Founded in 1889 in Iowa City, Iowa Hawkeyes football pairs ferocious defense and downhill running with big-stage moments. The program claims national championships in 1921, 1922, 1956, 1958 and 1960, owns a stack of Big Ten titles, and boasts signature wins like the 2010 Orange Bowl. Legends loom large, from 1939 Heisman winner Nile Kinnick to transformative coaches Hayden Fry and Kirk Ferentz. Each fall, Kinnick Stadium turns electric: fans stripe the stands in black and gold, the team forms The Swarm to "Back in Black," and the entire crowd pauses after the first quarter for The Wave to the children’s hospital. Rivalries keep the edge sharp, especially the Cy-Hawk showdown with Iowa State and the Floyd of Rosedale clash with Minnesota. If you love physical football, loud Saturdays and heartfelt traditions, this is your scene.
