Too bad the game times weren’t the same

[tweeterhawk]

The vibe at Jack Trice would have been amazing today:

PA announcement:
First quarter score: Illinois State zero, Iowa 3.
(Loud murmurs around JTS, scattered cheers and applause)

PA:
Score at the half: Illinois State zero, Iowa 6.
(More loud murmurs around JTS, cheers, applause. “Ha! Their new guy on offense sucks just as bad as Brian.”)

PA:
Third quarter score: Illinois State zero, Iowa 19.
(Mostly quiet, low moans. “Those probably were points from turnovers. We’ll get ‘em next week!”)

PA:
Final: Illinois State zero, Iowa 40.
(“Shit.”)
