The University of Iowa has officially announced its 2 color-themed games for the 2009 football season. While, the "Be Bold, Wear Gold" game against UNI has been known for a while, this is the first official announcement I've seen. The idea for this event is to coincide with FRYFEST. It should be a fun day and should be warm enough where the fans can actually just wear their gold t-shirts (because seriously, who has a gold coat?).

"Blackout Saturday" is schedule for the third week of the year for the game against Arizona. This game is definitely the most anticipated of the non-conference schedule (and it's the one I'm going to). It should be a good Big Ten vs Pac-10 match up and is a 2:30 regional ABC/ESPN game. I've already got a good black Iowa t-shirt (who doesn't )that I wore to the Penn State game last year, but if you want the official blackout shirt you can find it here.
