Some great color footage from the 1950s. Disneyland had just opened two years ago. And two years later, Iowa would repeat its Rose Bowl victory (over Cal) and claim the national title. Makes me proud to be a Hawkeye!!!
Kind of eerie saying their flight got delayed due to weather ... what, two years before bad weather caused “The Day the Music Died” also in Iowa? Also, five hours from Iowa to California.
@reedsposer22 RE: #5, who are those guys at 12:14 then? Iowa was actually one of the few integrated teams in the nation at the time. Iowa welcomed and played the first African American athlete to play in the Big Ten in the 1920s.....and played its first AA athlete in 1896. Frank Holbrook. Look up Duke Slater, he was the Jackie Robinson of College Football. Iowa has always been very progressive.

It's amazing how quickly American culture changed from 1950 to 1970.

Greta coverage of the trip but minimal game footage. I love color shots from the black and white days.
Wasn't Bob Jeter in there? Correct me if I'm wrong...
Is there any game film of Forest Evasheski's teams?
