Iowa’s rollercoaster ride of a season continues today as the Hawkeyes return home to Kinnick Stadium to play host to the Northwestern Wildcats. Iowa, of course, hit the road a week ago with newfound optimism after a dominating win over Washington in their last home game at Kinnick. Naturally, with all that optimism the Hawkeyes proceeded to let the wheels completely fall off in East Lansing last weekend.
Such is life as an Iowa fan.
And thus, the Hawkeyes come home to Kinnick on homecoming with some mixture of frustration, anger, disappointment and apathy setting in amongst the fanbase.
