Back then, and through 1983, if a game was not selected for network TV, it could be aired live only in the teams' respective home markets, and if it wasn't a sellout, it would be blacked out for a 400-mile radius from the game site. That's why this game was on KTLA-5 in Los Angeles.
My first game was a few weeks later when they lost to Minnesota. :-( Stupid blocked punt. I was there with the Boy Scouts. We got free entry and then held a rope at the end of the game to "keep people of the field".

This was my first ever Hawkeye football game.
Walking into Kinnick Stadium for the first time as a 10 year old changed everything.

At least three people in this thread who count this as their first game in Kinnick. Mine too.
This was the first time I've seen this game. Thanks!
