It certainly was easier 2 run up scores and won loss records back in the day in a 2 team conference and only a handful of competitve programs were out there.I went to my first game in 1969 so I've followed 5 National Title teams. If you could live to be a thousand years old you still wouldn't witness 5 Iowa National Titles in football...hell you'd be lucky to witness one.
Kudos gramps on being alive back in the day of bag phones, beepers, parachute pants, Beanie Babies and those high fangled Starter Jackets.
Bet you listened to the corn huckers on your Sony Walkman.
Those were the days.
Congrats. You are Minnesota.
