The Morning After: Karma
Look – the Football Gods called for…something, after Michigan stole a game from Western Michigan in Week 1. Everyone that isn’t a Michigan fan acknowledged they should not have won that game. They stole from the footballing world with that result. The injured the Footballing Gods that night. They should have entered Saturday’s tilt with […]
Hawkeye Football: Instant Reaction Iowa Shocks Michigan 20-19 on Late TD
Karma is a wonderful thing, and it’s something I believe in. It has no set timing for when it will emerge. But eventually, you reap what you sow. And what goes around, comes around. On this day, karma’s timing was perfect, as was its delivery. The pregame narrative from the talking heads was whether Bryce […]

Caitlin Clark Has Made Her Case For MVP
If you’ve followed Caitlin Clark’s career since she graduated Iowa, you’ve been on quite the ride. After a promising and historically great rookie season, Caitlin struggled with injuries in year 2 and we all had to wait to see what she would become with a full year of professional experience to build on. It still […]

The non-conference slate is over and now the Hawkeyes head to Ann Arbor for their biggest test of the year in the Big Ten Conference opener as they face #18 Michigan.

2026 College Football Watch Guide – Week 4
We’re a quarter of the way into the season and conference games are beginning in earnest. A few have already been played like Purdue at UCLA or Kentucky at Texas A&M last week. The latter was another banner moment for the young season, joining the big upsets in week 2 and the extra second in […]
By The Numbers: Iowa vs. Michigan
A certain journalist from a very well respected publication in the state of Iowa noted, recently, that Iowa has not won a game played in front of 100K+ fans in more than 15 years. Their last victory in such an environment, coincidentally, was at the Big House against a Michigan team led by Rich Rodriguez. […]
Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 3
Another meh weekend for the league. There were a couple of higher-profile games and the league went 1-2. Maryland lost at home to Virginia Tech. Michigan State lost at Notre Dame (no shame there.) Northwestern smashed Colorado. Everyone else that was supposed to win did. 1. #5 Indiana (3-0, 0-0) No surprise here. Probably not […]
Hawks in the NFL: Week 2
Woah – this was an action-packed weekend for former Hawks. We have a couple of houes calls. We have defenders making huge plays all day Sunday. Let’s attempt to unpack a busy Week 2. George Kittle Somehow, someway, Kittle is back a little over nine months since he ruptured his Achilles in Philadelphia. Amazing. After […]
KIRK SPEAKS: Michigan
Well folks, it’s week 4 and the Hawkeyes are headed on the road to face the Michigan Wolverines. Are the Wolverines good? Are they bad? Nobody knows! But the fact that the game is at the Big House does make things significantly more challenging for a relatively unproven squad. It’s an important week, not only […]
Iowa Football: The Scenic Route Runs in the Family: Braeden Jackson’s Birthright of Betting on Himself
For decades Iowa football has set the gold standard for identifying unheralded, overlooked recruits and turning them into top notch players by the time they leave the University of Iowa. Parker Hesse, Jake Gervase, and Kristian Welch all have three things in common. They were all standout stars for the Hawkeyes. They all went on […]
Iowa Football: Hawkeyes Face Big Test at Michigan
The non-conference slate is officially in the rearview mirror and with it goes any and all opportunities for tune-ups and getting healthy.

Hawkeyes Football: Wound Up and Rewind After Iowa Blasts Northern Iowa 55-0
It was hard not to get wound up watching this one. Iowa’s offense rolled over UNI like a tsunami. Iowa got the ball first and immediately broke the dam open on a 75-yard drive that started with a pass play on first down and was peppered with an alternating variety of rushing and passing plays. […]
The Morning (Evening) After: Tune-Up
Generally, I don’t think much is gained from a game like this. It can backfire spectacularly. We see this story multiple times a season across college football and you only have negatives as the favored program. – God forbid, a loss. Injuries. Shaky showings. Bad perception of where you are as a team. Negative everything. […]
44 days till Iowa Hoops: Joey Matteoni
While football season is in full swing, it doesn’t mean we can’t dabble in some basketball prep ahead of the first tip-off on November 3rd! Next up is third year forward, Joey Matteoni!

Hawkeye Football: Updated Game Line, Weather Update for Northern Iowa-Iowa
Welcome back, troops! So far, the Weather Gods have offered up a mixed bag this season. Week 1 saw intense heat. Week 2 was pristine. Week 3? Well, bring rain gear. You may need it in the morning, as rain chances bounce back and forth between 40 and 60 percent. There may, however, be a […]
Iowa Football: Hawkeyes Look to Kickstart Season With UNI Matchup
Through two weeks of this young college football season, we’ve seen quite the roller coaster ride both in Iowa City and across the country. Entering the year, the Big Ten looked like the nation’s preeminent conference. There were a pair of top-5 teams, a trio in the top-10 and a handful of other teams that […]
The Pants Predicts: Iowa vs Northern Iowa
The Hawkeyes are poised to close out their non-conference slate as well as their season-opening three game home stand on Saturday as they play host to the Northern Iowa Panthers.

Iowa Hawkeyes Football: Northern Iowa Panthers Game Preview
On Saturday, the Iowa Hawkeyes will be playing the Northern Iowa Panthers for the nineteenth time in its history.

