Iowa trailed 24-3 with 3:11 remaining in the third quarter. 21 points - Iowa 31, Pittsburgh 27, Sept.I asked Steve about comebacks and he sent this. Hey, part of the reason I'm doing this is because I finally have enough years in the bucket to make the memories something. Iowa has had only four SIDs since the 1920s. Iowa also would get occasional help from Ron Gonder and the late Bob Brooks. On George and his unique ability to find factlets like this, Steve said, 'He had great memory for this type of stuff, then we would go check the records.' Iowa struggles with marketing because I think the ethos is 'college' over 'football' and that makes it weird, but that's a whole other podcast. One thing I often see attached to SIDs is marketing. They're in the corps and want to send a shiny car out of the garage.

Most SID staffs are people who are 'of' the program. We've shared many laughs about some of the craziness that has been spit out of this three-ring circus.įor the most part, SIDs aren't fly-by-night, job-hopping megalomaniacs. He tells me no on some things and yes on some. Phil retired in 2011 and now Roe is the SID. He eats leftover Ruth's Chris for breakfast. The torch was passed to Phil Haddy, who I think only got stronger after suffering a heart attack in 1999. In 1999, George wrote the book, 'Hayden Fry: A High Porch Picnic.' Gazette columnist Mike Hlas shared some memories and posted the column he wrote about being a one-person sports information department in 1968.
SOOEY COMEBACK FULL
Everyone needs keepers of the flame (oh no, he's going full salute to the SIDs).
