Next week, as they're getting ready to take the field, Paul will turn to his players and announce: "This is one small step for man...one giant **** iowa for all mankind."

Sevenscore and seventeen years ago the Cyclones brought forth on thiscontinent, a new institution, conceived in Victory, and dedicated tothe proposition that the Hawkeyes suck.
Nowwe are engaged in a great Cy-Hawk series, testing whether our fans,or any University so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. Weare met on a great football-field of that war. We have come todedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for thosewho here gave their life that that Cyclone nation might live. It isaltogether fitting and proper that we should **** Iowa.
But,in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- wecan not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, whostruggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to addor detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we sayhere, but it can never forget what they did here. It is rather for usto be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- thatfrom these honored Cyclones we take increased devotion to that causefor which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we herehighly resolve that these Cyclones shall not have played in vain --that this Cyclone nation, under God, shall have yet another triumph-- and that a University of the Cyclones, by the Cyclones, for theCyclones, shall not perish from the earth. And, most importantly,**** the Hawkeyes.

The original words to the fight song were just discovered in a library:
Oh we will **** **** **** **** Iowa....
Better be singing **** Iowa on saturday
Oh we will **** **** **** **** Iowa....
Better be singing **** Iowa on saturday
I am going to go ahead and like this, however....
This is heading in the general direction of an open letter. I suppose there are some young, impressionable, new CF posters that may be tempted to drop one during the upcoming week.
Keep your wits about you folks, don't do it. I haven't been around here that long but I have seen perfectly good lives ruined because of poor judgement in the heat of battle.
**** Iowa, bend em over and **** Iowa again
Football is a game of inches. The inches we need are everywhere around us. We fight for that inch. Life is just a game of inches, the margin for error is so small. Look into the eyes of the guy next to you is he willing to die for that inch?
That's a team gentleman and either we win now as a team or we die as individuals, that's football folks, That's Life, That's All It is. Now let's go **** iowa
