It’s always been a Hawkeye state. It will be a Hawkeye state going forward. That said, Matt Campbell has brought respectability to Ames. The Hawks and the Cyclones went head-to-head in a physical football game with the Hawkeyes winning 20-13 (the author predicted this score earlier this week). That prediction and three bucks will get me a cup of coffee most anywhere, so I’m feeling pretty good about that.
