A Cedar Rapids bar is putting more faith in the Iowa offense than the majority of college football this season.
X-Golf, an indoor golf simulation bar, is rolling out a promotion that is as Big Ten as it gets: free beer from kickoff of the Big Ten Championship until Iowa scores against Michigan. That score can, for what it's worth, come from the offense or defense. X-Golf can swing it, probably, but it's an interesting marketing tactic for the 124th-ranked offense in the country.
The last time Michigan (12-0, 9-0 Big Ten) played Iowa in a Big Ten championship game, it took until 1:26 left in the first quarter for Iowa to put points on the board with a Caleb Shudak field goal. Iowa, which lost that game 42-3, is hoping for earlier success this season.
