Favorite Hawkeyes Who Were Drinkers?

Les Jepsen. I remember walking around a corner one time and my forehead hit Les in the lower sternum...I'm 6'2. We chatted for a while...He and Troy Skinner were LOADED but having a ball. It was either nickel or dime draws (too long ago to remember and too much drinking at the time myself) and Les was putting it away like water.
 
What would a boy be doing in college if not drinking, smoking and chasing the Sheilas?

I remember it was the rumor. Always wondered if it was true.

Its not. I wish it was true cuz Luke Recker is one of only two Hawks I disliked. He and Alford had some religious thing going. They were quite a pair.

If this were not a public forum, so its just a tease, I would tell you a tale that is funnier than watching fat, pregnant by same guy, sisters fighting or a little debater piss himself, both of which are admittedly always very very funny.

Who is the second Hawkeye you disliked?

Also wtf?
 
If we could include the fans, I’d say me! 🥃🥃 I’m really hopeful this year. Go Hawks and cheers to all my fellow drinking Hawks!

So here is a pretty funny story. In law school we could take an upper level class in another “department” pass-fail. And we all took an insurance class (people did for years before I got there in the mid-90’s). And the teacher would do a deal that people wrote down the winner and scores for basketball and the closest got a 12 pack. He said he stopped it for a semester cause Kingsbury was in the class and he was worried Kingsbury would throw the game for the 12 pack.
i remember that class !!!
 
I had the (mis)fortune to attend a couple of end of the year wrestling parties. Saw Gable burn his hand bigly on one of the Iowa Pork Producers roasters one year. Saw the entire team jump the fence at the Tiffin water treatment plant so they could wrestle another year. Wrestlers could drink. However I once witnessed Mark Bortz and Bill Glass in a drink off/gross out contest. It didn’t end when Glass pissed in a cup and Bortz drank it. Rather it ended when Bortz puked and Glass made a sandwich with the yuke and ate it. Therefore my vote goes to Bortz/Glass with Gable and his guys a close 2nd.

Yeah. That’s not good.
 
Probably why you guys never read the constitution- or at least the democrat lawyers ( 90%)?
Huh? Don’t even understand that. Was that supposed to be a compliment or a troll? Maybe you should take some upper level classes to be a tad more clear.

Sobieski enjoyed his beer from the first day he got on campus. Once had to carry him out of a party and considering he was about 6’6 and 300+, it was not an easy task late at night

Read this to remove any doubt that high-level wrestlers are absolutely insane. That’s absurdly insane!

I once sat one table over from Gable at the temporary Deadwood trailer (when businesses needed to temporarily relocate due to construction). He was throwing back some cold ones but nothing like the above craziness.

Not really a party prowess story, but I saw Drew Tate at the original Moose McDuffy’s in Cedar Rapids once during his playing days. I mentioned to my then g/f that it was odd for him to be outside of Iowa City by himself. She immediately went up and asked if he was Drew Tate. He sort of smiled and said yeah. She just said “oh” and walked away. I don’t know if it seems funny now, but I loved it at the time.
 
Who was the hot field hockey girl that got a dui and Randy Larsen was all over at the Airliner from time to time?
 
During the Davis years. We got a big center out of Michigan that came from a great family both professionals as I recall. One of the assistant coaches told us that when he got to Iowa he found out the dorms had frigs and girls and drank and screwed him self off the team
 
The "Household Name"
He was only with the team his freshman year just can't remember his name. He went to Toms office and was bitching him out for not playing him and rather then Tom getting mad he walked around the office with his hand on his cheek and Said so you think I'm stupid. This was told to a group of us by one of the coaches

Ray Thompson.
 
Didn't Kingsbury piss in a hotel lobby plant one time or did I dream that?

He did, and one B**** L*** was the fall guy.
Now that I think on it, B**** might have been the one to do it, but CK got busted for it.

B**** was not an athlete. Went to D*****G High School in WDM.
