Iowa Wave Goes to Holiday Bowl


The "Iowa wave" is world-famous, thanks to national coverage of last night's Holiday Bowl.  Our favorite football team, the Hawkeyes, trounced USC 49-24.  My favorite part of the game was watching fans, players and coaches pause to wave to the patients at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital at the end of the first quarter, a tradition witnessed worldwide.

We watched the first half with my wife's lifelong friends at a sports bar near our home and caught the end of the game on a Spanish live stream our son found online.  Our cable is no longer part of our household.  We waved good-bye to those unnecessary fees in an effort to accelerate our mortgage payoff.  Felicidades to the Hawkeyes.  Thank you for a great season and thanks for remembering those sick kids at the hospital.  We can't wait to cheer for you again next season.  Have a great day.
