Iowa NU Iowa State

[Skolcat]

Was recently reviewing the Iowa NU series in a debate with IA friends. It was odd that the series took a break in the 40s and 50s. Even odder we played IA State most of those years, and all in Evanston. Any insight into what was going on?

That wasn’t what you meant? Then... no, no idea what was going on.

It is an interesting circumstance. Wish I could ask my dad he would have known.

'Nam has nothing to do with it. The post was sent under duress: the reference to "IA friends" is a dead giveaway.

Exactly. Intoxication and Iowa share three vowels in common, leaving only W is for Whiskey. Iowans' biannual desecration of the Dry City offended the University fathers.
