A well-kept secret in Iowa City is the legendary history of the Iowa Hawkeyes field hockey team, the winningest program in Big Ten history.

Combine their sustained dominance with an […]
2026 College Football Watch Guide – Week 7
After a dominant Hawkeye victory it’s great to have a stress free Saturday. So good, in fact, that we’ll just have to do it again this weekend. It’s Iowa’s bye week and I don’t have a whole lot to say for this week’s intro other than we’ve got some great games ahead of us to […]

I can feel it in the air: the leaves are starting to change color and fall from my trees, it’s getting dark sooner, the sweaters are getting busted out from under the bed. This can only mean one thing: BASKETBALL SEASON IS ALMOST HERE! After a very fun regular season and a bit of a […]

Mapping Iowa’s Path to the College Football Playoff

How to Watch the Iowa Hawkeyes at Washington Huskies + Fan Discussion
Happy Friday Hawkeye fans and welcome to the weekend! It’s a short turnaround for the Hawkeyes as they look to bounce back from last week’s 31-14 loss at the hands of #5 Ohio State. Iowa not only lost the game, but they lost their starting QB in that one as Hank Brown exited early with […]
Can Jeremy Hecklinski Jumpstart Iowa’s Offense?
It’s been a tale of two seasons for Iowa’s offense to start the 2026 slate. When the season kicked off, there was some trepidation about what exactly we would get with Hank Brown running the show. He was splitting time with Jeremy Hecklinski as the starting job was still up for grabs, but it seemed […]

Get ready for some sailgating, Hawk fans, as we’re headed to the Pacific Northwest this weekend!

By The Numbers: Iowa vs. Washington
Iowa doesn’t beat Ohio State very often, and they didn’t last Saturday. The defense played well, but the offense left them in the unenviable position of spending 16 extra minutes of playing time on the field and that took a toll. The offense has to get better or this season could go off the rails […]
Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 5

Can the Hawkeyes Bounce Back on Short Week in Washington?
While there was certainly plenty of optimism around Iowa City last weekend with all the festivities and fresh off a thrilling win in Ann Arbor, things came crashing down on the Hawkeyes in a big way Saturday.

KIRK SPEAKS: Washington
Well folks, Saturday was not a super fun game by any stretch of the imagination, was it? The Iowa Hawkeyes got beat in almost every facet of the game by Ohio State. However, this is also true of every other opponent Ohio State has played this year except Texas, so it’s not necessarily the end […]
