Both! In my lifetime, Iowa has gone to 2 Rose Bowls and reached 1 Final Four...
The fun part of basketball, St Louis is hosting the first round this year, I chose not to get tickets thinking no way would Iowa ever come here first round...now I have to wonder on that. The wrestling championships are here this year as well I think so might have to check that out too.
I honestly have to say Rose Bowl for myself, not that I don't appreciate the Final Four, but since I was a kid the Rose Bowl was just always portrayed as so huge, but back then there weren't as many bowls as today.
Personally, I'd take the Final Four simply due to the 4 or 5 additional games to watch. I was alive during our last Final Four but I was so young I barely remember it any more. I have very fond memories of the Tom Davis Elite Eight run and can even remember certain plays in those tourney games. Those stick in my mind more than many of the big football memories for some reason.
I probably love both sports equally but something about March Madness is still so much better than the now saturated bowl season.
Now, if you're asking me would I prefer a national championship in football or basketball I'd really have to think about that.
For me, it's even. Would want Iowa to win the Rose Bowl and the Final Four. Throw Iowa Wrestling in the mix and we would have a perfect hat trick to the season.
