Things I Admire About the Iowa Hawkeyes

It would be epic if you came up with 341 things to admire about Iowa.
Wait. That's a decimal point. That's much more realistic.

That wave is an appalling exploitative gimmick.
F.Y.I. when people use the underground parking garage, say to go see their sick child at the hospital, 100% of the money you pay to use that garage goes to the University of Iowa Athletic Department. The hospital doesn't see a dime.
This information came from one a nurse who worked there when I was a patient at the hospital.
Also, when there is a home game, the underground parking garage is first come, first serve. None of those spots are reserved for people who are visiting the hospital. Edit: Same nurse told me this as well, roughly two years ago. Their policy might have changed.

I didn't ask. I see where you are going with that question and it is a valid point.
Yup. I wasn't trying to trap you...I was just wanting more info before forming an opinion. If the AD built the garage and allows the hospital to use it, then AD should be able to set the conditions (usage, distribution of income from users, etc). If the hospital built the garage, the same applies to them.
Hahaha this article is so perfect. Good work Fitzy. I was half expecting a genuine list of admirable things about the Hawks but was pleasantly surprised to read through this. Fantastic.
Unfortunately I don't know the dude well enough at this point to have any kind of barometer of what to expect in his articles. Gonna be looking forward to more of this moving forward though.
While I'm at it, I absolutely love this week. Can't wait for Saturday and the build up leading to the game is so much fun. I just hate Iowa so much. I always hear fans saying "Well I'm an Iowa State fan but I root for Iowa when they're not playing the Hawkeyes." or vise versa. I am 100% opposite of this line of thinking- I want them to lose every game that they play.
They do manage to attract people who have no connection at all to the place to go watch their games. My slack jawed mouth breather cousins take out loans to buy season football tickets. Not one person has ever gone to school there, worked there, they might have been seen at UIHC for mental health issues but that is it.
My daughter and I saw ISU beat Iowa at Trice in 2001. Two hok fans, both drunk, got into an argument a row ahead of us. It got pretty heated, and next thing you know they're trading punches. (Not too many of them landed, fortunately.) We both thought their ride home was going to be a long one.
I've noticed they keep a lot of really bad tattoo artists in business.

That approached competence, and I had a couple of chuckles.
Kid might make it after all.
