Well, when your all world RB that has 263 yards decides to fumble on the 10 yard line for the probable the winning score in the 4th quarter, you know the team is cursed. When one of your best DBs then proceeds to drop a possible pick 6 right after that at the same 10 yard line, you know the team is cursed. When your head coach doesn't wear headgear in 15 degree weather, brain freezes, then decides to go ultra conservative and run the same shit over and over and over until your team inevitably comes up short, you know your team is cursed. When the D coordinator forgets to the tell the defense cover the tight end, Iowa's only offensive weapon, you know the team is cursed. The Iowa curse.
