday falls on a Sunday, like this year. In that case, they play the bowl on the following Monday. This year's kickoff will take place on Monday, January 2, 2017 at noon at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. If you didn't make the trip to see the bowl in person, then you can join us right here at Des Moine's best place to watch Iowa football.
From 1986-1995, this college football match-up between the Big Ten and the SEC was called the Hall of Fame Bowl. In April of 1995, Outback Steakhouse took over sponsorship, and the name was fittingly changed to the Outback Bowl.
This will be the Iowa Hawkeyes fifth appearance in this bowl game, and the third time that they have faced the Florida Gators. In 2004, they beat the Gators 37-17, but in 2006 the Gators overtook the Hawkeyes 31-24. Looks like it's our turn to take another win!
The other two times that the Hawkeyes played resulted in a win over South Carolina in 2009 with a score of 31-10, but in 2014 they were defeated by LSU 21-14.
Wobbly Boots BBQ will open our doors at 11:00 am on game day. That means you can get in here early, watch the pre-game with us, and order up a great big lunch to keep you filled up during the game. Also, college football means football specials here at the Boot. We'll have our $5 appetizers and $3 tall boys for everyone while the Hawkeyes are playing. That is, of course, in addition to all of our other mouth-watering menu items that you've come to love.
Start 2017 out on a good note, right here with us. Incredible food, refreshing drinks, and 17 different television screens placed throughout the restaurant to watch all the Hawkeyes action. You've still got the NFL to enjoy at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse this year, but this is your last chance to cheer on Iowa football until the fall. Don't miss your chance to join the best Hawkeyes fans right here at the best restaurant in Des Moines. After the game, we can all focus on the rest of the awesome things coming in the new year.
Don't forget you can take home 16 oz. bottles of Wobbly Boots House Recipe BBQ Sauce!!
