Glad to see Iowa football is back.
With #2 OSU and #4 Oklahoma State both losing, Iowa ought to go up in the rankings to at least #3

I grew up in Iowa but now live in Nebraska and root for the Huskers. I’m happy for the hawks but still want my Huskers to stomp them next week.
I’m with you there, I hope the Huskers can beat two very good teams this season—after having some terrible games against lesser competition.
I just want the Huskers to be the Huskers again.
I earned my masters degree from U of Iowa long ago. Do you recall Forest Evashevesky? (sic?) He was the coach of Iowa Hawkeyes when I was in school. I remember Hawkeyes went to the Rose Bowl during my time. But do not recall if they won the bowl.
Evashevski’s teams won two Rose Bowls and three Big Ten titles.
Oh wow...those were the good old days. I loved my time at U of Iowa. It was not so liberal in those days. The only problem was it was a dry town, and we had to hitch rides to Cedar Rapids to get a beer lol.
Oklahoma just survives after leading TCU Big.
Michigan State beats Ohio State.
