**2026 Iowa Football Offseason and Transfer Portal Thread**

[CurdMan]

Has there been any inkling who is really impressing in closed practices...

Put me in the other guys camp until we get a good look

Basically all of the media guys are pushing Hecklinski which makes me want Brown because the Iowa media guys are mostly idiots

 

[Gushawk]

Interview with Bell on the DL. Specifically mentioned strides by Drew Campbell and Kennedy. Also quotes James Baldwin, which I appreciated.

[Monster]

You were a big Diego Pavia guy if memory serves. Thought he would light up the Hawks.

He did.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

The problem with Hank is even if he’s better, he has to be really fucking good because 98% of the fanbase has already decided it should be Hecklinski and will be miserable anytime he throws an incomplete pass.

It’s the Gus Effect.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Stinky and Monster come back on the same day. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[Stomper15]

 

[Gushawk]

It’s the Gus Effect.

If hating unnecessary drive killing sacks and immobility related pocket panic is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

 

[Gushawk]

from the standpoint of men’s basketball and football, is this good or bad from a player acquisition/retention standpoint?

 

[Shawneemicks]

Not sure

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Swarm beer may soon be senseless

 

[KitKatApples]

I thought that the was the whole point of the other one

 

[Verbal]

The Tigerhawk beer from Big Grove is definitely better than the Swarm beer, but that was a low bar.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

from the standpoint of men’s basketball and football, is this good or bad from a player acquisition/retention standpoint?

It’s good for the bloated administrative budget.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Swarm, Flight funds. Who the fuck approved these stupid names?

 

[Lee Beevers]

He did.

Whammy!!!!

 

[cloudhawk]

Swarm beer may soon be senseless

Will join the likes of Hawkeye Gold and Hawkeye Vodka in the Pantheon of Hawkeye Beverages.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Rip vodka sam

 

[TimboSlice]

I think Tim told us without telling us it will likely be brown. To start anyway.

Fuck you.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Will join the likes of Hawkeye Gold and Hawkeye Vodka in the Pantheon of Hawkeye Beverages.

I didn't mind the Swarm vodka from Foundry
