And you absolutely should. Worth noting, my lack of posting the last few months has nothing to do with my fandom. They switched firewalls at work and 90% of the time I simply can't get on during free time at work and don't have the time off the clock, but damn it I missed this place. Hope I'm able to stay around all season.

(Finally) being retired has its benefits. Watching Iowa FB /posting unencumbered being two of them!

Let’s go Hawkeyes. We got to Iowa City about two hours ago already on my fourth 7 & 7. Can’t wait for tomorrow.

Was gonna make the trek, saw the weather and noped out faster than Usain Bolt wearing white pants on his way to the shitter after a 12 pack of Old Style and 3 crunch wrap supremes.
I’m 46, been to a bazillion Iowa games, and am now too old to put myself through September scorcher JV games on purpose. I did my time for years and now I choose to do A/C instead. Call me soft…could not care less. Football was not meant to be played nor watched in 105° heat indexes and 76° dew points.

Agree.
I call the first couple of non-ISU home games "amateur hour."
Parents bringing kids ages 2-5...crying, pooping their pants, up and down, up and down, kicking me in the back, spilling food all over, paying 0% attention to the game.
Gawd, can't they find a baby sitter for one freakn day?
I'll pass as well.
P.S. I have VIP tix for Ohio State....don't ask me how much

I have no confirmation but I heard Hank Brown will start the game. That’s the word going around the tailgate.

Smart move might be to go with the road white jerseys, or even yellow, on a day like this.
Black has to add to the misery.
"Under NCAA rules, the standard setup is: visiting team wears white, home team wears a contrasting/dark color. But the home team can wear white instead if both teams have agreed to it in writing before the season. Without that agreement, a home team switching to white is a rules violation (unsportsmanlike conduct penalty).
That's why "whiteout" games at home stadiums (Arizona, Penn State-style events, etc.) require the athletic department to formally arrange it with the visiting team and conference in advance — it doesn't happen spontaneously. A few programs like LSU and Georgia Tech have standing waivers to wear white at home routinely rather than a one-off agreement."
