So long Go Iowa Awesome
- Thread starter GunnerHawk
- Start date
Iowa Awesome was a cringe-worthy
rhymes with deacon. coincidence?
Just a rebrand, per the article.
Probably a good move. “Go Iowa Awesome” was more fitting for an upstart blog than a sports news site that attends every press conference. Didn’t “GIA” evolve from the old “Black Heart Gold Pants” site? (An equally sophomoric, but fun, name.)

Not a fan of the name, really. I always though Go Iowa Awesome was kind of funny, albeit a little silly.
FIFY…..
I don't mind the name.....but...they could have changed the spelling to:
Hawkeye Beakon.
Hawkeye Beakon.
My favorite from that site back in the day was a piece where Greg Davis was getting replaced by a vending machine. That was 10 years ago. Imagine the improved production that could have been had we pulled the trigger on that one....
Hawkeye Beacon - What does that even mean?
Go Iowa Awesome sounds like something you'd say after a downing a 12 pack of Bud, but it was unique.
Not a fan of the new name, but on the scale of what matters, it barely registers.

I'm the exact opposite. I'm fine with the new name.
GIA was awful. I never called it that, and refused to ever allow myself to call it that or be recognized as such.............and that's probably why the name changed.
The new name is simple enough, even if it's not some attention grabber like some want. I'm assuming the idea was that the "beacon" part is a play on it being a rallying point for Hawkeye fans, which this is, and has been for over 2 decades now.
I agree with you. This sight is much more active than On3 IMHO. And I tried it for a year. Dropped it after the subs ran out. I like the new name.I'm the exact opposite. I'm fine with the new name.
