Three regular-season concludes with Iowa
I know if you are like me, you were looking forward to Ohio State welcoming Iowa to the ‘Shoe in 2020. It’s been three years since that dark day in October of 2017 when the Hawkeyes pasted the Buckeyes 55-24 in Iowa City.
Since then, Iowa fans and players continue to talk about it in the same breath as their wedding day and birth of their firstborn. Nevermind the fact that the Hawkeyes promptly went out got spanked the following game by Wisconsin and then lost again to Purdue after that, it has all been about taking OSU behind the woodshed.
Glad to see the Big Ten finally got it right and replaced Michigan with Iowa v Ohio State for the final week of the season.
* Based on the 31 point beatdown in the last matchup it's still not much of a Rivalry

Look, in some ways we get it. It was a big win, and Iowa should be credited for playing as well as it did. However, many Ohio State fans were ready to exact revenge on the program. Now, there will still be that chance in late November.
Good.
