    What Will You Spend Your $1,000 Stimulus On?

    It's beginning to sound as if the government is planning on sending every adult $1,000 each in the next two weeks. Now we know the average hok fan will squander theirs on cheap beer, cigarettes, pork rinds, prostitutes and meth, but what will you do? I probably will find some good values in...

    Saw this sign in Lowe's over the weekend ...

    Stopped in to get some paintbrushes and noticed the sign. Probably a good omen.

    Other than the outcome of the game ...

    We had a pretty good time in Orlando. Stayed on International Drive, which was a pretty nice venue, easy to walk and do some people watching. The pep rally was great despite the brief rain shower. The Cyclone Unplugged event was a ton of fun, despite the long lines for beer. That convention...

    The Actual Mascot for the Hoks Isn't a Bird

    No, it's something else... This popular nickname for the University of Iowa sports teams is said to have come from the scout, Hawkeye, in James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans published in 1826. So to be accurate, the Hoks should have some dude in a loincloth and a bow and arrow...

    Dirty Chris Hassell at it again

    He brought on a stooge to reiterate the tired old line of "This is Matt Campbell's last season at Iowa State." Sorry Chris, you need to do your homework. Be sure and stop by my tailgate at B4, I'd be happy to serve you a delicious knuckle sandwich.

    Sports Handicapping Services

    With the upcoming legalization of sports wagering in Iowa, does anybody have any recommendations on handicappers? There are a ton of them out there, some with pretty good records for past picks. Any thoughts?

    Uncle Randy - What's the Point?

    He's at it again. Just can't stop himself from trying to get everybody riled up. Just can't let it drop. Always pushing the narrative of getting Matt Campbell to the NFL. Why, Randy? Can't you come up with something original...

    Oliver Martin Derangement Syndrome

    Our baby brothers over on Hokeye Pokey Forum are all up in arms over the rumors of Oliver Martin leaving Michigan and transferring to the hoks. Apparently this isn't quite correct. Talked with his dad over the weekend: Facts He loves Michigan. He's not ever leaving. If he did, ISU would be his...

    The Chicken

    No, I'm not talking about some dumb Hok. Has anyone been to The Chicken, a restaurant on the south side of West Des Moines, along the bike path to Cumming? We went there a couple of weeks ago and had an awesome dinner. Actual broasted chicken, cold beer in a nice atmosphere.

    The Dumbest Hok Ever Born

    Here's the latest drivel from some moron on Hokeye Pokey Forum. He calls himself "Kujawa Man", (what the hell is a kujawa?) Dodger - some of what you say is true. But Iowa is a national brand at least according to sports publications and Forbes. ISU will have more graduates in Iowa because they...

    Nice to see him coming back to Iowa. He'll be a good fit at Drake and I'll enjoy watching him from my seat with a cold beer in my hand.

    Hoks See Season Tickets Sales Dropping

    Interesting read about the hok football season ticket numbers dropping. Partly because of high prices, and the other to the less than exciting home schedule for 2019. Is this the year Jack Trice Stadium sees more fans than Kin-ick...
