Iowa’s locker room was first painted pink under coach Hayden Fry, who felt that color could help the Hawkeyes gain a psychological edge over their opponents. The tradition has continued since Fry’s departure and even through renovations to the facilities at Kinnick.

Iowa might have needed more than a psychological edge for a chance to beat Michigan Saturday night, however. The Wolverines are 21-point favorites. But coach Jim Harbaugh clearly wasn’t taking any chances.
