[NU Sports] Iowa in 1996

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

The show was "Candide" and "Pictures at an Exhibition." :)

But the game was indeed awesome. Kinnick is about as close to the game as you can get and as we were squeezing in between the team and fans to go out at halftime, they were so stunned they couldn't even come up with any good insults.

GO CATS!!! BEAT IOWA!!!

PS - You forgot the McAmish meal. :)
