A correction (of sorts) on Iowa football milestones

In finding out the NCAA has drastically abbreviated some statistics for its newest record book (see post 10/20), I came across another case where the NCAA and a university disagree on history.

The NCAA says Iowa has 593 all-time wins coming into the season, while the Iowa media guide says 594. Fortunately, this was an easy answer to find: The outcome of a game against Kansas in 1891 is disputed.

I mention this because it’s possible Iowa will get its 600th all-time win the same season, and possibly the same weekend, Iowa State has its 600th all-time loss. Iowa needs to win two more games and Iowa State lose two for those milestones.
