AMES, Ia. — Dan McCarney is the face of the annual Cy-Hawk football game. He played for the Hawkeyes and coached at both schools. So if there’s anyone that better exemplifies the rivalry, please inform me.
But let's talk about Week 1 first.
Looking for something similar surrounding Saturday’s Cy-Panther season-opening game at Jack Trice Stadium?
Look no further than Terry Allen, who not only has sons on both teams, but is also a former Northern Iowa head coach and was a UNI assistant coach for the shortened 2020 spring season.
That’s right.
