With the Iowa Hawkeyes heading to Sioux Falls, SD to face the Colorado Buffaloes, I’d like to take a brief moment to remind everyone of the fantastic drama which manifested itself when this game was announced.
Our fearless leaders could not recount what led to this game so here’s a refresher: Iowa was not selected for a third straight Gavitt Games against a Big East opponent so they found an alternative with Sioux Falls and Colorado. They offered $165,000 and some hotel rooms. “It wasn’t about that,” Fran said. Well, Sioux City took exception to it.
