From a GQ article on Jason Isbell: On Twitter, there is a running joke among sportswriters—not usually the most persuadable group—that Isbell has replaced Bruce Springsteen in their very limited pantheon. “Nobody had gone after them before,” Isbell said, grinning, when I asked if he'd noticed...

I watched the game on closed-circuit TV at the UI Rec Center, too. The game was not live on broadcast or cable. A few things I remember: Talking to fans on the way in, no one thought the Hawks had a chance. IIRC, they had one of the Iowa radio broadcasts on along with the video, but the...

Yeah - when Iowa played the Scarlet Knights in 2016, the mighty Hawks dominated lowly Rutgers 14-7. Lucky for Iowa that Janarion Grant got hurt, or the Hawks would have come up short in that one. I went to that game and the Scarlet Knight fans were great. Happy to be in the B1G and hoping...

Has anyone purchased tix thru the PSU ticket office? Iowa away game order deadline is 6/15 and our group won't have a headcount until later in the summer. Is it hard to get them from Penn State? We're likely looking for 6-8 tix together. If anyone has any experience with getting tickets for...

To go back even further - how did Nebraska become a powerhouse before their demise? Two things: The Minnesota Vikings arrival and Evy's retirement. The Gophers were a powerhouse from the 30's until 1960 - then the Vikings arrived in the Twin-Cities and began getting all the attention. And...

If $ is not a big consideration, stay in Manhattan. There is a Northeast Corridor train from Penn Station to New Brunswick (Rutgers) that runs often, and there is a free shuttle to the stadium from the NB train station. Re: sight-seeing: There are a number of "hop on - hop off" bus tours...

I've been to Happy Valley 3 times - 2002, 2009 and 2011. The first two trips were a lot better than the third ;) We were unable to find reasonably priced rooms in State College, so we stayed near Lewisburg two times and near Altoona the other. Both were easy drives in and out to PSU. One...

I am going to be in Columbia for the Roots, Blues and BBQ Fest the end of September. Any suggestions where to watch the Iowa-Purdue game? Thanks!

I'm with Guffus. Not having the 7th home game every few years should not be that big of a deal. Would some potential opponents agree to a "home/home" series with their "home" game at a nearby metro area? Colorado at Mile High in Denver? KU or KSU in KC? Mizzou in St Louis? A state of Texas...

I dunno -if Minny is still in the hunt it could be a tough ticket. Last year the game sold out. Any guess on demand for the Maryland game? Will it be hard to get tickets later? Any input from DC area Hawk fans would be appreciated. Thanks.

With an experienced QB, the new divisions and favorable schedules, Iowa should have a good chance for 8-9 wins (or more) each of the next two seasons. That is why it is extremely important to get bowl eligible this year and get the extra practices. Getting that 6th win this year looks tough...

What Jon said makes perfect sense. Then again, other things I thought made sense were: Playing Banks ahead of McCann in 2001. After winning a BT title without a running game in 2004, putting DT in the gun full-time and watching the second coming of Drew Brees. But the Hawks went .500 the...

I agree with Chuck Long - 6-6 would be a great year. That would get the Hawks into a bowl where they'd get the extra practices and go into 2014 looking good - new division, favorable schedule and an experienced QB. Getting to 6-6 will be very tough. My best guess: Go 3-1 in non-con, beat...

Long once completed 22 straight passes to set an NCAA record. If those same 22 balls were thrown to any of Iowa's receiving corps of the last few years, he'd have been 16-22.

I think Iowa should get away from the idea of 7 home games every year. MAC teams will go 2 for 1 no prob, with their home game at a neutral site, like Northern Illinois at Soldier Field. Would Kansas or KSU do a home-home with their home game at Arrowhead? Or Mizzou at Arrowhead or St Louis...

Jon (or anyone else) - do you know when the 2014 and 2015 schedules will be announced?

When will the Big Ten officially announce the new divisions and the 2014 schedule?

November 3, 1962. Iowa over Ohio St 28-14. Video here: 100+ Years of Iowa Football
