    Howe: Five Ways to Pass the Time without Hawkeye Football this Fall

    Hey Rob, I too read "The Great Gamble" - excellent work by Bluder. The characters and many twists and turns in the story helped to keep me interested through out.the entire book. Although not as intense as Grisham's writings, Bluder's work reminded me of Grisham's style and attention to...

    Deep Financial Trouble?

    I'm not going to get into a political discussion, Huck, but get your facts right. Obama wasn't even alive during the "greatest depression in our history". That, sir, was back in the 30's.and was only brought under control by the great demands and production of WWII. The Obama era...

    Iowa Football Parents Asking for Transparency from Big Ten

    One of the talking heads on sports radio today - I believe ESPNu - reported that the BIG X has 10 football players who have myocarditis resulting from COVID19. This may well have played an important role in the BIG cancelling the football season.

    Iowa Football Parents Asking for Transparency from Big Ten

    KUDOS to the Hawkeye parents taking the initiative on this. Lack of transparency is a killer & leads to an uncontrollable rumor mill. I'm striving to remain objective on this but lack of specific answers to the questions posed by the parents is frustrating. It is way too early to judge Kevin...

    Do you like Notre Dame?

    Right on, Phoenix!!!!! I've despised ND ever since they cheated not once but twice in the same game to pull out a tie with the Hawks. I was a small boy & listened to that game on WHO. I cried at the end of the game because even as a young kid I could figure out how the Hawks got robbed from a...

    '18 Athletic Department Study Showed Serious Racial Bias in Iowa Football

    Kicker, I think this is worse for Barta. He's the guy who constantly preaches, "Win, graduate, do it right". How could he possibly be oblivious to the horrendous transfer rate of black athletes and the equally bad graduation rate of black athletes. His 3 legged stool of win, graduate, do it...

    Looking at Iowa Football Player Representation, Retention Since '09

    Hey BlackNGold, your comment to Rob about his "constant negativity" reminds me of a quip from Harry Truman who was sometimes called "Give em Hell Harry". A reporter once asked Harry a question along the lines of "why do you give you opponents Hell all of the time?" to which Harry replied, "I...

    Looking at Iowa Football Player Representation, Retention Since '09

    I agree with much of what you say, BlackNGold. The national sports press is killing the Hawks right now.. The Washed Up Walkons pod cast which featured Jordan Lomax and James Daniels included discussion which hi-lited the racial disparity in selection of captains and in selection of...

    HN Hawkeye History Podcast: Aaron Kampman

    Rob, KUDOS on your superb work doing these recent podcasts. I only started following these since the beginning of the COVID lockdown. Every one of them has been superb. Both informative and entertaining. The podcasts with former players are especially interesting - just to track each...

    If you haven’t seen the excerpt...

    There is an important name being left out of the discussion regarding who will call the shots in replacing KF whenever he steps aside. Bruce Harreld is no shrinking violet. I would be astounded if he stands by and allows a mediocre hire to take place. I'm certain he will maintain a proper...

    Kirk was out-coached by Harbaugh

    Bingo, hwk23. The Brown vs. BF matchup decided the game. It was a total mismatch between these two coaches - all in favor of Brown.

    Time for this Coaching Staff and Team to Put Up or Shut Up

    The boss's son was thoroughly outcoached by the wise old owl on the other sideline. Hawks were ill prepared for the bright lights of the big stage,.Polasek and BF should back up to the paymaster next payday.

    Tyler Cook Denver Pre-Draft Workout Interview

    Rob, I struggled to understand the audio. What does his response to questions indicate to you as to will he or won't he be back to Hawks? The limited amount of audio I could understand causes me to believe he will be back to improve his shooting from 18 feet to 3 point line. Perhaps I did not...

    A New Level of Embarrassment

    Hayden shouldn't be shaking his head too much on this deal. Hawks were annihilated in Hayden's last trip to Gopherland. I remember listening to it on the radio. Score was something like 55 to 17 - don't remember exact numbers but it was a complete beatdown. I believe that was the year...

    Why do you hate Norte Dame?

    army vet, the game you described is the exact reason I despise ND. I was about 13 years old at that time & listened to every Hawk game on the radio. Hawks got jobbed in an unbelievable, shameless fashion. I could never reconcile how the good religious leaders of ND allowed that to happen. I...
