As the clock struck zero, Hawkeyeland was vacillating between disbelief and euphoria. The next morning and I’m still cycling through those emotions. The 31-6 Iowa Hawkeyes beat the 36-1 South Carolina Gamecocks by a score of 77-73. I have watched and written about every game this year, and going in I thought we had a slight chance to win. I was teetering on the, “I hope we don’t get blown out” mindset. Now, I am a lifelong Vikings, Twins (post ‘87/’91 so I can’t claim those championships), and Hawkeye fan, so there is a little doubt that creeps into my mind for big games.
What Did We Just Witness? Hawks to ‘Ship!
