I like that thought.... And I think that is why being a Hawkeye fan is so special. Tradition, Legacy, passing it on to the next generation. Wether your talking about basketball legends, an historic wrestling program or a strong or a football fan base that is up there with the best of them... I can say I am proud to be a hawk! It's makes wading through the down seasons more than worth it, knowing you can depend on Your program, the Hawks, to do right by you.

The Ducks were nothing more than a fad, they cranked out some great teams, but have since fizzled out, pretty much like "tickle me Elmo", or the Wisconsin Badgers (maybe they're one in the same, who knows, Go Hawks.....
Yep, but 10 year olds are very impressionable. I remember as a kid I got locked in as a Hawkeye fan during the Final Four run and Hayden Fry.

When I was 10 it was the 1986-87 Hawks. That team (along with BJ, Roy & Ed) are really what made me a huge Hawk fan, and the rest is history.
This season is just what's needed to bring in future Hawk fans - Young Hawk fans (or fans to be) haven't seen a season like this. Most probably just remember Alford & Lick.
I was 10 too. We had 2 tvs in the house. Our living room one and a 13" black and white in my parents bedroom. That's where I watched the games. A far cry from HD.

I must be a little older than you because I thought Steve Carfino had the best name.

My kids wanted me and their mom to move to Texas so they could play baseball every day ( because Texas was always in the College World Series back then), damn kids, but I quickly reminded them Iowa is the only state that plays summer baseball, and that the Iowa Hawkeyes were the only team that mattered in this state, and they were fine with that, and shortly after that it was xbox, and now they're both out of the house, so time flies by, enjoy it w/your kids and always make sure they wear Hawkeye crap everywhere they may go, b/c someone out there will spot you and you've just made a new friend....
