    Conference Call w/ Barta

    Although I understand the sentiment about some of the quality of the calls, I must admit for THAT fan, the railings etc. were a big deal...keeping in mind that I would think others would have similar views. For me, railings are not that big of a deal...I was more interested in the number of...

    jst ran into tyler sash

    Rick Stanzi was at Chik-Fil-A at the Mall on Friday night ordering in front of us. As he was leaving, I smiled at him he nodded so I said congrats on the draft and wished him the best at KC. He grinned and said thanks he appreciated it. Had a chance to chat with his Dad at the Orange Bowl a...

    Drug House Charge against DJK has been dropped.

    We had a similar conversation with our two kids as well. He made bad choices, apparently hung out with some people who made bad choices and don't do drugs. Not sure how much sinks in, but we were able to turn the discussion towards the numerous athletes on the team who were making positive...

    Hawkeye Home Office

    VERY COOL! You mentioned office...for my Christmas present my wife purchased an Iowa Hawkeye wireless computer keyboard. Not sure if I can post the company name but, a google search of Iowa Hawkeye Wireless Keyboard should find it. Go Hawks! - hawkeyetob

    Miller: Hawkeyes Find Their Way

    Great read! There were a number of times as we watched last night, you could see the emotion in Kirk's face...this clearly did not wipe away any of the season's disappointment, but it did reassure us we know we are heading back in the right direction! Three bowl wins in a row too! The team...

    Expected Bowl Package Cost Ranges?

    Yes, I realize there are a number of fans who don't feel we deserve a bowl etc. and there are plenty of posts to express those frustrations. That being said, I would appreciate some input for realistic package price expectations. I realize we will not know which bowl until Sunday but it seems...

    My primary concern about the Hawks heading into the last game

    Interesting post and very thoughtful...I'll add my 2 cents. Does the game on Saturday concern me...yep! However, KF has consistently coached the team with the philosophies of "Next man in" and after a game win or lose, you flush it and move on to prepare for the next game...trying to fix...

    What I Saw: On the Field for Senior Day

    Nice article! Surprised you did not include your thoughts on the flyover...which was awesome! My wife and I always look forward to Senior Day knowing it will be an emotional one. Having Gable as Honorary Captain was really moving. At half time, he clearly felt the impact of the moment. As...

    What makes Iowa football so special?

    Excellent read! My first game was when I was five...I am 42 now. My family had season tickets when the Hawks were not very good. I distinctly remember my parents say, it will turn around. Now, my wife and kids are diehards with season tickets. I find myself remembering what these Saturdays...

    OT-Power of Advertising on the B-10 Network.

    Last season, tried Ro-Tel and velveeta for the first time...it was good! This season, tried Wolf Brand Chili for the first time...it was good! For us, when we cannot be at the game, it is fun to try something new for game day. FWIW, never been to a Buffalo Wild Wings before, but for some...

    Will miss my first home game since 2004

    As a Dad to two young trick or treaters AND a long time season ticket holder, I certainly can empathize. My family also will not be at the game. However, we will be cheering our hearts out as usual! Love my family, love the Hawkeyes! BTW My son is going as an Iowa Hawkeye football...again...

    KF needs a long look in the mirror

    Interesting thread...somehow turns into jabs at Jon!?! Bummed about Saturday...of course! Special teams play was crucial and we came up lacking. Time management handled perfectly...of course not! No reason to take potshots at Jon though. Last I checked, it is HIS board and he can run it how he...
