Hawkmania - Rockin' Out, 1980's Hawkeye Style

[Very, very bumped. Hawk, Hawk! Hawkmania! --AJ]

Anyone ever heard this gem of a song? My friend had it dubbed from a record into mp3 format a few years ago. Wanted to get it up on youtube for everyone to enjoy. Its circa mid/late 1980's. We work it into every tailgate ... it gets the Hawkeye fever flowin. This is the rough draft ... will do some fine tuning editing later. 

"Its the hawkeye fans that give the Hawks their power."

Hawkmania (via JMan2124)

Some advice...

get the “new” tiger hawk, hippie hawk, whatever-the-fuck-you-want-to-call-it hawk out of your video before you get a jihad put on you.

The correct nomenclature for said Tiger Hawk is

" Crack Hawk!"

No

Shit.

I stand corrected.

Cocaine falcon?

A cocaine falcon...

would probably be surprisingly fierce.

But the “new tiger hawk” certainly does suck.

The Cocaine Falcons

That’s the name of my next city-rec basketball team.

Great song but crack hawk = fail.

Still birth. Just bury it and never mention the abomination again.
Please.

Did that video contain

the Crack Hawk, a Freedom Bowl reference and a shot of Monter Glasper? A cornucopia of WTF.

Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

Isn't it like Mon'ter or something?

Yes.

If you are talking about #3, it was Murray.

Given the creepiness of the song...

I think a Pierre Pierce #3 pic would’ve been better.

by KenOKeefeIfuckinghateyou on Oct 15, 2010 10:25 PM CDT up reply actions  

Damn, yes,

it was Murray. I’m getting old and my mind is getting rusty. Next I won’t be able to pick Jeff Skillet out of a line-up.

But can’t stop laughing about it. If someone could get The Darkness to perform that it would be fantastic.

I love the Hawkeyes and routinely find myself in the throes of Hawkmania...

But the only thing acceptable about that song is the bassline.

1984

My educated guess for the year it’s made. Lyrics near the beginning say “we’re going to the Freedom Bowl”. Hawks beat Texas 55-17 in the first-ever Freedom bowl on 12/26/84

I spent half my life's earnings on wine, women & song. The other half I wasted.

by therealCatnuts on Oct 15, 2010 2:58 PM CDT reply actions  

So fitting that Iowa and Texas would inaugurate the first Freedom Bowl.

Combine Iowa's no-helmet laws and Texas' open-container laws

Picture me rollin’….Surely into a horrible collision, but still. Raaaawwwwkkkk!

I was thinking about Texas'

Inability to join the United States Fierce independent spirit after their revolution and Iowa’s clear dedication to freedom and justice for all.

Man, I hope it wasn't made after 1984

“We’re on our way to the Freedom Bowl” would be a really depressing attempt at setting a team goal. Sort of like if they came out with “Boilermania” (or would it be "Boilmania?) and had the lyrics “We’re on our way to the Pizza Pizza Bowl.”
Yeah, suck on that you Purdue motherfuckers!

by LowcountryHawk on Oct 15, 2010 7:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

probably close

we arent actually sure when they made it, but we think it was mid 80’s. youre probably right

Still the Longhorns' worst bowl loss.

Awesome

Also, I saw THE definition of swagger driving home today. I got stuck behind a 40 ft RV pulling an Airboat. Yes, an airboat. Mind you this is in the Middle of God-damn nowhere Iowa. And they had Iowa plates. What the fuck are you doing with an airboat in the middle of Iowa? I think the answer is, because we can.

up here in minnesota the lake im on right now is way low... about 30 houses would need airboats to even get on the water.

then again, NW iowa is flooded to all shit – or was a couple weeks back anyway…

So much wrong with that

But the picture of Moeaki, near the end, with the ENTIRE Michigan defense in frame and chasing him was sweet.
