    Telegram to Gov of Iowa 1935

    Dear Clyde, Minnesota folks excited over your statement about the Iowa crowd lynching the Minnesota football team. I have assured them that you are a law-abiding gentleman and are only trying to get our goat. The Minnesota team will tackle clean, but, oh! how hard, Clyde. If you seriously think Iowa has any chance to win, I will bet you a Minnesota prize hog against an Iowa prize hog that Minnesota wins today. The loser must deliver the hog in person to the winner. Accept my bet thru a reporter. You are getting odds because Minnesota raises better hogs than Iowa. My best personal regards and condolences.

    Might be shortlived, but we’re loving a chance for a winning season-bowl game.

    Has Iowa ever won a national football championship? (men’s football)

    If so, I’m sure it was way back when…..

    I was a tike when my uncle and I met the National Champion Gophers returning from the Rose Bowl game January 1961 …..

    After Governor Olsen recievied that prize winning boar from Iowa he thought how grand it would be to mate that boar with the prettiest native born Mn. girl he could find.Thats when he discovered that their are some things even a pig won’t do.
