Hawkeyes Football: Wound Up and Rewind After Iowa Blasts Northern Iowa 55-0
It was hard not to get wound up watching this one. Iowa’s offense rolled over UNI like a tsunami. Iowa got the ball first and immediately broke the dam open on a 75-yard drive that started with a pass play on first down and was peppered with an alternating variety of rushing and passing plays. […]
The Morning (Evening) After: Tune-Up
Generally, I don’t think much is gained from a game like this. It can backfire spectacularly. We see this story multiple times a season across college football and you only have negatives as the favored program. – God forbid, a loss. Injuries. Shaky showings. Bad perception of where you are as a team. Negative everything. […]
44 days till Iowa Hoops: Joey Matteoni
While football season is in full swing, it doesn’t mean we can’t dabble in some basketball prep ahead of the first tip-off on November 3rd! Next up is third year forward, Joey Matteoni! Joey Matteoni enters his third collegiate season after initially committing to Northwest Missouri State and following Ben McCollum to Drake. He’s been […]
Iowa Hawkeyes Football: Instant Reaction to Dominant 55-0 win Over Northern Iowa
Iowa fans hoped the Hawks would use this matchup against UNI as a warmup prior to facing Michigan. Instead, the Hawkeyes came out red hot, blasting the Panthers 55-0 with a relentless balanced attack. The 55 points marked the highest single-game scoring output for Iowa football since November 17, 2018. With starting running back Kamari […]

It is game time, Hawkeye fans! For the third straight week, your Iowa Hawkeyes are set to play host as they close out their non-conference slate with the Northern Iowa Panthers.

45 days till Iowa Hoops: Andrew McKeever
While football season is in full swing, it doesn’t mean we can’t dabble in some basketball prep ahead of the first tip-off on November 3rd! First up in the player previews is transfer big, Andrew McKeever! The Hawkeyes unexpected Elite 8 run ended with a familiar foe in the Illinois Fighting Illini. What was front […]
How to Watch the Iowa Hawkeyes vs Northern Iowa Panthers
It is game day Hawkeye fans! The non-conference schedule comes to a close today for the Iowa Hawkeyes as they play host to the UNI Panthers inside Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes come into the day ranked #18 nationally at 2-0 after they escaped with a 16-13 win over the Iowa State Cyclones a week ago. […]
Hawkeye Football: Updated Game Line, Weather Update for Northern Iowa-Iowa
Welcome back, troops! So far, the Weather Gods have offered up a mixed bag this season. Week 1 saw intense heat. Week 2 was pristine. Week 3? Well, bring rain gear. You may need it in the morning, as rain chances bounce back and forth between 40 and 60 percent. There may, however, be a […]
Iowa Football: Hawkeyes Look to Kickstart Season With UNI Matchup
Through two weeks of this young college football season, we’ve seen quite the roller coaster ride both in Iowa City and across the country. Entering the year, the Big Ten looked like the nation’s preeminent conference. There were a pair of top-5 teams, a trio in the top-10 and a handful of other teams that […]
The Pants Predicts: Iowa vs Northern Iowa
The Hawkeyes are poised to close out their non-conference slate as well as their season-opening three game home stand on Saturday as they play host to the Northern Iowa Panthers. After thoroughly demolishing the Northern Illinois Huskies 40-0 in their opener, the Hawkeyes struggled a bit in week two, edging out the Iowa State Cyclones […]
Iowa Hawkeyes Football: Northern Iowa Panthers Game Preview
On Saturday, the Iowa Hawkeyes will be playing the Northern Iowa Panthers for the nineteenth time in its history. At this point, Iowa is 2-0 on the season, but it feels like we don’t know much more than we did when the season began. We can, however, say a few things with confidence: Unfortunately, this […]
2026 College Football Watch Guide – Week 3
They say misery loves company but I doubt that will make the faithful in Norman, Oklahoma and Eugene, Oregon feel any better about last weekend. The Sooners and the Ducks were the unfortunate victims of 2026’s first big upsets of the year – for games played less than sixty minutes and one second, that is. […]
By The Numbers: Iowa vs. Northern Iowa
