Your night out in IC as told by Iowa football

Getting you hyped for football season and being back at the IC bars

Summer is just about half way finished and you know you’re getting excited about your return to Iowa City. Although fall semester means the start of classes, it also means the two best things about being back at Iowa: football season and hitting the bars with your friends.

To get you pumped, we illustrated your night out with the best Iowa football GIF’s we could find. Get ready to rage, Hawkeyes, the school year is coming.

You’re finally back at Iowa and it’s sylly week, which can only mean one thing: the squad is going out tonight.

The gang gets together for pregame and everyone is looking good. You all drink way too much and someone yells out, “Let’s send it!” You all take a last pull and head downtown. Tonight is going to be one for the books.

You guys make it to Airliner to start the night off with $4 liquor pitchers. The cute bartender is flirting with you hard and slides you and your friends a round of shots. “It’s on me,” he says with a wink.

You’re really starting to feel the alcohol hit you and you notice your phone buzzing. You dig it out of your pocket and what do you know, it’s your ex. He clearly saw your Snap Story and asks, “Hey you out tonight?” I think the fuck not.

Suddenly the front doors fly open and a group of cops rolls in to raid and check ID’s. The entire bar is like

Not today. There’s no way your night is going to get ruined with a ticket. You and your friends manage to slide past the cops, out the doors and down Clinton, making your escape.

Your squad passes Summit and some people on the patio start yelling to get your attention. One of your friends says he knows the group from his chem lab and that they’re rowdy AF.

You all run inside to join them.

Your new friends are equally as drunk as all of you are, and someone yells out “WHO WANTS A SHOT??”

You’ve lost track of how many shots you’ve thrown back and now you’re really starting to feel invincible.

You’ve really started to hit it off with one of the super cute guys from the new friend group. He’s been doing everything right, buying you drinks, not being creepy and hasn’t tried grabbing your ass yet! Major props.

One of your girlfriends isn’t so lucky though. A way too drunk weirdo has wandered over and clearly can’t take a hint.

You excuse yourself from your cute guy to run over and save her. You slide in, grab her and say, “Is this guy bothering you babe?” Turning to the creep, you tell him, “This is my girlfriend, she doesn’t play for your team. Sorry!” and drag her away.

Pass intercepted.

You all are WASTED and that means the time has come. You run across the Ped Mall and right into Union.

DJ Paimon is mixing some sick beats and its definitely time to dance.

“Despacito” comes on and you and your girls start screaming. Union is not ready for the dance moves you all are about to serve up.

You notice one of your friends leaving with the really cute guy from one of her business classes that she’s been talking to since last week. Get it girl.

The lights come on at Union and the bartenders yell for last call. The night has officially come to an end and your squad heads out to begin the drunken stagger home.

Suddenly one of your friends appears out of nowhere after being gone for far too long and wants you to check out his new “school spirit tat.” This latest addition goes perfect with the Hawkeye he got tattooed on his ass cheek during your trip to Cabo last year for Spring Break.

You all safely make it home and you crawl into bed, thankful that you set out a fat glass of water on your nightstand for the morning before you left for the pregame.

Damn it’s good to be a Hawkeye.
