The #21 Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0) face off against the Iowa State Cyclones (1-0) Saturday afternoon on CBS, an exciting return to the network after a nearly 40-year hiatus. (the linked story by Chad Leistikow is absolutely wild as it alludes to a past Brad Nessler Iowa CIty escapade with Ed Podolak “if you know what that means.”) Given the nature of two power conference foes, the stakes of the game are pretty high with the expanded playoff.
Yeah, it’s early to talk about the playoff. There’s HATE to be had for the next 36 hours.
