Technically a home game for the Northwestern Wildcats at Wrigley Field today, fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes outnumbered the people in purple perhaps 10-1, or even 15, or maybe 20-1 today.

Iowa Hawkeyes bubble burst: NIT versus ISU next
The Big Ten did not get 8 teams into the NCAA Tournament?

Illinois Fighting Illini junior DE Whitney Mercilus is just that; a man with a name built for his role like former Illini OL Eric Block, or current Buffalo Bills DB Reggie Corner.

Iowa Hawkeyes Fan Version of Wiz Khalifa “Black & Yellow” (Video)
Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow," you knew it was ripe for parody, perhaps a version just for Iowa Hawkeyes fans? Yes, your prayers have been answered...by Satan.
