I've experienced great seasons with Iowa and the University of Kansas (my alma mater -- we went to the Orange Bowl my senior year), and some not so great years as a spectator -- most other years at KU.
I'm now resigned to traveling to Manhattan, Kansas, most fall weekends to attend Kansas State University games with my boyfriend -- he's a KSU grad and we have season tickets.
So, while I'm searching for updates on the Hawkeyes and Jayhawks on my iPhone or on the shoddy radio reception, you can be home watching (or listening to) your favorite teams take the field.
To make that task a bit easier, here are the schedules for Iowa, Iowa State, UNI and Drake football games.
