I do. Both teams have very similar styles, are border states, and have played several meaningful games throughout the years. Wisconsin coaches Barry Alvarez and Brett Bielema had ties to Iowa, which made their games even more interesting. They play annually for the Heartland Trophy. It has also been a very close series, with Wisconsin holding a narrow advantage 45-43-2
man this seems like such a long time ago, cant believe it was only 2009
Thank you for posting this! Great memories
Amazing how loud the Iowa fans were at this game.
Man I remember those days when Iowa beat Wisconsin lol. Miss 'em!
We blitz more in the highlights of this video than we have this year...
"Those days"? We lost by a point the only other game we have played since the game in the video.
The perpetual Wisconsin weakness -- QB.
Didn't Stanzi get hurt on this run and Vandenburg take over at OSU? Should have won that game too, took it to overtime with our 2nd string.

Just wondering: Since you're an Iowa fan Hawkeye Historian, do you consider Wisconsin as a rival?

TheHawkeyeHistorian I believe the game with Wisconsin is always big because a lot of times, it can determine the division winner.
Andy, exactly as since the B1G was divided east and west the winner of the Iowa Wiski game has always been the west champ
Miss you Stanzi
