Minnesota Football at Iowa: HATE WEEK IS HERE!!!

Who hates Iowa?

The first college football game I ever saw from the stands was the 2005 Iowa-Minnesota game at Kinnick Stadium. It was a 52-28 drubbing that scarred me for life. Thanks a lot, Ed Hinkel. Coupled with the fact that I live in Iowa, where I can't leave the house without running into a Hawkeye fan, that miserable experience in Iowa City -- and several unfortunate games since then that I will not mention here, for fear of drudging up traumatic memories best left buried -- has led me to develop a deep hatred for the Iowa Hawkeyes over the years.
