The Hawkeye Huddle

A win for the ages in Ann Arbor has the boys celebrating mightily yet keeping an eye on the next big hurdle, this week’s tilt with Ohio State at Kinnick.

With a convincing and thorough beating of Northern Iowa in the rearview, the nonconference season is a success. Now it’s time to step up to the big time and take on the Wolverines of Michigan in the big house this week! Is Iowa ready? The boys try to figure it all out.

A closer than expected win over Iowa State probably should have been expected and the boys break it down fully as well as talk about the big recruiting weekend in Iowa City.

Finally, the boys have a game to dissect. But the opponent and the on-field temps make it difficult to tell as much as they'd like. None-the-less, it's hate week with Iowa State on tap for Saturday.

It's the first real Gameweek of the year as the Hawks take on Northern Illinois on the gridiron on Saturday. But the boys also have updates on a huge week in Field Hockey, Soccer, and Volleyball where all three squads went without a loss.

An unplanned issue pushes the boys to Wednesday for the first show of Season 23. But, not to worry, they have everything covered from preseason football talk to some hoops and additional fall sports news. Iowa's longest running Hawkeye podcast is back!

Season 22 of The Hawkeye Huddle comes to a close with plenty of discussion of Iowa's invigorating run throught the Men's NCAA tournament, and what is ahead in the world of the Iowa Hawkeyes.

After 21 years of futility, the Huddle finally gets to discuss an Iowa Men's Basketball Sweet 16!

The NCAA Tournaments...you know, the big ones we all look forward to...are here. The boys look deeply at the chances of both the Men's and Women's teams as they do dancin.

March madness is here!

A huge disappointing head scratcher in Happy Valley has the Men's basketball team scrambling. But the Women's team pushes on with two wins and secures the #2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. Also men's and women's wrestling updates along with baseball and softball talk.

As February closes, seeding for the post-season becomes the focus in basketball. The wrestling squad is still struggling and may need a coaching change. And baseball is underway.

Good hoops, bad hoops, and ugly hoops along with wrestling and baseball talk this week!!!

With a little under one month to go until March Madness, everything just means more. Fortunately, this year the conversation is about earning better seeds than getting in. The baseball season begins for Iowa this week as well and the wrestlers are still working toward trying to wrap up the year on a high note.

Always a technology adventure, the boys are together at GMigs on phones across the room from each other to bring you analysis of a successful Men's hoops week, a less exciting week on the Women's side, and disappointments in wrestling as well.

The Iowa Women had a huge week and now a date at #2 UCLA looms. The Iowa Men face a must-win week against lesser teams. And the wrestlers are back on track to a point. Plus the new football schedule is out.

Interesting talk about Hawkeye football and IF an "Indiana-like" season could ever take place in Iowa City with same coaching staff. Plenty of good hoops discussion and some wrestling too.

A so-so week in the world of the Iowa Hawkeyes as far as wins and losses go...and what the upcoming week looks like for that matter. Still, lots of positive and interesting football transfer portal talk and breakdowns of everything on tap.

Lots of discussion of the Bowl victory over Vanderbilt and the football transfer portal. Plus, all good for the week on the hoops front. And wrestling is about to get going again in earnest.

Plenty of hoops talk as the both teams are now ranked and solidly in the Top Quadrant of the NCAA NET. Plus more football as the Iowa prepares for the Reliaquest Bowl and receives what is literally the BIGGEST postseason award given each year.

A lot of basketball talk as both teams lost close games at Top 10 rated Iowa State. The women have a huge chance at redemption this week in a contest against UCONN. Football Awards are out as well and food for discussion.

Post-season football accolades for the Big Ten are out and both basketball teams ready for their shootouts with the Cyclones in the Iowa Corn CyHawk series. Its an especially big one in Ames for the Women's teams.

The regular season for football comes to an end with an encouraging victory at Nebraska and now the winter sports seasons are in full swing. Basketball and wrestling both on tap!

An uninspired group came back for an inspiring win on the football field and now turn their attention to the rivalry with Nebraska to wrap up the regular season. The wrestlers prepare for their tussle with Iowa State. And the Women's Basketball team gets two huge wins to stay undefeated.

Another one-score loss, this time to USC, has the boys down but not out. Still optimistic about positively finishing up a season that will be remembered for a lot of reasons...good and bad.

The loss to Oregon was a gut-punch for the guys. But the Hawks have to move forward. So it is on to USC. Field Hockey and Soccer make the NCAA Tournament. And hoops is officially underway as is wrestling!

Well, to put it mildly, this is a BIG one. Saturday's upcoming game with Oregon has everyone excited about a huge matchup with CFP implications. Plus, the winter sports seasons are officially underway!

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.

Year number 21 of The Hawkeye Huddle comes to a close with plenty of interesting talk of the new men's basketball coach, the achievements of the women's basketball team, and a wrap on the wrestling season.

March Madness is in full swing and there is a ton to talk about. Women's hoops starts their run in the big dance. Wrestlers take 9 to the NCAA meet. And the search is on for a new Men's basketball coach. Plus, baseball and football news.
