After a two year hiatus, IHUC returned to Lawrence, Kansas to participate in the 30^th annual Fools Fest. Though this was the last weekend of the USAU Collegiate regular season, Fools Fest itself was not sanctioned, and was instead set up in a round robin format designed for a relaxed and fun atmosphere.

On Saturday, a day of light winds and gorgeous weather, Iowa first played in state foe Iowa State. ISUC made a fight of it, and was ready and willing to take advantage of any Iowa mistakes, but the game was always firmly in IHUC’s control. Win 13-6. After a bye round, Iowa would face off against host team Kansas. Many of the things that were being worked on in the first game, began to click well in the second, and the D-line helped push across several breaks, going up 5-1 and then taking half 7-3. The team came out sluggish after half however and the Offensive line was broken twice in a row. The D-line came out to play an O point and, as the winds picked up, they battled for a long time with multiple turnovers before also getting scored upon by the Horrorzontals. The teams would keep it close and eventually the game would go to universe point, with IHUC securing the win 11-10. Next two games against Kansas State and Colorado State would be strong victories, as Iowa played well in the wind and started to lock down the fundamentals.

Saturday night there was to be a dance party hosted at the Grenada. All of IHUC attended and probably had too good of a time. Numerous wild stories were created that will forever live in IHUC lore.  Everyone nearly overslept on Sunday, and showed up late to the fields. After playing a quick game against Iowa State B (win) in ferociously windy conditions, the team- tired and filled with several injuries- decided to head home early.
