IOWA FANS ARE OLD, BADASS
10.21.09
We love chicks that love football. And Carol Walden of Cedar Rapids loves football, so much so that she sat through the second half of last Saturday’s Iowa-Wisconsin game with a broken hip. Brian Urlacher must feel like such a pussy right now.
“I was hurrying back because halftime was over and I slipped in the kitchen and fell flat on my left side,” said Carol Walden.
The 71-year old woman is life-long Hawkeye fan. So dedicated, that even a trip to the hospital for a broken hip wouldn’t get in the way on Saturday.
“The doctor said you better get into the hospital and I said ok. My husband said well let’s go and I said no I have to see the Hawkeyes win,” said Walden. –KCRG, via Buster Sports
That’s a tough broad right there. Walden even insisted that her husband, Don Walden, drive her to the hospital so that she could listen to the post-game show in the car. Don, my man. I hope you realize how good you have it, sir. Video’s after the jump for your viewing pleasure.

Seriously, someone buy this tough old bird some tickets for the next home game.
/golf clap to you awesome lady….
Am I a bad person for being disappointed that the video didn’t feature footage of an old woman slipping and breaking her hip?
I was always under the impression that Big Ten football was much more painful than broken bones.
The Big Ten is a legit conference. At least it would be if you took all the bad teams out and replaced them with good ones.
@Zack, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.
UU, I thought the same thing when I read this post and had to go find the youtube of that fucking commercial.

I shouldn’t be laughing at this shit…
“…footage of an old woman slipping and breaking her hip?”
Sounds a LOT like most Big 11 game films.

+1 Mrs. Parker…the ‘fallen down and can’t get up’ geriatric is garden variety; pedestrian. The fucker with chest pains really made me think he was going to croak on camera.
Oh yea, I once had my friend keep hitting me so I didn’t pass out during a Giants game. Hit the fucking weight room, granny.
*shamrock off*
I actually live in Iowa City, and let me tell you, fucking Jesus himself could return to Earth, but if he did it in Kinnick Stadium on Saturday during a Hawkeyes game, we would chuck beer bottles, batteries, and babies at him until he got off the fucking field.
If that didn’t work, Tyler Sash would simply will the Son of God into oblivion, then spit cobra venom on the spot he was standing.
