Big Ten football is less than three weeks away. Iowa football is less than three weeks away. All attention for Hawkeye fans should be on that building excitement. And yet, it’s hard not to look a month beyond Iowa’s first scheduled football game of 2020 and feel almost giddy thinking about the return of Luka Garza and the Iowa hoops team.
The delayed start to football season means there’s at least some risk of lulling fans to sleep. We’ve had a schedule, a revised schedule, a fully postponed season, then a resumed season with a newly revised schedule and now fans are entering week six of the college football season with nearly three weeks remaining until we get to watch anyone in the conference take the field again.
