May very well be true... Gettysburg is at around 39 degrees north latitude. Iowa City's at around 41 degrees north latitude.
The trial incursion up north only got up to Gettysburg for our southern brothers. They didn't fare too well. They were doing alright until they got characteristically cocky and tried to run up the score by bringing what WWH would call a safety blitz. History tells us that they got scorched on that play and lost the battle and the momentum in the war. So maybe they've adopted the "once bitten..." principle when it comes to engaging in competitive endeavors north of the Mason-Dixon line.
