The Cy-Hawk series sparks passion and fiery debate. It’s a rivalry you’re born into. Individuals are raised on either side of the fence and there’s no easy way to be on both sides.
It’s a series that has been almost as even as possible over the past 20 years, and it’s given us some unforgettable moments in that stretch. How about the Jake Knott interception to ice the game at Kinnick Stadium? Or the 3OT marathon in Jack Trice Stadium that had both fan bases on the edges of their seats? There have been a mix of blowouts and close games, so why would anyone want to get rid of a healthy rivalry game?
