There were plenty of tickets available for every game if they wanted to go. You make it sound like everything was sold out and these people were just dying to get inside the stadium. Anyone that wanted to could have gone to any game.
What I'm laughing at are the people that said for years that anyone that gave up their tickets would automatically have those seats filled by these mythical Iowa fans that had just been waiting patiently for years to buy tickets but never could, or that it would only take a few wins to start the year and everyone would come running back to Kinnick.
Now THAT was funny.
