Final 'Iowa Day' on the BTN is Thursday Hawkeye Sports

Here's from article:

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Fans can get their final Hawkeye fix of the summer on Thursday by tuning into the Big Ten Network for the final "Iowa Day". Round-the-clock coverage begins at 7 a.m. (CT).

The network is scheduled to rebroadcast five Iowa football and two men's basketball games to go along with Big Ten Icon coverage.

The day begins with a pair of Hawkeye football contests. At 7 a.m. (CT), Iowa's 30-27 victory over Michigan from the 2003 season will be broadcast followed by last season's 31-27 win over Pittsburgh, which featured the biggest comeback in school history.

At 11 a.m., the BTN will air the Big Ten Icon series featuring Dan Gable before broadcasting the UI football team's 31-28 victory over Purdue. The back-and-forth game featured Dallas Clark's 95-yard touchdown reception.

The network will go into the vault at 1:30 p.m. when it airs the UI men's basketball team's 1983 victory over Indiana. The Hawkeyes edged the Hoosiers, 58-57.

At 3:30 p.m., the Nile Kinnick Big Ten Icon series will be shown, followed by two of the Big Ten's Greatest Games -- the 42-35 victory over Penn State on Sept. 28, 2002, and the 24-23 win at 10th-ranked Michigan during the 1990 season.
 
Yawn, why not put iowas orange bowl win on or anything other than the same old games that keep replaying. Seriously play something new. Ya the win against Pitt was cool, but it's getting old. Capital one bowl though will never get old haha.
 
The 2003 Michigan game and 2002 Penn State games at least aren't shown repeatedly so there's a couple there to intrigue me.

Next wave of Big Ten's Greatest Games should be announced in late August, hoping for a couple of good Iowa ones to boost this rotation.
 
would like to see more from the Fry era. Matt Rodgers and those early 90s teams were fun to watch and went to the Rose Bowl and had a one loss season, I believe, or maybe one loss and one tie...they still had ties in those days.
 
Well at least they aren't showing the Christensen led OT win against MSU for the hundredth time.

Huh? The 2003 Michigan has figured in every "Iowa" day this summer. Ditto the 2002 Purdue game.

And why, oh why, do they continue to break out the 2007 MSU game?!
 
Knowing the BTN, I'm just surprised that even on "Iowa Day" they are going to show contests that the Hawks actually won.

The Michigan game was not shown on the Iowa day on 6/28, but my point is at least that game and the 2002 Penn State games are not shown ad nauseam like the Pitt game and others.

Agreed on the 2007 Mich St. game, that was an atrocious football game but happened to have a good finish.

I guess I have to go back to a post I made a few weeks ago (around the second BTN "Iowa Day").

I think a lot of the games we all "want" were local/regional. While broadcast live, production values may be lacking. Plus, ownership/rights issues probably figure in somehow.

Then again, BTN has breaking out "Big Ten Film Vault" stuff from the 1950s/60s/early-70s. That's some awesome music, BTW!
