Our Team Coverage continues now in indianapolis. While there might not be a lot of love between the hawkeyes and spartans once the game starts, Scott Westerberg discovered the two fine outside lucas oil stadium. It didnt take long after getting to the parking lot to find an odd mixture. You have to tell me the backstory of the hawkeyes and spartans together.
