Final Football Box Quietly Marks Bus Graham and Fred Stabley’s Farewells
Longtime Iowa athletics business manager Francis Bus Graham retires after 28 years, with Hayden Fry’s 1980s era boosting ticket demand and a near sellout final home game. Michigan State SID Fred Stabley ends a 32 year PR career as Iowa with ties to the Big Ten since 1953. The piece notes Skywriters trophies named for Stabley, and previews upcoming events at Five Seasons Cedar Rapids and Five Flags Dubuque. It also references Notre Dame coach Digger Phelps on rules vs. the Soviet tour and Marcus Marek of Ohio State as a featured newcomer.