The last time UNI came to Iowa City was 8 years ago, but no one is talking about that game (a 38-14 Hawkeye win) this week. No, a visit from the Panthers will only, ever, invoke one memory for most Hawkeye fans, and that memory is from September 5, 2009. Pretty sure most of us […]
Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 2
What a disaster of a week for the Big Ten Conference. Let’s pick our way through the carnage of Week 2. 1. IU (2-0, 0-0) Well, here we are with the defending champs up to #1 again. Yeah, it’s Howard. Yeah, IU should hammer this team. And look at that – they did. They’re good […]
Hawks in the NFL: Week 1
We are back protecting the shield! Let’s dive in. A couple of players found the scoresheet this week. George Kittle is back from his Achilles injury. Tory Taylor barely had to do anything while Chicago nearly dropped 60 on Carolina. The Broncos “played” a game of football Monday. Sam LaPorta, Jack Campbell, and Noah Fant […]
KIRK SPEAKS: UNI
And just like that, it’s Week 3! This week’s opponent, the University of Northern Iowa Panthers, should not be a huge issue for this Iowa Hawkeyes team, no matter how the rest of the season goes. That being said, there are definitely some valid questions to ask about what the rest of the season will […]
Fun With Numbers: Stats to Know From Iowa’s Win Over Iowa State
Iowa’s win over the Iowa State Cyclones certainly was not pretty. The Hawkeyes went into the matchup favored by as many points as any game in the Cy-Hawk series in a decade. However, instead of the thrashing Iowa fans yearned for, we were given yet another slug fest in which we saw both teams trade […]
Iowa Hawkeyes: The Day That Changed the Culture of Iowa Football September 15, 1979
September 15, 1979. It’s widely viewed as the day when the culture of Iowa football had a dramatic shift. But before we dive into what happened on that day, we need to back up a little bit and talk about what happened before that day. Well, more than just a little bit. 19 years to […]
Iowa Football Depth Chart: Kamari Moulton Remains as Starting Running Back Week 3 vs UNI
The University of Iowa Athletics Department has officially released its Week 3 depth chart as the Hawkeyes turn their full attention to this coming Saturday’s in-state game against the 1-1 Northern Iowa Panthers. Following a gritty Cy-Hawk performance against ISU, the coaching staff opted to keep the two-deep stable while they work behind the scenes […]
Hawkeye Football Wound Up and Rewind: The Cy-Hawk Game
This game is never a fun experience, for either side these days. What a slog. Always a field goal game, one way or the other. It’s torture. Who actually likes this game? Put your hands down, you sickos… But hey, Iowa nabbed a 16-13 win in the Cy-Hawk game (note; no one, and I mean […]
Caitlin Clark and Team USA take on France in FIBA World Cup Finals
For a team that has been a heavy favorite in each game it has played, it hasn’t felt like an easy road for team USA during this FIBA World Cup. Yesterday, the team faced off against Spain, which features Hawkeye legend Megan DiLeo (formerly Gustafson) and struggled more than expected. Spain deserves credit for being […]
Hawkeye Football: The Morning After Iowa State vs Iowa
The Cyclones came to Kinnick hoping to spoil Iowa’s massive recruiting weekend, but in a traditional Cy-Hawk fashion, Iowa survived on a game winning field goal and got to hoist the trophy to take it back home to its rightful resting place. I was fuming at the end of this game and didn’t feel a […]
Instant Reaction: Iowa 16, ISU 13
The Iowa Hawkeyes flipped the script on the Cyclones, winning this year’s CyHawk game on a late field goal to pull out a 16-13 win. It was a scrappy, ugly, sometimes dirty game that was pretty much in line to how this series has gone these last ten years. But the Hawkeyes exorcised the demons […]
Iowa Hawkeyes vs Iowa State Cyclones Fan Discussion
It’s game time, baby! The Hawkeyes are back in action and for the second week in a row, Iowa will play host to a first year coach as the Iowa State Cyclones come to town with new head coach Jimmy Rogers. While Rogers was at South Dakota State before his one year stint at Washington […]
Party Like It’s 2016?
College football, in its purest form, is a remarkable game full of tradition, pageantry and so much fun. At the apex of that purity sits rivalry games. Texas-Oklahoma. Ohio State-Michigan. Iowa-Iowa State. There are generations of tradition and hatred built up among the fanbases and the games just bring more juice. Tonight marks the 73rd […]
