Well folks, we’re just a little less than 3 weeks away from another Iowa football season. I don’t know if it’s the exceptional heat that we’ve been experiencing here in the desert, or just the hope of a fool, but I’m damn optimistic heading into the “Quest for 325”.
Brian Ferentz jokes aside, I can’t recall the last time that I was this excited to see a Hawkeye team take the field. After an infuriatingly successful* season last year, we’ve got something to be excited about. There’s obviously cause for concern, what with losing all-world talent like Jack Campbell, Lukas Van Ness, Riley Moss, and Kaevon Merriwether, but let’s be honest here not a single Iowa fan is worried about Phil Parker’s defense or LaVar Woods’ Special Teams Units.
