  "account": "The annual friendly wager between former Iowa Hawkeye tight end George Kittle and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy took a humorous turn after Iowa's victory over Iowa State. Kittle and Purdy, teammates for the 49ers, have been placing bets on the Cy-Hawk game for years. The loser of the game is required to wear apparel from their rival team's former school. This year, Iowa's 16-13 win over Iowa State resulted in Purdy being the one to wear Iowa gear during his media availability. Purdy joked about the Hawkeye logo, stating, \"Any Hawkeye logo looks ugly to me, so it sucks.\" The bet between Kittle and Purdy highlights the friendly rivalry between the two programs and their alumni.",