2026 College Football Watch Guide – Week 3
They say misery loves company but I doubt that will make the faithful in Norman, Oklahoma and Eugene, Oregon feel any better about last weekend. The Sooners and the Ducks were the unfortunate victims of 2026’s first big upsets of the year – for games played less than sixty minutes and one second, that is. […]
By The Numbers: Iowa vs. Northern Iowa
The last time UNI came to Iowa City was 8 years ago, but no one is talking about that game (a 38-14 Hawkeye win) this week. No, a visit from the Panthers will only, ever, invoke one memory for most Hawkeye fans, and that memory is from September 5, 2009. Pretty sure most of us […]
Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 2
What a disaster of a week for the Big Ten Conference. Let’s pick our way through the carnage of Week 2. 1. IU (2-0, 0-0) Well, here we are with the defending champs up to #1 again. Yeah, it’s Howard. Yeah, IU should hammer this team. And look at that – they did. They’re good […]
Hawks in the NFL: Week 1
We are back protecting the shield! Let’s dive in. A couple of players found the scoresheet this week. George Kittle is back from his Achilles injury. Tory Taylor barely had to do anything while Chicago nearly dropped 60 on Carolina. The Broncos “played” a game of football Monday. Sam LaPorta, Jack Campbell, and Noah Fant […]
KIRK SPEAKS: UNI
And just like that, it’s Week 3! This week’s opponent, the University of Northern Iowa Panthers, should not be a huge issue for this Iowa Hawkeyes team, no matter how the rest of the season goes. That being said, there are definitely some valid questions to ask about what the rest of the season will […]
Fun With Numbers: Stats to Know From Iowa’s Win Over Iowa State
Iowa’s win over the Iowa State Cyclones certainly was not pretty. The Hawkeyes went into the matchup favored by as many points as any game in the Cy-Hawk series in a decade. However, instead of the thrashing Iowa fans yearned for, we were given yet another slug fest in which we saw both teams trade […]
Iowa Hawkeyes: The Day That Changed the Culture of Iowa Football September 15, 1979
September 15, 1979. It’s widely viewed as the day when the culture of Iowa football had a dramatic shift. But before we dive into what happened on that day, we need to back up a little bit and talk about what happened before that day. Well, more than just a little bit. 19 years to […]

Hawkeye Football Wound Up and Rewind: The Cy-Hawk Game
This game is never a fun experience, for either side these days. What a slog. Always a field goal game, one way or the other. It’s torture. Who actually likes this game? Put your hands down, you sickos… But hey, Iowa nabbed a 16-13 win in the Cy-Hawk game (note; no one, and I mean […]
Caitlin Clark and Team USA take on France in FIBA World Cup Finals
For a team that has been a heavy favorite in each game it has played, it hasn’t felt like an easy road for team USA during this FIBA World Cup. Yesterday, the team faced off against Spain, which features Hawkeye legend Megan DiLeo (formerly Gustafson) and struggled more than expected. Spain deserves credit for being […]
Hawkeye Football: The Morning After Iowa State vs Iowa
The Cyclones came to Kinnick hoping to spoil Iowa’s massive recruiting weekend, but in a traditional Cy-Hawk fashion, Iowa survived on a game winning field goal and got to hoist the trophy to take it back home to its rightful resting place. I was fuming at the end of this game and didn’t feel a […]
Instant Reaction: Iowa 16, ISU 13
The Iowa Hawkeyes flipped the script on the Cyclones, winning this year’s CyHawk game on a late field goal to pull out a 16-13 win. It was a scrappy, ugly, sometimes dirty game that was pretty much in line to how this series has gone these last ten years. But the Hawkeyes exorcised the demons […]
Iowa Hawkeyes vs Iowa State Cyclones Fan Discussion
It’s game time, baby! The Hawkeyes are back in action and for the second week in a row, Iowa will play host to a first year coach as the Iowa State Cyclones come to town with new head coach Jimmy Rogers. While Rogers was at South Dakota State before his one year stint at Washington […]
Party Like It’s 2016?
College football, in its purest form, is a remarkable game full of tradition, pageantry and so much fun. At the apex of that purity sits rivalry games. Texas-Oklahoma. Ohio State-Michigan. Iowa-Iowa State. There are generations of tradition and hatred built up among the fanbases and the games just bring more juice. Tonight marks the 73rd […]
How to Watch the Iowa Hawkeyes vs Iowa State Cyclones

Hawkeye Football: Updated Game Line, Weather Update for Iowa State-Iowa
Welcome back! Heading into Saturday’s Cy-Hawk showdown, the forecast looked like there was a chance of rain at some point on Saturday.

Temperatures throughout the […]
University of Iowa Recruiting: Cy-Hawk Weekend Serves as Massive Backdrop for Hawkeye Football and Basketball Targets
It’s Cy-Hawk week in Iowa City. While the state divides and “Hate Week” takes over, the Iowa coaching staffs are turning the annual intra-state grudge match into a massive recruiting weapon. The timing and setting couldn’t be better for Hawkeye Nation. This year’s battle for the Cy-Hawk Trophy will be showcasing Kinnick Under the Lights, […]
The Pants Predicts: Iowa vs Iowa State
We are closing in on game day in the Cy-Hawk series and we’ve officially reached that time of the week where nobody has any idea what to expect.

2026 College Football Watch Guide – Week 2
You could say it’s true, the (Big) House always wins. Week 1 had a little bit of everything for everybody. Huge blowouts? Yep. Nailbiter endings that came down to the wire? It had those too. Games played in semidarkness with no stadium clocks, PA system, or coach-QB communication? A little strange, but sure. Speaking of […]
The Butcher’s Word: Iowa State Cyclones
Hate week is in full swing and while perhaps no opponent is as familiar to Iowa fans as the Iowa State Cyclones, this year’s iteration of the Cy-Hawk series features a brand new regime in Ames. The Hawkeyes have not faced off with Jimmy Rogers as head coach previously so it’s time to get to […]
By The Numbers: El Assico
Hate Week is almost over folks, and it’s been one for the ages (at least if the signs hanging off frat houses in Iowa City count for anything). There’s a whole new Cyclone team heading to Iowa City to play under the lights in the house that Hayden built, more than 80 of whom have […]
