After a devout few leave for Lincoln, Ames and Iowa City on Saturdays, a sizable populace is still around. During the day, many are busy engaged in household chores, catching up at work, going to kids' soccer and running errands. For these people, Saturday night is the best time for families and friends to kick back and enjoy a college football game.
Morningside football can win and can draw.
Just a few years ago, it tied the eventual national champion. The largest crowd I've ever seen at Roberts, standing room only, did not involve Heelan and East, but Morningside. It was, of course, a night game. Briar Cliff is considering its own football program, I assume a scholarship one. If Morningside would go Division III, there would certainly be a quick reversal of stature within local college football.
