Easy Iowa Hawkeyes Question Stumps ‘Jeopardy!’ Contestants

Imagine being a contestant on Jeopardy! and having the chance to add $200 to your bank by answering a simple question about a big college sports town.

For the competitors on Friday night’s episode of the legendary game show, that golden opportunity, unfortunately, came and went.

Listed under a category titled “Big Ten Geography,” the opening-round question—“The Hawkeyes’ home is this two-word town”—resulted in one wrong answer, zero attempts by the other two participants and an unclaimed sum of $200.

Fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes hoping host Ken Jennings can hear their answer through the screen likely won’t forget this clip for a long time.
