Game summaries

Illinois

Following the loss to Illinois, which was full of penalties and a couple of ejections for fighting, Iowa students began to throw fruit, cans, and bottles at the officials and Illinois' team as they left the field. One Iowa student was also punched by an Illinois player in the melee. Iowa and Illinois were not scheduled to play in 1953 and 1954, but their athletic directors decided to expand that timeline to 1958 in order to allow for a "cooling-off" period. That time frame was eventually extended until 1967, which created a 14-season gap in the series between the conference schools.[1][2]

gollark: I don't know about in general, but here, yes.
gollark: I like it here; there's no commute, I don't have to wear uniform, and it's possible to browse Discord during lessons.
gollark: It seems like I'm going back to in-person school next week, annoyingly.
gollark: I think the main thing is that, in the past, if some horrible virus wiped out a big chunk of human civilization, it would not spread anywhere else because they then died.
