The Hawkeye Huddle

Year number 21 of The Hawkeye Huddle comes to a close with plenty of interesting talk of the new men's basketball coach, the achievements of the women's basketball team, and a wrap on the wrestling season.

March Madness is in full swing and there is a ton to talk about. Women's hoops starts their run in the big dance. Wrestlers take 9 to the NCAA meet. And the search is on for a new Men's basketball coach. Plus, baseball and football news.

Fully into March Madness, the women's team wears out in a close loss to Ohio State but an upper half seed in the NCAAs is ahead. The men's team saves its season and will play on thanks to a win at Nebraska. And the wrestlers disappoint at the Big Ten meet.

Its March and time to talk conference tournaments and NCAA championships!

We are headed into March and postseason talk in all sports is on the minds of the boys at the huddle.

An exciting loss? That's how the boys see the Women's hoops team's loss at #8 Ohio State with #3 UCLA coming to Carver Wednesday. The Wrestlers warm up for #2 Oklahoma State with two decisive victories. And the Men's basketball squad continues to scrap and fight despite being undermanned.

Women's Hoops and Men's Wrestlers enjoy some rousing victories and have plenty to be optimistic about.

Lots to celebrate from a great Sunday for the Women's Basketball team, the men's team is in danger of unraveling, and the wrestlers are proven to be miles behind #1 Penn State.

A spirited discussion on the state of Iowa Basketball and what needs to be done along with a full preview of the wrestling tilt with Penn State, football recruiting news, and a huge women's basketball weekend upcoming.

For the first time in years the boys have hit a week where happenings did not produce a lot of hope, at least on the basketball court. Still, discussion of the future in hoops and positive wrestling news help them look forward. h

Baseketball starts into the second half of the season officially and the wrestlers are finally back in action with a resounding win over Wisconsin.

Despite a rough week on the court, optimism abounds as the football staff is adding important pieces through the transfer portal and both the hoops teams are still looking like contenders for the NCAA tournament.

An instant-react show of sorts as the boys take the air just moments after Iowa's difficult loss in the Music City Bowl.

A packed show with Music City Bowl preview, football portal news, men's and women's basketball breakdown and more.

The football transfer portal takes center stage as Iowa fans are already looking at continuing the Kirk Ferentz legacy in 2025. Both hoops teams get splits on the week and head into the holidays with hope but room for improvement.

A soup to nuts Hawkeye show with huge hoops on tap this week vs. ISU.

The regular season for football is now in the rear mirror and the Hawks got it done with another stunning comeback win over Nebraska. Plenty to discuss there as well as continued Hoops for both the men and women as they begin to hit the meat of their schedule.

Iowa dominates Maryland on the football field bringing up the final regular season game for the year against Nebraska. Women's hoops is just good…period. The wrestlers keep winning and the Men's Basketball team disappoints in Kansas City.

Loads of early season basketball optimism and a QB question again for football.

A befuddling loss at UCLA was frustrating to say the least and who will be available against Maryland in two weeks is anybody's guess. Fortunately, the winter sports are underway and all is well so far in wrestling and basketball.

Computer glitches cause a pretty rough start to the show…but things level out for a good discussion over 6 different sports!

Iowa's quarterback situation is suddenly very clear…but a little scary. The defense came to play against NW and they'll need to be just as good against Wisconsin. Basketball has tipped off and the other major fall sports are winding down.

A tough loss at Michigan State has the boys down but not out with a lot of season left to go. It's also time for hoops to begin and wrestling is on the horizon as well.

A resounding victory over Washington was fun….but how much help will it be in moving into discussions for the College Football Playoff? And will the momentum carry over to the trip to Michigan State this weekend.

Can the Hawkeyes rebound after self-destructing on and off the field at Ohio State? Lots of discussion and basketball talk too.

Bring on Ohio State!

After a big win at Minnesota, the boys turn to discussing what Iowa will work on in the coming bye week as well as fan commentary on X during and after games.

The Big Ten Season is upon us and its time to get ready to battle for the pig with Minnesota. Some news from the hoops world and other fall sports as well.

A gut punch one-point loss to Iowa State leaves Iowa fans with so much to discuss….where there were so many opportunities to win…where the coaches made mistakes, the players didn't execute….and even Iowa State made the plays they needed to make. Turning the page is the crux of this show.

Iowa provided hope for Hawkeye fans with a sparkling second half performance against Illinois State. But will it continue against Iowa State in the annual Cy Hawk showdown?

Back for year number 21! It's a football gameweek and there is plenty to discuss with the first game coming up against Illinois State….Iowa's first without a head coach named Fry or Ferentz since 1978!

The Iowa Women's Basketball team takes their place on the Mt. Rushmore of Iowa Athletics by advancing to the National Championship. The boys break down the historic final weekend of the season as well as provide a little news out of football spring practice in the final show of the 2023-2024 year. Tune in again […] Read more

Iowa football has a new offensive coordinator (finally), and winter sports teams head in to February with a ton on the line.

This show is all over the place with discussion of the new Athletic Director, privacy rights violations in the recent gambling scandal, the continuing search for an Offensive Coordinator, and losses on the court for both the men's and women's hoops teams.

A perfect week for Iowa's major winter sports teams doesn't come along very often. But it sure does make for fun radio.

With GMigs closed for the weather, the boys call in from their respective homesteads but manage a full show covering Women's Hoops and Wrestling, Men's Hoops and Wrestling, Baseball, and yes….still more Football. There's always more to talk about in the world of the Iowa Hawkeyes.

It's not a fun subject, but the boys can't help but discuss Iowa's flop in the Citrus Bowl. But they keep one eye on the future and update the winter sports as they head into 2024.

It's Citrus Bowl week and there's plenty of football talk left to go around as the boys wrap up the season.
