VANISHED!

Posted by Mikehawk on March 30th, 2006

AMES DESTROYED, CITY VANISHES OFF MAP
AMES, IOWA - Gone.
Vanished.
In the span of 30 minutes Thursday evening, the entire city of Ames, Iowa, home of Iowa State University, was wiped out by a catastrophic storm that reached epic proportions near it’s pinnacle.
Winds blew nearly 200 miles per hour as an F-33 tornado beared down upon the […]

Out with the old…in with the older?

Posted by Mikehawk on March 29th, 2006

As you may have heard by now, head Iowa wrestling coach Jim Zalesky’s contract will not be renewed at the end of the year. In his nine year tenure at Iowa, he won three national titles and finished in the Top 10 in the NCAA every year. As much as it hurts to […]

Hawks ranked 13th pre-season

Posted by Mikehawk on March 24th, 2006

Iowa was ranked #13 in CBSSportsline.com’s pre-season football rankings. Judging by the rankings, it’s going to be really fun to beat the SHIT out of the #1 team in the nation in Kinnick.
On Iowa. Go Hawks!

COACHING SEARCH OVER!

Posted by Mikehawk on March 22nd, 2006

Oh, wait, he’s been our coach all along? Why, by watching ESPN, you’d have thought that he was gone a month ago. Too bad for the naysayers, Coach Alford is staying.

What a Mess

Posted by Colestal on March 18th, 2006

Now that the effects of a night of heavy drinking are wearing off and reality is starting to set in, I need to find something to cheer myself and other Hawk fans up. As always, we can look no further than those misfits at Iowa State. As you probably know by now, the […]

Hawkize NCAA Tournament Picks

Posted by Colestal on March 15th, 2006

The crew at Hawkize has heard a wide variety of opinions on the tournament over the past few days. The “experts” aren’t giving us much of a chance, so we muted them and decided to come up with our own picks to set the record straight.

It’s Ron Mexico’s dirrty south–we’re just playing in […]

Jeff Horner Will Never Be Forgotten

Posted by Colestal on March 12th, 2006

I’ve been quiet for a long time, but no more. I wanted to give the basketball team a chance to prove their worth without me (publicly) saying so because I’m superstitious and I didn’t want to jinx them. In particular, I would like to make a few comments about Jeff Horner, a man […]

CHAMPIONS

Posted by Mikehawk on March 12th, 2006

Ahem.
First off, I’d like to issue a collective “FUCK YOU!” to all the assholes who doubted this team, this coach, and this institution throughout the year. I believe that I posted before the Michigan State game that this team had a mission.
Mission accomplished, men.
The Iowa Hawkeyes are the Big Ten Tournament CHAMPIONS. No one- […]

Jack Trice: What Might Have Been

Posted by Andyram on March 08th, 2006

The setting is October 4th, 1923: Iowa State’s football team is getting ready to load the bus for a trip to Minneapolis for their football game. The bus breaks down due to poor maintenance. Iowa State never makes it to the game and Jack Trice never dies.
CollegeAfter about a year and a month of majoring […]

It’s back again: The Hawkize.com All Big 10 teams- this time, basketball style.
This list was voted on by myself. If you don’t like it, I don’t care.
First Team:
Jeff Horner, Iowa: Jeff is hands down the best point guard in the conference. He’s able to light it up from downtown from time to time, […]

I’m going to miss these guys.

Posted by Mikehawk on March 03rd, 2006

I’m back, and I apologize.
It’s been awhile since my last post- almost a week since I posted anything of substinance, but I’m back. I had a few people ask me if my fingers were broken, or what the deal was lately, and I only have one excuse.
I completely don’t remember the last five days. […]
