Tyler and Collin break down Iowa's 37-0 shutout victory over rival Wisconsin at Camp Randall. From the offense doing just enough with a limited Mark Growonski to the defense putting on a dominating performance, we cover the game from all angles. We then dive into Wisconsin’s shocking freefall under Luke Fickell. Wrapping up, we turn our eyes to a prime-time home clash at Kinnick against a stumbling Penn State squad - a matchup that's suddenly looking very winnable for the Hawks!

In this post-bye week edition, Tyler and Collin dive into the critical Heartland Trophy clash at Wisconsin this Saturday. With QB Mark Gronowski's injury status uncertain, we break down our prediction for a must-win road game that could influence how the season unfolds. As Iowa Football approaches the halfway point, we discuss whether the season so far has been a disappointment or not. We wrap things up with a quick shift to Hawkeye hoops, as Thursday's Big 10 Media Days signal that the season is getting closer and closer.

Tyler and Collin unpack Iowa's crushing 20-15 loss to Indiana — yet another missed opportunity for the Hawkeyes.
Collin breaks down Iowa's massive Big Ten showdown against the red-hot, 11th-ranked Indiana Hoosiers—undefeated at 4-0 and fresh off a 63-9 demolition of Illinois. Inside what will be a LOUD Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, can the Hawks get it done?
Collin analyzes Iowa’s 38-28 road win over Rutgers—their Big Ten opener and a crucial game to maintain momentum as they face a tough opponent next week at home against Indiana. Collin briefly previews that game toward the end of the episode.
Tyler and Collin discuss the Hawkeyes' commanding 47-7 victory over UMass, a game that displayed some offensive breakthroughs fans have been eager to see. We discuss whether this performance indicates real progress for Gronowski's comfort and the offense moving forward. We also cover the strong defensive showing and the ups and downs of Special Teams so far this season. Additionally, we preview Iowa's next challenge: a quick-turnaround road game against Rutgers on Friday night.
Of course, we can't overlook the historic milestone: Head coach Kirk Ferentz earning his 206th career win at Iowa, surpassing Woody Hayes to become the all-time leader in Big Ten coaching wins—a testament to his legendary tenure and the program's lasting stability.
In this post-CyHawk episode, we explore the aftermath, highlighting the key moments and frustrations of the game. But the main focus? Breaking down what has been a disastrous Iowa offense so far – why does it keep sputtering, what systemic issues are holding it back, and can it improve under Kirk?
Tyler and Collin analyze Iowa football's 2025 season opener against Albany, breaking down the 34-7 win. The main discussion point was the inconsistent passing game in Mark Gronowski’s Hawkeye debut. Is it time to panic? We talk about that and also highlight some positives from the game. We conclude by previewing the big game next week in Ames, where confidence in Iowa winning seems low at this point.
In this final episode before the 2025 Iowa Hawkeyes Football season kicks off, Collin and Tyler are joined by special guest Kolby, who makes his annual appearance on the show. The trio dives deep into their expectations for the upcoming season, starting with their biggest concern heading into the year. Next, they shift gears to highlight the most exciting aspects they're looking forward to entering their season. We then deliver one bold prediction for the season. Finally, they reveal their predicted season records, explaining the reasoning behind their win-loss projections without diving into a game-by-game breakdown. The episode wraps up with a lively discussion on what would constitute a successful season for the Hawkeyes in 2025.

This midsummer episode shifts away from our usual football focus to explore the buzz around Iowa men’s basketball—a level of excitement Hawkeye fans haven’t experienced in years. We discuss the commitment of a highly-rated 2025 forward, a 6-foot-8 versatile player reclassifying to join Iowa early, and what this major recruiting win indicates for the program. The spotlight then shifts to the energy surrounding the team and the general excitement for the upcoming basketball season.

Iowa’s wide receivers have long been the Achilles’ heel of the Hawkeyes’ offense. But now, in year two of Lester’s system, with proven FCS quarterback Mark Gronowski and a group of promising receivers, could 2025 finally be the year Iowa’s passing attack takes flight?
Collin will discuss all things wideouts in this episode and share his opinion on the state of the room and whether they can take that next step this upcoming year or not.

I analyze each position group, examining who I think will start and what we might see this Fall. Plus, I share my experience from attending the Carroll I-Club outing last week, where I had the opportunity to meet the new men’s basketball coach Ben McCollum and Kirk Ferentz!

