Frickin sweat man. Bring a bear cub to games and on the road. Might have to go down and grab a bite at St. Burch Tavern in his honor!

Wow, that is a sad story. Not something the UI should be proud of. IMO

I will recommend it again. Read 75 Years with the Fighinting Hawkeyes by McGrane. A great history of early Iowa Football up to the 60's.
