I hate the Hawkeyes. They’re one of Wisconsin’s biggest rivals. Watching them lose warms my heart. However, we’re in a war right now.

In any war, you often find yourself in unlikely alliances, and coronavirus has provided the sports world with a common enemy.

So, on this day and until we meet in the field, I’m with Iowa in this fight. I hope like hell they’re back to normal as soon as possible.
