Hawkeye Recap 03-03-24: Bob Stoops Book Review and Recent Death of Kenny Ploen

Listen Later

For this week's podcast, Brion features former Iowa player and Oklahoma legendary head coach, Bob Stoops. He also reviews Stoops' book "No Excuses: The Making of a Head Coach" that was published in 2019.


Earlier this month, we lost another Hawkeye legend, Kenny Ploen, who died at the age of 88. He was the QB for Iowa during the 1956 season, leading them to the Big Ten title and first Rose Bowl appearance in school history.
