That is when the North end zone was crap seating. I also made ALL the home games during those two coaches. Left a lot of games thinking - "Next time".

While we old farts are reminiscing, I remember those days too. Fortunately, the Hawkeye Marching Band was fantastic back in the day and was often the main attraction on game days. A small group of band members used to migrate around the field playing this “strip tease” tune while a bunch of guys from the band did a “kick line” like the Rockettes. It was always a hit with the fans.
And the Hawkeye Marching Band Extravaganza in Hancher was always a great show. I’ll never forget as a little kid being in awe as they came down the aisles playing the Iowa Fight Song to start the show. And my favorite song that they would sing that I didn’t fully understand until about a decade later….
“My mother is a fireman’s wife. She puts out fires.
My brother is a fireman’s son. He puts out fires.
My sister is a fireman’s daughter. She puts out….Hummmmmmmm.”😆
Sadly, the action on the field was an afterthought in those days.

I can recall him complaining that Hayden Fry was given support that he never got, and that Hayden went to the Rose Bowl with his players
With all due respect to Coach Commings, the fact that Hayden got to a Rose Bowl with Commings’ players probably indicates that he and his staff were able to coach them up much more effectively.
I think so. Hayden's first QB Phil Suess was converted from safety, where Commings had been playing him.
What a sad thread. The only thing sadder than looking back at the Nebraska glory days from ‘62-2001 is going back to 70s Iowa football.
Nebraska is branded as "look back to our glory days!"
It makes those scary voices in your heads quiet down.
Oh.....I hope you're preparing your butt cheeks for Michigan. Wear something frilly and don't forget to make them a sandwich later...
Good Lord. Nostalgic about the 1970's Hawks and their running game? 
Yeah, the 0-11 1973 Hawks were 3rd in the Nation in passing defense. Hooray. They also gave up about 500 yards on the ground, so why pass against them?
Just bad teams until HF came along.
