This past weekend the Hawks Nest took 100-some odd students 8 hours north to lay our claim on the Big House.  Not only did our beloved Hawkeyes dismantle the four week hypothetical Heisman trophy winner (Denard Robinson), but we came out with a huge victory that should light a nice little fire under the players arses for the road ahead.

The Big House, well, was The Big House.  The rafters shook, the noise pierced ears, the fans were a refreshing mixture of accepting, humble, and drunk, and the game was great (a little to close for comfort in the 4th quarter though).

I know I shouldn’t use this as an outlet to promote a group that I started, but I’m going to do just that.  For those prospective students out there that want to attend a school with a fan section that rivals that of the Cameron Crazies of Duke, Illini Pride of U of I, or the Paint Crew of Purdue, Iowa is the place for you.

If you would like the opportunity to go to at least one road football game a year, Hawks Nest and Iowa is where it’s at.  If you would like to go to at least two Men’s Basketball games a year, the Hawks Nest and Iowa will provide.  If you have interest in building one of the best student fan sections in all of sports, the Hawks Nest and Iowa are accepting applications NOW!

The athletics here at Iowa are on the up swing.  Not only are we home to the BEST collegiate wrestling program in all of the U, S, of A, but we have one of the best collegiate football coaches and a team that looks like it will stay in the rankings for years to come.  We are also home to a Men’s basketball program that is, in the words of T.J. Lavin (from the Real World/Road Rules Challenges), are going to absolutely “KILL IT”.

Oh and don’t forget about Bluder’s Bunch and the Women’s basketball program.

I know athletics had a lot to do with my decision in schooling, and I’m telling you folks, Iowa is where it’s at.

Plus, if you are wanting to get involved with athletics in some way, the Hawks Nest is always looking for Captains for individual sports as well as Executive Board Members.

Don’t miss out on these great opportunities to visit the Big House, or Spartan Stadium, or hopefully one day the Horseshoe!

As always On Iowa, and Go Hawks!