Tyler and Collin attended the spring "game" (practice) on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium. We share our observations and key takeaways from the day as the Hawkeyes concluded spring ball. They discuss the performance on both sides of the ball, highlight some standout players, and share our feelings as we approach the latter part of the offseason. We then wrap up with a brief recap of the players from Iowa drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Collin and Tyler dive deeper into the new era of Hawkeye Hoops as they gradually add more players to the roster, including KSU transfer Brendan Hausen. We then transition to football and discuss Brendan Sullivan’s departure, examine the spring portal further, and assess which position groups prioritize acquiring a spring portal player the most.
Tyler and Collin begin the episode by discussing the excitement surrounding coach Ben McCollum and the era of Hawkeye Hoops. We dive into the roster so far and explore what else Iowa needs to compete in the Big Ten for year one under Ben. Next, we shift to football as Collin outlines his Spring Football Storylines for both the offense and defense, highlighting emerging players, position battles, and key points to watch for this spring as the team prepares for the 2025 season.
Iowa Men’s basketball welcomes Ben McCollum as their new head coach, fresh off a stellar season at Drake. From his dominance at NW Missouri St to leading Drake to a 31-4 record and an NCAA Tournament run, Collin explores what McCollum brings to the Hawkeyes after Fran McCaffery’s departure.
Collin dives into the seismic shift in Iowa City as Fran McCaffery, the winningest coach in Iowa Men’s Basketball history, is dismissed after 15 seasons. Collin unpacks the highs and lows of Fran’s Tenure and analyzes the factors behind the exit. Collin then explores the potential candidates to lead Iowa into a new era of Hawkeye hoops.
In this episode, we explore Tim Lester's first season as Iowa's offensive coordinator in 2024, analyzing how he revitalized one of college football's most stagnant units into a promising offense.
With the Hawkeyes showing significant improvement—highlighted by Kaleb Johnson—we explore what worked, what didn’t, and whether Lester can build on this foundation in his second year. We discuss and analyze the stats from last year, the strategies, and the potential for Iowa’s offense to reach even greater heights in year two under Lester.
Finally, we’re diving into the exciting news as Iowa hires Warren Ruggiero as their new senior offensive analyst. Warren brings a wealth of experience and offensive firepower to a program looking to elevate its passing game in 2025.
Tyler and Collin begin the episode by reflecting on the 2024 season, which had many highs and lows that defined the 8-5 campaign. The ups and downs, inconsistencies, and everything in between kept us from having a very successful season.
Beyond that, we’ll explore the state of the program: Is Iowa football in a healthy spot moving forward? With NIL, a shifting Big Ten landscape, and heightened competition, can the Hawkeyes remain contenders in this tougher conference, or will they settle as a mid-tier?

Carver-Hawkeye Arena was the epicenter of Women’s College Basketball on Sunday as Iowa upsets #4 USC and also retires Caitlin Clark’s jersey. The best to ever do it and all the memories of the last four years with Caitlin Clark came full circle on Sunday.
Tyler and Collin recap the game a little, instead, we discuss CC's impact and greatness at Iowa and now in the WNBA. We discuss what she meant—along with Lisa Bluder and other players like Kate Martin—for all of us Hawk fans.
Next, we discuss this current season and what it’s been like post-Clark and Bluder era.
Finally, we switch over to the men's side which feels like a complete 180 compared to the women’s program at this current moment. A program that feels sort of on life support - is the inevitable of a big change only a matter of time?

Collin begins discussing Iowa basketball and why the fanbase's apathy is at an all-time low. The question of whether this will be Fran's last year is starting to heat up.
Next, Collin reacts to the news from a few weeks back that MG will be out all spring for surgery to repair his shoulder. Also, get into our latest transfer portal commit, as Sam Phillips out of Chattanooga commits to the Hawks. This is a much-needed WR that Tim Lester can work with.
Finally, for a little fun, Collin looks back at all the quarterbacks who committed to Iowa since 2017 and eventually transferred out. We look at what schools they transferred to and their stats at the new school. It's a horrible, almost decade-long period of inept recruiting and development. Hopefully, Tim Lester can change that narrative!

A look back at some of the games that went our way and some that didn’t and preview the rest of the schedule along with a general recap of how the roster is doing.

Tyler and Collin react to yet another loss against a ranked team as Iowa loses to Missouri 27-24. This is now the third game this season where the Hawks blow a 10-point lead. We dive into the game and focus our attention on Brenden Sullivan and the secondary. Sully played lights out in the first half but looked completely different in the second half. Is he truly the guy moving forward for us? And then to the defense and the regression we have seen especially in the secondary. Improvement needed is an understatement going into our daunting schedule next year.

Tyler and Collin are back after a short hiatus to discuss the miss for Iowa as Beau Pribula chooses Missouri. This is a prime example of Iowa needing to change the narrative on the offensive side of the ball and Lester having his work cut out to change that. We then get into the commit the Hawks got last week when Auburn QB Hank Brown transferred to Iowa. How does he impact the QB room and who will be QB1 in 2025. We end the show talking more about some portal guys that Iowa is going after and our reaction to round 1 of the College Football Playoffs.
(Post-Show Edit: Jonas Pace (DT-Central Mich) has committed to the Hawks - he was still in decision mode when we recorded this episode)
