Thanks to the players!

So many players stuck around after the scrimmage to talk with kids around Kinnick or walking out. My 4 year old daughter was so pumped giving Hawkeyes high fives, getting autographs and taking pictures. She got to meet Petras, Moss, Padilla, Jones, Roberts, Stevens, and I think her favorite, Jacob Bostick.

All of those guys didn't make it seem like a job to be there and seemed pretty genuine. It was awesome!

Very cool. Just told this story on the podcast with Tom, but on my way out Tory Taylor was one of the last guys still around, signing every autograph, posing for every picture, asking each family where they're from, where that is, etc.

Cool.He's a character. Did he ask if they wanted to go "walkabout", down under?

Did Petras or Padilla give the more accurate high-five?

My daughter did the swinging. They were essentially handing off.

In all seriousness, both guys were great.

This is what you get with Kirk….It’s more than Football and that is what a Program should be. Yes we all want to win CHAMPIONSHIPS - but having champion person leave the program is probably more important.
