Yeah. I always stay in CR due to costs in IC, plus the fact that finding a vacancy there is a challenge. That said, I priced a Fairfield in CR. Two nights, 2 queens, totaled $854. Not surprised. MN fans show up big time and book into CR in mass.Didn't something like this happen a few years back? I wanted to say it was Miguel Recinos who wavered and Duncan came in? Or the other way around? Looking up stats:
Recinos: 2015-2018
Duncan: 2016-2020
Duncan redshirted in 2017 and didn't see action in 2018 so it doesn't make sense.
I remember some contention right around the end of the season. Going in to the Nebraska game where Recinos kicked the game winner. But that was 2018. I don't see any stats for Duncan that year. Shudak was around too, but mostly kicking off until 2021. I also thought of Marshall Meeder.
I must be absolutely punch drunk after just booking a hotel in downtown Iowa City for next month on a non-football weekend even. I could have stayed in Coralville for two weeks for the same cost. I used points, but I still feel like I won't be able to sit down for 3 days.
I just remember a trusted Iowa kicker getting a little squirmy and having to go with someone "new" or switching off depending on distance. I dunno. Maybe it was from 20 years ago. I didn't think it was that long ago. I really want to feel like it was Recinos/Duncan. But there's no stats to back that up at all. So that ain't right.
Season tickets for decades, I reserve months ahead. Currently HI Express @ a couple of hundred $ per night. Similar at nearby Hampton. Nice sports bars, etc. and I-380 is right there. 20-25 minutes to Kinnick.
I do stay at the Drury in Coralville for Iowa men’s BB. Very reasonable and great location.
