Iowa '09 Or Iowa '08: Which Team Reigns Supreme?
Last season, Iowa finished No. 7 in the nation with an 11-2 record and a solid win over Georgia Tech for Iowa's first BCS win in over 50 years. The year prior, Iowa finished 9-4 and ranked 20th. Logic would dictate, then, that the 2009 Iowa team was objectively better than their 2008 counterpart....
A Christmas Present From BHGP
For those of you outside the Gazoo's reach, Marc Morehouse wrote quite a fine article about Mitch King, Iowa's finest DT since Jared DeVries (as long as he's better than Matt Kroul, of course, but we think this season put a bit of a gap between the two). He's also the biggest character since Matt...
Mitch King, Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year
As if Greene's award wasn't enough, Mitch King is your Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year: King became the first Hawkeye to nab Defensive Lineman of the Year laurels from the coaches since Jared Devries was honored in 1997. Other Iowa defensive linemen to be honored include Paul Hufford...

The Press-Citizen's Media Day Coverage Is a Steaming Pile of S--t
Yes, it's been a while since we complained like little children about the job the P-C does, mainly because it's been a while since there was any football to be covered. Oh, and they did a bang-up, if self-serving, job covering the mistreatment scandal. But this is a new season, a new year, and...
Because "Mitch King" Is So... Boring
Iowa's most celebrated player of 2008, at least before the season begins, is undoubtedly defensive tackle Mitch King, the stout, crazed senior from Burlington. We like Mitch King around here (even if Ohio State doesn't), but he just doesn't have a great nickname yet.Yet.So that's where you, fair...
Assume the Position: Defensive Tackle
It's about that time. For the next two months, BHGP will be previewing this year's Iowa Hawkeyes, position-by-position. Naturally, as the earth rotates around the sun, things will change. Therefore, we're starting with the position we are most certain of, and ending with running back the...
