Game week finally has arrived for Iowa football fans and that also means another Hawk Fanatic radio show and podcast featuring Don Patterson.

Don made his usual in-season appearance on Monday and addressed multiple topics, including, of course, this coming Saturday's season opener against Illinois State at Kinnick Stadium.

He also shares his thoughts on Kirk Ferentz's one-game suspension and thinks the team will rally behind their head coach.

Don also shares some stories about Illinois State head coach Brock Spack, who was heavily recruited by Iowa in the early years under Hayden Fry.
