Okay, so I was trying to figure out this whole Michigan vs. Iowa football thing. You know, like, who’s been winning more over the years and stuff. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, I gotta say.
First off, I went straight to Google. Typed in “Michigan vs Iowa football history” and boom, a bunch of websites popped up. There’s this one called “Winsipedia,” which sounded kinda official, so I clicked on that.
It’s got all these stats and graphs, which was cool but also a little overwhelming. I saw stuff about all-time records, national championships, and conference championships. They even had a breakdown of team vs. team records and conference vs. conference stuff. It’s a lot to take in, you know?
Then I found this other site – it was the official Michigan Wolverines page. They had a whole section dedicated to their history against Iowa. It was pretty much the same information, just presented in a different way. Honestly, it felt like I was reading the same thing twice.
Digging Deeper
I wanted to find something a little more… I don’t know, interesting? So I kept scrolling through the search results. Found a few more sites that basically just listed the scores of past games. Not exactly what I was hoping for.
There was this one page that mentioned something about a game in 2002. It said Iowa beat Michigan pretty badly, like 34-9, and that Iowa won the Big Ten title that year. And then they played again the next year in Iowa City. That got me a bit more curious, but I was getting tired and called it a day. No more exploring.
What I Learned (Sort Of)
So, what did I actually learn from all this? Well, not as much as I hoped. It seems like Iowa has won more games overall in this rivalry, but that’s the only real nugget I got. I did find out one person on the net says that Iowa leads the all-time series 48-30 as of the 2023-24 season, but I don’t know if that’s true. Oh well, maybe next time I have a free afternoon, I’ll try to piece together more of the story. It’s definitely a lot of history there, just gotta find a way to make sense of it all.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure into the world of Michigan vs. Iowa football history. It wasn’t exactly a touchdown, more like a… fumble? But hey, at least I tried, right?
- Searched on Google for “Michigan vs Iowa football history”.
- Visited Winsipedia and found stats on all-time records, championships, etc.
- Checked the official Michigan Wolverines website for their perspective.
- Found some basic game results on other sites, nothing too exciting.
- Read a little about a notable game in 2002 where Iowa won big.
Conclusion: Iowa seems to have a better record overall, but it’s all a bit fuzzy. More research is needed!
