Following the Broncos to Iowa

Kalamazoo Gazette Columnist, David Drew, and photographer, James Buck, are following the WMU Bronco Football team to Iowa City and live-blogging their trip. Read along as David and James share their experiences with the team as they attempt to win their first of the season but third in a row against the University of Iowa Hawkeyes.

In 2000, WMU came into Iowa City with a MAC Championship-caliber team and came away with its first win over a Big Ten team in 12 years with a 27-21 victory over the Hawkeyes.

In 2007, we did it again. This time it wasn't as close as WMU grabbed a 19-0 lead and cruised to a 28-19 win. QB Tim Hiller led the way with 3 touchdown passes.

This year with Western looking for our first win and Iowa coming off a humbling loss to rival Iowa State, both teams are desperate for a victory.

The Broncos and Hawkeyes meet at noon, Saturday, Sept. 21, on the Big Ten Network. Old Burdick's at the Radisson in downtown Kalamazoo is hosting a watch party.

Follow David and James, Row the Boat, and GO BRONCOS!!
