It's okay if you didn't go to Kinnick, given the weather, but we did. Here's what we saw.
1. Good heavens that was cold. Iowa's open practice at Valley Stadium was sunny, 60s and just about perfect. The week ahead looks like exactly that. And just Iowa's luck, today was wet, windy and cold.

So yeah, rotten luck here, and absolutely a factor in the spotty attendance at Saturday's event. Yes, Alabama could bring 85,000 fans to the Nunavut Coliseum (if that's a thing) (it isn't) by holding a spring game there, but no, Iowa's not Bama, and as such our fan involvement has some elasticity—especially when the spring game doesn't appear to be that much of a priority for the team to begin with.
