Pretty flattering.  |
That is exactly right. The first thing coach Hayden Fry did when he got to Iowa was change the uniforms, and paint the visitors locker room pink. He did ask permission from The Chief, and graciously got it. From that day the Hawkeye's and the Steelers history has been a part of each others.
We might have done better if we had not lost our starting QB the last game, but all and all I am real happy with this year.
