per Greder:
The Gophers had a rough first quarter against Iowa at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday. They trailed 7-0 and had two offensive drives stall in the red zone.
That was briefly pushed to the side when they participated in the Hawkeyes’ fans new tradition of waving to patients in the children’s hospital across the street from the stadium.
As Hawkeyes players and coaches prepared for the second quarter, the Gophers went out to the hash marks and joined in the heart-felt moment that has grown in popularity in its first season.
“Emotional, it really was,” Fleck said Monday. “… It’s amazing that the kids are getting us to smile; it’s not the other way around. I think that is what was really special about it. There are so many things that are bigger than college football. There are so many things that are more important than the win or the loss, and that is one of them. I know it’s a young tradition, but that one pulls at your heartstrings.”
