June 6 is 'Iowa Day' on the BTN

June 1, 2012

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Fans looking for their summertime Hawkeye fix can tune into the BTN on June 6 for round-the-clock coverage of Iowa athletics.

The network is scheduled to three UI football games to go along with men’s basketball, wrestling and field hockey coverage. The network will also air Big Ten Icon specials featuring Nile Kinnick and Dan Gable.

The day begins at 6 a.m. (CT) with the UI football team’s 2011 comeback victory over Pittsburgh when the Hawkeyes completed the biggest comeback in school history.

At 8 a.m., the BTN will replay coverage of the Hawkeye field hockey team’s 2-1 victory over Ohio State in the 2008 Big Ten Tournament championship game, followed by the Iowa men’s basketball team’s road triumph at Wisconsin last season.

The Big Ten Icons series featuring Nile Kinnick will begin at noon followed by the football team’s 2003 win over Michigan at 12:30 p.m.

After airing the Dan Gable Big Ten Icons feature at 2:30 p.m., the BTN will televise coverage from the 2010 Big Ten Wrestling Championships.

The UI football team’s 2010 Insight Bowl victory over Missouri will begin at 6 p.m. followed by the main course — the 2005 Capital One Bowl win over LSU where Warren Holloway made “the catch” to propel Iowa to the victory on the last play of the game.

Two additional “Iowa Days” on the BTN will be held on June 28 and July 19.
