IOWA CITY – With the Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones ready to battle for annual football bragging rights, the rest of the student body is ready to battle for annual burrito bragging rights at Panchero’s Mexican Grill. Locals and students will ring in a new University of Iowa school year with dollar burritos from 2 to 4 p.m. Aug. 24 at 32 S. Clinton St.

The promotion pits students from Iowa and Iowa State universities in a head-to-head burrito bonanza that poses the challenge: Which school can draw the largest turnout at its respective Panchero’s location? As part of the competition, dollar burritos will be simultaneously sold at both the Clinton Street restaurant and at Panchero’s in Ames at 1310 S. Duff Ave.

 Z102.9 FM will broadcast live from the event as Panchero’s will give away free t-shirts to the first 800 people at the restaurant. While the promotion has remained a staple of University of Iowa students’ back-to-school routines for the past four years, 2010 marks the first year they will go head-to-head with the Iowa State student body for chance to proclaim burrito supremacy.
