Just when those ESPN thugs thought they could take copyrighted material off the net, the boys at College Humor come through big.  This is the clip that was in the below post of the ESPNU announcer flushing his career as a broadcaster down the crapper in one sentence.  Thanks to The Other Drew Tate for […]

Happy Monday from the Hawkize crew.  For those of you that didn’t see this weeks game on ESPNU, you missed this broadcast booth gem from commentator Brian Kinchen.  (Wince) Ex-nay on the gay-say.  Yea, I know what you’re all thinking….he’ll be sacking groceries by Wednesday.
There was also a football game on Saturday, and it was good.  Frustrating […]

Pat Harty of the Press-Citizen wrote an article this week about Jordan Bernstine, a highly touted recruit from Des Moines Lincoln.  I’ll be the first to admit that I hadn’t paid much attention to him, for a couple of reasons.
First, the name ‘Jordan Bernstine’ sounds like a scrawny white kid from a suburb like Clive.  […]

It’s the second annual Blackout game at Kinnick game this week, and Hawkize has an idea for getting the team involved with the event.  We’re proposing that for Blackout games only, we ditch the gold pants and go with black ones.  That gives us a straight black uniform to go with the Blackout theme.  Here’s […]

For those of you that have not heard - make sure you are sitting down - Drew Tate is out this week against Northern Illinois.  Drew hurt his left hand (his non-throwing hand) against Michigan last week in a fall and the knock required surgery.  According to Ferentz, Drew is not playing due to fear of getting an infection in […]

This is normally Zound’s duty, but since he’s out of town getting drunk for free on a business trip, it’s all me this week.
Everyone can agree that we lost a tough one last week. Ferentz even said that “it feels like the roof caved in”. It did, at least in terms of our […]

If you have been keeping up with the world outside of sports (yes, I know it’s hard) you know that YouTube has been in the news.  Just this week they were bought by Google.  As YouTube gets more and more mainstream, questions about whether it can last as it is have become more prevalent.  The […]

…when you lose to Indiana.
Zound and I went on quite a drinking binge starting with the breakdowns in the first half and concluding sometime around 3 am.  Let’s hope this doesn’t happen again.

IOWA CITY, IA — The Iowa Hawkeyes announced today that senior safety Devan Moylan, who suffered what was believed to be a season ending hamstring injury against Illinois, has amputated his own leg and will start Saturday at Indiana. The Hawkeye secondary has been devastated by injuries this season, and the return of Moylan […]

As much as I love to make fun of Iowa State, I try not to, too regularly… maybe once out of every ten to fifteen breaths, but anyway…
Earlier this week, I had a call from a branch in Ames with a personal banker explaining an issue that usually has fairly quick fix, but… while I […]

One week after TOSU, the Hawks will be put to the test again by the Purdue Boilermakers.  Both teams are 4-1 and are coming off losses (Purdue lost to Notre Dame in South Bend last week) so this is a big game for both teams.
Why Purdue is dangerous:
Purdue knows how to do offense.  They always […]

We started celebrating before the game started, and I ended up dumping a cooler full of ice on Andyram’s head. Guess we got a little ahead of ourselves.
Watch it here.

And that is why they are called THE Ohio State University. On Saturday night the Buckeyes showed the country, yet again, why they are the consensus number one team in the country. The Bucks straight up beat the Hawkeyes in every phase of the game. But I’m not taking a knock against […]

Go listen to this if you know what’s good for you.  You won’t regret it.
