For five years, Iowa State and its fans have marked down the second Saturday of September as the only game on the schedule that matters. However, Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard just announced a major shake up for the Cyclones’ annual Super Bowl.
“After months of internal talks, surveying our fans, and countless nights trying to find myself in the woods, we feel it is in the best interest of Iowa State University to change our Super Bowl to the first Saturday of September against the University of Northern Iowa Panthers.”
“While the decision wasn’t easy, it would’ve been a failure on my end if I were to ignore the obvious reasons as to why Northern Iowa serves as a better Super Bowl opponent than Iowa,” Pollard continued.
