    Edit-The 1974 USC game-Coach Bob Commings' running game they built

    I'm 62 and attended every home game during the 70's, coming down from Waterloo with my dad. There were high hopes at running back with Rodney Wellington, Tom Renn, Eddie Donovan, and Jim Arkeilpane. We already had a force in "Laser-beam" Lazar and his football spin touchdown celebration, which...

    Bernie Wyatt Has Passed

    During some of those long afternoons at Kinnick in the 70's, a highlight was the interaction between Bernie, McCarney and the Hawkeye defense. I can still picture them jumping up and down as guys like Jim Molini, Tom Rusk and Shanty Burks came to the sideline following a big stop. I could never...

    Star tribune column on gopher Hawkeye rivalry

    I was also at the Minnesota game in '82, my sophomore year at Iowa. The gut-wrenching loss was the start of a horrendous chapter in Hawk hoop history. The following Thursday in Champaign, we blew a 16-point lead in the second half and lost to the Illini in overtime. Two days later at Purdue, it...

    Your first Iowa game.

    My dad had four season tickets since he graduated from Iowa in 1958. He started taking me to games in 1967 when I was six years old. We parked and tailgated (Coca-Cola for me) with others from Waterloo in the triangle lot on Melrose and Golfview. The adults had a full bar on a card table.

    Fleck’s Presser today (Monday)

    Jim Walden was 0-8 vs. the Hawkeyes in his time as head coach at Iowa State. Hayden would joke by saying, "Sooner or later, Jim will beat us by accident." Fleck is approaching Walden's lofty status.

    Minnesota "things"...

    Nice gesture by the Hawks to have Yahya Black be one of the players to hoist Floyd after the game. Yahya is from Marshall, Minnesota. Had to feel special for him in Minneapolis.

    75 years

    I'm old enough to still want revenge vs. Wisconsin for what Billy Marek did to us at Kinnick in '74. He ran for 206 yards and scored four touchdowns in the 28-15 Badger win. It was one of many long rides home to Waterloo through Tiffin, Marengo, Belle Plaine and Dysart.

    Skip Holtz was OC for dad Lou Holtz at Notre Dame and South Carolina. Between those jobs Skip was head coach at UConn. Lou included a clause in Skip's contract at South Carolina that Skip would succeed him as head coach. Didn't happen. Following two losing seasons, Lou demoted Skip from OC to QB...
