2002 was there for goal posts being torn down, squelching of speakers etc. When we got back to our car it was gone. Long story short, it was towed because the rear of the car was less than 6 feet from the persons driveway. Cost $250 to get it out of storage. Don’t suppose the Iowa plates 15 minutes from the stadium had anything to do with it? Funny now but not then. Go Hawks!

Good times! Kinnick North - felt like a home game, probably 25k Hawk fans. Security didn’t stand a chance.

1979 UI Homecoming float. A Goldie Gopher is tied to a stake with firewood around it. The banner read "Burn the gophers and kick their ashes."

Unfortunately Joe Salem's Minny team beat Hayden Fry's first Iowa team the next day. But it was a great Homecoming float.

2015. Beating Minnesota to go 10-0 for the first time in school history.

2019. Ending Minnesota’s undefeated season in Kinnick.

Really though, just pick any season since Fleck became the coach. Even the year DeJean beat them on a punt return that got overturned on a technicality.

The Hawks played in four homecoming games that season (three on the road and one at home) and spoiled all of them.

Early 80's Eddie Phillips broke a long touchdown run. #94 defensive end for Minnesota didn't keep contain on the play. We're in the 10th row behind Minnesota bench, guy starts a chant, what do we eat, gopher meat. Couple of #94 teammates had to keep him from climbing into the stands.

'91 game. It was miserable getting to the stadium - still the coldest I've been watching a game (probably more of a mistake on my part of not layering correctly). Hughes snow angel.

Was at the '98 shellacking (Hayden's last game). Swore I would never set foot in the Metrodome ever again.

'02 and '08 have already been mentioned, but not the hijinks taking place during the latter. The old site had a meme of the infamous restroom with a ceiling cat...

I was there for both. On field in 2002.
I was also at 2010 and 11 games when Iowa lost to horrible Minnesota 😭 teams in Minneapolis.
Gophers only home conference win both years.

I was at the last game Iowa played at the old War Memorial Stadium before moving to the dome. The Hayden Fry led Hawks lost 24-6. After checking sports reference to refresh my memory here were some in game oddities:

Phil Suess was 16/32 with 0 ints, however Iowa fumbled 7 times, losing 4!

Minnesota was 7/12 with 3 ints, also losing 2 of 4 fumbles.

Marion Barber II ( father of Marion Barber III )scored 3 TDs but Iowa held him to 49 yards on 16 carries.

Reggie Roby kicked a FG ( Lon Olenczak the other ) and punted 3 times for 44 yards average.

Minnesota punted 5 times for a 20.6 yard average.

was there in '94 (49-42--I remember how electric young T Dwight was). In '04 when Barber and Maroney went nuts, but we somehow won when Lloyd missed late FG. In '06 when D Tate kept making mistakes and Herb Grigsby :mad:kept dropping balls. I hated that guy. I left so angry cuz I knew we were the better team.
