Iowa truly blessed to have skilled sports journalists on the beat, not least of which is Mike Hlas. Liked his "poetic" take on yesterday's showdown:
"Frettin' and sweatin'. And finally, a cloud storm. The fans covered the field like Iowa's defense covered the Nattanies.
"Oh, that noise. The sound emanating from Kinnick Stadium probably bounced off every oak from Lone Tree, scared the cattle outside Holstein, loosened the lug nuts in Mechanicsville."
