    Iowa's historical position

    No, no such finger was pointed. It was simply this is where our program stacked up against all others over the last 36 years. A time period including 3 ADs, and 2 head coaches.

    Iowa's historical position

    The top 25 percentile was in D1. Yes, we do have a "good" program. There are many teams that wish they could achieve the results that IOWA has. I am also hope full that the new facilities can help them take the next step up. Go Hawks

    Iowa's historical position

    Iowa's Big futility

    Those stats are shocking, pathetic, and for an athletic program this strongly supported, unacceptable. Great job Gary. Bump and Bob, are embarrassed for you.

    "What about now?"

    I am a huge fan of the works of Hawkeye Nation's old friend Scott Hawk, and the touching, inspiring videos that he created for us all. In these troubling, question filled days for Hawkeye football, I would love to see what he could do with the song "What about now" by Daughtry.

    Rip Iowa Football

    Yes, it certainly has been in decline. But , I can't remember an Iowa team so devoid of physical talent since before Hayden resurrected the program.
