[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 2] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 1533] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA HAWKEYE FOOTBALL TEAM ______ HON. DAVID LOEBSACK of iowa in the house of representatives Monday, February 22, 2010 Mr. LOEBSACK. Madam Speaker, today, I am introducing a Resolution to honor the University of Iowa Hawkeye football team for the great success they had on the football field during the 2009 season. The team began the season by winning its first nine football games, which set a new team record for consecutive wins to start a football season. The Hawkeyes finished the regular season with 10 wins and two losses, leaving them ranked seventh in both the final Associated Press and USA Today rankings, tied for second in the Big Ten Conference, and were invited to play in the 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The game was very well competed by both schools, but with stellar defense and an exciting offensive performance, the University of Iowa Hawkeye football team won the game 24-14. Through hard work and great success on the football field, the University of Iowa Hawkeye football team received numerous awards and won over many new fans. Through this Resolution, I hope to congratulate the 2009 University of Iowa Hawkeye football program for bringing honor to the team, the University of Iowa, the city of Iowa City, and the State of Iowa. ____________________
