The Hawkeye Huddle

A beat down of Minnesota was just what the doctor ordered and has the boy's confident in an exciting November. Plus, here come the winter sports seasons.

Kinnick Stadium was rockin during and after Iowa's come-from-behind win over Penn State. Lots of celebratory talk to be had before the boys turn their attention to Minnesota and the battle for Floyd this upcoming weekend.

The boys have fun going over Iowa's dominating shut out at Wisconsin and talk about how the tables have turned so quickly with Penn State's firing of their head coach and the loss of their starting All American QB. A little bit of hoops news as well following the "not so secret scrimmage" in St. Louis over the weekend.

An important trip to Madison awaits for the Iowa football team and the boys have the injury updates that could make the difference against the Badgers. Also, discussion of a huge commitment for Women's Basketball and the upcoming hoops season.

An agonizing close loss to highly ranked Indiana is the center of conversation, but with a firm eye on the rest of the season.

An encouraging come from behind win at Rutgers has the fellas optimistic about a good showing next Saturday against the suddenly high-powered media darling Indiana Hoosiers. Also updates on the highly rated Soccer and Field Hockey teams.

The football non-conference schedule is over and it ended with some encouragement, although not necessarily outright enthusiasm. The fellas talk over the win over UMass, preview the game with Rutgers, and reminisce about Kirk Ferentz's 206 victories over 27 years. Updates on Soccer, Field Hockey, Volleyball, and both Men's and Women's hoops too.

A bounce in the right direction here or there and this might have been a different show. Instead the boys break down Iowa's three point loss at Iowa State and discuss why the upcoming tilt with a horrible UMASS team is actually very important.

It's Cy/Hawk Week and the boys have a full show (no technical difficulties) getting you ready as they break down the win over UAlbany and push the pause button on QB panic.

Year 22 for the show opens with technical difficulties (shocker). Great conversation about the upcoming football season but certainly not a clean listen. Will be worked out next week. Consider this a primer for the rest of the show season.
