Iowa Football Depth Chart: Week 6 vs Washington
The University of Iowa Athletics Department has officially released its Week 6 depth chart as the Hawkeyes prepare for their three-game gauntlet to open Big Ten play this season. Both Zach Lutmer (FS) and Deshaun Lee (RC) left Saturday’s game with injuries and did not return yet still appear on this week’s depth chart. During […]
Wound Up & Rewind: Self-Inflicted Wounds Doom Iowa Against Ohio State
It’s Monday morning and I am still wound up tighter than a drum. “Put it into perspective, this game was against THE Ohio State”, some will say. “This game does not define Iowa’s season.” Yes, that would be a reasonable, rational response. The problem is that I am not feeling reasonable and rational at the […]
The Morning After the Morning After: Overwhelmed
The start to the day Saturday was fantastic. Great weather. Great GameDay experience for all involved. The fans were ready. They believed. Iowa City was buzzing Friday and Saturday in anticipation of this game. But I went into all of this with such low expectations. It’s Ohio State, after all. I’ll probably say that a […]
Hawkeye Football: Instant Reaction Iowa Overmatched by Ohio State 31-14
The Hawks put themselves in an early hole, with Brown fumbling on their first series and OSU recovering at their 14-yard line. In the blink of an eye Ohio State was up 7 – 0 and it never felt good from there on out. Iowa did pass on multiple first downs and attempted 32 pass […]
Iowa Hawkeyes vs Ohio State Buckeyes Fan Discussion
It’s game time, Hawkeye fans! The biggest home game in years is here. Your #14 Iowa Hawkeyes, fresh off the walk-off stunner in Ann Arbor, welcome the #5 Ohio State Buckeyes to Kinnick Stadium with College GameDay in town for the first time in 20 years and the entire country tuned in. Win or lose, […]
Win or Lose to Ohio State, Iowa’s Playoff Path is Alive
A week ago, your Iowa Hawkeyes were a plucky 3-0 team staring down the barrel of the hardest three-game stretch of their season and perhaps of anyone in the country. They were underdogs on the road in the Big House and the prospect of starting the conference slate 0-3 looked real. Then Hank Brown hit […]
How to Watch the Iowa Hawkeyes vs Ohio State Buckeyes
Good morning Hawkeye fans! After an exhilarating road win to kick off their Big Ten conference slate, your Iowa Hawkeyes are back home in Iowa City with all the pomp and circumstance that today’s matchup warrants. The #14 Hawks (not to be confused with the Atlanta Hawks) are playing host to the #5 Ohio State […]
The Pants Predicts: Iowa vs Ohio State
The Hawkeyes passed a major test a week ago when they went into Ann Arbor and walked out with a walk off win. But there’s no rest for the weary as Iowa returns home to face an even bigger test this week with the #5 Ohio State Buckeyes in town. OSU is a virtual juggernaut […]
Iowa Hawkeyes Football: Ohio State Buckeyes Game Preview
This Saturday, ESPN Gameday comes to Iowa City for the first time in 20 years as the Iowa Hawkeyes take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. This matchup will be, without question, the toughest game the Hawkeyes will play all season. No other game in the regular season will come close. Last weekend, Iowa overcame the […]
2026 College Football Watch Guide – Week 5
I still haven’t come down from the high of Iowa’s walk off touchdown win against the Wolverines last week. So this week I’m going to have a little fun with the Watch Guide intro. We’re going to rank the retro logos of all 18 Big Ten teams. Purely unscientific, purely subjective, purely for fun. Let’s […]
Hawks in the NFL: Week 3
We’re through Week 3 in the NFL. San Francisco is cooking. Green Bay is, um, not. Riley Moss continues to be at the center of the story every single freaking week in Denver and it’s exhausting. Noah Fant’s having a great start. Let’s take a look back at Week 3. Noah Fant Let’s start with […]
Caitlin Clark refused to lose
“The f—k you think this was” shouted an amped up Caitlin Clark after hitting a 4th quarter dagger 3, contested from well behind the arch by presumed MVP A’ja Wilson. Our beloved Hawkeye legend and her Indiana Fever faced playoff elimination Tuesday night having lost game 1 on Sunday (WNBA round one playoff series are […]
By The Numbers: Iowa vs. Ohio State
This time last week I was trying to find any reason I could to pick Iowa to beat Michigan at the Big House and I just didn’t think they could do it. Michigan’s defense is elite, their offense is better than average, and I just didn’t think that Hank “Ice in his veins” Brown could […]
Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 4
The first full week of Big Ten play is in the books. UCLA is coming up out of nowhere. Mike Locksley still has a job and will fix things. Our Iowa Hawkeyes talking…playoffs? 1. #6 Indiana (4-0, 1-0) Holding on at the top, but only just. Yeah, they got some big chunk plays on Northwestern’s […]
KIRK SPEAKS: Ohio State
I don’t know about y’all, but I am still absolutely BUZZING from last weekend’s victory at Michigan. It’s just so rare to win a game in that fashion, let alone as the Iowa Hawkeyes, let alone against a team that was gifted a win on a last second pass a few weeks prior. Sometimes life […]
Iowa Football Depth Chart: Week 5 vs Ohio State
The University of Iowa Athletics Department has officially released its Week 5 depth chart as the Hawkeyes prepare for back-to-back marquee matchups, this time as the Ohio State Buckeyes invade Iowa City. Part of the news for Hawkeye fans is that Iowa appears to have escaped Ann Arbor without serious injuries, so the depth chart […]
Iowa, Ohio State Each Look for Redemption in GameDay Showdown
Entering last weekend, things felt somewhat ominous for the Iowa Hawkeyes. While they were fresh off a dominant performance against the Northern Iowa Panthers in their non-conference finale, they were staring at an absolute gauntlet of a schedule: at Michigan, return home to face Ohio State and then hit the road to travel two time […]
Wound Up & Rewind: Hawkeyes Stun Michigan 20-19
Perhaps the title for this Iowa vs. Michigan matchup should have been “First One to Twenty Wins!” It proved to be a classic Big Ten defensive chess match laced with clutch offensive plays. The Hawkeyes defense found a way to bend like a tree in a hurricane, staying just close enough to close the deal. […]
The Morning After: Karma
Look – the Football Gods called for…something, after Michigan stole a game from Western Michigan in Week 1. Everyone that isn’t a Michigan fan acknowledged they should not have won that game. They stole from the footballing world with that result. The injured the Footballing Gods that night. They should have entered Saturday’s tilt with […]
Hawkeye Football: Instant Reaction Iowa Shocks Michigan 20-19 on Late TD
Karma is a wonderful thing, and it’s something I believe in. It has no set timing for when it will emerge. But eventually, you reap what you sow. And what goes around, comes around. On this day, karma’s timing was perfect, as was its delivery. The pregame narrative from the talking heads was whether Bryce […]
Iowa Hawkeyes at Michigan Wolverines Fan Discussion
It’s game time, Hawkeye fans! The Big Ten opener is here and your #17 Iowa Hawkeyes are on the road for the first time this season. Naturally, they open up their road slate in the biggest stadium in the country against #18 Michigan. Beyond the difficulties of today’s game, this also opens the most daunting […]
Why Iowa Will, and Will Not, Win at Michigan
After three weeks of tune-ups and one legitimate scare, the training wheels come all the way off for the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday afternoon in Ann Arbor. The #17 Hawkeyes and #18 Wolverines are mirror images on paper. Both are 3-0. Both are built on defense. Both have exactly one win over a real opponent […]
How to Watch the Iowa Hawkeyes at Michigan Wolverines
It is game day, Hawkeye fans! The training wheels come off today. Your #17 Iowa Hawkeyes open Big Ten play with their first road trip of the season. As if that wasn’t difficult enough, it’s the front end of as daunting a three-game stretch as any team in the country will face this year: at […]
Hawkeye Football: Updated Game Line, Weather Forecast for Iowa vs. Michigan
It’s the big one, folks. Don’t get scared now. The good thing is, if you’re traveling to Ann Arbor for this game, the weather looks majestic. Saturday’s forecast calls for sunny skies throughout the day with a high of 71. Yes, it’s perfect. While we’d of course prefer a home game here, a home game […]
Caitlin Clark Has Made Her Case For MVP
If you’ve followed Caitlin Clark’s career since she graduated Iowa, you’ve been on quite the ride. After a promising and historically great rookie season, Caitlin struggled with injuries in year 2 and we all had to wait to see what she would become with a full year of professional experience to build on. It still […]
