Last year the Hawkeyes got off to a good start and carried it thru to the end.

2021 class and 7 verbals in January. Let's do a comparison.
Hawkeyes - 7
Illini - 1
Hoosiers - 0
Cyclones - 0
Wolverines - 2
Spartans - 0
Gophers - 0
Bugeaters - 4
Wildcats - 0
Buckeyes - 9
Nittany Lions - 3
Boilermakers - 2
Scarlet Knights - 0
Badgers - 8
Terrapins - 5

Since splitting into divisions the Badgers have dominated their division and the Buckeyes have dominated theirs.
So what does it say we are right there with them, and ahead of everyone else? It says our brand is 3rd best in the big ten. 2nd year in a row we get off to a white-hot start. Indiana, coming off one of their best years just sent us a 40-game starter from their offensive line. That says something. It says kids look at Iowa and see us moving from competing for division titles to conference titles and GASP, playoff spots !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, literally no one has ever called you Mr. Hype.

You can't give yourself a nickname. It doesn't work that way.
