U of I hospital provided unbelievable care for my son when he was going through some things that are still on going. Why people can’t separate the hospital from the buttfuckery of their fans I’ll never get.

Our nurses encouraged wearing Cyclone gear. I was like, nah, I don't wanna do that here. They kept pushing us to. It was really neat.

I had a newborn pass away at the U of I. The University cares. They invited us to a remembrance ceremony the following year where grieving parents get together.
The students and student athletes definitely care. The dance marathon kids checked in on us a lot. Brought us meals.
The town cares. There's an Angel of Hope statue at a park where I have visited, laid flowers for, and melted down.
A lot of people care.

I think maybe you're just being/reading too much into this.

Agree. Don’t lump the hospital/clinics in with the Iowa fans. They are polar opposites.

My son and I did both times he had to have some procedures done. It was a couple years ago. We made it a game and pretended we were going to war in enemy territory. Helped distract us both. The nurses were unbelievably cool about it.

A 12-yard gain for us is literally like a 40-yard gain for other programs.

I’ve had to stay at the U of I Hospitals quite a bit. I owe them everything…. saved my life. Great place doing great things.

I also got to know quite a few nurses during all my stays there. They feel the same way I do about game days there. Hate them. Have to park a mile away or more and walk through a bunch of drunk men whistling at them and yelling awful things at them in the hospital ramps.

Patient families and friends have said the same thing. Football >>>>>>> Hospital.

Are these announcers paid extra to continually tell us how awesome the Hawkeyes are?

 

[WIBadger]

Well Oregon has kicked it in

They don’t want people changing the channel.

Ooh thats a catch

Ooh thats a catch

Both feet in actuality

LSU receiver just played one half.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

We need more sideline interviews with Kayla

 

[JEFF420]

Yes, because I'm sure the ISU players are all Rhodes Scholars.

its rhoads. and he had some bright young men on the team

 

[AlaCyclone]

Wisconsin sucked ass this year, no idea how they’ve put up 28 pts.

LSU's defense sucked ass this year too giving up an average of 27.75 points per game!

LSU's defense isn't good and WI may have gotten some things figured out with the new staff.

Allen opting out also probably leaves a lot of loose ends for scouting.

Rhodes scholarships have nothing to do with CPR.

Unless sarcasm?

 

[Remo Gaggi]

Hoks had around 75 yards of offense in the first half. Pathetic.

They've done a good bit of mocking the Iowa offense.

 

[WartburgClone]

Imagine being a starter on an SEC defense and getting spin moved by Deacon Hill.

They’re closer than I figured they’d be though. Hoping UT presses on the gas pedal a little more in the 2nd half.

They’re playing it pretty safe since the backups are playing.
