**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

 

[Pedro]

Just secured my tickets to the Ohio State game, staying at the Courtyard across the street.

Can't fucking wait!

 

[6deuce]

Tickets and AirBnb have been secured for Washington. Haven't booked the flight yet. My man @26.2 and I are going to fucking rage!!

 

[KitKatApples]

ENJOY THE STEAK YOU TWO!

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Tube steak?

 

[6deuce]

Tube steak?

Probably a ribeye too.

 

[6deuce]

ENJOY THE STEAK YOU TWO!

 

[Monster]

Probably a ribeye too.

Can you eat an entire steak these days, Slim?

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Can you eat an entire steak these days, Slim?

He usually shares with the jogdawg

 

[6deuce]

Can you eat an entire steak these days, Slim?

No...which is where @26.2 comes in.

 

[KitKatApples]

He finishes off your meat?

 

[6deuce]

He finishes off your meat?

 

[Mitchandrsn]

Seth Wallace asked for two hours on Monday the 13th so they should be releasing that one Thursday/Friday of next week.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Tickets and AirBnb have been secured for Washington. Haven't booked the flight yet. My man @26.2 and I are going to fucking fuck!!

 

[6deuce]

 

[snips]

who's the power bottom?

 

[KitKatApples]

I highly doubt jog produces much power

 

[brantshawks]

I highly doubt jog produces much power

Face down ass up, that's the way the jogger fucks.

 

[Mysterio]

forgive me

 

[Mysterio]

tigerhawk water tower coming down today

 

[Mitchandrsn]

Lester again on the 20th

Seth Wallace asked for two hours on Monday the 13th so they should be releasing that one Thursday/Friday of next week.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Why Lester again?

 

[The Dad]

More like Moreter!

 

[IowaWigman]

Why Lester again?

Why not?

 

[douglasbader]

Why Lester again?

They barely scratched the surface on the last one and he had to run for his kid's game after 90 minutes.

 

[douglasbader]

More like Moreter!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

If I had to pick our next coach from our current staff, it would definitely be Lester.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Listening to Lester could get annoying as he really likes to talk but it’s obvious he knows what he’s doing and things work off each other. He has a plan, searches for weaknesses & matchups. As the great Jessie Pinkman said, it’s the reverse opposite of Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz.

 

[Shawneemicks]

If I had to pick our next coach from our current staff, it would definitely be Lester.

It’s Levar

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Lesters only handicap is getting the type of QB/wr that you need to be a really good offense that we haven't made a priority.

 

[Callisto]

If I had to pick our next coach from our current staff, it would definitely be Lester.

It’s Levar

This makes me confident that neither will be selected

At the risk of the selfie thread, it's like listening to you and L. Wade post but neither of you know what the fuck you are talking about.
