IOWA HAWKEYES RUMORS & GOSSIP
Is There Hawktimism for 2013?
The Iowa Hawkeyes had a football practice in West Des Moines this past Sunday and over 8,000 fans showed up. The sun was not shining and the skies were threatening rain in the hours leading up to the practice and it was raining before it was over.

Andre Dawson Latest Victim of AIRBHG as Running Back Leaves Iowa Hawkeyes Program

After a 4-8 campaign in 2012, the Iowa Hawkeyes are searching for answers this spring to find more success in 2013. One of the biggest areas of concern for Kirk Ferentz and company is the pass rush, or lack there of. If the Hawkeyes hope to have any more success next fall, they will need [...]

Girl gets hit in face with bat at Iowa tailgate
Just a few observations of a University of Iowa bro, his diet Zima and his wiffleball bat: 1. Nice sunglasses band, man. You’re tailgating. You aren’t at a Wham! concert. And even if you were at a Wham! concert, those people would be making fun of you too. 2. How’d you get the Skittle in the Zima if you were only using the tiny hole at the end of the bat? Your loss...

Is this Iowa’s throwback uniform?
Perhaps this uniform isn’t real. Perhaps it’s just a strange creation from an Iowa fan that found a mannequin, created a throwback using inspiration of rejected Crayola colors, and propped up some Iowa merchandise to make this whole thing look authentic. OR, perhaps this really is the Iowa uniform – or at least something similar [...]
