It’s about time. One of my favorite seasons of the year is finally here, college football season. Yes, there were games last week, but do those really count if the Iowa Hawkeyes aren’t playing?
The politically correct answer is yes, but in Hawkeye country the season doesn’t start until today. Today, the Iowa Hawkeyes welcome the Northern Illinois University Huskies to Kinnick stadium. For most Power 5 conference schools, this is your typical warmup game.
For the Hawks, playing NIU is anything but a typical warmup game. In fact, the last time these two teams faced each other, NIU left victorious.
