Chris Kingsbury and You
Think of all the great Hawkeyes who we have been blessed to watch as Iowa fans… Bob Sanders, Chuck Long, Dallas Clark, Robert Gallery, Matt Roth, Abdul Hodge, Chad Greenway, Fred Russell, Dean Oliver, Jeff Horner, Greg Brunner, the list goes on and on…
Who tops the list out of all these greats?
Chris “Motherfucking” Kingsbury.
This man […]
Know Thy Coach (Part 2): Todd Lickliter is Better than You
I was thinking to myself the other day how much better off we are with Todd Lickliter as our head basketball coach. Then I received a YouTube video about animals that are better than you. So I decided to put together a little article about several of the ways Todd Lickliter is better […]
Know Thy Coach (Part 1): Pronunciation
In case you’ve been in a coma for the last two days, we hired a new head basketball coach. To help fans ramp up their knowledge about Coach Lickliter, Hawkize is introducing a short series of posts called ‘Know Thy Coach’. These posts will include pieces of information that we feel are important […]
Praise the Lord
Much like Bugs Bunny, Steve Alford knew he should take that left turn at Albuquerque.
After two weeks of rumor and speculation, Adam Haluska has confirmed the obvious. Steve Alford is leaving the University of Iowa to become the new head coach at the University of New Mexico.
I’ve mostly kept my thoughts about Alford to […]
You can lead a horse to water…
If you didn’t hear, ISU athletics has announced that they plan to revamp their athletic facilities with multi-million dollar facelifts to the Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum areas. The renovation will cost millions of dollars and won’t be completed until 2010- something Hawkize.com sees fitting, as this is the same year that Troy […]
Good Riddance
As expected, Alex Thompson transferred to Iowa State. That’s good news for Hawk fans because it opens a spot for someone who is actually good to play.
It also means that we get to play against Alex Thompson in the future, which is a good thing considering that he turned the ball over […]
Alford accepts offer, leaving Iowa
Reported by ESPN.
COACHING SEARCH OVER!
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
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
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
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
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- […]
This is our senior day, too.
It’s the eve of the biggest basketball game in the past 20 years for Iowa. Tomorrow’s game at Illinois will probably determine whether Iowa is going to share the Big 10 title, something that they haven’t had alone since the Carter administration. The air should be buzzing with positive vibes, people should be […]
Happy President’s Day from Hawkize
We know- we’re a day late on the wishes, but Andyram was drunker than snot last night and only was able to send me this via instant messanger:
Andyram: dud e we shol do pres. day hawkizes
So, that’s what I gathered- he wanted to wish you all a wonderful President’s Day on behalf of all […]
Our Plan for Replacing Steve Alford
This whole Indiana thing is getting out of control. I can’t find any sports outlet not wanting to talk about Mike Davis/Steve Alford and Indiana. So we here at Hawkize, as experts on the Iowa side of the story, will give you our little spin.
Not more than 8-10 months ago there was a […]
