Change the Game: 1977 Iowa/ISU Commemorative Pepsi Bottle

As an Iowa fan, I always love a good rivalry game. My first 2 football games were rivalry games; 2005 vs Minnesota and 2008 vs Iowa State. But none of these games were bigger than the 1977 Iowa/ISU game. With that said, I'll let the wonderful writers at Black Heart Gold Pants handle the story of this game.

If that was tl;dr, here is the 10 second recap

Now that you are all brushed up on history, here is the bottle. Similar to the Coke Rose Bowl bottle, this was part of a commemorative set done by Pepsi. However, Pepsi only released 3 special bottles that year.

Price Paid: $6.99
Bought At: Coralville Stuff ETC
Condition: Excellent. Missing cap but no damage to the bottle
Going For: $3.99-$30

Here is hoping that the Iowa/ISU rivalry doesn't go away for another 40 years. Although, those ugly "BEAT IOWA" jerseys can disappear for another 40 years. Oh wait... that's 3 years from now. Damn....

Go Hawks!
