Swelling with Iowa Hawkeye pride since 2007
Wow writing the postgame was stressful. I haven’t done that in years. It’s a rush trying to re-write a story after all of the negativity, trying to erase the references to Iowa blowing a game where they handed the opponent at least 14 points, and maybe 21 points. I had it all laid out, ready […]

My turn to take a swing at a post game. Boy I wish I hadn’t volunteered. Iowa mostly outplayed Penn State over 60 minutes and, despite some truly insane twists and turns, Iowa emerged a 25-24 winner after a late Kaden Wetjen touchdown plus a stop gave Iowa the win. Iowa improved to 5-2 and […]

After a week off and a week on the road, the Hawkeyes return home to Kinnick Stadium Saturday night to host a now unranked Penn State squad that is at a cross roads. The Nittany Lions started the season ranked inside the top-5 nationally with a potential Heisman candidate at QB and a head coach […]

After last weekend it’s still hard to believe Penn State actually pulled the ripcord on James Franklin and I’m frankly (get it) stunned Wisconsin hasn’t done the same to Luke Fickell. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such a precipitous fall than the one that just took place in Happy Valley. A preseason #2 […]

The Hawkeyes dominated the Badgers in Wisconsin a week ago. Now it’s time to return home to Kinnick to take on the #2 Penn State Nittany Lions. **Wait, I’ve just received some important information. I’m now being told that Penn State is NOT #2. They’re now…. is this right? They are unranked and winless in […]

James Franklin fought valiantly, James Franklin fought nobly, James Franklin fought honorably, and James Franklin died. I’m halfway through the third season of Game of Thrones on my 5th or 6th rewatch, and as such my obsession with its lore has grown in tandem with my mandatory interest in College Football. As a result, I’ve […]

I have to say, this has been a weird season so far. I mean, Indiana, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss are in the top 5, Georgia Tech, BYU, Vandy, Virginia and South Florida are in the top 20 and 2 of the preseason top 5 didn’t receive a solitary vote in week 8, including Iowa’s […]
