As great as this is to briefly take the focus off of the game, the sad truth is the football coach is paid more than any of the doctors in that hospital. For a football coach to be able to give away a million dollars shows how screwed up our priorities are. There's not a doctor in that hospital that has a spare million dollars on hand and yet their work is far more important than any stupid football game. And how many professors at an institution supposedly about education can give away a million dollars? How much more does the coach make compared to the college president?

Revisited this video today, and fitting it was at VT. I wore a VT hat the entire school year after the shootings there in 07. I met Kirk Ferentz twice that year and commented approvingly. Despite all the manufacturered "hate", there's so much love and positivity that can come from being a football fan. ❤💪

Its an amazing tradition, no one especially a kid should have to go thru cancer. I want to go to an Iowa game just to support the kids in the window

That is an ugly goal.

Goose is a great PA announcer, but you can't beat the legacy boom of Guy Perry! Was hoping to hear him back at the mic last weekend for the Hereos/Villians game

Sure missing the QC Mallards!

Yes! Saw this outside of the Golden Nugget!

classiest thing in college football... props to y'all up in Iowa City

As a maryland fan, i was happy that when they traveled to iowa in 2018 they joined in on the tradition too!

Jeez, how many times does quad city have to fold teams?

even if there is no hawkeye football this year , people should still gather at the stadium and wave

5:16 😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔

Ferentz's emotion puts it in proper perspective. Putting it together. Bigger than football. Unity. Hope. Effort. Fight for Iowa. Children's Hospital. IOWA!!!

Do the Storm get good attendance?

Buckeye here but the consideration and support Iowa and opponents show to these kids and give them a smile is awesome. I lost my grandson at 10 mnths to rare form of bacterial meningitus so I know the feeliings. So from this Buckeye. THANK YOU IOWA!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anywhere i can find the full broadcast?

I just want to say that this is so sweet because I have been a patient at the children's hospital

Everytime I see this it makes me emotional.. much love to the Iowa fan base and organization and the kids and staff at that hospital and the people who have been or had to go there or will have to be there best tradition ever in my opinion!! Much love from a UNC fan!!!!

Check out my vids Such a special place.

Check out my vids. Such a great place.

F the 8 people who have this video a thumbs down

Gopher alum: i want to wave to the kids @ Kinnick one day.

My thoughts and prayers to everyone at the U Of I Children’s Hospital🙏❤️📖✝️ You are all warriors🙏❤️📖✝️ Keep fighting🙏❤️📖✝️ God Bless🙏❤️📖✝️

This is really incredible to see these people give hope to those kids who think that there is no hope or feel forgotten. Wish I could give each of those kids a hug and show them they are loved. They are very precious to Jesus and to me.

The simplest gesture can have an everlasting impact for those who are fighting for their lives...AMERICA IS WAVING BACK

Love how such a simple gesture can mean so much to the children there. Hoping they all become well soon x

Why after 2 years I still cry when I see this???

It's not JUST Iowa fans who wave, the ref's, the opposing team and their coaches as well as our own players and coaches wave to the kids and their families who are healthy enough to be up on the 12th floor, aptly called "The Press Box", and what's cool is that the top floor of the hospital is higher than the Press Box of Kinnick!! You can see every single seat in the stadium from that 12th floor. Our children's hospital is incredibly kid friendly. The big windows let the sun shine in, the colors are vibrant, the cafeteria on the ground floor has great food.

I was in the crowd for gameday that day me and my friends had tears running down our faces as we were waving back to the camera the whole mood after that for at least a hour was really somber I hope to one day attend a game at Iowa so I can wave in person love VT but I will pull for Iowa now on

As a card carrying member of Jayhawk Nation, what a really cool gesture and kudos to a great new tradition.

I was there at gameday that day and I was proud to have waved to all of them

As I share this again...with journalists on the west coast who continue to "diss" Iowa and Iowa people, I see from a different perspective where the real quality lies. How can anybody, anywhere, thumb this down? Quality place, people, coach, players, values. @KMIR @Sara Sanchez @anybody else stupid enough to diss us. It's a reflection on you.

The ice looks horrible.....There should be at least 7 or 8 adds taken off the ice

But like mickigan. But stilll wave. Like iowa fans.

That is what it's all about right there. God Bless Us All + - Proud to be an Iowan and True Hawkeye Fan! Tim B. Miller www.IowaClown.com :o) www.HowToPlayYourGuitar.com ♫

This is stupid

Proud to be a Hawkeye ❤️🤙

Hawkeye spirit at it’s finest. I will always be proud to be a Hawk!! 🖤💛🖤💛🖤

Much love and respect coming from a Southern California fan! ✌🏼🏈💯

If the kids in that hospital ever see this 👋🏼

In a way I hope that this tradition will one day come to an end because there will be a cure for cancer and hospitals such as this one will no longer be necessary.

Hawkeye Heaven actually shared the post from someone's personal account, I don't remember who, HH definitely pushed it over....

So proud of my state and my Hawkeyes. This video gets me every time.

Truly remarkable and a great tradition which should represent our attitude towards humanity. Great on you Hawkeyes from a Texas Aggie.

Sending best wishes from Philadelphia to those beautiful babies in Iowa.... We love you so much and pray for you every day. Iowa organization and their fans..... 1,000 % class.

I am a huge Hawkeye fan and seeing how this has spread almost globally warms my heart immensely!!!! It's so emotional to see the love for these kids spreading so far and wide!! To all you kids at the Children's hospital there, keep your hope and faith!! I will always pray for you kids!!!

This goes beyond Football. Beyond sports. This is Humanity at it's best. This gets me emotional every time they do it. I actually look forward to Iowa football now. Sorry to all of the families who have lost a child. Go Hawkeyes! #winitforthekids #family

In the words of a good friend of mine, "Sports are unimportant -- which is exactly what makes them so important." When you can bring 70,000 people together in a gesture of kindness (granted, a lot more than that now that we know the story), the sport doesn't matter. But its potential affect on those around the sport, whether involved or just in the proximity, is gigantic, and I have nothing but love for the Hawkeyes for instilling this new tradition. May it last for as long as kids across the street still need hope.

6:50 You cant watch and not tear up

Who the fuck downvotes this
