Ep 020: Wisconsin Football - Recap of Iowa vs Wisconsin history 1894-1939

We take a look at week 7 opponent Wisconsin and the games played from 1894 until the Nile Kinnick days through 1939. There are almost 100 games played between the two teams, and Iowa is 45-49-2 all-time. The Hawks lost the first 6 games in the series, including the famous "rabbit game" of 1907. That game also has a game program you can download. There is also a series of goal post teardowns in 1928 and 1929 that lead to near brawls, which reminded me of the 2002 Minnesota game in the Metrodome, so listen for that in the podcast, and check out the articles to read more. Iowa had its own winning streak from 1977 to 1996, when the Hawks were 17-0-1 (tied in 1984), but fortunately Iowa didn't play two Wisconsin Rose Bowl teams in 1993 and 1994. I'll highlight the other games after 1939 in a future podcast.
