The Real Cambus Has Arrived

by HMBGoHawks on May 21, 2011 1:32 AM CDT

Just this spring, Iowa got a walk on commitment from an Independence, IA native who already has a year at Iowa under his belt. His name is Cameron Hayward and he played football, wrestled, and did track in high school, performing well at all. After turning down football scholarships from multiple smaller programs, Cam chose Iowa and played on the rugby team in his freshman year.

Just a few weeks ago he agreed to walk on to the football program as a defensive lineman under the terms he be allowed to keep his position as an RA. He's serving as a Hawkeye Guide this summer, helping bring in the new freshman class into life at Iowa and lead them in the ways of the Hawkeyes. He's a gentle giant, kind hearted, creative, hilarious, and no matter what you may call Brad Rogers, Mr. Hayward will remain The Cambus in my mind.

P.S. - This was not written by his mother, but holy shit does that last sentence look like it.

Even if you are his mother,

I think we are all OK with those type of comments here at BHGP. Just don’t start writing opinion pieces in the local newspaper.

Okay, I gather that this is serious

but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m being punk’d or something.

AIRBHG...

as HMBGoHawks is now hyping walk-ons to the BHGP readership, only to sever ligaments, tendons, or muscles later on.

Tis legit

His name is really Cam Hayward, but it’s with an “a” not an “e” like the Cam Heyward of Ohio State lore. However, he’ll knock some skulls.

that's silly. those routes don't even exist

No, no, if we’re doing this, they’ll have to take real names. Hawkeye-Hospital and Hawkeye-Express just roll off the tongue.

Why does the black route have to be black?

I have always hated the Red Route and Blue Routes

and even went so far as to write to the Parking Office to change them to Black and Gold Routes. My wife says I have too much time on my hands.

For a community as fanatical about the Hawks as Iowa City is, that isn't an unreasonable goal.

I went there.

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

Whta does HMB stand for?

Her Majesty’s Butt?

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

HMB (hydroxy methylbutyrate)

It is a weight lifting supplement that Lance Armstrong used to grow an extra thick nut sack. Better health and performance through science is awesome.
