Yesterday my beloved Iowa Hawkeyes pulled out a win in their season opener against Maine. Yes, I realize they played MAINE, but it’s a win nonetheless. If you had seen the way my Hawks have broken my heart and spirit over the years, you’d throw a parade over a trivial win as well!
My senior year in college (2003), the Hawks went to the Orange Bowl…and so did I! It was amazing. I would love love LOVE for them to go to a sweet bowl game this year- for some reason, whenever we are predicted to do well, we flop. And whenever we fly under the radar (and un-ranked), we seem to come out of nowhere to clench victory.
Here’s hoping for a successful season for the Hawkeyes, and all of the Big Ten teams (except Ohio State).
CHEERS!!!
